Music by Sophia Zhuravkova

NAN02 © 2020 NY AGENDA & Sophia Zhuravkova

In what could be seen as an effort to redefine or decode the core idea of the field recording as simply the aural equivalent of a photograph; the works of Zhuravkova casts an effortlessly clear spotlight on a new vision of nature. A nature which is connected and wi-fi accessible, a nature of which every part is browsable via satellite view in Google Maps. A nature which might never know true solitude beyond that which we project unto it. 

And yet our idea of nature as a place outside of society is inherently a definition of solitude due to its lack of people. One might have thought that the advances of modern communication technology would make us immune to solitude; as we are always a phone call, video call or text message away from just about anyone else. Does anyone even enter a forest without the safety net of a smartphone these days? However, the biology of our minds cannot be fooled - we are hardwired for physical contact. In light of this, the voice samples on Unseen only serves to haunt the album with a hollow presence, enforcing the notion of solitude. 

But this is not solitude of the desolate kind. While equally tapping into the emotional potential of longing, there is tranquility and harmony in the soundscapes Zhuravkova envisions. The opaque haze of these compositions keeps one grounded in their eternal presence. This experience which Zhuravkova aims to capture reveals an intimacy with oneself in our relation to the “nature” of the outdoors. However transparent the world may seem through the lens of modern technology, there is still the possibility of the unseen. 

Vision itself is a key element to Zhuravkova’s music; as her daytime job is as a video editor, she often draws from this experience when composing. “It happens naturally” she says. “For instance, as a visual story unfolds it has a rhythm, a picture, a sound, and a meaning. They come together to produce an image in one’s mind. People only hear sounds, while I know all the intimate feelings, which were put into each track.”

Personal Wastelands is an album rooted in contradiction. Although FOQL and Fischerle are both based in Poland, these two artists—who are working together here for the first time—come from distinctly different backgrounds. FOQL, a former member of the groundbreaking Oramics collective who’s currently a part of SHAPE’s 2020 artist roster, usually operates in the margins between IDM and industrial, while Fischerle, a sonic nomad who heads up the Pawlacz Perski label, is someone whose detailed creations routinely bust through established notions of genre.

Forged over the course of a few sessions in FOQL’s Warsaw studio, the album began with improvisation, as the two artists—armed only with two identical drum machines—gradually discovered some remarkably potent common ground, a nebulous "wasteland" of bleak atmospheres, hypnotic dub and corroded rhythms. There’s a bleakness to the music, yet the album's percolating percussion and robust basslines—which nod toward the more experimental end of the UK hardcore continuum—are downright lively, even when they've been slathered in sludgy reverb. Like many releases on Paralaxe Editions, Personal Wasteland defies easy categorization, but despite its many contradictions, it's a compelling document of what can happen when two exploratory talents join forces and simply let their creativity run free.

Personal Wasteland

Swimming Pool 2.0

It makes less sense to say that Maths Balance Volumes formed in 2002 than to say that, since that year, they have been collapsing into something, again and again. Just as the three members fell together with no plan or allegiance to any style or genre, each track falls together as the broken pieces of songs and sounds meet to make a temporary and frightening whole. Things make their way into a Maths Balance Volumes song when they don’t or won’t work anymore, when they have escaped their owner, or hidden away where nobody is supposed to find them. When things fall together—when the wooden creaks and radio hisses gather for a minute alongside bass lines and melancholy voice—there is a beauty that sounds like it was made by nobody and for nobody.

The city of Mankato, Minnesota has been the steady gathering point for the band since its beginnings. Mankato had always provided an ominous backdrop: built on stolen Dakota land, the city was the site of the largest mass execution in US history, when 38 Dakota prisoners were hanged on in 1862 in a straightforward act of genocide. But in their music of the past twelve years, Maths Balance Volumes has made music in and of a hometown overshadowed and unsettled by its history, music for a world in which things have never been okay. Traditional American folk genres seep in at times, but never as the incarnation of a living popular culture—only as ghosts or unliving effigies.

A Year Closer tells us already in its title what its theme is: approaching death, time ticking away and getting closer with each track of the record. We are told in the first song that our protective mask isn’t working, warned by the storm clouds and a ticking bedroom clock in “Dark Skies.” We hear fears of death approaching in the sad words exchanged by lovers who see they will run out of time, or already have, as in “We Had Time” or the romantic lament of “When I Drink.” In “Work Last Monday,” all of life passes with cold automatism in an “office apartment,” as a narrator broods over early onset dementia, remembers the details of rituals for respecting the dead, and thinks of how a hole is opening up in reality itself. The singer of “Over the Hill” isn’t apparently afraid of growing older and becoming a “man,” but only leaks a few disjointed details of his plans for disappearing, collapsing, turning into a tree, and finding a home. “Angel of Mercy” tries to resurrect the Christian promise of a life after death, anxiously asking if anyone is up there waiting for us after the oblivion of this world. 

But these are just the moments when A Year Closer speaks in words clear and audible enough to be understood. The giddy, agitated voice of “The Price” speaks only to itself in a private language, hidden away in a tin can somewhere. Musically, A Year Closer is a series of pieces that make symphonies out of separate processes of decay and disappearance: unidentified cracking and creaking objects, broken equipment, and lost melodies that seem to have escaped other songs and wandered into the room looking for a place to hide. These are the moments that the listener of Maths Balance Volumes always knows are coming, waits for, and settles in temporarily for a moment of repose. Maybe this is the meaning of A Year Closer: while waiting for the worst, things come together, a “we” with no name but with a rhythm, a tenuous but definite harmony to share as the clock ticks. Even if, when the lights are turned on, it turns out nobody was there. - Paul Buchholz

'A celebration of love on the day love is celebrated, packed with sensual sounds from the most sensual country in the world. Di Maggio & Romanetti, the two jesters in charge of Gravità Permanente on dublab.es, deliver a mixtape that delves into Italy's immense heritage of stage and library music, drawing heavily from the erotic movies of the 70s and recombining them into a new and warped matter where sensuality obtains a new meaning. You are served with one-hour of seduction and lovemaking sounds - the soundtrack of a modern Bacchanalia.’ By Gravità Permanente (P+S, Pedro&Stefano)
