"A1 - I Expect Nothing (Straight) PNDLM002 out 15.03.2022"

Taken from SBKT048: 33EMYBW & Gooooose - Trans-Aeon Express

Artwork: Weirdcore
Design: Luke Griffiths
Mastering: Raphael Valensi
Release Date: 25th March 2022

In late 2020, in the midst of lock downs and worldwide uncertainty, London based visual artist Weirdcore presented his first solo exhibition, ‘Orient Flux’, at SKP-S in Beijing, supported by Kennedy London. Developed and produced remotely due to travel restrictions, the exhibition spanned 7 interconnecting audio-visual installations forming a ‘train station from the future’, with music and sound design by 33EMYBW and Gooooose. Initially arriving at the ‘Stellar Lounge’, passengers traversed through the ‘Oblique’ security checks, decompress and adjust their bodies for travel in the ‘Microcosmic’ zone, and pass through the ‘Infinity Gates’ and ‘Dimensional Horizon’ to finally board the ‘Trans-Aeon Express’, an illusory bullet train, to embark on a spatio-temporal journey through time.

‘Trans-Aeon Express’ by 33EMYBW and Gooooose is a continuation of this project, with music and sound design from the exhibition, as well as new tracks inspired by and sampling elements/ambience from the various installations. Released on a limited-edition LP, as well as digitally, the album features new artwork by Weirdcore, updating and evolving the original Orient Flux emblem, with graphic design and layout by Luke Griffiths.

Special thanks to Kennedy London and SKP-S Beijing.

Softness est une artiste, compositrice et DJ, basée entre Lausanne et Genève.
Dans une envie de comprendre le son et de l’attraper à sa source, elle compose ses lives à partir de ses propres enregistrements et des ses inspirations musicales: Drone, Post-club et Trance. Ces différentes textures sonores sont ensuite retravaillées et spatialisées pour créer des ambiances qui proposent un voyage à travers différentes atmosphères qui s’intensifient au fil du temps. Depuis peu, elle y ajoute de la flute traversière et du chant, parfois modulés sur des pédales à effets.

Softness - Where is the light?

Originally recorded at the International Studio & Curatorial Program, Brooklyn, in 2018 - Betty Hammerschlag’s ISCP EP gets a reboot via Cologne’s SPA Recordings. 
ISCP emphasizes Betty Hammerschlag‘s signature that recycles intros, phrases and found sounds into infinite loops. Layered emotions are warping with desires to cycle endlessly about each other. Their deconstruction of pop songs is a delicate act of extracting quintessential temperaments of emotional pop. The Songs are floating eternally like a never-ending sillage full of sentiments.

For our first album release of 2024, we are excited and honored to welcome Sote to the SVBKVLT family with ‘Ministry of Tall Tales’

Ata Ebtekar, better known as Sote, is an electronic music composer and sound artist based in Tehran, Iran. His wide-ranging love of rich sounds and textures is embodied in diverse paths such as hardcore club sounds, collaborations that straddle (traditional) acoustic and electronic instrumentation, and solo experimental electronics – making Ebtekar equally at home in concert halls, galleries, or clubs. Over the last three decades, he has released on labels such as Warp, Sub Rosa, Morphine, Diagonal, and Opal Tapes.

‘Ministry of Tall Tales’ is an electronic music composition that reflects on hyperbolic orchestrations of political and social current affairs.

In this work, notions such as misinformation/disinformation, biased mental states, bigotry, dogma and ultimately corruption are brainchild of the composer in order to achieve a sonic spirit in abstract form.

Ludicrous and distorted human behaviors are told by magnifying musical intervals and entering the spaces in-between, and simultaneously dramatizing subtle microtonal motifs, ultra-fine polyrhythmic, polymetric and polytempic pitched patterns assemble the skeleton of an engine symbolizing various systems.

The configuration and framework of this mechanism represents both harmonious and non-harmonious aspects in society. Rearranging and coloring components of tradition, neglecting moral codes, and separating ingredients of rituals to showcase humankind’s failures and accomplishments.

The composer has been experiencing an immense amount of frustration, anger, confusion, helplessness and fear because of what has been happening in his surroundings and the sociopolitical system. Consequently, the music is contemplations on corruption, oppression and murder.

“Ministry Of Tall Tales” is an all-synthesis based work, dark and melodic with a noise aesthetic.

Sometimes They Call Me Devil

HORROR VACUI, a new short film directed by Matteo Zamagni in collaboration with ICA London / Channel 4 / Random Acts. Music & sound design by TSVI.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Horror Vacui, from Latin 'fear of empty space' 

This non-narrative film explores geological self-similar formations of Earth and the frenetic Hyper-development attained by humankind, culminating into a sense of claustrophobic anxiety conferred by the present condition. 

It reflects upon the alienation from nature as well as the act of perceiving, and the biased interpretation of the notion of 'reality'; 
By mixing CGI techniques and real footage the video blurs the distinction between reality and a digital recreation of it; 
thus making the viewers question themselves constantly whether what they are seeing is real or not.

"The most negative emotions are neither grief nor anger that cannot be suppressed, but shame.

Shame is the disease of the soul. It is one of the most heartbreaking experiences. Shame is the wound inside. It separates us from ourselves and also separates us from others.

In shame, one's self-consciousness is 'split' - imagine that when we are in the eyes of another person - the self-consciousness of people in shame will have such a split, themselves Always in your own eyes.

Shame is the first and most essential cause of all violence (whether for individual violence or for specific groups of people). Anger, assault, and violence are all coping strategies for shame.

Using seemingly powerful anger to mask the powerless shame. In order to cope with shame, the individual externalizes the internal blame on the self to the outside world and others, and then angers and attacks the outside world and others. This feeling is better to endure than pure shame.

Unlike most emotions, shame does not disappear with time, it lurks in us. It is the least easily recognized and released emotion, it is the most secretive emotion. ”
