Available on cassette at https://causalchain.bandcamp.com/album/oko

oko is laced’s sophomore EP under her new moniker, which takes a new path compared to her previous noise explorations. Drawing inspiration from ambient music, dreampop, video game and anime soundtracks, breakbeat and IDM, the music conveys a dream world where the artist tends to escape in. The EP was produced over the course of 2021 since laced’s 2020 MUTEK performance in Montreal, taking a melodic approach in contrast to her more percussive productions. oko is best consumed under a pile of warm blankets or under the rain, its energy being one of catharsis, contemplation, healing and dreaming.

Scim - Surface Tension

Taken from @anh_phi debut EP Buông, out February 20, 2024.

“I was born with empty hands and I will leave with empty hands", mom said.

Titled "Buông", the debut EP draws from a word dear to Anh Phi mother's heart, meaning “to let go” in Vietnamese, echoing resilience, impermanence, and the intergenerational dichotomy of both forced and privileged migrations. It was composed in constant transition across borders, East and West, underlaid by paradigm shifts and diasporic discourses. Anh Phi’s "Buông" is a visceral exploration, inward and outward.

Multilayered modern metropolises, primal tribal feels, global borderless club mutations, Nam Cát Tiên biosphere, cinematic plots, twists & cliffhangers… “OI” — timeline collapses, equanimity, transmutation, mess & order —, “Ạ” — memories lost in translation, testimonies, mother tongue & alien tongue, morphed bikes, organic arpeggio birds —, “()” — breaths, autonomous sensory meridian response, childhood reminiscence, body movements, play —, “Ừ” — soil, light, wind, bells, rite, propelling to space…

It all converges at the intersection of uncertainty and clarity, where no answer is given yet sparse ingredients are digested.
Systems and beliefs reset to the unknown.
Mining an unreal epoch.
In between spaces yet to be discovered.
Swarm of flying beings diving into new lights.

Artwork by Anh Phi.

Burnt Offerings - Transmute [OMB010]

“The Overload flooded us. Consumed Us. Made us whole again”. As the time when "Transmute" was taking shape, so did the multiple global crisis. "Transmute" is an effort to represent the human spirit and its resiliency amidst the uncertainty, hopelessness and chaos of the current era.

Burnt Offerings is a duo consisting of Arthur Bdt (Incendie) and Andres Leon (Laopé). Their music oscillates from Drone to Cuban music, incorporating everything from traditional Latin instruments to modern sound design tools. These influences converge outside of their original contexts through heavy digital audio processing, deconstruction, and arrangement.  The sound can be best described as a disjointed yet symbiotic relationship between the past and the now.
