autoparty: Koyil ∞ live (07.03.2021)

JUNGLE GYM RECORDS presents "Painted Rock", official label debut of L.A. underground stalwart Skjell (Stephen Lee Clark). In the dense mountain wind spirits swirl through canyon walls, high above the whitewater percussives that tumble below... with the passing of time, all things man-made must return to the earth, each cycle repeated until indistinguishable from the last. "Painted Rock" lies here, between echos... exclusively from JUNGLE GYM.

[JGT67] "Entrainment Run" - Painted Rock - Skjell

The album “Ceiling Inferno.” Produced by Panagiotis Mina of Pyrgatory Studio, and based on the poetry collection “Marvelous Ceiling Inferno” by Christos Kyriakides, the album includes features by Maria Spivak, Veronica Georgiou, Tasos Lamnisos (x.ypno), and Anastasia Dolitsai (Uvglov). For its cover art, it uses documentation of Marina Xenofontos’ painting “Ceiling Inferno.” A film, also made by Xenofontos, doubles as the video-clip for the album’s first track.

Kyriakides’ collection of thirteen off-kilter poems recount his peace-making with death. The points of contact folded together in these poems are auditory, sensual, touch-felt, and intimate. Several of them trail an upbringing and coming of age set in the sidelines of sulen schools and strict parades. Transgressions abound in their verses, but are held tenderly enough to release them from their abjection. Placed on top of the collection, a silver figure of a mask sticks its tongue out: a three-way gesture of contempt, provocation, and conciliation; a calm anticipation of charon’s final obol.

Each of the album’s eight tracks takes its title directly from one of the book’s thirteen poems. Five of the tracks’ vocals reproduce the poem’s verses whole either lyricising them or obscuring them with the use of language games, techniques taken from concrete poetry, and improvisation. For the production, Mina collaborated with Cypriot musicians of differing disciplines, bringing together various styles of beatmaking and composition while also embedding his own influences from drone and noise. The album both calls back to and disperses the original, putting down Mina’s and his collaborators’ interpretations of what they read as latent in the book.

Xenofontos’ painting “Ceiling Inferno” has been hung and photographed. Its documentation is printed as the album’s cover art. Its setting: a castle ablaze, hammer, nails, ladder, and pair of heels without owner, sketch out the tone of the release. The scene can be seen as long forlorn, but also traces a recent evacuation—the intentions of an arsonist. For her film, also titled “Ceiling Inferno”, this scene is restaged and animated; the intensity of the blaze redoubled.

Catherine Danger is a sound and visual artist based in Brussels. In her practice, she experiments with a multitude of textures that are designed to be altered or modified. For the 50th occurrence of our mix series she presents an hour of beautifuly compiled abstract sounds. Catherine is no stranger to the realms of experimental and obscure, with a distinguished sound and out of the ordinary tape releases on underground outputs such as Simple Music Experience. Another milestone worth mentioning is her audiovisual label 2files4free, that was launched in 2018 with Daya Hallé, a label focused on the combination of sound and visual production, through a multiplicity of artists, hybrid projects and experiments.

This double A-sider is the fruit of a long gestating collaboration with fellow Malmö-based record collector/selector & producer Simon alias Rizzolo DJ (alias Moisture). Closely intertwined with the label in various ways since the start, his path to producing started with re-edits and a more wild-haired approach to deejaying, finally landing into his own groove with the 2018 album A Freak Is Born. Released as a privately pressed cassette, the album featured two tracks co-produced with Fasaan founder Prins Emanuel. 

On that first album, the palette was a lo-fi reverie of minimal waves crashing into depths of goth and heights of camp. Here for the 12” format, we instead get the full onslaught of power tools gleaming in the blast of strobe lights. The weight of GAMMUT unfolds and delivers exactly what the title suggests: a complete scope of percussive barrage unleashed in tight locked grooves and smattering reverberations. In addition to that, we are treated with a spine-tingling re-imagining of the concept of a bass drop. 

For ORGONE, a 1984 track by Norwegian group Fra Lippo Lippi serves as the backbone of the composition. Championed by cosmic DJ Daniele Baldelli and here pitched down to wrongspeeder tempo, Moisture uses the original song to bridge the gap between his roots in the re-edit scene as well as in the cosmic tradition. Thedry  mechanical bassline is flanked by hollow percussion that eventually propels into a crystal-chimmering microcosm of orgone energy.

Vladislav Delay - Rakka
Format: LP/DGTL
Cat.No. CR11
Pre-order: bit.ly/35ZwaBQ

It’s been 5 years since “VISA”, Sasu Ripatti’s latest release under his iconic Vladislav Delay moniker. Time of the study, of exploration and reconstruction, a time in which his sound, his methods, and practice have never ceased to evolve. It is now time for a new release which he titled Rakka, and it only makes sense for it to find a home on Cosmo Rhythmatic.

Ripatti makes it very clear that Rakka is not a ‘nature recording’, though it is inspired by the time he spent in the wilderness above arctic circle and tree lines, and the feelings and thoughts that traversed him while there. The music on the album is thus directly inspired by the arctic tundra: the elemental struggle to survive or thrive, the living creatures’ fight for existence. The raw, undefined, uncontrolled and uncorrupted power that exists within it.

Ripatti remakes these values into music, in monumental yet humble forms. Reductionist though not minimal, setting each part to prove its meaning, stripped from the meaninglessness of hooks and melodies. Sounds feel like carved off the flesh, leaving the bones bare. Beats emerge as ripples, as the motion of isolated forces, thwarting with the icy textures and backgrounds and trembling with strenuous energy.

A truly extreme ecosystem of sound, unleashed in the album as much as in the new Vladislav Delay live set, visually given life by Ripatti’s wife, artist Antye Greie-Ripatti (AGF).
