Taken from Primitive World - The Revolt of Aphrodite LP/Download [ELP048] - out 20/03/2020

• Crafty sci-fi minimalism and rude broken beats from Ecstatic co-owner Sam Willis (Primitive World)
• In/directly inspired by the “bawdy, acerbic”, forgotten ‘60s sci-fi novels of Lawrence Durrell
• Cut at D&M, Berlin. Cover painting by Daniel John Willis, Photo by Sam Willis, design by Alessio Natalizia
 
Ecstatic co-owner Sam Willis turns cues from forgotten English sci-fi author Lawrence Durell into bouts of taut, fractious, and probing funk on his sophomore LP, ‘The Revolt of Aphrodite’

Following a similar process that was applied to the visual cues of overlooked British constructivist Marlow Moss in his 2018 debut album ‘White On White’, and recent lysergic rescoring of Kubrick’s ‘Full Metal Jacket’ (INCLUDE LINK HERE TO THE FMJ RELEASE ON THE SITE PERHAPS?) Sam Willis aka Primitive World employs a strategy of in/direct references to Durrell’s seminal ’60s sci-fi diptych ‘The Revolt of Aphrodite’ - comprising the novels ’Tunc’ and ‘Nunquam’ - in an absorbing reimagining of its scenes, rendered in a mix of glitching electronic shrapnel, craftily disrupted UK club rhythms, and stuttering gremlin vocaloids. 

The original books’ themes of “Nietzchean psycho-sexual satire”, and their acerbic, bawdy, densely allusive text, serve to push Primitive World toward more complex drum programming/editing and a finer spectrum of timbres in order to best transpose the stories into music. Set against a backdrop of the May 1968 general strike in Paris, the books address notions of multiplicity and contingency, and a preoccupation with structure and “cause and effect” that Primitive World reflects in the music’s mazy narration and his poetic embrace of literary/musical license. 

Where modern electronic music too often arrives at the same aesthetic conclusions inspired by iconic work from William Gibson or Asimov, then Durrell’s influence provides something very refreshing to the playful and absorbingly otherworldly nature of ‘The Revolt of Aphrodite’. Using the same palette as found on his ‘White On White LP’ - PPG Wave, Kurzweil K250, Emulator 4 and Lexicon 224 - Primitive World’s familiarity with the set-up leads to a finer manipulation of form throughout the album. Oscillating between the Alva Noto-esque minimalism of ‘All This Vulgar Data’, and the cubist UKFunky rhythms in ‘Iolanthe Dances’ or Dego-like broken beats in ‘Skins Plastered With White Lead’, to end up in the curdled electronic sensuality on ’The Foetus Of a Love Song’, Primitive World’s 2nd album offers deftly imaginative and playful solutions to the homogeneity of modern electronic music’s all-too-often blinkered dreams.

Taken from The Henning Christiansen Archive release HC3 Opus 201 L´ESSERE UMANO ERRABANDO LA VOCA ERRABANDO LP

The third release on The Henning Christiansen archive label features a previousely unreleased work from 1991. The Wandering Human Being - The Wandering Voice, as the title suggest is a piece for voice and featurues Carlo Quartucci, Carla Tatò, Ursula Reuter Christiansen and Henning Christiansen. 

Ursula and Henning met the couple Carlo Quartucci and Carla Tatò through the curator Johannes Gachnang on a visit to Genazzano in Italy 1983 and became close friends, collaborating on a variety of projects, most notably on Carlo and Carla’s epic adaptation of Heinrich von Kleist's play Penthesilea (forthcoming on The Henning Christiansen archive). 

The Wandering Human Being - The Wandering Voice came about from a conversation between the four of them whilst on a beach on the island of Møn in the eastern sea in Denmark, looking south. Here they all laughed at the realisation that on the other ide of Europe in this direction was Sicily where Carlo and Carla lived. The island Sicily, The island Møn. As Henning says “The human-being was wandering from sea to sea”. Henning saw no difference in their way over life ‘over there’ and mused on the means of which we cross over oceans and move around facilitating awareness of the same family of human being. People from islands meet people from islands and they can all look across vast waters and laugh together. 

Human-basic-technology

This conversation and collective realisation of the simplicity of it all lead to this work which is one of the finest in Henning’s vast catalogue. L´essere Umano Errabando La Voce Errabando is a mantra for four voices, the sound of the ocean, a pvc tube, effects and wind instument. The piece moves in an organic hypnotic fashion lulling and rolling, ebbing and flowing over the two sides of the record. Rudimentary phrases in various languages interlope and weave a mystical music, as primitive as it is ‘contemporary’. 

The Wind, The Stars, etc are repeated over in random untrained fashion. The two couples from different countries weave voices, words and language into a common sonic fabric which eradicates identity, the idea of ‘national’, the idea of country, the idea of difference.  

Unlike anything else in Henning’s output L´essere Umano Errabando La Voce Errabando is a calm and meditative work which rolls along two sides wrapping the listener in a random melancholic meditative mantra. Only Henning Christiansen could summon such haunting, beautiful, gothic music carved from political hope.
