EP8 - The Ice Edge that Blooms (Live+DJ Hybrid) on Netil Radio 23-1-22

Aboutface is back live on @Netilradio 12pm - 2pm (UK GMT +1) with his bi-montly live + Dj hybrid show ‘An Ocean of Ink in a Single Drop’.  EP 9, is a special collaborative performance called Qachuu Aloom (Seed is Kin), centered around a specially written poem courtesy of @duckett-1 , expertly and tenderly recited by darker. 

“We've always viewed our seed relatives as relatives and kin” - Tsosie-Peña (Santa Clara Pueblo Native American community). As when seeds thrown into a derelict industrial factory, slowly democratises the decaying steel, this episode explores how planting seeds, figuratively and literally, can be an act of resistance and solidarity, geoshaping the cinders of humanity into a new future and showing us cycles are ephemeral and change is inevitable. 

The amazing supporting animations in this artwork called ‘The Elusive Good Egg, are by @miloustella_art ’. Collaboration is key to building hope and new futures.

EP9 An Ocean Of Ink - Qachuu Aloom (seed is kin) Ft Duckett 27-3-22

The final episode of An Ocean of Ink in a Single drop EP10 - 物の哀れ Mono no Aware. Mono no aware describes the feelings of sympathy a person feels upon becoming aware of the fleeting,impermanent nature of life. Mono no aware suggests that impermanence should not just be accepted, but appreciated, often typified by the beauty of the cherry blossom (Sakura); the flower blooms intensely, yet only for a short period of time each year. As the flowers die and the petals fall, cherry blossoms line the streets like a layer of soft, pink snow, and are most beautiful when captured between the precipice of life and death.

We truly appreciate things when we accept they do not last forever.

Join me for live performances with guitar, flute , clarinet and electronics, conceptually selected music and 6 specially selected Matsuo Bashō Haikus, recorded in Japanese and English by Fumika Geary & darker.

EP10 An Ocean of Ink - Mono no aware (Live & Dj hybryd) recorded live on Netil Radio

Aboutface is back live on Netilradio.com to present An Ocean of Ink season 2 episode 1 of – D3stiny: a surreal sonic narrative based on descriptions of dreams from the collective unconscious, using music selections stitched together with creative writing and live improvised music and sound design.  When the word ‘d3stiny’ is written lucidly during a dream, it initiates a pseudo-reality personalised game experience to fulfil the objectives and complete the game. However, the closer the dreamer comes to completing the game, the more they will start to identify the game as their waking reality, causing disruptions, side effects, and the blurring of all unconscious-conscious realities. This game experience is hosted by Dream Creator 17 (dark_e_r). Time to re-enter the manifold! ✨💤✨

HAPPYTAPESCONTACT@GMAIL.COM

Phases make up a life,

How lucky then am I,

To have had so many.

Ingrain me so with richness,

That real variance of feeling,

Indelible blessing,

Of the highs and lows.

Touched warm like of the sun,

By sweet fear of the yet undone,

A new leaf,

Anxiety’s gift,

To be able to feel and to feel like this.

__

Oh and I know it's made with

Intelligent design,

Paradise perfected,

All elements aligned,

But who's Eden, by design,

Will it resemble your childhood or mine?

In love we trust,

A leap of faith,

Into the next phase,

Our digital escape,

Gaze into eachother's mind's eye,

Released from flesh, to never die,

But can they capture the way,

You look to me,

Glittering in the glow,

Of my fallibility,

Simulate every freckle on your face,

Never dare to approximate,

And with this new leaf,

Save humanity's gift,

To be able to feel,

And to feel like this.

__

Shock my senses with the injustice of morning,

I fear I feel I must be falling,

Back to the earth,

To the seperateness of bodies,

And now you'll never see what I see,

All the beauty,

All the longing,

To share what can only be fleeting,

I wanted that connectedness,

Now I'm out here,

With the rest,

Live our lives,

I guess it's time we tried, OK,

And if I feel there's nothing more to know,

It's only because I haven't known very much of life,

Begging for something more to feel,

Running from anything real,

Coz all that we share,

And all we create,

Can only be laid to waste,

I wanted that connectedness,

Now I'm out here,

With the rest,

Live my life,

I guess it's time I tried, OK.

___

I don't mind that you have to go,

Because I'm still basking in your glow,

Isn't it fine to never find,

Out what you didn't need to know,

Oh you’re not good for me,

And I could never be good for you,

I’m not so arrogant as to believe that I could ever,

Change a thing you do.

NOACH – 25th February 2021 – selected by Wouter

NOACH just continues to amaze me. The way he plays his Slowbeat Tribal and Trancey bangers, I can’t get enough of it. Perfect for the lockdown workplace at home while zoning into your project for two full hours. Or of course play this on a loud volume in your room and start vibing with your clothes off, it’s almost weekend after all…
