Olympisk Løft - Syv År I Tusind Skår

Brigh

Vanessa Amara returns with a new full length for Posh Isolation. Fonetica Amara is an adventurous and uncompromising addition to the body of work that is Vanessa Amara. New music from a truly singular voice in Scandinavian experimental music.

“‘Poses’ was in some weird way a return to form for us, being our first structured work since ‘You’re Welcome Here’. It was also the first music Sebastián and I worked on together after I had moved to Ireland. I don’t think we really knew how to go about having a long distance relationship, separated from the practice we had built in Copenhagen.
I only had my computer to work with and without access to the internet I was stuck with sampling from my digital collection of music. ‘Poses’ is almost solely made using the DAW; Logics pitch shifter plug-in and a quite limited source of samples. But it was inspiring to work with music like this. Having a clear compositional focus on orchestrating and organising rather than squeezing out notes from today’s mood. So without thinking much about it we’ve continued to work like this. We were working on ‘Fonetica Amara’ from October 2020 - December 2021.

I’m sitting here writing this because Posh Isolation don’t know what to think of ‘Fonetica Amara’ and have - on a friendly note - compared it to when Darkthrone released ‘Panzerfaust’.

I guess their point being a departure from trying to be genuine about making music, successfully perceived as being bulletproof serious. I want to believe there’s more nuance to seriousness and I wonder if Darkthrone wasn’t being humorous in their earlier material. The most recent Matrix film moved me to shed some secret tears. Surprisingly so. I’ve wondered why.
I recently made my first friend after moving to Ireland almost 4 years ago. I was volunteering during the West Cork Chamber Music Festival and Kevin Terry, who’s a brilliant composer based in Cork City, was down here with a couple of compositions. One night at the pub I was going on about the beauty of humour in music for a good while and Kevin summed it up perfectly by calling it self-awareness. It was that playful self-awareness that got to me while watching The Matrix: Resurrection.

Since ‘You’re Welcome Here’ we’ve been deviating from a path we might previously have started out on. More than anything we try to change, because we can’t let go of that feeling of not understanding, not knowing, not recognising.
We wish to stay curious about our voice, to not become specific, avoid exercising some kind of “disciplinary correctness” and to “want more questions than answers” (Jack Halberstam’s: The Queer Art of Failure).”

social media makes you mentally ill

My mom ran away from her abusive household at 14, spending the next 6 years living and working in co-ops in Seattle, and then on Haight St. in San Francisco. Next was LA, where the classic rock and soul she was raised on partially made way for synth punk and hardcore street life. Although her naturally raucous hair was difficult to spike, she quickly found herself emblazoned with all other types of radical leftist insignia. This was directly before my inception, and the purple hair and piercings were very much present at my birth - and are still present today depending on which mood you catch her in. Having me did change her sonic output though, switching from the relentless screaming and harsh synth lines to what we have here - relatively softly-told stories about the very hard existence she leads. 
	I can’t listen to these songs without crying, which made me think maybe they are too personal to put up, but ultimately that’s selfish. These songs were sung to me my whole childhood, and the messages in them stuck. In a time of increased authoritarianism, poverty, and general hardship, calls to destroy government buildings, give the drugs away, and treat everyone with dignity are more important than ever. Anyway, hope you all enjoy some beautiful tracks by one of the toughest and kindest extraterrestrials to ever crash land on this rock. Love you mom.
