Meanwhile, in Hour 2 it's Perera Elsewhere and she tells us;
'Elsewhere can be a really moody & abstract place of musical refuge but there is definitely also a dancefloor there...this mix tries to incorporate all of that.  In the end, the darkness of the dancefloor are a way of escaping the illusion that we call reality. At least it was for me having grown up in grimey London....doomed folk need doom folk and skanking dance music. '

Solid Steel Radio Show 30/5/2014 Part 3 + 4 - Perera Elsewhere

EAT LIQUID is a Live LP by Annika Henderson, aka ANIKA, composed for and performed at the Zeiss Planetarium in Berlin in Feb 2023.

Can music be used to elevate the consciousness into psychedelic experiences?

We all seek escape in differing moments, through drugs, alcohol, sex and film but can music offer an alternative? Anika offers a journey into another realm, a safe place, a-top a dreamy soundscape of whining synths, siren calls, long-tailed guitar, all over the grid, to re-find the center of ourselves, a stay-cation to the inner realm, to unpick the stresses of modern day life – a complete experiment with no sinister motives. Spoken word includes cut-ups from Timothy Leary’s 'The Psychedelic Experience' 'First Bardo Instructions' during 'Climb On Board'.

STARGAZING WITH ANIKA
A poem written by Hanne Lippard in the context of the Planetarium.

Gazing at the stars
Which are not real stars
But a theater imitating the sky
in a man-made dome-shaped space
I think of asterisks
Those small stars
That are placed at the end of a word
To indicate that this is not the end
Not the end of the word
Not the end of the world
Not the end of a man-made doomed space Not the end of the sky
But rather a continuation
Of its endlessnessnessnessnessnessness

info text:::

There is a purpose behind ambient music: it is utility music. Brian Eno made that clear once and for all with ‘Music for Airports’ – the utilitarian nature of this music can already be found in the title. But way before that, in 1920, Erik Satie composed ‘Musique d’ameublement’ – furniture music. Satie created true background music as a reaction against the misuse of classical music as a carpet of sound. The purpose of his furniture music was also to bridge the awkward gaps in conversation in social situations. In turn, Eno’s airport music is meant to serve as background music while sounding interesting enough for listeners to become absorbed. If we go by Eno’s definition, the music on T.Raumschmiere’s new album is not ambient. Although – or in fact, because – each individual track on this album immediately and effortlessly generates atmospheres, it is impossible not to be drawn in. T.Raumschmiere sucks the listener into the perceptible endlessness of his pulsating sounds, even though the music does not actually expect anything from the listener. It is not demanding, it does not sound lofty or ethereal. It is in constant movement and evolution while sounding grounded at the same time. The tracks are not weightless; they have body.
A darkly beating pulse works like a machine through the surging pads of ‘Dampfer.’ Synths drone languidly on ‘Anker.’ T.Raumschmiere deftly manages to avoid succumbing to the kitsch that often arises from these kinds of sounds. ‘Grotznogg’ has an inner stillness within the rustling and scattered clattering and clanging. ‘Zwischenstopp’ provides the perfect soundtrack for a submarine ride, complete with depth sounder and an undercurrent of anxiety. The track ‘007’ is a post-industrial masterpiece – warm, heavy, and latently threatening. And the list goes on.
Clearly a new meaning of the term ambient is needed to describe the music on this album more accurately. It is music that never sounds deliberate yet at the same time is so compelling, which might have something to do with the fact that Shitkatapult label founder Marco Haas aka T.Raumschmiere is the one behind it. As T.Raumschmiere, Haas produces a sound with influences ranging from bass music and
punk rock to industrial; the names of his records speak best for themselves: Monstertruckdriver, Sick Like Me, I Tank U… everyone knows what the deal is here. It is only logical that his new album is just called ‘T.Raumschmiere.’ This record is certainly an excellent lubricant for dreams.
Haas is known for his take-no-prisoners approach to his live sets, which feature distorted beats, grueling basses, and steep descents. Now for the flipside, the negative image of the sound that made T.Raumschmiere famous, the sound that has allowed us to get closer to the understanding of this magic ambient music. The shadow of T.Raumschmiere does not come in with massive beats and basses, yet it
is so imposing and so dark that it seems within our grasp.
In addition to his duties as label manager, musician, and DJ, Haas has also worked as a producer for other artists such as Dieter Meier, Fraktus, Barbara Morgenstern, Das Bierbeben, and Ofrin over the past
few years. The new album by Shrubbn!!, his collaboration with Ulli Bomans, will be released on
Shitkatapult.

Anika a.k.a Annika Henderson (D/GB) is a hybrid artist. The former journalist made a name for herself in the electronic music scene, with her experimental sound collages, confrontational texts and unique way of performing live solo. Her breakthrough came in 2010 with the release of the cult-hit, experimental LP, ‚Anika‘ (Stones Throw /Invada), which she recorded with Geoff Barrow and band Beak> in Bristol, a wholey unplanned affair, which began Anika's journey into the music, film, poetry and arts scenes. Her most known song remains ‚I Go To Sleep‘, a cover of ‚The Kinks‘ 1965 classic.
