Carlotta Jacobi (Connwax / Feat.Fem) ist Produzentin, Techno DJ und eine der Kuratorinnen des Feat.Fem Podcasts. Ihr Podcast spiegelt die Sehnsucht nach einem losgelösten Moment auf dem Dancefloor wider.

Feat.Fem: Wie bist du zum Auflegen und Produzieren gekommen?

Carlotta Jacobi: Ich habe mich schon als Kind sehr für Musik interessiert und durfte Klavier- und Gesangsunterricht nehmen. Als Jugendliche kam dann das Interesse für Clubkultur hinzu. Obwohl das Schreiben eigener Musik für mich immer wichtiger wurde, kam ich zunächst nicht auf die Idee, selbst elektronische Musik zu produzieren oder aufzulegen - vermutlich weil diese Rollen in meinem Umfeld überwiegend (cis-)männlich besetzt waren. Erst über den Umweg des Radiomachens habe ich gemerkt, wie viel Spaß mir Audioschnitt macht und dass der Schritt zum Musikproduzieren doch eigentlich nicht so groß sein kann. 2014 habe ich mir dann erst Logic und später Ableton sowie meinen ersten Hardware Synth gekauft und mit dem Produzieren angefangen. Damals wäre es sehr hilfreich gewesen, eine Gruppe wie die FLINTA*-Ableton User Group zu haben, um mich mit anderen über Produktionsfragen auszutauschen. 2017 hat mich dann eine Freundin gefragt, ob ich nicht auch auflegen möchte und mir meinen ersten Gig verschafft. Seither treten Produzieren und Auflegen in eine aus meiner Sicht sehr produktive Wechselwirkung.

Wie sieht eine Digging und/oder Producing Session bei dir aus?

Wie meine Producing Sessions aussehen hängt von meiner Stimmung ab und ob ich inspiriert bin - oder nicht. Wenn ich bereits eine ästhetische Vorstellung oder Idee im Kopf habe, fange ich meistens damit an, mithilfe einer Kickdrum eine Art "rhythmisches Bett“ für den Track zu bauen. Dann entscheide ich mich für einen meiner Hardware Synths und gehe auf die Suche nach einem Sound der zu der Stimmung passt, die ich mir vorstelle. Am liebsten mag ich es, wenn sich meine ursprüngliche Idee in diesem explorativen Modus weiter entwickelt und verfremdet. Um diesen Main Synth herum wächst dann meistens der Rest, etwa ein zweiter Synth, Percussion etc.. Mithilfe von Effekten bearbeite ich die Elemente dann noch weiter. Das Hin und Her zwischen Ableton und Hardware macht mir dabei besonders Spaß. 
Wenn ich mal weniger inspiriert bin, finde ich es hilfreich, mir sehr genau ausgesuchte Produktionen anderer anzuhören, die Tracks zu analysieren und mir zu überlegen, wie einzelne Elemente entstanden sein könnten. Das bringt mich dann meistens auf neue Ideen. 
Was das Digging nach neuer Musik betrifft habe ich relativ klare Vorstellungen welche Soundästhetik mir gefällt und durchkämme verschiedene Plattformen danach. 
 
Feat.Fem: Hattest du einen bestimmten Gedanken oder eine bestimmte Stimmung im Kopf, als du deinen Mix aufgenommen hast?

Carlotta Jacobi: Der Mix ist recht feurig geworden, da ich darin Musik spiele, die ich eigentlich für Clubkontexte vorgesehen hatte (und aufgrund der Corona-Lage keine Gelegenheit dazu habe). Es hat mir unter den Nägeln gebrannt, diese Musik trotzdem zu spielen und damit eine Stimmung nach Hause zu transportieren: Sie spiegelt meine Sehnsucht nach einem losgelösten Moment auf dem Dancefloor wider. Außerdem enthält der Mix zwei Tracks von mir, die im kommenden Jahr auf meiner Debut EP erscheinen werden. 

Feat.Fem: Wenn du ein anderes Genre produzieren und/oder auflegen würdest, welches wäre das?

Carlotta Jacobi: Ich habe im letzten Sommer für ein Projekt des LOFFT Theaters einen Soundtrack produziert. Daran würde ich gerne anknüpfen und habe große Lust, weitere musikalische Projekte in einem experimentellen und künstlerischen Rahmen umzusetzen. Ich würde zum Beispiel gerne mal den Sound für eine Installation produzieren.

The days are getting shorter while the nights are getting longer. The desire to be on the dancefloor gets bigger and bigger so it’s time to pull out the big guns and fulfill our needs.

The Amsterdam based JAIPA, resident of our good friends at Orphic, is the perfect artist to bring us to this state of mind. He provided us with an immense three-hour journey about which he had the following to say:

‘The idea behind this set is to take the listener through my ideal club night from beginning to end. For this, I pulled inspiration from my own experiences from the past that stayed with me to date.’

This set breaths authenticity and it’s impressive to hear how he manages to capture all the different moments and express them by using the right dynamics. Take your time and enjoy this three-hour journey for Embodiment Salon’s 14th podcast.
