Absorb is proud to present ‘Thought Makes Music’, the highly anticipated long-player by gi, solo moniker of unbridled musician, performer, and lyricist Gigi De Lacy (Optic Nerve).

'Thought Makes Music' is gi’s farthest-reaching work, a conclusive vision that follows a succession of revered sketches and short-form releases on labels such as Altered States Tapes (AUS) and Beyond the Bridge (ROK). So far her work sits on the outer limits of what can be considered “dance music”, and at full-length, its singular and immersive quality is glaring. Here, gi’s familiar spacious sound design and metallic IDM percussion is refined by an intertidal palette and restrained songwriting parameters. Given a larger canvas, gi works with increasingly blurred, distorted and feedbacking sounds, enclosed by asynchronous rhythms, bent and then snapped back into grid; the album reveals its musicality in moments of overlap, where everything happens at once.

Across eight tracks, listeners find electronic music that is less concerned with narrative so much as with landscape. gi habitually uses a set of recurring samples, melodies and drums to create the murky atmosphere that permeates the record. Instances of repetition, like a re-used drum break across 'laces', 'coil' & 'rapture' reveal a practice that is constantly rearranging itself via generative drum programming and resampled modulation. This impulse for repetition snowballs into a prominent exploration into feedback on this release. From the warping harmonies on 'feedback'; screeching textures on 'rapture'; and the metronomic jolts of frequency on 'morning' and 'knots', we hear gi’s fascination with “failed” methods of capture, nodding to her history with DIY, punk and hardcore scenes in so-called Australia. Exploring “blown out” re-recorded musical qualities for the first time under the gi alias, we find overtures of amplified noise bleed into otherwise crisp arrangements.

Allowing discreet reference-points to blur, new tonal profiles and distorted intensities arise for gi. 'Thought Makes Music' draws connections with the world around it, following rolling moments of feeling. gi presents her debut confidently, but the sound remains curious, playful & protective of itself; it answers no questions.

In this episode, I invited my dear friend @cam_cool - DJ, producer, and member of Burenhinder. Instar is also known as the captivating voice of the shoegaze band Sunchaser. Through their personal sonic explorations, instar plays and creates trance-tekno & noise music, amongst a wider arts practice under the same moniker. Instar takes here a softer approach blending nostalgic soundscapes with textured ambient music to create a tranquil soundscape.

"És música que faig pel plaer de fer-la, sense cap expectativa. És música que no està pensada per portar al directe, perquè juga amb l'acumulació d'un mateix instrument repetit diverses vegades. És música que comença i acaba en aquell primer dibuix sense emmarcar."

Gravat i tocat de forma immediata per Edi Pou a casa.
La Sara toca el violí a Underground Pt.2, però de fet hi és a tot arreu.

Lefka is a Milanese musician and designer based in Amsterdam. Over the years he has collaborated with many artists from Milan’s music scene, spanning many different genres. With his LP "Hypermelancholy" for the Italian label Hide Productions and singles for the Danish label Stress Indicators, he explores into the depths of nostalgia, sorrow and catharsis. His live performance owe as much to his emo and post-hardcore influences as to his more electronic and avant garde noise-laden listening.

Brilliant Mechanized Pain : An abstract and more club-oriented translation of his live performances, including unreleased tracks by himself and friends on his upcoming label Minijack.
