Bliz Nochi & Marisa Lia - MS Dockville 2024

(story continued from Witchtape #175)

After witnessing a glorious sunrise in the holy forest of the Jinsha River, Yǎqín (the protectress of this forest) invited her guests Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the 10-year-old witch apprentice) for the breakfast ceremony. It was a very serene event and the girls listened in silence to the vivacious songs of the birds, while sipping their warm cups of spice tea. 
After the ceremony, Yǎqín looked through the western window of her bamboo hut and saw a murmuration of swallows huddling together in a pine tree. It was already the middle of the month of guìyuè and autumn was about to start. The swallows were about to take off and fly southwards for their annual migration. 
The Flemish witches sensed it was time to return home, and gave a goodbye hug to Yǎqín after which they took to the skies. After a last wave to Yǎqín, they noticed they were in the middle of a swoop of swallows, and the witches decided to follow these friendly birds. They followed the mighty Jinsha River in Southern direction in a narrow valley in between 2 ranges of towering green mountains. At times the brown water of the river was very wild and the girls could hear the roaring sound of the torrents.
After a whole day of flying, the swallows decided it was time to look for a place to spend the night. They touched down in a forest on the steep slopes of the valley. To their surprise, the witches saw a teenage boy in a clearing.
He introduced himself as Qiang. Like everybody in Zhōngguó, he was very deferent and hospitable for his guests. He apologized (at least nine times) for the sorry state of this forest, which was just a piece of wild nature, despite being one of the 8 holy forests of Zhōngguó. He explained that only a witch can bring order and geometry in these holy forests, and that he’s just a caretaker of this special place until a new witch arrives. From his shiny skin and stately demeanor, it was  clear that Qiang was a wizard. He proudly showed the bamboo pavilion which he had patiently built according to the feng shui principles for the future witch. The forest was lush and green and bustling with wildlife… a true garden of Eden where the boy spent his time all alone, waiting for the witch to come (which could be a matter of days … or years.
Qiang showed his guests around the woods, when a gale-force wind suddenly engulfed the whole forest, making the trees weave dangerously and making thousands of leaves fly around. When the wind abated, they saw a bright sparkling light descending from the sky. All the birds stopped singing and an eerie atmosphere descended upon the forest. When they opened their eyes, they saw a teenage girl in an elegant hanfu dress, with a little dragon on her shoulder. Her skin was pale and shiny, and here black eyes were absolutely hypnotic.
She introduced herself as Fang, the new witch of this holy forest. Qiang greeted her with deference. Despite his reservation, this was by far the happiest day of his life. He showed her the bamboo pavilion which he had patiently built for her over the last 24 months. She was very impressed … and couldn’t keep her eyes off of the young wizard.
Meanwhile, word had spread in the whole forest and all animals and birds were overjoyed when they heard that the witch (and her companion dragon) had finally arrived in this holy realm …

Witchtape #176 | Guest Wizz : Knabber Hans

After staying for over a week in the ancestral village of Ishola (Hekske’s lover) on the misty slopes of the Rwenzori Mountains, the witches kissed goodbye to their friendly hosts and continued their flight southwards, following their inner compass. Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the 10-year old witch apprentice) flew over a wide variety of breathtaking landscapes, like the Okavango delta and the thundering Victoria Falls (Mosi-oa-Tunya).
While flying southwards, they noticed that the temperatures were getting milder. After a long flight, they saw a long mountain range in the distance (which they didn’t want to cross on the same day). At the foot of the mountain range, they spotted an idyllic green valley with a little river. And next to the river they spotted a woman with long brown hair in a long white dress. Instinctively they knew she was a witch. Without hesitation, Hekske and Falke started to descend and a few moments later they touched down gently next to the woman, who gave them a warm welcome hug. Surprisingly, her skin was white, which the girls didn’t expect on the African continent. And to their great surprise, she greeted their guests in Dutch (which is the mother tongue of the Hekske and Falke). Or at least, is was some kind of funny and cheerful variant of the Dutch language. 
The woman introduced herself as Ineke, and she had fled from Flanders some 3 centuries ago, escaping persecution. And today was the very first time in 300 years that she met with other Flemish witches. It was such a beautiful moment, and the witches cried tears of joy.
A little later, Ineke showed her guests around the woods and plains of the Highveld plateau. The European witches were surprised to see that flowers were blooming everywhere and birds were singing their most beautiful song. This really felt like spring, which was quite amazing given the fact that it was the day of the autumn equinox.
Ineke explained that spring was starting just now on this side of the globe, and that the equinox of September is actually the spring equinox. Meanwhile the soft light of the setting sun was reflecting on the nearby mountain range (which was named the Magaliesberg mountains), making the rocks light up in a myriad of different pastel colors. 
This was the most special evening of the year, as it was not only the equinox, but also a full moon, and even a supermoon and partial lunar eclipse. Ineke took their guests to a little nearby lake, from which they had an excellent view of the rising moon. It was a truly breathtaking spectacle, with the moon surface changing colors continuously. Also the reflection of the soft moonlight on the surface of the mirror lake was truly mesmerizing. Unfortunately this lunar spectacle was interrupted when some clouds drifted by and covered the moon. Strangely, there could still see the reflection of the moon on the surface of the lake, which is actually impossible. The witches sensed that this was no ordinary event. They simultaneously slipped out of their white dresses and wated into the cold water, until it became too deep and they started to swim. They couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw a glowing orb under the water in the distance. They decided to swim towards this light, which became more and more intense as they approached it. And when they saw what it was, they couldn’t believe their eyes. This would be the start of an epic night, full of ecstatic dancing and mystic singing. A night which seemed to last for weeks …

