M i r r o r   N e u r o n  is a compilation of occurrences characterised by ‘phonetic entropy’ mechanisms of autocomposition alongside aleatoric cut-up text generation and interdependent generative sampling. A collaboration using recorded fragments by Stephan Barrett, clarinet, and tape loops morphed into cerpintxt’s speech-driven compositions. An amalgamation which generates an exponentially regressive vocal terrain that is the backdrop against which instrumental slivers of hydrophones, clarinet and Kacapi flicker.

@stephanbarrett is a musician and improviser inspired by the resonance of objects gleaned whilst walking and the imaginary potential of sonic landscapes interested in found instruments, performing in a variety of scenarios including jazz-noir outfit Georges Kaplan Presents, the London Improvisers’ Orchestra, and Apocalypse Jazz Unit amongst others.

mirror neuron (with Stephan Barrett)

a longform study in systematic harmonic erosion, materialised within a wall of cascading and spectrally smeared vocal layers, retrograding guitar pulses and speech-driven composition. a corrosive vocal terrain that is the backdrop against which skeletal frequency swells flicker.

the cyclical narrative bleeds into an exploration of phonetic entropy mechanisms of autocomposition; voices without bodies reflecting off each other like a recurring dream.

cerpintxt is an electroacoustic progress report concerned with generating an invented language of a particular strain of softness through auto-destruction, phonetic entropy, and augmented instrumentation. texturally reliant on wind instruments, broken turntablism, prepared zither, tape recorders, and modular synthesis. she curates the London-based event Boundary Condition investigating the parallelization between dark jazz, hauntology, and music concrete as nostalgia-centric practices.

Hailing from Egypt, @alaayussry (Cerpintxt) is a vocalist and sound artist pushing the boundaries of experimental ambient. 

Clocking in at a considerable 17 minutes 59 seconds, her forthcoming track 'microtuble encoded memory' is a long-form beatless workout that straddles haunting vocals, floating keys and deep sonics. It ebbs, flows, twists, turns and stares into your soul.

03 dweller in the eye (live with Ruben Sonnoli)

A series of funerary songs and chants; field recordings and commentary from Palestine and El Nakba, nubian folk, Peruvian Inca, Yunnan and Guizhou songs, Egyptian resistance classics, the harp of david in ethiopia, japanese Koto songs, and chants from the roof of the world. The mix ends with the work of ethnomusicologist filmmaker Carlos Casas documenting the Pamir region: The dargilik songs are an ancient form of Badakhshan lullabies, expressing nostalgic complaints against destiny and injustice of heaven and destiny, longing for distant places, longing for a beloved, sorrow of the mother separated from her daughter, and beyond.

prosthetic sentiments 10 – Carlos Casas: Avalanche Iteration with Cerpintxt

Kristina May presents The Mushroom Explorer. Mushrooms grow from the Earth, and they don’t fit neatly into any of the Kingdoms of living things. They can stretch from the earth to animals, even to the human body. But there’s one undeniable thing about these creatures: they are incredible communicators. Through their mycelia, they can pick up all sorts of messages, from weather changes to the experiences of other mushrooms. In fact, they’ve mastered the fastest and most intelligent form of communication long before the internet ever existed.
We are all Mushroom Explorers to some extent. We are all searching for our own definitions. We all travel to find what matters - both in mind and physically, embedding definitions and getting rid of them, communicating them to the universe, going on infinite journeys, successful or not. Hence whether the journey is enjoyable at the time or not, you may return to find a completely different experience every time – which is the essence of being alive. So in the end, the Mushroom Explorer captures so much, but not everything and nothing at all—after all, it’s confined to a one-hour show. There’s so much more to share.. 
Kristina May is a London-based musician from Transnistria. On one side, Kristina explores deep meditative sounds, trans-inducing Sonics, sequences with subtle changes of rhythms and patterns. On the other side, they are concerned with contrasts in music, cacophony and harmony, noise and silence. They seek colour in music and from there comes the journey they take you to. From their more experimental excursions to the relentless obscure beats, one will always find something exotic and interesting to hold on to.

Cerpintxt is an electroacoustic progress report concerned with generating an invented language of a particular strain of softness through phonetic entropy and augmented instrumentation. Working with cut-ups, dialectics, and chaos magick to decimate language and linear constructs of temporality. In an entropic process of lingual erosion into protoconversation, the textural counterparts of her sound include wind instruments, broken turntablism, tape recorders, granular and modular synthesis. She curates the London-based event ‘Boundary Condition’ investigating the parallelization between darkjazz, hauntology, and music concrete as nostalgia-centric sonic practices, previously hosting Esperanza Spalding, Shabaka Hutchings, Machinefabriek, Carlos Casas and more. She is a resident on Radio Alhara, Radio syg.ma and Mutant Radio.
