[English translation below]

أنا بس ساكتة لك .. حيجيلك يوم طوّل بالك
لما يروق عقلي وبالي
حيجيلك يوم تترجاني
وأشوف أنا إزاي تنساني
وأتقل عليك .. طوّل بالك
أنا بس ساكتة لك .. حيبجيلك يوم طوّل بالك
بكرا فؤادك يتلوع
وأكيدك قوي أنا وأتدلع
وتطلب الوصل أتمنع
وأتقل عليك .. طوّل بالك

I’m keeping quiet for now
But a day will come
Just you wait
When my mind clears
A day will come when you will beg me
Let’s see you forget me then
And I’ll play hard to get
Soon your heart will be in agony
I’ll torment you and happily
get on with my life
You’ll beg for us to reunite
but I’ll refuse
I’ll play hard to get
Just you wait

Some events in my personal life have slowed down the completion of the next episode of Sound Propositions, but since it's been a while since our last mix, in the meanwhile it seemed an appropriate time to share a new one. Balkan signs comes courtesy of my longtime friend and collaborator Stefan Christoff, a Montreal-based musician and community organizer who has created many memorable mixes for this site over the years, here joined by Toni Dimitrov (Acidfake, Private Mountain, Post Global). In addition to his work as a DJ and producer, for over two decades, Toni has run various labels from Skopje, Macedonia, most recently élan vital recordings,  "an independent Macedonian music label releasing limited edition of handcrafted CDs and tapes from international artists focused on obscure aspects of sound, accompanied with carefully created artwork and video art." The label has also released work by Manja Ristić, Carlo Giustini, Michele Andreotti, Sova Stroj, and many others sure to appeal to our readers. And, full disclosure, back in 2021, élan vital released a CD collaboration between myself and Stefan, La Lumi​è​re Du Soleil Dans Un Semi Sous​-​sol. As he's mentioned before, Stefan has roots in the area along the Macedonian and Bulgarian border, and his music often explores his Balkan heritage. As he explains below, he finally met Toni in person last year while performing around the region. The two chose a number of tracks from across their various projects and collaborations, as well as from other labels (AMEK) and artists (EVITCELES) from the Balkans. (Joseph Sannicandro)

Stefan writes:

"In the fall last year I met Toni Dimitrov for the first time, we connected in Skopje, Macedonia. I had a solo piano concert on the one night that I was there and it was raining so hard. Connecting with and sharing some space with Toni, a prolific ambient musician, during the visit was important. I particularly enjoyed sharing a soup together after the show in an old restaurant. 

I am sharing this mix that was put together in the context of Toni and I working on a duet album together. The project is underway and we look forward to sharing it with the world. I love collaborating with Toni for many reasons, but one quickly that comes to mind is thinking about the mountain hikes that Toni regularly takes in the territory, in Macedonia."

Thank you for listening.

Toni Dimitrov and Stefan Christoff present Balkan signs [mix]

This mix emerges from a collective music session that took place in winter 2023 in Kingston, Ontario at the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts. The quartet that assembled to record was coordinated by David Parker who welcomed in three musicians to experiment with: Jonas Bonnetta, Chantal Thompson, and Stefan Christoff. The sessions resulted in The Starlight Electric, a session of heartfelt improvisation that will be released as an album in 2024. In preparations for this project to be out in the world, the group put together this mix for ACL, sharing some of their musical influences.

Taken from the forthcoming album "Protest on the mountain (remixes)"

CD/DIGITAL: https://shimmeringmoodsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/protest-on-the-mountain-remixes

Limited to 40 copies, handmade wallets, hand numbered....

"Protest on the mountain" is an album of 21 remixes of a guitar and percussion duet that I played with Aidan Girt. This project is rooted in a community based connection with Aidan that has held for over two decades. 

I first met Aidan at a solidarity protest in the summer of 2001 outside of the Italian consulate in Montreal on Mont Royal. This protest was to both express support for the massive anti-capitalist protests against the G8 in Genoa and specifically to protest the death of Carlo Giuliani, who was shot dead by Italian police sitting in a van. This connection with Aidan has grown and evolved over the years, particularly around ways to build ties between activism and music. 

This project is shaped by 20 different artists reimagining a guitar / percussion duet that was recorded in the rehearsal space of Godspeed you! black emperor, a band that Aidan has played drums in for decades. These remixes illustrate also the spirit of community and building solidarity across borders that rests in both of our hearts.

El Final Es Viento <3

Title: Sounds From Uncomfortable Women
Artist: Daniela Solis
Year: 2020

What you are getting inside your ears and head is the voice of hundreds and thousands of women in México (mostly cdmx) talking, singing, shouting, chatting, crying, telling, whispering and expressing trough the loudest and the most expandable way of being, sound.

We live in a country where there are 10 women killed everyday, this are feminicides, acts of terminal violence conducted specially by men to women. the reason; WE ARE WOMEN. 

This is the most aggressive of the male oppressions, we call it machismo, but there are so many types of violence that we the women have to go through every day, everywhere and all around. 

In recent months things have been getting louder, everything is louder and bigger, violence is louder, so our voices are louder too.

These are different accusations and complains against the order of patriarchy. 

We are uncomfortable women, I mean, this, our voices, are not voices of comfort, this are the voices of the women who agreed on making everything uncomfortable because we have learned that nothing changes when we keep it quiet, peaceful, this is not a country ruled by peace. 

So this is us expanding our fight to every space that there is to inhabit, we will not be quiet, we will be everywhere, we won’t be comfortably ignored.  

I mixed different audio files,  field recordings, protests, chats with friends, conferences, testimonies, classes, street recordings and other material that I found on my IG timeline from march 8th,  I did this so I could build this massive fountain of sound, I purposely worked on the files so words can’t be clearly heard, no discourses, it’s just the matter, the pitch and the tones in hour voices, the deep pronunciation of pain and the demands of freedom caught in the intention of what is said, not the words but the sound, energy, our deepest and most expandable way of being.
