An interaction designer by day, Vicki Siolos uses her DJ work to cast aside her day job’s focus on creating seamless systems for online and IRL environments. Instead, embracing the cracks of a world and its users, made more visible than ever by the Covid-19 pandemic, this mix by Siolos is inspired by the resilience of imperfection. The Japanese joinery technique of kintsugi—using gold or other precious metals to mend broken pottery, which emphasizes its fractures rather than concealing them—was on Siolos’ mind as she formed this two-hour mix.

Siolos’ research into the history of sound design, experimental composition, and the headier corners of electronic music results in an eclectic mixtape, a primer on the forms. From a 1970s piece by electroacoustic pioneer, critic, and anti-nuclear activist Pierre Schaeffer, to the out-there rhythms and cut-up voice of Soundwalk Collective, to the canonical Autechre, Siolos weaves tracks that are sonically and conceptually disparate but which arise from a similar impulse. The glitch, ambient, IDM, and cinematic sounds found on this mix fully let go of function. Siolos, instead, curates tracks that operate between disciplines.

Vicki Siolos is a DJ and interaction designer from New York City. Her career focuses around creating seamless experiences for broad audiences, using trusted methods and casting personal bias aside. Her mixes are intended as the complete opposite, heard each month on her radio show Bright Patterns: a freeform exploration of internal absolutes among endless options. Each recording is an attempt to capture life in the moment, inviting everything to the surface to show itself as it wants to be seen.

Vicki Siolos - Kintsugi [Side A Excerpt] (ENMX14)

Integer – a durational located sound walk+ generative composition by @breakwavedj

“Integer” is part of a wider body of work that focuses on the narrative of locational history and the recording of biotic and abiotic constituents, before further changes take effect. Curated using visual programming language, the generative piece is an infinite iteration of nine panned notes with variable loop lengths. The result is a continual soundscape; the computer has creative control and the music thinks for itself. Using field recording techniques and
specialist equipment, sounds are captured and the act of recording becomes part of the overall composition. Covid-19 has lead us to engage in practices alone, such as sound walking. This piece invites the listener into the sonic environment, where durational listening and interaction in the geographical location is shared. 

*The use of headphones or full-range speakers is advised, the duration of the piece is 60 minutes.

Phases make up a life,

How lucky then am I,

To have had so many.



Ingrain me so with richness,

That real variance of feeling,

Indelible blessing,

Of the highs and lows.



Touched warm like of the sun,

By sweet fear of the yet undone,

A new leaf,

Anxiety’s gift,

To be able to feel and to feel like this.

__



Oh and I know it's made with

Intelligent design,

Paradise perfected,

All elements aligned,

But who's Eden, by design, 

Will it resemble your childhood or mine?



In love we trust,

A leap of faith,

Into the next phase,

Our digital escape,

Gaze into eachother's mind's eye,

Released from flesh, to never die, 



But can they capture the way,

You look to me,

Glittering in the glow,

Of my fallibility,

Simulate every freckle on your face,

Never dare to approximate, 



And with this new leaf,

Save humanity's gift,

To be able to feel,

And to feel like this.

__



Shock my senses with the injustice of morning,

I fear I feel I must be falling,



Back to the earth,

To the seperateness of bodies,

And now you'll never see what I see,



All the beauty, 

All the longing, 

To share what can only be fleeting, 



I wanted that connectedness,

Now I'm out here,

With the rest,



Live our lives,

I guess it's time we tried, OK, 



And if I feel there's nothing more to know,

It's only because I haven't known very much of life, 



Begging for something more to feel,

Running from anything real,



Coz all that we share,

And all we create,

Can only be laid to waste,

I wanted that connectedness, 

Now I'm out here,

With the rest,



Live my life,

I guess it's time I tried, OK.

___



I don't mind that you have to go,

Because I'm still basking in your glow,

Isn't it fine to never find,

Out what you didn't need to know,



Oh you’re not good for me,

And I could never be good for you,

I’m not so arrogant as to believe that I could ever,

Change a thing you do.
