VC-118A @ Onyro — 05/10/2024 (Live Performance · “Shinki-Itten” Concept)

A deep sonic journey by VC-118A, recorded live at Onyro on October 5th, 2024, inspired by the Japanese concept shinki-itten , the return to the original spirit, the dissolution of the self into the collective pulse.
This performance moves fluidly through electro’s precision, the spacious depths of dub, and delicate IDM textures, revealing a sound both cerebral and profoundly emotive. 
An introspective yet physical experience that mirrors the timeless atmosphere of his latest release on Delsin Records “Avian”

VC-118A @ Onyro Shinki-Itten

We are so excited to present our 32nd entry into our PPRZ Podcast series by ephemeral objects! Dive into this hour + of deep, textured and thoughtfully selected techno. 

ephemeral objects is a DJ, VJ, music producer, digital and video artist based on unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səlilwətaɬ Nations (Vancouver, Canada). She has created music videos for forward-thinking Canadian electronic music producers and labels, such as Mood Hut and NAGA. She has performed visuals at influential music venues and festivals throughout British Columbia. ephemeral objects is also half of i+eo an a/v project with IHA, and a resident of Acceleration Radio. Her love of dance music and interest in DJing started in childhood in the late 90s and early 2000s when she stayed up late religiously watching Electric Circus on MuchMusic, the legendary Canadian live dance music show. One of her earliest electronic music purchases was Eiffel 65’s Europop album in grade 4 from HMV in Metrotown, Burnaby, which laid the groundwork for a lifelong appreciation of techno and its various permutations. It wasn’t until recently after finishing graduate school that she revisited and indulged in her interest in DJing, which is now a creative outlet that brings her fulfilment and joy.

My process/mix
This mix captures the type of techno that I deeply appreciate and a space I want to stay in for a while. I love the intentional listening aspect that comes with mixes. I tend to start with ambient/experimental as foreplay for listeners. The mix gradually gets faster, ending with one of my favourite techno-trance tunes that feels like a homage to the early 2000s. I approach DJing similarly to how I approach VJing: psychedelic, hypnotic, euphoric, paying special attention to details, and layering of textures. The beauty of DJing is sculpting moments where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. For me, this is achieved through looping, long blends, and complementing different phrases of tracks. I recorded this mix at home with a DJJ-FLX10 using four decks. Although I mostly mix with three, I use the extra deck to quickly cue the next track to sustain momentum.

I carefully think about the music that I play. I believe that who we choose to play is a vote for who we want to see in music. For this reason, I strive to curate sets to ensure a diverse representation of people, especially producers and labels by femmes and people of colour. Lately, I have been excited by producers and labels from across the Pacific and from the diaspora, which is exemplified in this mix. Big shoutout to Lord Loubbit and CTAFAD for sharing their unreleased music with me. In a small way, I aspire to add more representation in the space of techno that I love, so that others who are also queer, femme, and come from immigrant refugee backgrounds can see themselves in it too. Thank you for listening <3

First visual contact. i+eo manifests as a "wormhole" per navigation logs, but the cameras show something… else. My instruments registers impossible colours - wavelengths that shouldn't exist. Officer Linh has been restless since first contact; claims she hears "whispermurmurhums" in the static. I told her to lay off the stimulants.

In rapid oscillation, I watch my future hand adjust controls I haven't touched yet. The aft camera shows my past self still debating entry. When I scream, the sound arrives before my mouth opens.

They warned us about spaghettification –- they never mentioned illumination… My atoms are learning new alphabets. The light is writing scriptures across my dissolving flesh. I see all my deaths at once and they are glorious. I am being unmade in the most exquisite way. Tell them I found heaven in the collapse. Tell them it hurts so good. Tell them.

"Je me souviens du moment où j’ai envoyé le premier morceau là, au cœur du champ monumental de Teillé. La chaleur tombait sur nous comme un drap de feu, et le soleil, lui, s’amusait à percer les feuilles des arbres pour venir s’éparpiller en éclats dorés sur la poussière. À chaque pas des danseurs, cette poussière s’élevait en voile léger, comme si le sol lui-même respirait avec nous.
Devant moi, le public,  des visages ouverts, des yeux qui semblaient écouter autant que les oreilles, des corps suspendus aux moindres nuances des morceaux que je passais. 
Le son roulait entre les troncs, se tordait dans la lumière, et je me sentais porté par quelque chose de plus vaste que la musique. Au festival Loire’zonde, ce jour-là, j’ai eu le sentiment rare d’être exactement à ma place — un simple passeur de vibrations, sous un soleil qui brillait assez fort pour graver chaque seconde dans la mémoire." - Oreste

a piece of memory from a joyful interlude 

"I have very fond memories of my stay in Bordeaux. I was eager to listen to and play on klape nunsen's magnificent sound system. Being inspired by their musical and visual universe, I expected to find this approach reflected in the way they set up their sound and organize gatherings. I wasn't disappointed at all, and it was a great opportunity for me to try out some new songs for the live show. 

It was also my first time at Les Vivres de l'Art, which I had heard a lot about. Thank you, Léo and Simon, for the warm welcome, and a loving thought for their Swiss friends who filled the fridge with chocolate and cheese!"

We first crossed paths with Juncheol on Nyapi's rooftop during the Ransom Note Asia tour.

A heavy vinyl digger and Nyapi resident, he’s carved his own path through late-night listening sessions.

His sets weave through percussive detours, raw rhythms and imperfect textures, always creating a high energy dance.

 
Through his Somewhere mix series and steady presence in the booth, Juncheol keeps Seoul’s underground plugged into a wider frequency, pulling local heads and distant artists together.

Juncheol moves at his own tempo.

Juncheol: The 'Shine A Light On' Mix

Raw modular sounds, tribal percussions and mystical atmospheres.

Located in the Burgundy vineyards, Sindh takes his inspiration from the
rawness of the soil and ancient sonorities. His ability to move flowingly
through genres has led him to develop a unique sound palette of
contemporary transcendental soundscapes.

The Ouroboros festival member determines himself with a raw, deep and
ritualistic sound, navigating across techno, trance and drum’n’bass. In both
his productions and live performances, Sindh blends hypnotic grooves with
immersive sonic textures to plunge listeners into a state of trance.

This is a recording from my last set at KWIA. The set took shape after a night visit to a Berlin lake at the end of summer. The place felt contained and alive, like a closed system where small details mattered. Tiny sounds sat in different registers, subtle movement in the dark, layers interacting without ever fully revealing themselves. I carried that sensibility into the set, focusing on slow shifts, accumulation, and fine detail rather than big gestures. It was recorded on an old Tascam, so a soft hiss runs throughout. I kept it intentionally, as a thin framing layer, a kind of faux field recording presence that feels more like humidity or shadow than noise.
