This takes my migraines away. Thank you so  much!

“In the closed circuit screen glow with the hand scripting the events of two people staring from a long distance for a matter of moments that seemed endless, vast, the pen takes to paper and senses apprehension in the author. Leaving things out from the self, the self knows the truth is well-guarded, security and a large key ring with one thumb-drive filled with secrets carefully placed beneath a granite prism, buried in brain cells and matter. Everything left unsaid is sacred and that sacrament is gold-leafed and stoic, crackling voicemail recording leaves out details, nearly telegrammed, a post-it’s worth of vital information. We keep secrets to ourselves so tightly that we hide the secret from the self. Speak the truth, the closed circuit surveillance will manage the details.”

𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 was born in 2022 during a SHAPE+ and Nextones artistic residency in Valdossola, Italy, centered around BABAU's nomination as SHAPE+ artists 2022/23. Initially conceived as a tutorial and tongue-in-cheek artistic text conceived by Babau, 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 was built with a playful approach to music theory exploring the audio, listening and improvisation research of scholars and musicians such as Pauline Oliveros, Micah Silver, Jace Clayton and Jem Finer. These speculations were combined with lighthearted inputs from video game habits and Zen philosophy teachings elaborating a practice of improvisation and composition which sees musical interaction as: 

𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘫𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘴, 𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥/𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘯𝘶𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴. 𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘤 𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴. 𝘖𝘧 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘰, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵, 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴. 

From this residency week of interaction with musician Bienoise (Alberto Ricca) and fashion designer/artist Flora Rabitti (Atelier Florania) and a year of further development, the artists have crafted two long tracks in which they mixed computer music techniques with electroacoustic improvisation and sound manipulations which engage with these ideas. 

Influenced by the approaches of computer music pioneers such as David Behrman, Carl Stone and John Bischoff, 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 #1 & #2 were composed starting from two canons written by means of electronic arpeggios that were later expanded thanks to MaxMSP sound extraction patches. The patches took a portion of the initial audio, generating longer and longer sound patterns. From this initial unpredictable structure, the musicians have included further improvised overdubs including wind instruments (alto saxophone and toleat), field recordings, and additional synth lines. 

The result is an immersive two-piece work in which the architectures of the composition change continuously at a slow, unpredictable pace.

London born and based DJ, Producer, PAN and PTP affiliate Flora Yin-Wong jumps in for episode 8 with "Flower over the Stone" a 30 minute sound collage loosely based around the idea of dreams and Akira Kurosawa’s '夢 Yume'.

Flora draws together samples, field recordings, re-pitched vocals and various electro-acoustic sounds to move through several vignettes and themes that the film addresses: Universal disasters, death, spirituality, childhood, art, and man's mistakes regarding the world. 

"Flower over the Stone" combines beat driven experimental, liturgic ambient and fourth world, scratchy samples and auto-tuned R&B style vox highlights to make for a diverse, filmic soundscape.

# 8 Flora Yin-Wong - Flower over the Stone

Okay Vivian is the project of Turkish singer/producer Pervin Güzeldere. Shifting through experimental minimalist compositions to catchy pop elements; her music combines ethereal silent spaces with heavy beats, scattered vocals, breaths and whispers.


Since 2018 she has released two singles, a 7” vinyl and an EP, on labels such as Table Records (Ankara), No Exist (Montreal), Euphonic Recordings (Paris) and IA (Warsaw). Performed in Ankara, İstanbul and Berlin with her live A/V performance ‘Wildflowers That Cannot Move But Can Bend And Twist’.

About the mix:
I’ve been feeling the need to be more devoted in the way I listen and internalize music. So for this mix, I picked only one track by Tomoko Sauvage and let it wash over me.
I made an entirely new piece that draws from her angelic, fluid sound; designed to slow down the listeners thoughts as much as possible.

“The ebb and flow of this water, it's sound continuous but also marked by motions that ceaselessly patterned my ear and my eyes, supplemented my own emotion, calmed now by reverie, so that I felt in myself, so pleasurably and effortlessly, the sensation of existing without troubling to think.”
