Heterotopia I - Ensemble Intercontemporain

artist: Rathrobin https://soundcloud.com/rathrobin
album: Ear to the Ground (NR016)
release date: 31st January 2022
duration: 36 minutes
edition: digital + limited edition CD

Naviar's first solo release of the year is the stunning concept album "Ear to the Ground" by electroacoustic duo Rathrobin.

Exploring the themes of memory and yearning, Ear to the Ground is a sonic journal of intertwined personal experiences: two nomadic authors pouring their creativity and feelings in a blank canvas that becomes a breathtaking collection of electroacoustic songs.

When Pier and Beth contacted me to release their album, I was mesmerized by the mood and poignancy of their soundscapes.
Ear to the Ground is cinematic music at its best: powerful and enveloping, inviting the listener on a journey that speaks of human nature, life, and personal evolution. Beth's voice gently guides us and hovers over Pier's captivating ambient layers, adding further depth to a multifaceted album that evolves together with the listener.

The main themes of ‘Ear to the Ground’ are time, memory and nostalgia, which are realized through textural, layered, emotive and evocative soundscapes.

During six years of collaboration, inevitably, the artists' own memories, experiences and lives were interwoven throughout the album, and their own, somewhat nomadic lifestyles reflected another significant theme of the album: the meaning of home.

Vocals, field recordings, digital and analogue instruments move through the album as a way for the artists and listeners to process experiences from the past and conjure thoughts of the future.

The album’s making was a long but consistent process and invariably included some periods of furious creativity and others of quiet contemplation.

About Rathrobin:

Beth Chesser (UK) and Pier Giorgio Storti (Italy) collaborated virtually, over a six-year period whilst simultaneously exploring the world, living in various countries. After meeting on Soundcloud they quickly began working on their first collaborative album, ‘Ear to the Ground’. Each are musicians in their own right, both have performed in live bands and a multitude of recorded musical projects. The collaboration sees Pier contribute his multi-instrumental aptitude with Beth’s vocals, and digital music compositions. All the tracks from their debut album have been recorded in various locations: Italy, UK, Singapore and Finland between 2015 and 2020.

On this week’s Global Research News Hour, on the 59th anniversary of President Kennedys untimely demise, we will examine the incident yet again alongside the work of solid JFK assassination researcher Jim DiEugenio, and probe much of what’s been revealed in the wake of renewed releases of documents since the 1991 release of OLIVER STONE’s movie JFK. Towards the end of the hour, we will also get a point of view by additional JFK writer, researcher and Research Associate of the Centre for Research on Globalization, Edward Curtin.

“Death of the Rising Sun.” 59 years since the assassination of JFK.

Parallel Mike discusses preparing to weather the storm of the Great Reset, financial collapse, war, famine, digital tyranny, and anything else that might come our way! Mainstream sources are already discussing hyperinflation which is a telltale signal of where we are. He says location is the most fundamental aspect of preparedness. You won't thrive in an urban environment, you'll be hanging on by a thread in cities. We'll see bail-ins, pension funds freeze, social unrest, etc. He discusses what to do with some of your assets. At some point, portions of our life will be forced onto the Algorithm Ghetto, you will have to decide where your red lines are. Mental toughness is key. Make some preparations, but you've also got to live and be hopeful.

Parallel Mike: Weathering the Storm (e.g. Great Reset, Financial Collapse, Digital Tyranny) #335

Former GCHQ Officer Alex Thomson discusses the Anglo-American establishment's fixation on Ukraine as the underbelly of the World Island and how it is not in the interest now of either the West or the Russians to de-escalate. The logic of the expansionist system on both sides is that they're more interested in a Third World War or an eternal penumbra of Doomsday as opposed to the return of a Westphalian order. There is not a better world solution coming from Russia or China where there also exists world domination-minded elements. Very few national leaders remain who are willing and able to oppose globalism, there is an inevitable trend toward world government. He's optimistic about being able to survive the Algorithm Ghetto via parallel structures and also comments on prophecy, information operations, and antisemitic trolls.

About Alex Thomson
After learning what today’s British Establishment was all about at Rugby School and Cambridge, Alex Thomson served in a Christian mission in the former Soviet Union and went on to spend the rest of his twenties as a GCHQ officer.

