Perspectives

25 - Zilal is BULK by Lasse Buhl

Baudelaires poetries remain one of the most influential centrepieces in my book collection and they are maybe my most re-read volume of poems. Like all great poets he was an acute observer and an ingenious translator of feelings. His words paint precise and poignant pictures of the shapeless and inenarrable, like a mood or a sentiment. Sometimes only music can have the same effect on me. However, the fascination and the bloom of „Les Fleurs du Mal“ goes beyond that. Baudelaire's observations, could be considered overall as „negative“, for example as pessimistic - like the unfulfilled human pursuit of integrity -, or as repulsive - like the tristesse of urban hedonism. Induced by the linguistic beauty the emotional experiencing of the seemingly „negative“ or „evil“ - which in some places of the book can be kind of an explicit sense of self - transforms into a bittersweet atmosphere that holds grace and grandeur. Here I see a strong commonality with some music I love and I feel there is a similar approach entire music genres might have pursued: Maybe more than other art forms, music is sometimes met with refusal, confusion and lack of understanding when things become aestheticised, that are distasteful, obnoxious, cruel or - to stay with Baudelaire - „evil“. But behind all this stands a reality, the musician as an acute observer is witness to. Ars longa, vita brevis.

This mix, rather a sound collage, is meant to sonically illustrate the pictures Baudelaire put in my mind; sometimes a direct reflection of the texts, sometimes a associative pairing to the feelings Baudelaire's words elicit. Many thanks to my speakers M’hmed (Znzl), Marie-Emmanuelle, Ronan (NZM99), Ruby, Sébastien (Hørd), Sébastien (UVB), Sydney Valette, Theo (Mind | Matter). Without you it would not have been possible to materialise the concept. Many thanks to Marie-Emmanuelle for sparking the initial idea.

ISN'T NO PLACE AND ALL PLACES THE SAME PLACE

I follow my beliefs blindly until agencies prove them wrong and I feel lost and reborn (part II)

@failed-units is a new label emerging out of Berlin and Manchester, launching with a debut EP of twisted electronics titled 'Dawn Of The Failed Units Pt.1' from @daniel-ruane-2.

The EP is backed with a @loftminduk remix.  On her "Hibernation Loop" of 'Nest', LOFT counteracts the bass-loaded low-end of the original with outer textures that spiral into a higher realm.

Out May 31, pre-order it here: https://failedunits.bandcamp.com/album/dawn-of-the-failed-units-pt-1-daniel-ruane

Taken from the new various artists compilation 'NH VOL. 3', out November 15th.

https://nervoushorizon.bandcamp.com/album/nh-v-a-vol-3

-- NHVA003 --

Nervous Horizon is very proud to present ‘NH VOL 3’ — the third instalment of the label’s pioneering compilation series.

Featuring a host of new additions to the label family including the likes of Tzusing, object blue, Chevel and Ehua, as well as long-term associates DJ JM and DJ Plead and bosses TSVI and Wallwork, ‘NH VOL 3’ traverses everything from reggaeton to techno, exploring some of the most upfront and abstract club sounds emanating from dance floors all over the world.

Constantly evolving, the tracklist’s shifts in tempo, rhythm and palette are reflective of TSVI and Wallwork’s borderless approach to the club that’s seen them oversee releases ranging from stark, explosive Gqom (Da Soul Boyz) to powerful, game-changing drum tracks (DJ Plead) over the last five years.

‘NH VOL 3' takes this outlook fully global; Chinese producer Tzusing throws out pulsing, peak- time techno on ‘24hr’ with TSVI, Wallwork experiments at 100bpm on ‘Hacienda’ — a track inspired by Lisbon’s Taraxxo club beats — and Italian-Ivorian producer Ehua enchants on the explosive ‘Meteora’.

Beatrice Dillon - Workaround
Format: LP / DL
Cat.No: PAN 106
Release Date: 07 February 2020
Purchase: bit.ly/33ISoYr

‘Workaround’ is the lucidly playful and ambitious solo debut album by rhythmobsessive musician and DJ, Beatrice Dillon for PAN. It combines her love of UK club music’s syncopated suss and Afro- Caribbean influences with a gamely experimental approach to modern composition and stylistic fusion, using inventive sampling and luminous mixing techniques adapted from modern pop to express fresh ideas about groove-driven music and perpetuate its form with timeless, future-proofed clarity.

Recorded over 2017-2019 between studios in London, Berlin and New York, ‘Workaround’ renders a hypnotic series of polymetric permutations at a fixed 150bpm tempo. Mixing meticulous FM synthesis and harmonics with crisply edited acoustic samples from a wide range of guests including UK Bhangra pioneer Kuljit Bhamra (tabla); Pharoah Sanders Band’s Jonny Lam (pedal steel guitar); techno innovators Laurel Halo (synth/vocal) and Batu (samples); Senegalese Griot Kadialy Kouyaté (Kora), Hemlock’s Untold and new music specialist Lucy Railton (cello); amongst others, Dillon deftly absorbs their distinct instrumental colours and melody into 14 bright and spacious computerised frameworks that suggest immersive, nuanced options for dancers, DJs and domestic play.

‘Workaround’ evolves Dillon’s notions in a coolly unfolding manner that speaks directly to the album’s literary and visual inspirations, ranging from James P. Carse’s book ‘Finite And Infinite Games’ to the abstract drawings of Tomma Abts or Jorinde Voigt as well as painter Bridget Riley’s essays on grids and colour. Operating inside this rooted but mutable theoretical wireframe, Dillon’s ideas come to life as interrelated, efficient patterns in a self-sufficient system.

With a naturally fractal-not-fractional logic, Dillon’s rhythms unfold between unresolved 5/4 tresillo patterns, complex tabla strokes and spark-jumping tics in a fluid, tactile dance of dynamic contrasts between strong/light, sudden/restrained, and bound/free made in reference to the notational instructions of choreographer Rudolf Laban. Working in and around the beat and philosophy, the album’s freehand physics contract and expand between the lissom rolls of Bhamra’s tabla in the first, to a harmonious balance of hard drum angles and swooping FM synth cadence featuring additional synth and vocal from Laurel Halo in ‘Workaround Two’, while the extruded strings of Lucy Railton create a sublime tension at the album’s palatecleansing denouement, triggering a scintillating run of technoid pieces that riff on the kind of swung physics found in Artwork’s seminal ‘Basic G’, or Rian Treanor’s disruptive flux with a singularly tight yet loose motion and infectious joy.

Crucially, the album sees Dillon focus on dub music’s pliable emptiness, rather than the moody dematerialisation of reverb and echo. The substance of her music is rematerialised in supple, concise emotional curves and soberly freed to enact its ideas in balletic plies, rugged parries and sweeping, capoeira-like floor action. Applying deeply canny insight drawn from her years of practice as sound designer, musician and hugely knowledgable/intuitive DJ, ‘Workaround’ can be heard as Dillon’s ingenious solution or key to unlocking to perceptions of stiffness, darkness or grid-locked rigidity in electronic music. And as such it speaks to an ideal of rhythm-based and experimental music ranging from the hypnotic senegalese mbalax of Mark Ernestus’ Ndagga Rhythm Force, through SND and, more currently, the hard drum torque of DJ Plead; to adroitly exert the sensation of weightlessness and freedom in the dance and personal headspace.

The album is mixed by James Rand and mastered by Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering. Artwork by Thomas Ruff, layout by Johannes Schnatmann & Bill Kouligas.
