Channelling an array of fervent interests in many genres through different mediums (Film, Music, Sound Art and more), Kinn - the brooding-electronics project of London based artist Freddy Lomas - and his guests use original soundscapes and compositions to weave together an original concept for each month's show.

In this show, Mark Leckey entrusts Kinn with re-contextualising several of the Turner Prize-winning artist’s works from 1999-2021. From his recent commission at the Tate Britain, O’Magic Power of Bleakness (2019) which was released on vinyl by Boomkat earlier this year, to his greatly influential Dream English Kid, 1964 - 1999 AD (2015) and Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore (1999).

Providing Kinn with access to his archive, Kinn began extracting the audio from his films, re-harmonising and sampling moments that possessed “musical potential” or "evocative phrasing" and transforming them into instruments which he then wrote the album with, delving into the contemporary artist’s conceptual framework as inspiration for the music. The result is Mark Leckey’s career-spanning vision translated into the format of music, his favoured themes of nostalgia, dread and anxiety are exaggerated and punctuated by bold and articulate musical expression, providing an emotionally rich auditory journey which fans of both artist’s works will recognise and love. Resonance Extra premiers this collaborative work as more of an album transmission akin to the early days of John Peel Sessions rather than a radio DJ mix.

Kinn describes the work as “sitting firmly in the middle of my last record (Anamnesis Landscape, released on First Light Records last year) and where I am moving forward with my sound, a schism of classic instrumentation and harmony being enhanced by contemporary sound design, Albini-fan-boy recording techniques and studio wizardry”.

Also features additional instrumentation by Will Langstone (Cello) & Louis Giannamore (Percussion).

Kinn Presents #7 - Mark Leckey & Kinn: All of That Which Converges Beneath The Bridge

Artist: V/A
Album: 5
Format: Digital / Tape
Cat.No: CHI042
Master: Justin Randel
Artwork: Saphy Vong
Release Date: 23rd November 2022

Celebrating five years of the experimental music label Chinabot, longtime collaborators and new acts join together for 5, Chinabot’s latest compilation release on cassette and digital.
The 12-track compilation features music from key artists who have defined Chinabot as a label, such as Jaeho Hwang, Sabiwa, Sarah Haras, Ayankoko, JPN Kasai and Pal Hwang Dan. The mix also looks to the future of the label with new artists Nanzhen Yang, Papaphilia, Chooc Ly and more.

Leaning into the label’s experimental tendencies, 5 journeys through fractured club tunes from Papaphilia, the experimental electronic project of queer Sri Lankan-Australian sound and visual artist Fjorn Bastos, hardcore rave from Jaeho Hwang, percussive broken beats and percussive broken beats and cinematic soundscapes from QwentyZ, and Beijing field recordings (described by the artist as “blurred memories”) from Nanzhen Yang.
It continues the hyper-eclectic vision which has become synonymous with the label, which seeks to take risks and promote the work of exciting emerging producers. The record features Ondo footwork from JPN Kasai, whorecently changed his artist name from Jap Kasai following the racist discrimination against a friend in Europe (“‘Jap’ is a derogatory term for Japanese people,” he says. “I used to dare to use it, but I have changed my mind. I don’t want to encourage discrimination against Japanese people.”) Like the compilation, his track, 早苗 唄 hayanae uta, is about the emergence of the new in this case, growth of rice shoots and the “happiness of harvest.”

Growth and experimentation remain key in the track from new Chinabot artist Papaphilia, who is due to release a full album next year. Inspired in part by the voracious learning of her newborn, ‘no path is forged over the abyss without meeting at the altar’ expresses the “leaps into the unknown that forging radical new meaning requires.”

The new compilation, with artwork by Saphy Vong, pays tribute to London’s experimental music scene, showcasing producers Chooc Ly, Yewen Jin and Nanzhen Yang who have performed at Chinabot’s events in the city over the years.
