In this conversation we talk with artist, traveller poet, and decolonial storyteller Aldo Ramos about his work on the pluriversity he is co-creating in Colombia. He tells about how he came to do this work, and why it is so important for the pluriversity to exist. Not in resistance to Western forms of knowledge, but as a form of re-existence. This knowledge is profoundly communal, relational and created by a weaving based on the South American concepts of sentipensar and buen vivir.

The pluriversity Aldo talks about is built and shared with many people, among others: Patricia Botero-Gomez, and Natalia Giraldo Jaramillo.

#2 The pluriversity and knowledge as a weaving - with Aldo E. Ramos

Miro SundayMusic @ 9128.live (14.05.21)

Our next guest is oriented in Ambient, Deep and Tribal sound style. He is attracted to the soundscape, the environment, and a lover of angelic tonality and healing frequencies. He is a co-founder and producer of the @deepnorte series which is representing a community dedicated to the deep and hypnotic sides of electronic music. His music combines ambient, organic sounds, tribal chases, and dub techno, a journey of high vibration and mental stimulation.  Please welcome @ancientforest as he delivers a rhythmic downtempo session full of hypnotic ambiance, floating atmospheres, and intricate percussions.

AF041 Ancient Forest

In the final years of the Soviet Union, how did the subculture win over conceptual and real freedoms? Did a trail lead from occupied houses in Moscow and St. Petersburg to the Afrofuturism of Sun Ra and Missy Elliott? Musicologists Giada Dalla Bontà and Holger Schulze trace the developmental lines of sonic fiction. They follow the mythical language around the term coined by Kodwo Eshun and explore the potential of sounds and their narratives as a liberating force.

Directed and produced by Julia Vorkefeld, commentary by Sarj Lynch, script and concept by Arno Raffeiner

Music credits: Arca “Knot”, Missy Elliott “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)”, Moor Mother "Temporal Control Of Light Echoes”, New Composers “Sputnik of Life (Mix 1)”, Bicapo “Untitled”

Workaround Two

(Apo)calypso is part of the work 'Fake Ceremony', performance and video installation by Francis Sosta.
(Apo)calypso is a poetic attempt to return to an overexploited landscape a sense of dignity after the human passage. The experimental audio-visual work invites to explore synesthetic subjectivities, guarding into floating temporalities and abstract landscapes which rest outside the linear time. 

The electromagnetic recordings are realised with Christina Kubisch special recording devices.
