One year after the release of Gryphon Rue and Merche Blasco’s North of The Future, Tigersushi presents Resounding: North of The Future, transmutations of the album by a dynamic group of sound artists summoned by Gryphon and Merche, queering the notion of the “remix” and replacing it with a far more radical entity. 

In 2020’s New York summer, Gryphon Rue and Merche Blasco gathered for sonic purges. Seeded in a deep yearning to disrupt the idle thick air of quarantine, these purges became an emotional conduit. The music charts non-idiomatic improvisations bound to deformations of time and place. Drawn and refined from these sessions, North Of The Future is an accurate and sublime summation of a profoundly mournful year – it is a blissful, yet frightening album. Merche Blasco’s scarcely governable EMS Synthi AKS (“Cintia”) tangles signals with Gryphon Rue’s custom synth (“Fritz”), threaded with siren-calls of the duo’s bowed saws and harmonium. 

Resounding: North of The Future was sparked by a remark by the writer and curator Bob Nickas, who claimed he could hear "space station disco" in the afterglow of the music. From this departure point, Gryphon and Merche invited electronic and media artists to channel the tracks with their distinct voices. The result is a wild assemblage, drifting in languorous ambiences that haunt and soothe, nourish and dissolve into, out of, and beyond crescendo.

Featuring Bergsonist, Joakim, Will Epstein (AKA High Water), Jenn Grossman, León & Sayed, Lee Gilboa, Ruth Garbus and Bryce Hackford.

Bergsonist’s mesmerizing darbuka grooves over shivering chords and ominous textures, bookending the collection with her second remix of Super Tender (punningly titled Tenderize).

The LP, mostly inspired by Ursula L Guins Earthsea, follows the narrative of a shadow/gebbeth stalking oneself and trying to overpower the phases of one submitting to & resisting it. Susu's voice demonstrates the gebbeth, using her voice as an instrument, representing it in various proximities but also at times it represents the soul in various states responding to the gebbeth. The backing and verse then operate as a call and response between the gebbeth and the soul. Many lyrics are inspired and formed from a Persian book of poetry and the cut-up technique style within it. Her trademark dark & harrowing sound is prominent throughout, taking influence from dabke rhythms.

Seasonal Sounds is a seasonal programme which aims to do a sonic interpretation of the current (and coming) season - both in terms of pace, seasonal events and its characteristics. It combines a variety of musical genres, sonic textures and field recordings in a mix for the season.

Seasonal Sounds #4 is dedicated to the season of autumn. Slowly, but surely the scenery changes in color and temperature, and it reminds us of both an ending and a new beginning. It gives space for a reflective mind and for one to find comfort in melancholia, thoughtfulness and careful repetition. Suddenly it's here, and we try to value its beauty, because we know it is temporary. AUTUMN.
