Can't Get Enough

06. Super Flu - Jo Gurt

This track is about emergence from the combination of polar opposites. Fragments of self from very different places, but part of the same whole.

Combining classical and computational elements is something I've been experimenting with for some years, but this attempt to combine the extreme opposites of each was spurred on by some chance DJing experiments, a fortuitous collaboration opportunity, and the amazing work of my friends Olafur Arnalds and Vaetxh (Rob Clouth). I found that I could mix the most beautiful and delicate piano solo of Olafur, with the most hyper-edited and jarring glitch of Vaetxh, and that the result actually worked, well, for me anyway, even if half the people in the club stood confused about how to dance. So when the opportunity arose to work with the pianist and composer Tom Hodge, I wanted to try and create this form of merger of extremes for a release, rather than it being confined to my DJ toolbox (also on the classical meets glitch history from a slightly different angle, check out "Rossz Csillag Alatt Született" from Venetian Snares 2005!).

After some discussion of ideas and approach with Tom, he sat and played and made some recordings for me, which I then chopped and build chords and structure around, sent them back to him to play over the top of again, and then back to me to edit and glitch the playing along with the nasty noises. My detailing process was that of finding some interesting sound sources (binaural recordings, drum hit samples, clangs and slams etc) and using some Max for live randomisation chains to generate lots of partially random complexity which I could then edit as audio before repeating the process with additional layers, eventually bringing the recorded piano audio in to the editing too.

At completion of the audio I was really happy to find out that Nick Cobby, one of my favourite video artists and long standing collaborator, was available and interested in working on the visual side of the project. He took the combination of seemingly incompatible opposites, and applied it visually with his beautiful generative forms, smooth and organic for the melodic sections, and jagged and abrasive for the percussive sections - big thanks to Nick for his amazing work as always!

So, that's probably enough ranting about this track from me, aside from why it is like it is, I hope it's something that you can enjoy irrespective of the conceptual faff.

Lryics | The Revolution Will Not Be Instagrammed

This song is an inspiration from the original "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" 

You will not scroll your way to freedom
You will not double-tap your liberation
You will not binge the end of oppression
Between ads for whitening strips and weight-loss tea

The revolution will not be filtered
Will not be framed in perfect light
It will not pop up as a memory from last year
Or wait while you finish your oat milk latte
The revolution will not be swipeable
You will not save it for later

It’s not trending, it’s not sponsored
It’s not in the algorithm’s favor

The revolution will not be Instagrammed
It will not fit in your curated plan
It will not ask you for your email
Or wait for you to pick the right song
for your cute little reel

You will not find it in the comments
It will not be ratio’d, reposted, or remixed
It will not care about your follower count
The revolution is not in your bio
It’s in the streets, it’s in the eyes
It’s in the quiet rooms where truth still breathes

It’s not trending, it’s not sponsored
It’s not in the algorithm’s favor

The revolution will not be Instagrammed
It will not fit in your inbox spam
It will not ask you for your email
Or wait for you to pick the right song
for your perfect little reel

You will not like, comment, or share your way out
It will not be live-streamed with your ring light on
It will not look like activism in the movies
It will look like pages torn from Dear Mr. Orwell
Scattered in the wind, read in whispers and shouts
Baby you can't unring that bell

The revolution will not be Instagrammed
It will not ask you for your email
It doesn't need you to opt in
It doesn't need you to begin

The revolution will not be Instagrammed
The revolution will not be televised. It will not be ticketed.
There will be no selfie wall.
Just watching power crumble and fall.

The most recent track by "Tja" combines filthy basslines with a mad scientists oral outburst and reverb driven chords, sounding just like the perfect anthem for people who - every now and then - feel like praying to the moon.
