scorpio moon - secret life

SCRYING THE LANDSCAPE VI w. Elina Tapio & Hannah Pezzack!
Molecular thinking digs deep into the way in which realities emanate from different scales. Referencing the porousness of being subverting singular ways of existence; relating to agential cuts in protein formations and ribosomal activity; or considering unstable and unpredictable formation of identities of quantum particles. Accordingly, this episode opens with the sound of two black holes colliding, expressive of mutating landscapes those recorded electromagnetic waves have emitted in their cosmic-scaled genesis, containing alien memories in the crevices of their becomings: folds within folds, macrocosms within microcosms.
The sixth chapter of Scrying the Landscape features work by multidisciplinary artist Tuomas A. Laitinen (@tuomasalaitinen), who recently released his debut album Sapiduz under the name Tal on Öm-sound. His work deals with a broad-spectrum of approaches to symbiotic processes, ecosystems and multispecies entanglements, themes which are also explored on Sapiduz. The album presents celestial medieval singing reverberating with microbial worlds of past times and futures to come.

Scrying The Landscape w. Elina Tapio And Hannah Pezzack [11.01.2022]

Every so often, the Amulet reveals something rare, akin to a pearl or a secret. Today it presents BODYXVIII, an artist based in Melbourne, active in the fields of electronic music and sound collage since 2018. The Australian musician's work spans a deep spectrum across techno pulsations to ambient shimmers, all unified by overarching textures as well as attention to completeness and intermixture. Being no exception, the mix was woven together with original sound collages and field recordings. The artist shares it as a token of his own sonic headspace in the present day.

forms of minutiae presents 'live at kwia’, a fragment of a recorded electroacoustic performance by field recordist and artist @pablodiserens

Amid winter, on one of the last nights of 2021, a group of people gather in the welcoming womb of a listening bar. Bordered by tiled walls and embraced by a simulated fog, cradled listeners soon forgo outer fluctuations. From a distance, dogs’ barks and bats’ calls reverberate into the space, Pablo Diserens’ concert has begun. What unfolds next is a weaving of biophonic field recordings with hums of blown and stroke glass bottles. The emerging electroacoustic ecoscape oscillates between animal stridulations and Helmholtz resonances. Wavering wind pulses and mirroring clangs intertwine with ultrasonic drones bringing the audience into oneiric realms. Ants, grasshoppers, and crickets infuse the room with vespertine warmth. Windows ooze with condensation. Winter seems far, as if morphed into a balmy summer night. A new landscape materializes, birthed by the set of frequencies at play. Buccal air gently throbs in and out of the glass vessels in glistening gestures. Pablo blows into their empty bottles one last time before handing the stage to a sizzling underwater mixture of rain drops and insectean accents. 

The recorded fragment stops here, yet, that night, the formed sonic window into this temporary landscape pursued its course. The auditory encounters that followed now only exist in the hazy memories of wintertide listeners.

The trudges through the crepuscule lanes, where cedar branches release the drops and the forest is manumitted from the quietness. Zhe Pechorin gathered the wind-filled assembly for Amulet of Tears.

Guidance and close approach to tenebrous force. Lambently textured mix of meandering piano, long-wave static and clamorous nigrescence draws out the new palette of drones ahead in the raptures of dim, deliberately intoxicating the silence.

Zhe Pechorin is a moniker of Belgrade-based artist Andjelina Micic, who takes the melding influx through the smoke swirling tension.
