drendiela presents the mix #00 of the series 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘥𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 as Julia with a challenging set that traverses various genres of electronic music while gradually shifting from 60 to 170 BPM.

Disperse time, roam lines of flight, unleash desire, weave memories, modulate archives, circulate data, dissipate fatalism, enter labyrinths.

Among the inspirations for creating the series, which aims to incorporate mixtapes from various artists, is the concept of "acoustemology" developed by Steven Feld. Here, sound is explored as an experiential nexus, where the act of sounding is simultaneously social and material. Acoustemology combines acoustics and epistemology to investigate the practices of sounding and listening as forms of knowledge in action – a knowing-with and a knowing-through the audible.

The logical connection of acoustemology with relational ontology is existential relationality, the connectivity of being, constructed from intertwined experience. This perspective sees sound and the act of sounding as "situational," exploring the "mutual" and "ecological" space of sonic knowledge as "polyphonic," "dialogical," and "unfinalizable."

According to Feld, the aim is to investigate knowledge and sound, paying special attention to the reflexive correlation between sounding and listening. This knowledge is always experiential, contextual, fallible, mutable, contingent, emergent, timely, subjective, constructed, and selective. Knowing through relationships means that, instead of simply "acquiring" knowledge, the subject comes to know through a continuous, cumulative, and interactive process of participation and reflection, shaped by direct perception, memory, deduction, transmission, or problem-solving.

drendiela apresenta o mix #00 como Julia da série 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘥𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 com um set desafiador que percorre diversos gêneros da música eletrônica enquanto transita lentamente de 60 a 170 BPM.

Dispersar o tempo, percorrer linhas de fuga, dar vazão ao desejo, tecer memórias, modular arquivos, circular dados, dissipar o fatalismo, adentrar labirintos.

Dentre as inspirações para criar a série cujo propósito é acoplar mixtapes de diversos artistas, se encontra o conceito "acustemologia" desenvolvido por Steven Feld; – aqui o som é explorado como um nexo experiencial, onde o ato de soar é simultaneamente social e material. A acustemologia combina acústica e epistemologia para investigar as práticas de soar e escutar como formas de conhecimento em ação – um saber-com e um saber-através do audível.

A conexão lógica da acustemologia com a ontologia relacional é a relacionalidade existencial, a conectividade do ser, construída a partir da experiência entrelaçada. Esta perspectiva vê o som e o ato de soar como "situacionais", explorando o espaço "mútuo" e "ecológico" do saber sônico como "polifônico", "dialógico" e "infinalizável".

Segundo Feld, o objetivo é investigar o conhecimento e o som, prestando especial atenção à correlação reflexiva entre soar e escutar. Este saber é sempre experiencial, contextual, falível, mutável, contingente, emergente, oportuno, subjetivo, construído e seletivo. Conhecer através de relações significa que, ao invés de simplesmente "adquirir" conhecimento, o sujeito passa a conhecer através de um processo contínuo, cumulativo e interativo de participação e reflexão, moldado por percepção direta, memória, dedução, transmissão ou resolução de problemas.

collecting in another dimension 𝙢𝙞𝙭 #00

drendiela is the name and concept that DJ, visual artist, and anthropologist Julia Mota adopted in 2016, after crossing paths with a magical Colombian traveler and illusionist. When the magician asked her name, she responded with another question: "What name do you think I have?" The answer was "drendiela," followed by a story about its meaning.

In essence, drendiela represents an imagistic person who transits between worlds, a time traveler who crosses binary divisions, moving through the past, present, and future. Since that singular encounter, Julia has been bringing this character to life, adding new layers of meaning. Julia merges with drendiela when she signs her artistic creations with this name.

For Julia, a native of Paracatu (tupi-guarani name that means ‘good river’), a city in Minas Gerais that hosts one of the largest open-pit gold mines in the world, and living in Brasília, the capital of Brasil, an "idealized city”, since the age of seven, drendiela symbolizes a dream, a utopia, an unfinished code, a disruption, and decentralization. It is a continuous experiment whose purpose is to expand our capacities to imagine other possible worlds, other lines and curves, narratives, textures, sensations and techniques; – to unite the improbable, dig into the concrete to reach the subjective.
