Michael Speers - xtr'ctn (LP)*OUT NOW*

Format: Digital/Vinyl
Cat.No: CANVAS005
Release Date: 13th of September 2019

;
synthetic listening environments :: created with material extracted from field recordings and processed/arranged using software, alongside electronic signals from no-input feedback + test equipment.

most of the source material was generated at my place of work[as a technician]—whilst testing large amounts of audio equipment—capturing electronics’ internal behaviours + using very high levels of amplification on various small capsule microphones, connected to wireless transmitters placed in resonant vessels/spaces and materials of interest
;

Northern Irish, London based musician Michael Speers composes and performs music as a temporal and worldly extension of himself and the tools at his disposition. As a percussionist by training, Michael extends his contact and interplay with resonant objects through instrumentalised amplification and feedback, employing signal processing to articulate the almost tangible constitution of sonic material as structural, nearly cellular, microscopic entities. Following his integral presence in C.A.N.V.A.S. performance events since their inception and his recent participation in the Cipher compilation, xtr’ctn is released in September 2019 as a debut solo LP for both the artist and the label.

Dehumanised black metal screams, attributed to seagulls - specifically “recorded in Ramsgate, 06.2017”. It’s the inhuman that concerns us here, or our complex relationship with non-human entities and abstractions. Extracting is a process. By integrating recorded and found sound phenomena, treated as profane and material entities, Michael meticulously arranges sound objects into composition, upholding a fidelity to their emergent properties. Most of these objects become seemingly un-referential, although occasionally you arrive at a near-recognisable sound source or environment, disrupting the invitation towards a total loss of a sense of self.

This is fictional music - it is of and for a world that doesn’t exist. Although presenting sound with sincerity and integrity, without allusion to linear narrative, Michael's materialistic approach is transcended by the sensitivity of his composition. In a sense, it comes after both feeling and expression, as the subdued emotion of a person attempting to reach beyond their own affective limitations. It reaches out without ever really touching anything. Yet for all it’s clinical reduction, there are moments of unhindered emotion which strike harder for their arrival from such a seemingly nonhuman place.

“xtr’ctn” fails in reaching a point of immanent abstraction - a flatline horizon. It arrives instead at the outer brim of a sensory dam, where organic glitches from the extremities of our perception have spread - like sonic cataracts - intercepting the flow of our auditory awareness. In its state of fiction, “xtr’ctn” acts as a flag for the C.A.N.V.A.S. community, pitched as a marker of our enacted existence, weathered though unliving. To follow this signal to its depth is to accept the unknown - you only follow, knowing no alternative.

Thegn（セイン）はJoy（ジョイ）という魂が生きている人の体に憑依し、怒り、悲しみ、不安の感情を表出した実体です。
Thegnの体はカナダのバンクーバーで生まれ2010年代初頭にインダストリアルミュージックとノイズミュージックの制作を開始しました。 
作り出される音楽はインダストリアルとも分類されますが、クラブミュージックや実験的なサウンド、メタルなどの要素も取り入れられています。
Thegnの音楽の中核には、仲間、文化、環境が人間のアイデンティティ形成に生涯絶え間なく影響を与えるが、死後はそれ自体意味をなさないという、儚く攻撃的な悲しみが音を支配します。 厚みのあるディストーション、混沌としたリズム、痛みを伴うボーカルを組み合わせたThegnの音楽の圧倒的な重さは、テーマだけでなくサウンドからも聞こえます。
2019年9月13日に香港のAbsurd TRAXというレーベルで最初のLP「Loss」をリリースし、2020年の初めにAbsurd TRAXともにヨーロッパ各国を巡るツアーを行い、ベルリンのBerghain（ベルグハイン）ではDis Figをゲストとして迎え、共作である「I Heard Your Voice」を演奏しました。

ライブパフォーマンスとして、観客と感情的につながるために、Thegnは音楽を即興で演奏し、観客を巻き込んでステージを作り上げます。包帯、黒い液体、カルトのような儀式、死者との接触、モシュピットは、Thegnの定番です。特徴的な悲鳴、奇妙なビジュアル、ヘビーな音、不気味なサンプルなどが含まれているため、心の準備をしておいてください。


Thegn is a non-identity. An entity by the name of Joy portraying the base emotions of the human experience in impassioned form, namely: rage, anxiety, and sadness. Thegn's host body was born in Vancouver, Canada, and began making industrial and noise music in the early 2010s. As their musical and artistic interests developed, so did their ambition of what industrial and dance music could sound like. At the core of their music exist themes of the effects our peers, culture, and environment have on the constant, lifelong negotiation of identity, and above all that an unending and aggressive sadness dominates the sound. Combining thick distortion, chaotic rhythms, and pained vocals, the overwhelming heaviness of Thegn's music is heard not only in the themes but in the sound itself. They released their first LP, 'Loss', on Hong Kong's Absurd TRAX on September 13th, 2019, and toured with Absurd TRAX through Europe in early 2020, including a mentally reconstructive performance featuring collaborator Dis Fig at CTM, in Berghain Säule.
As a live performance, Thegn prefers to improvise much of their set and play entirely new, unrecorded material created specifically for the event, connecting with the audience and going along for the ride with them. As well, the physical performance and audience interaction aspect is improvised: bandages, black ooze, cult-like rituals, contacting the dead, and moshpits are regular staples of at a Thegn performance. While the sound of the live set is geared towards the rave dancefloor much more than their recorded material, there is no absence of the signature screams, bizarre visual components, heavy instrumentation, and warped samples, all of this making the experience unsuitable for the faint of heart.
