Quelza - The Diary Of Borea

114th Episode of the Unstable: Stable program pisode is carefully curated by the artist Tzu Ni, whose work delicately navigates the intersections of sound, space, and the human form.
---
Tzu Ni is a Taiwanese artist currently based in the Netherlands. She believes in the flexibility of human bodies and views the intersection of technology and humanity as a sweet spot, seeks the balance between institutional and non- institutional contexts. Her practice explores the entangled relationship between sound, gender, and space, often through multichannel sonic installations, field recordings, and text-based narratives that emerge from subconscious memory. Working at the intersection of embodied listening and spatial poetics, she constructs environments where sound becomes a medium of intimacy, resistance, and relational knowledge

Forged by warehouses and early morning dance floors, Moorhaus & Paul Gordon distill a sound that is murky, hypnotic, and channeled in the grit of the Midwest underground. As collaborators and the central figures behind Reciprocal Rhythm, their approach to DJing is less about genres and more about mood—pulling from the shadowy corners of house and techno to create deep, entrancing experiences that blur time and space.

In a special 3 hour mix for Research & Development, Matt & Paul dive deep into the sounds at the center of their dance floor experiences, built on rolling low-ends, tightly coiled rhythms, and squelching textures that nod to both the raw legacy of acid and the cerebral futurism of minimal. With a shared reverence for the dance floor’s potential for transcendental experiences, they channel the spirit of late-night Midwest sessions where strange voices, stripped-back drums, and slippery synths conspire to entrance the room.

This mix is a document of that shared language: a dive into the darker corners of their record bags, where tension simmers, grooves unfold slowly, and nothing is rushed. It’s music for dimly lit spaces and locked-in minds—a Midwest transmission shaped by passion, intention, and the long, strange hours between midnight and morning.

For RA.1000, DJ Sprinkles' first mix in over a decade is a powerful meditation on the genocide in Gaza.

Dance music often relies on simple narratives: release, escape, unity. But those narratives can often feel inadequate, and even at times, hollow. Or, as Terre Thaemlitz might bluntly put it, just "shitty."

For her first mix in around 15 years, Terre Thaemlitz AKA DJ Sprinkles, challenges us to think differently. "I felt this 1000th podcast should reflect the moment in which it was made," she told us in her Q&A.

And what is this moment? Every day since Israel's 2023 assault on Gaza began, an average of 28 children have been killed. That's an entire classroom, every day, for over 600 days (at the time of writing). It's a staggering figure that only captures a fragment of the listless cruelty imposed on the strip.

Faced with such a genocide, what can music really do? How political can it truly be?  For their RA.1000, Thaemlitz gives us an unflinching rebuke to the idea that music should provide escapism. The mix weaves ambient fragments and jazz passages, woven around samples from Israeli media and the voices of outspoken Jewish critics like Gabor Maté and Norman Finkelstein. 

The result is not just a protest, but a document of our time. For Terre Thaemlitz, music is never just music. Her RA.1000 serves as a reminder that in an age of relentless suffering, the most political act is to reject the illusion of escape, and search for something greater.

An electroacoustic etude exploring the concept of rhythm, made exclusively with Garageband Drum Machine Presets. Inspired heavily by the work of the New Complexity movement, especially the Percussion Solo Bone Alphabet by Brian Ferneyhough, Garageband Beat #54 is a multi-year dissection on beat-making. Composed initially as an inside joke during the composer's full-time summer job, this piece blurs the line between intentionality and a sincere lack of musical abilities. This work is also part of a series of sonic works that deal with sonic oversaturation and busy, complicated structures to externalize the composer's mind. Garageband Beat #54 raises the question: When do non-rhythms become polyrhythms? And when do those become heavily synchronized auditory gestures on a giant time scale that we call sonic phenomena? Are intensely choreographed polyrhythms just really a dubious excuse for the lack of time? How can we solve and work through complicated music in a way that makes sense? How do we process sound and rhythms that are seemingly fragmented, complicated, completely random, and sonically unreliable?
