Slowly Forgetting, Barely Remembering

A&A continues its mixfile series with a delightful contribution by France-based musician Lucien Balconi. A 50-minute narrative-driven collection of music juxtaposing cumbia with skits and sound experiments, that function as a parenthesis to the dance sections.

Lucien Balconi is a musician based in the south of France. Inspired by the magnificent phenomena of nature, the morning wind that caresses our faces, the end of the day light filtered between the branches of the trees, he composes delicate, sensitive music, charged with emotions, where sometimes dissonant sounds inspire the ambiguity of sensations between fear and appeasement, melancholy and energy.

yibai (Dávid Gerlei) returns to EXILES with ‘Hatch + Foster’, a 20 minute EP exploring the fields of bass-heavy, dynamic ambient with an industrial touch. Following ‘Rianás’ and ‘Force Quit’ (the latter released on Temporary Nites), this latest EP of his follows yibai’s journey into gritty, uncanny worlds where stuttering and rumbling effects, along with defined, leading melodies dominate these six tracks. 

Looping swirls of sound introduce us to ‘Hatch’ – the rapid pulses implicate the birth of an organism, an entity that is yet to see the light of day. ‘Breadth’ follows with airy and misty horns and hard-hitting beats, accompanying a slow and graceful melody under several layers of swampy synths. Passing the torch on to ‘Mass’, the first moments indeed resemble the intensity of the previous track, but the cadencing flow quickly turns into a long, droney, dense material of steaming blackness. 

The dramatic arc breaks in the middle with ‘Balm’. A distorted noise introduces the track, which then turns into menacing drones of sustained buzzes and retriggered gestures, building up slowly into a polyphonic chorus of wounded voices. It falls apart constantly, then tries again, and with the support of fragile, voice-like echoes it reaches a bridge to the final section of the EP.

Sudden bursts and carefully placed units of silence dominate the last two tracks of ‘Hatch + Foster’. The penultimate track, ‘Foster’ creates a harsh mixture of spry harps and the sound of a desperate scream. Piece by piece, it adds more and more unsettling elements with a defined pulse, turning the composition into a focused exercise of inhale and exhale. The EP arrives at the vibrant, glossy yet bitter leading melody of ‘Infra’, where the wandering main theme with a hectic sense of direction ends abruptly, leaving behind nothing but a stark and somber impression of yibai’s current ars poetica.

Closing out our life is beautiful records residency at TANK, THE NARRATOR & Isaiah Hull share “MORTAL OIL OF THE SPOILED SPIRIT”. Traversing time and space, from a club queue to a nightmare flight to a car drive home, this remarkable, mind-melting work of music and sound culminates in the eternal question: “What is the poetry?”

until we meet again ♡ (𝘬𝘪𝘰𝘴𝘬 𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘰 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥)

D!ANA always moves me but this time it’s inward. Contemplation is also a dance. Reflection is a murkier pool. Looking at and in and back and up—we’re facing something. Perhaps the huge spiral down which we’ve tumbled and now must claw back up. Perhaps a great cloud of garbled messages stuck on loop, on a broken machine (the mind is a broken machine, and thus a perfect one). 

Feels desolate when any answer is, in an instant, undone by another. When water tastes like metal questions clang through hard pipes. Like, how to move forward when stuck in the mud of perpetual regret? Wonder. Am I moving forward or circling some far off conclusion? Delineation. What space is there, suspended here: a tear for bliss, a haunting.
