Ultrafog ~ Correspondence Nº 45

Praise brother moon, praise sister sun, and praise the radio of things. Always, everything is on the go In every corner, atoms are supplied and ever flit. Our bats have settled in the tree and are singing a lullaby. Their shrill vibrating voices are jostling microscopic particles of mist, so the night around us starts to jingle, summoning all the creatures to nocturnal worship.

With love and thanks to Ugne Uma.

dummy tree - no dream long weekend

02. A Wrestler's Prayer
03. Room of Ladders 

Digital + Limited 'Clamshell' CD
@yunzero + @josephbuchan + @bdyclock

Absorb presents the debut EP by 'dummy tree', the interlocked, ambient strong of Melbourne's Jim Sellars (Yunzero), Jordan Obarzanek (Body Clock, OBA, Cloud Ice 9), and Joseph Buchan (Other Joe).

Three improvisational live cuts form the super-group’s first release, all pinched from their dovetailed performance at the ABSORBED festival in 2024. It was 4:30pm, they were backlit by the afternoon sun. Through these longform recordings, each member of dummy tree can be heard intimately, testing dynamics in turn and introducing surprising amounts of drama. There are guitars, both acoustic and electric, competing with synthesisers and woodwind instruments that build from a murmur into whole walls of sound. The drowsy atmospherics are akin to early Seefeel or Windy & Carl, although careful listeners will also pick up crumbs that trace back to the extensive catalogue of works made by Sellars, Obarzanek and Buchan individually.

You'll find the music of dummy tree to be more disarming than any of the aforementioned, a special project that is worth celebrating in its infancy, and to watch out for while it grows.

'Blues Alif Lam Mim' is available at https://blankforms.org/publication/chorassan-time-court-mirage-blues-alif-lam-mim-2xlp/

Having already unearthed three collections of archival ‘70s recordings by Catherine Christer Hennix, Blank Forms continues our annual illumination of the visionary Swedish composer’s music by turning to more recent work with this first-time vinyl edition of Hennix’s “Blues Alif Lam Mim in the Mode of Rag Infinity/Rag Cosmosis,” a 2014 piece first released as a CD in 2016.

The double album captures the April 22, 2014 premiere of Hennix's composition by the Chora(s)san Time-Court Mirage, her expanded just intonation ensemble, featuring a brass section of Amir ElSaffar, Paul Schwingenschlögl, Hilary Jeffery, Elena Kakaliagou, and Robin Hayward; live electronics by Stefan Tiedje and Marcus Pal; and voice by Amirtha Kidambi, Imam Ahmet Muhsin Tüzer, and Hennix herself. Intended to reveal the blues’ origins in the eastern musical traditions of raga and makam, “Blues Alif Lam Mim in the Mode of Rag Infinity/Rag Cosmosis” has its roots in Hennix’s 2013 realization of an “Illuminatory Sound Environment,” a concept developed in 1978 by anti-artist Henry Flynt on the basis of Hennix’s own “The Electric Harpsichord.”

As Hennix explains in Other Matters, Blank Forms’ 2019 collection of her writings:

“Rag Infinity/Rag Cosmosis presents fragments of 'raga-like’ frequency constellations following distinct cycles and permuting their order, creating a simultaneity of ‘multi-universes.’ When two such ‘universes’ come in proximity of each other and begin unfolding simultaneously along distinct cycles, there is a kaleidoscopic exfoliation of frequencies as one universe is becoming two, but not separated—the effect of cosmosis is entrained, binding two or more frequency universes into proximity where their modal properties interact and blend, creating in the process entirely new microtonal constellations in an omnidirectional simultaneous cosmic order with phenomenologically ‘transfinite’ Poincaré cycles (cyclic returns to initial conditions).”

As with Hennix’s best work, the organic unfolding of this quivering drone belies a precision that opens onto the infinitesimal. Upon its mesmerizing ebb and flow, the vocalists incant a devotional poem written in Arabic by Hennix and featuring quotations from the Quran. Also reproduced on the album’s gatefold jacket, Hennix’s reduction of the sacred text to its most elegant formulation invites the contemplator to bring their inner knowledge to the composition for use as a prompt for meditation. Yet the piece offers depth to even the most secular listener willing to immerse themselves in music brimming with such serene intensity.
