sound art series based on the poetry collection "Stories Untold"

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

people were falling in the streets
shivering in agony, for what they saw would hit them
like a bolt, scalding them from within,
the Great War was now inside them

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

I am buried
with you, and the others
in the trenches of shame, all piled up
& covered with sickening laughter.
Our eyeballs are rubbed with injustices,
ears deafen by rumble of terror,
hearts numbed with trepidation,
limbs soaked in repugnant lies,
minds bleached by virtual ordure.
They murder, they rape, they rob.
They bury. Me, you,
and the others.

this 21-minute long sound work is a forest tale about war, re-imagined from the perspective of the land that witnessed centuries of socio-cultural turmoil. tamed nature versus wilderness, contaminated versus protected land, the Iron Curtain belt saw some significant changes – from being a brutal barrier between East and West strewn with mine fields, to becoming a highly protected European natural heritage.

the somewhat tense, suffocating and dark-sounding atmosphere of this piece reflects my feelings on possible relations between former and present conflicts, and alludes to the harsh consequences necro-politics of the past are imposing on contemporary society.

the stunning forest microbiome researched in this work is now part of the European Green Belt, formerly the Iron Curtain borderlands between Austria and Czech Republic.

Third and final track on the untitled suite for piano and organ, released on Another Timbre in 2017. Physical copies are sold out.

This CD features recordings of a now lost sculptural work that was originally commissioned in 2016 for Colour Out of Space festival. The work consists of over 100 empty computer cases, fitted with 16 customised and automated DVD drives. Between 2016 and 2018 it was exhibited in Brighton, Athens, Croydon, Oxford and Rennes, on each occasion being reconfigured into a new form. The most ambitious of these being at Detritus Festival in 2018, where a new and larger version of the work was constructed at the Onassis Cultural Centre from used computer sourced in the city. The work was sadly lost in transit between France and the UK, returning to the global trade in e-waste which its production initially sought to intervene in, so all that remains are these recordings. 

The CD is released in an edition of 150 in an oversized 7" sleeve accompanied by a 16 page risographed booklet featuring photographs and scans of the sculpture, essays by Danae Stefano and Stephen Cornford, and a letterpressed backpanel.

Following his first two releases on Few Crackles and Groovedge, ssabae returns with more stretched forms, exploring the expression of frequency epiphenomena. Borrowing from the psychology of Gestalt in its research on the perception of forms, fractal archipelago questions our psyche and its capacity to associate images and, more specifically here, sounds, while freeing itself from the production of a stable pattern.
