Sable is the solo electronic project of vocalist/producer Isobel Hambleton. Born in Manchester, Isobel's songwriting draws on the philosophical heritage of the skeptical, romantic post-punk bands of 1980s Northern England. This songwriting sparked a short-lived career as a pub folk singer. However, increasingly inspired by the lush electronic arrangements of artists such as Bon Iver, James Blake and, more recently, Grimes, Isobel began to teach herself electronic music production and relocated to Berlin. Combining a wide range of influences, her music is a reflection of a young woman trying to understand a complicated world.

Sable – Life Like This

We are joined by Frank B. Wilderson III to discuss 'Afropessimism' and the broader developments of his work. Interview by Dustin Breitling.

Afropessimism w/Frank B. Wilderson III(Updated)

Ascents is a composition / hypercomposition originally created during a residency program for the SAT - Society for Arts and Technology in Montréal in 2017/2018. Then named NAscent, it featured a film created for the work by visual artist Push 1 stop (Cadie Desbiens), and a 3-D audio mix realised in collaboration with Mourad Bennacer. The resulting immersive audio-visual work enjoyed a 3-week run in the Satosphère in February 2018, and was again shown during the iX Symposium at SAT in May 2018. In June of the same year it was also presented as part of the SAT's long films selection at Sonár+D, the 360º immersive part of the Sónar festival in Barcelona.

Ascents differs little from the original work, but 2 of the 9 sections of the original composition were slightly re-worked, incorporating additional layers that were not present originally, to reflect the intensity of the audio-visual impact. The stereo version does not try to mimic the 3-D audio mix, as that would simply be impossible to do, but rather focuses on the inherently immersive quality of the music, especially the hypercomposed parts, which can still be experienced when listened to on 2 channels. I recommend high quality speakers, or headphones, to get the maximum effect.

Ascents est une composition / hypercomposition qui a vu le jour durant
une résidence de création à la SAT - Société des Arts Technologiques à
Montréal, en 2017-2018. D'abord nommée NAscent, la pièce a été présentée
dans sa première version avec un film de l'artiste visuelle Push 1 stop
(Cadie Desbiens) et un mixage audio 3D réalisé en collaboration avec
Mourad Bennacer. Le résultat de cette collaboration, une œuvre immersive
audiovisuelle, a été diffusée à la Satosphère durant trois semaines en
février 2018, et a été à nouveau programmée à l'occasion du Symposium iX
de la SAT en mai 2018. En juin de la même année, NAscent a fait partie
de la sélection de longs métrages de la SAT présentés à Sonár+D, le
programme immersif 360° du festival Sónar, à Barcelone.

Ascents est assez fidèle à l'œuvre originale, mais deux des neuf
sections de la composition originale ont été légèrement retravaillées,
incorporant des couches sonores additionnelles qui n'étaient pas
présentes à l'origine, afin de refléter l'intensité de l'impact de la
version audiovisuelle. La version stéréo n'a pas pour but d'imiter le
mixage audio 3D, ce qui serait simplement impossible à réaliser, mais
vise plutôt à mettre en valeur la qualité immersive inhérente à la
musique, spécialement dans les parties hypercomposées. Cet effet
d'immersion peut encore être clairement perçu lorsque l'œuvre est
écoutée en stéréo. Je recommande une écoute aux haut-parleurs de qualité élevée, ou au casque, pour obtenir des résultats optimaux.

Paszka's new album 'Gluon' out not via Noumenal Loom! 

Digital - https://noumenalloom.bandcamp.com/album/paszka-gluon

'Gluon' feels like metadata management (or mismanagement) transcribed into music. Maximal electronic music with a keen focus on sampling, spatialization and timbre. It's at home alongside artists like Foodman, Yellow Magic Orchestra and Oval - straddling the line between saccharine pop and the experimental. Szymon is based out of Poland and also records as 1/2 of the duo @mukamukamuka

All songs composed by Szymon Sapalski
