from forthcoming: 

Point of Memory "Void Pusher" 2xLP/tape/CD

Void Pusher is acoustic computer music; combining digital cut ups and
live ambient noise with raw organic qualities. Inaudible super-bass
frequencies pumping through a room filled with acoustic instruments
and electric guitars set to quaver and rumble sympathetically. Then
record the result; a cacophony of resounding snares, harmonizing
drones and the subtle rattle of shakers, bells and tambourines. Most
of the time you can't hear the bass, just the reactions to it.
Sometimes the bass didn't create any rattle at all. By passing the
source sounds through amplifiers at their original frequencies and
mixing them with their reactive acoustic counterparts, each moment
assumes its own physical logic, a sense of movement and consequence,
accidentally adhering to Newton's third law of motion: for each
action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
The intention behind this project was to create an album that, despite
undergoing extensive manipulation, emanates a sense of human warmth
and soul. All the source sounds were recorded live or processed
through reamplification and manipulated live in a studio setting
before being edited at home. The recording sessions took place during
spring, summer, winter, and fall, capturing a broad spectrum of moods
without deliberately seeking catharsis. The aim was to remain
emotionally open and avoid excessive direction, in a superstitious
attempt to capture something of the human condition writ large.
Rather than pursuing personal emotional release, the goal was to
embrace the human experience more generally and avoid individual
emotional states. The logic is that creating music that resonates with
universal feelings and sentiments is more challenging than producing
work that is solely introspective and self-referential. In this way,
the artist sought to be a conduit of the human condition rather than a
"writer." In both method and aspiration, the artist seeks to listen
for what is already transpiring within us, between us, around us,
rather than risk drowning it out with an idea of what should
be.
Unknowable.
It is hoped that through Void Pusher, something of the human
experience has been captured. --- Point of Memory

Point of Memory "Most Of A Murder"

A massive blast at al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza killed nearly 500 Palestinians, triggering global outrage at the slaughter of people, many of whom were taking shelter from nearly two weeks of relentless Israeli bombing of the besieged enclave.

Palestinian officials have accused Israel of bombing the hospital while Tel Aviv has blamed Gaza-based armed groups for the horrific explosion .

The al-Ahli Arab Hospital is located in Gaza’s Old City between the Shujaiya and Zeitoun neighbourhoods in Gaza City.

There have been over 115 attacks on healthcare in Palestine since the start of the conflict on October 7, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

At least 20 hospitals in Gaza City and North Gaza and one hospital in Rafah have received repeated evacuation orders from the Israeli military, and 77 attacks have been documented in the West Bank, 43 of these attacks have caused physical violence to health teams.

“Gaza’s medical infrastructure has been irreparably damaged and healthcare providers are working in a dire situation with limited access to medical supplies and conditions that do not allow them to provide timely and quality healthcare,” said Tlaleng Mofokeng, the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to health.
