Polish artist Martyna Basta presents Making Eye Contact With Solitude, a suite of intimate, diaristic ambient pieces assembled over the past several months. Created using almost exclusively field recordings and her voice (alongside violin, zither and harpsichord), this collection meditates on domesticity, loneliness, repetitiveness, stubborn patterns of isolated minds and the sonic mysteries all around us. There’s a real gentleness to these spontaneous and confessional improvisations, despite that fact that making them was a way of “making peace with myself and the reality around me” for the Kraków-based artist. The artwork created by costume designer, sculptor and illustrator Julita Goździk and track titles also allude to an interest in rituality, repetitiveness and the cyclical nature of our existence.

Constant listening, instinct and intuition are key to Martyna Basta’s practice. Having studied classical guitar for many years as a child, Basta now focuses her energies on more abstract forms of art as a photographer, musician, member of the PROGREFONIK collective and Radio Kapitał resident. Making Eye Contact With Solitude follows a string of shorter self-releases and is her label debut, and a wonderful introduction to her back-catalogue for many. Slotting in somewhere between the vocal mantras of Cucina Povera, the emotional immediacy of Claire Rousay’s recordings and the carefully crafted sonic environs of Félicia Atkinson, Martyna Basta is carving out a unique corner of the ambient world for herself.

Making Eye Contact With Solitude

Martyna Basta – Awakening

y yo escucho solo la lluvia 
y solo la lluvia que me entienda 
y tu flor siempre calla en la noche 
y tu flor siempre se cierra en el dìa 
y el aqua me esta mirando 
y el aqua me esta arrastrando 
y tu alma se vuelve en esfera 
y tu mente crece en un circulo 
y al alba yo me convierto en mujer 
y al ocaso me convierto en hombre 
y tu y yo con las manos atadas 
y tu y yo con los ojos perforados 
y la lluvia cae en mi cabeza 
y la lluvia cae en mi cama 
y tus palabras son un cubo 
y tus ideas son cuadrados 
y tu y yo entre los atomos 
y tu y yo en el centro del espejo 
y yo escucho solo al nino 
y yo entiendo solo a la nina 
y el cuarto desaparece 
y la fuente sigue sigue fluyendo 
y ves el oro de la primavera 
y miras el ojo del pajarito 
y yo escucho solo la lluvia 
y solo la lluvia que me entienda 
y yo arribo en aquel monte  
donde se quedan las pesadillas  
de la nina que esta durmiendo

Berlin-based duo Workforce is the caustic love-child of Víctor Hidalgo and Josey Heyes - a sardonic collaborative powerhouse. Extending from their catwalk aesthetics and performative-based roots, “The Flood” sees Workforce at their peak musicality to date. Combining harsh and cutting electronics with a sense of twisted dystopian glamour, the duo’s second release sees the project pronounce its acid-tongued lyricism and esotericism with a biting wit. A brilliantly executed, blood spattered canvas of pure ecstasy and mania.

A noisy vortex of heavy, slow-burning pop anthems, familiar yet non-conformative, “The Flood” is ultimately a piece of tremendous transgressive allure; one that grabs you by the throat and drags you through a lurid, violent journey into its belly. It is music as a flag of resilience, a song of hope in the age of collapse - both a safehouse and a scorched-earth testament to youth. A comment that eviscerates as it extends a consolation.

Love is a flaming molotov in parabolic flight.

Premiere of the track "Luxenbourg Garden" by Vanity Productions, taken from his upcoming album "The Last Picture Show" on Posh Isolation.

"...Like most of the recent work by Vanity Productions "The Last Picture Show” is built upon repetitive loop manipulations creating desolated clouds of sonic dust and a wet haze of different pitches and noise elements full of melancholy and introscpection. Stadsgaard dwells in the simplicity of forms that carry elegance and tenderness, emotionality and receptivity to the listener. "
