With ‘Game Mechanics for Voices: The Place of Landscape,’ Aske Zidore explores composing for four voices (SSAA) by introducing game mechanics and turn-based strategies. The recordings consist of three movements, performed live by vocalists from Norwegian ensemble Trondheim Voices at the Øra Studio in Trondheim, March 2023.

The piece uses game mechanics as notation systems; wooden games, including card, board, and tile structures, serve as the foundation for transforming rules into musical instructions. The four vocalists perform the music by playing together, and through gameplay orchestrate the progression of the composition.

The libretto revolves around creation, endowing the voices with a narrative quality that evokes new linguistic and auditory landscapes - an exploration of the human voice as an instrument for expression and storytelling!

Music from the dance piece by Stanley Ollivier. A performance that explores everyday reality and social changes through a danced language that reflects the interrelations between the intimate, the body and the creation of a guarded, safe space.
The soundtrack made by Villads Klint, is a trace of the physical work. A music in search of something real, never to be found.

Lyrics:
Dear Amephrey,
I met someone at the end of a dirt road
on a hill overlooking the coastal forest
He was leaning on his scooter
Mild scent of gas
from an old Honda Zoomer
My skin was tinted green by the glow of his eyes 
Minding my reactions now, I think I’m calling for a tutor

Dear Ontario,
this year my heart went bankrupt
I’m outgrowing eye contact
You need to confide in a stronger stranger
But prepare to see!
Frisk all the explanatory models under your tongue 
Prepare to bring your own narrative in danger

Amephrey,
I’ve heard that queer peers help each other
to some sense of superiority
Introduce me to your kin, the bold
Nobody’s ever
gonna reward my bros for their unsurpassed self-control 
For clinging to definedness,
to one aesthetic throughout years foretold

No Ontario,
I won’t let you fetishize simplicity in peace
I go to sleep so close to electricity
I surf on my tongue in its shadow
How dare you speak
of the sensibility that you and your bros deem taboo 
just because it’s inaccessible to you?

But Amephrey,
I looked back at him!
Out of that handsome place he could have made
the air race across our skin. Be nice,
oh but be honest
I’m merely some corporation’s attempt at being human 
I mean you kind of are the machinist here
You must have some advice

But Ontario,
which tutor would I be to you?
A queer parent rooting for you at an easy distance?
Or a soon-to-be accomplice pioneering your new-paradigm pleasures? 
This binary inquiry
and the mutiny laughing at it makes me anxious
I find myself reduced to appreciative features

Amephrey,
why this need to know?
A process hasn’t got to be guided
by the uncovering of what could go missing
Oh but let your questions be physical
I’m the longing tech in a provincial park – listen;
So open to my life renewing –
for decisions reaching out from your nervous system

No Ontario,
I say risk the confident quirk at the buffet then!
This person offered you carrots,
and now you’re wondering what to make of it
Then risk sitting down
Here's to the art of spotting a dick balancing a crowd
Here’s to staying around to remind his ulterior motives to come out 
and have at it

Jura - Amephrey and Ontario

Copenhagen-based DJ and producer Ingrate is ready with his debut EP ‘With A System In Mind’ out 14th of February via Copenhagen label Anyines.

Buy here: https://anyines.bandcamp.com/album/with-a-system-in-mind

Having previously roamed the club scene as Kid Antoine, this EP kicks off the moniker Ingrate, presenting a more mysterious and playful world of sonics; radcool speaker stack music, designed “with a system in mind”. The four tracks of the EP continue in the path of the only Ingrate release so far - 2018’s “Crypto Poser/The Enigma" out via Oli XL’s W-I (now Bloom) label. But it’s as if Ingrate is bringing an even quirkier funk to the club this time. Like a 2020 version of Mr. Oizo, if only a little sexier.

The connection to friend and collaborator Oli XL is clear in the sonics of the EP. Both of them masters of teasing the club - making you smile on the dancefloor. Touching on the the banalities and clichés of club music while still seeking new sound territories, the record is a slight tongue-in-cheek, but optimistic take on the dance music scene of the coming decade. Play it in the club, if you dare.

‘Imp’ takes point with it’s babbling percussion, hammering it’s beliefs firmly in steel against a backdrop of falling, redemptive pads. The jealous, hollow sounding cymbal voices of ‘Deceived’ counterpoint their own thoughts of despair. ‘Hoax’ is a sleight of hand spectacle; a svengali trick deck is conjured up and away again, as at the hand of a deception artist in the middle of a thick smoke screen. In the midst of it all, the listener’s only trustworthy companion becomes a mischievous “catch me if you can" synth; teasing, but still leading them, on their way through this world of mirages. 
The EP’s grand finale is ‘Yourself’ - a funhouse of the mind, full of blinding strobes, distorting mirrors and winking figures.

The world is strange, buckle up for the ride.
