Motion Cast Vol. 44: Lena Tsibizova

16 July 2020

A series of bleak, blustery scenes make up Nazanin Noori’s Farce. Noori, who also works as a theater director, conjures glacial storms and buzzing subterranean server farms on this album; but such scenes were far from the artist’s guiding narrative as it was being produced. The two tracks, clocking in at 80 minutes total, were envisioned as an enraged argument (or a "modular heartbreak") unfolding between two groups of people about a pothole in the road, told from the perspective of the road, and then the pothole.

This surreal, mundane plot device is nowhere to be found on Farce in any concrete way. And this is intentional. Noori, inspired by Artaud's concept of the theatre of cruelty, wants listeners to develop their own sensorial world separate from the musician's. When not darkly ambient, the tracks are full of drama and whimsy, as if a spotlight is following a character along a wayward path, into the hands of fate. The emotional hooks in the sound include a sense of desperate desolation, optimistic reprieve, and of course, the sense that ritual repetition is both a curse and a blessing—but they resist obvious imagery. Exactly what kinds of characters or settings get hung on the album's scaffolding is up to the audience. Listening with a hi-fi sound-system is highly recommended.

Dead Inside Podcasts Presents: Sounds of a Post Apocalyptic Landscape by George Chua - 29/01/2021

In this cosmic ship we surrender ourselves to serve the sentence of the future. "Invent me", she whispers. There's space for everyone here. A fate that doesn't include you is not ours. For everyone the light, the night, the fight for our right to the Divine Sight - to incarnate in this realm as a spiritual adventure. So join us. Don't worry, there's nothing to fear.  Death can't touch us - only oblivion. So out of our hearts we create this new Ark, to keep our memories safe and stored. Enjoy with us. 
This is the Soul Station.
