Saqiya (Arabic: ساقِية, the Arabic name of a mechanical water lifting device) was a village in Palestine .
The village was situated on uneven terrain on the central coastal plain, 8.5 km east of Jaffa. A number of paved roads passing through or near the village afforded it easy access to Jaffa, Lydda, Tel Aviv, and adjacent villages as well.

According to Israeli sources, the village was attacked and captured on 25 April 1948; a Palestinian source and an Associated Press dispatch both state that it fell a couple of days later, on 27-28 April, along with al-Khayriyya and Kafr 'Ana. In either case, it was one of the villages targeted during Operation Chametz. The History of the Haganah states that Saqiya and neighboring villages were all taken “without a fight”. No mention is made of their residents.

The settlement of Or Yehuda was established in village lands in 1950 to settle Jews from Irak and North Africa. Ramat Pinqas was built in 1952 on land belonging to the neighboring village of al-Khayriyya.

No more than ten houses remain. Some are inhabited by Jewish families, one is used as a workshop for car repair, and others are deserted. One of the occupied houses has a large front door and a garret with a slanted roof extending along the short. A second hosue is quite long and has a large number of wondows of various sizes. A third is a two-storey house whose second floor is fronted by a facade decorated with wide lancet arches. In addition to the houses, there are truncated walls, the mud-brich foundation of a destroyed building, and other debris on the site. There are also cactuses and sycamore, cypress, Christ's-thorn, and palm trees. Part of the surrounding land is cultivated; the rest is covered by settlement buildings.

Memory Scale, whose real name is Arnaud Castagné, is a French musician living in Bordeaux, specializing in melodic and cinematographic ambient/electronic compositions.

Inspired by artists such as ambient pioneer Brian Eno, the 90s ambient scene, IDM, electronica and Krautrock, as well as the sounds of artists such as The Durutti Column, Dieter Moebius, Seefeel, Boards of  Canada or even Tortoise (among others), Memory Scale knew how to merge these varied influences to create a recognizable style.

Memory Scale tracks transport the listener into haunting soundscapes, evoking cinematic images and deep emotions.  Delicate melodies blend seamlessly with atmospheric textures, creating an immersive auditory experience.

Memory Scale - You Could See What I Heard

Mi Cosa de Resistance is Buenos Aires, Argentina based artist Fernando Perales, who has released with labels including Elm, Rusted Tone, Minimal Resource Manipulation, Aural Tethers and his own imprint ‘Hissful Tapes’. Fernando was also the spearhead behind the various artists album ‘A Speechless Body’ which we released on Whitelabrecs in January 2022. Within the line-up of artists included in this project was Ciro Berenguer with whom he has collaborated for this album.  Ciro also originates from Argentina, hailing from Rosario but for the last couple of decades, he has lived in Barcelona, Spain. Ciro’s music has been released on labels such as Dauw, Eilean and Slaapwel. He has also collaborated with Ghost and Tape (Heine Christensen) as Sokkyo.

This collaborative album between Mi Cosa de Resistance and Ciro Berenguer is entitled ‘El final de las lluvias', which translates to ‘The end of the rains’. It is inspired by moments of transition; in the Mediterranean they know Spring has ended and Summer is approaching once the rain subsides. This may be the title of the album and but one example, yet the broader theme of the album is to mark the end of something, and the beginning of something else.

There is a balance of these artists’ respective styles and inputs, in an album adept in presenting light, dark and melancholic moods through its many shades. It’s a space in which their musical personalities can live alongside one another as one, with Fernando’s hints of darkness placed alongside Ciro’s music box compositions and recordings of bicycle rides through the suburbs of Barcelona. It draws in experiences of pre and post pandemic life, from the viewpoint of two populous cities, and its blend of blurred naturalistic-leaning tones sit, decayed, against an urban bedrock. At times optimistic, at times despairing, El final de las lluvias was finished in Spring 2022 as these artists emerged from a 2 year period of life, learning to deal with the challenges of the pandemic. This record, a document, marks the conclusion of one phase, and the beginning of something else.