He moved to the Netherlands aged thirty in 2009 and has spent the last decade more quietly as a translator and interpreter and a researcher of networked evil.

Since 2014, Alex has presented his emerging findings via the Eastern Approaches brand on UK Column News, where his specialisms are Europe, geopolitics, religious affairs and constitutional matters.

He maintains the Eastern Approaches channel, mostly of careful readings of key documents indicating the scope of corruption of British and Western public life.

Alex Thomson: Both East & West Are Interested in WW3 or an Eternal Penumbra of Doomsday #353

Emmanuel Daniel discusses the idea of East versus West and it being a Western construct, we're in a multipolar world. He argues the U.S. is a dysfunctional state because it spearheads the development of new systems of governance and suffers the consequences, but that the rest of the world shares in those benefits. He explains how China became successful and how the "reset" of the Cultural Revolution played a role. He doesn't feel the U.S is declining but rather pushing ahead into the networked world. Just like the U.S. had to reinvent itself in 1971 by closing the gold window, he feels we are at another critical juncture where the U.S. will pull yet another trick and take the world into a digital economy (e.g. CBDCs, metaverse).

The EU sanctioned Russia and boycotted its oil, yet is still buying it indirectly from India, at a higher price. This is fueling both de-dollarization and inflation in the Eurozone, where workers' real wages dropped 6.5% from 2020 to 2022.

Professor Emeritus Thomas Harrington discusses his new book "Treason of the Experts" and how the elite, educated, intellectual, and credentialed class have betrayed their roles during Covid-19. We discuss the parallels between 9/11 and Covid-9/11, pattern recognition, and how these were not organic events. He describes the expert class and their disdain for everyone else as well as the working-class who were better able to calculate risk and see through the nonsense. We also talk technocracy, Operation Gladio, "social death", and more.

Thomas Harrington: Covid & the Betrayal of the Credentialed Class #374

Vietnam veteran Bob Moriarty discusses the situation in Europe, the ongoing Ukraine war, and the cosmic levels of corruption in Kiev and Washington. He's got a fascinating theory on the Prigozhin affair. The Russia-Ukraine conflict is at its heart a conflict between debt-based system of the West and the resource-based system of the East. This could mean the utter destruction of NATO, EU, and the U.S. There is no scenario in which America defeats China. The empire is over and the globalists are going to fail, but it's going to be painful.

Bob Moriarty: The Empire is Over & the Globalists Are Going to Fail! #379

Pequeño extracto y también de lo que pude capturar en mis días de residencia artística en La Zona (El Marquesado) junto a mis compañerxs y nuestra talentosa amiga Daniela (Guía naturista e investigadora del sudeste bonarense). Fue un día nublado y gris a las afueras de toda población donde se tejió una serie de recorridos ricos en información y descubrimientos en los prehistóricos Acantilados de Mar del Plata. Mientras nuestro entusiasmo se elevaba con la brisa marina, nos topamos con un pequeño grupo de loros barranqueros (Cyanoliseus patagonus), quienes nos dieron señales de alerta por nuestros pasos en las orillas del mar.

Estos encantadores loros, con sus plumajes de colores deslumbrantes, se lanzaron en un frenesí de llamadas y graznidos. Su estridente serenata no dejaba lugar para el aburrimiento. Pero, ahí estaba la razón detrás de su alboroto. Los loros barranqueros, como celosos guardianes, emitían alertas estridentes para proteger a sus crías.

La importancia de estos loros para la vida y la naturaleza biodiversa de Mar del Plata se hizo palpable en ese momento, y que también nos recordó la vital labor que realizan en el equilibrio del ecosistema. Como polinizadores y dispersores de semillas, estos loros contribuyen a la salud y regeneración de la flora local, formando una red esencial en el tejido de la vida marplatense.

Así que, rodeados de risas y graznidos, nuestro día en los Acantilados de Mar del Plata se convirtió en un inolvidable encuentro entre la creatividad humana y la vitalidad aviar. Nos marchamos con corazones llenos de asombro y gratitud por la maravilla de la naturaleza, decididos a preservar y celebrar la rica biodiversidad que hace de Mar del Plata un lugar verdaderamente único entre tanta belleza universal.