Witchtape #177 | Guest Wizz : Blue Lola

"Die Welt scheint manchmal verrückt zu sein - wir können uns in all dem Wahnsinn verlieren, ja. Aber wir neigen dazu zu vergessen, dass das nur eine Oberfläche ist. Wir verwechseln das Wetter mit dem Himmel und die Wellen mit dem Ozean. Aber darunter liegt ein Raum, der nicht von den sich ständig verändernden 10.000 Dingen beeinflusst wird, unvergänglich und ewig. Deshalb ist es von Zeit zu Zeit notwendig, in einen Heiß-Luftballon zu steigen und hinaufzufliegen, nur um einen Blick auf die eigentliche Realität zu erhaschen. Das hilft, die Illusion von Maya zu durchschauen, um wieder Hoffnung oder noch besser das Vertrauen zu schöpfen - trotz all des Chaos.

Wie der Psychologe Erich Fromm in der Einleitung sagt: „Ich würde nicht auf eine gute Chance wetten, aber ich bin nicht hoffnungslos. Ich glaube, dass schon biologisch gesehen im Menschen eine Tendenz liegt, sein Leben nicht nur als Einzelner, sondern auch als Gattung zu erhalten. Und erhalten kann man das Leben nur, wenn man es entwickelt, wenn man ein Interesse hat, ja, ich glaube, man kann auch sagen, im weitesten Sinne, wenn man die Welt liebt. Und ich kann an dieser Stelle die Hoffnung nicht aufgeben“.

So lade ich dich ein zu einem Flug durch Turbulenzen in höhere Höhen, durch Wolken und Stürme, Tag und Nacht, jetzt, hier öffne deine Augen, schau nicht weg."

Venue: gART.n / Berlin, Germany 

+++ Interview +++

✔️What are your musical influences? What is your musical background?

I grew up in Paris suburb and it had an impact on my early influences, as I grew up listening mostly to reggae and to french hip hop. These were all my first concerts and ‘in-repeat’ albums, with artists like Lunatic, Salif, Steel pulse or Groundation.
My first closer connection to club music was then with the electronica and minimal house scene in Paris with artists like RPR Soundsystem, Cabanne, Bonobo or Traumprinz . Only later around 2015 I discovered the slower and deeper Berlin sound with firstly artists like Mira, Chris, and then Wide awake or Arutani.
Those are few of my influences throughout the years and artists that have inspired me and had a big impact on the music I am doing now. 

✔️ What makes good “afterhour”?

After hours can have a very unique energy, some sort of magic in the air, a shared energy of kindness and sensitivity. 
At this time, I feel that music becomes an even more important element of the party. People are more open to feel, and to connect deeper with the music.   
It can also be an invitation for the DJ to play a more mental and elegant selection, music with more soul and surprises. 

✔️ Do you have any thoughts you would like to share about your set?

This is a set I played at a label showcase with Crépite., a beautiful summer afternoon at a great outdoor location in East Berlin, the gART.n. 
When I play in a Crépite. showcase, I tend to select music that also represents well the sound from the label as I feel it is important that our signature sound is represented in those events, and that we are the first ambassador. 
This set represents well the brighter side of the Crépite. sound somewhere between elegance, minimalism, deepness and obviously crackling textures :) 
A lot of my favorite tracks of the last few months. 
The set also contains loads of my own field recording samples, which is the direction my DJ sets are taking, an organic hybrid direction with field recordings from nature.
