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 #6 dives deep into the emotional landscape of spring, blending fragile sounds, acoustic instruments, harsh textures and shifting tempos. This episode aims to encapsulate the vulnerable yet resilient essence of spring, marking the transition from hibernation into lighter and longer days - May the spring be bright for ALL of us. Join us in this otherworldly (and fun) place that Seasonal Sounds #6 wants to paint for your years. SPRING.

Seasonal Sounds #6: Spring

Landjakaku takes you on a journey through a metaphysical space where pitched and playful voices guide you into a lysergic world.
Intricate and unusual percussive elements, seemingly shaped from the ground itself, create a mesmerizing and quirky groove.

The first track begins with wobbly and watery sounds that evoke the strange and wondrous nature surrounding you. These sounds blend seamlessly with a complex 7/8 rhythm. This intriguing beginning lays the foundation for the adventure ahead, as the energy builds progressively throughout the EP.
The second track introduces a wacky dancehall groove with rolling, stoned drums, creating an hypnotic and captivating atmosphere.
The third track leans towards a more tropical and playful vibe, infusing the EP with moments of lightheartedness. The final track bring you into a spicy footwork closing the journey on a note that is both esoteric and electrifying.

Absorb is proud to present ‘Thought Makes Music’, the highly anticipated long-player by gi, solo moniker of unbridled musician, performer, and lyricist Gigi De Lacy (Optic Nerve).

'Thought Makes Music' is gi’s farthest-reaching work, a conclusive vision that follows a succession of revered sketches and short-form releases on labels such as Altered States Tapes (AUS) and Beyond the Bridge (ROK). So far her work sits on the outer limits of what can be considered “dance music”, and at full-length, its singular and immersive quality is glaring. Here, gi’s familiar spacious sound design and metallic IDM percussion is refined by an intertidal palette and restrained songwriting parameters. Given a larger canvas, gi works with increasingly blurred, distorted and feedbacking sounds, enclosed by asynchronous rhythms, bent and then snapped back into grid; the album reveals its musicality in moments of overlap, where everything happens at once.

Across eight tracks, listeners find electronic music that is less concerned with narrative so much as with landscape. gi habitually uses a set of recurring samples, melodies and drums to create the murky atmosphere that permeates the record. Instances of repetition, like a re-used drum break across 'laces', 'coil' & 'rapture' reveal a practice that is constantly rearranging itself via generative drum programming and resampled modulation. This impulse for repetition snowballs into a prominent exploration into feedback on this release. From the warping harmonies on 'feedback'; screeching textures on 'rapture'; and the metronomic jolts of frequency on 'morning' and 'knots', we hear gi’s fascination with “failed” methods of capture, nodding to her history with DIY, punk and hardcore scenes in so-called Australia. Exploring “blown out” re-recorded musical qualities for the first time under the gi alias, we find overtures of amplified noise bleed into otherwise crisp arrangements.

Allowing discreet reference-points to blur, new tonal profiles and distorted intensities arise for gi. 'Thought Makes Music' draws connections with the world around it, following rolling moments of feeling. gi presents her debut confidently, but the sound remains curious, playful & protective of itself; it answers no questions.

08. Rapture (with Marcus Whale)

"𝘪𝘯 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 is an affirmation of communion. An invitation to contemplate that we are threaded by the same material traces, imprinting us —first through our senses, then through the distillation of experience into memory and its gifts: perspective, continuity, belonging. An analog photograph contains traces of the light that touched who or what was pictured. A body of water is the link between anything that was ever in it, no matter whether it leaves or stays. Words, tarot cards, and any other signs are portals to all the previous and future times they emerge. The walls of a room in a gallery or a house are coated with what happened inside it. A harp string disrupts the elements with the same vibration that travels and interacts with our bones. 𝘪𝘯 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 is an invocation of the tangible as encounter, of the shared object as a site that refracts punctual experience into a new kind of collective knowledge. A portrait and a prayer that suture the wound between body and instrument, between voice and name."
