Triš & Buttechno - Emo

Ferocity gives way for tenderness as @bungalovv becomes the latest @genomeshanghai inductee. 

Oozing gentle optimism, ‘Visited by Strangers’ takes a different approach from earlier work. Where records like ‘Donde Hubo Fuego’ established a direct, hard-edged style, this one shifts emphasis to introspection. It’s also a product of the pandemic; the remote nature of its various collaborations speaking to an elusive sense of community and belonging. 

Complete with auto-tuned vocals courtesy of Catnapp, our premiere finds sublime tension in a cinematic arrangement of field recording and synth.

'Visited by Strangers' is out March 31st on Genome 6.66Mbp.

This mix is for laying in a field, walking in a park, smoking in a hot car, sweat in your eyes, sunset, heads under water, wind on burnt skin, fresh aloe, salt water, warm - sleepless night walks, walking through a water sprinklers mist, sunrise, love, life, & many other feelings I am unequipped to describe.
Some songs are ones which I have DJ’d over the last couple of years, and others I associate with well cherished moments. This mix serves as somewhat of a time capsule to me. It can live here to represent a slippery summer ballad for you to enjoy.

Honour - Àlááfíà
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 121
Release Date: 03 November 2023
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/Alaafia

Honour’s debut album is a ligament stretching from Lagos to London and to New York, curling across the diaspora and brushing the darker hues of blues, hip-hop, free jazz, ambient, gospel with Christian mythology and Yoruba folklore. As cinematic as it is painterly, Àlááfíà is a meditation on themes of life, death and love that pulls inspiration from the unexpected poetic profundity of casual conversations, field recordings, literature, ephemera, or personal archives. The result is an impressionistic vision in Black and Blur that both exhausts and implicates language—substantiating a mythos proposed by Fred Moten that sublimates boundaries between everywhere and nowhere; history and the present; the individual and the universal.

Àlááfíà delineates a gothic landscape cut by overdriven beats, swooping orchestral blasts, choral bursts and ear- splitting fuzz, where the fleshly and spiritual realms commune. Dedicated to Honour's late grandmother, the title track began to take form after their last embrace and remains steeped in her influence and spirit—a tape-saturated composition that starts in Lagos and ends in London's smoke-stained cityscape, the song’s dream-like quality developed out of the artist’s grief and PTSD coping with this loss. Beneath the stretched guitar drones and stuttering loops, their grandmother's shared faith bubbles to the surface.

“When Angels Speak of Love,” borrows its title from two works by Sun Ra and bell hooks, respectively. Sculpting echoes of praise music into disorienting spirals perforated with syrupy DJ Screw-inspired breaks and sharp splinters of melancholic guitar, “When Angels Speak of Love” engages a conceptual dialogue with the spirits of both late thinkers, folding them into Honour’s pantheon of ancestral guides. The album’s ninth track, “Giz Aard ($uckets),” is a dirge of regimented drums which anchor this somber melody as it whirls into a blizzard of heartache, uncertain if its consequence will be death or eternal joy.

The album’s sole lyrical offering, “Pistol Poem (Lead Belly),” begins with a darkly humorous bar, “He went thru hell and back/ came back/ 2 get the strap,” that swells into a haunting allegory based on the life of Philip “Hot Sauce” Champion. A modern take on the Blues, Honour’s lyrics reify the artist’s status as a student of both literature and popular culture, crossbreeding the artist’s clever wordplay with additional references to Richard Pryor, Robert Johnson, Kelly Rowland & Bryon Gysin.

Setting core principles of hip-hop, R&B, jazz and gospel music to atemporal soundscapes and compositions, Honour crafts a record that marinates in its own knotty contradictions. The ghosts that sit on the artist’s shoulders have never been more tangible than with this emotive debut.

Honour - ILLBETHERE, 4EVERANDEVER (PAN 121)

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.

'Movement Gallery’ by Colorado-based artist Werner Levant showcases a meticulous balance between traditional string instrumentation and more modern elements. In contrast to the noise-heavy releases of the previous year, this ambient offering provides an introspective sonic experience, inviting listeners to explore the depths of their own emotions through the resonance of strings.

At its core, 'Movement Gallery' is a musical experiment that seeks to redefine the listener's perception of conventional instrumentation, specifically focusing on the expressive power of string instruments, the human voice and properties of 'experimentalism'. Its thematic exploration revolves around the transient nature of human emotions and experiences. Each track serves as a sonic vignette, capturing moments of beauty and mystery. The project is a testament to the artist's ability to traverse diverse musical landscapes, demonstrating a mastery of both the experimental and the emotive.

++ PRESENTATION ++

Scores +°-  glyphs to sounds !

+°°+--+
Scores is a compilation exploring musical notations and how they can be interpreted as sounds. People have always tried to translate sonic expressions into visual cues that could be archived, passed down, and transformed back into music. 

From symbols to numbers, grids, staffs, figures or abstract shapes, several languages have been developed and continuously questioned to improve the ability to retain the emotion and meaning sounds can convey - what lies behind the veil.
 
What if this time, the notation would come beforehand?

+°°+--+
The project unfolded in two phases. In the first one, visual artists from the Global URL Nation could propose one sheet of music score, free of interpretation. They were invited to play with musical notations and explore what it would even mean.
–
It welcomed chaggrin, Eurrope, M4X1US, MYEN, s1m0nc3ll0 & Ziyiz for 6 sheets


+°°+--+
In the second phase, artists from GUN could pick one sheet and create a track trying to follow it as much as possible. It invited them to question music as a physical object, with its shapes, colors, textures and layers with the following :

__How is the overall composition? Are there any axis or lines that could be interpreted as a timeline or a melodic scale?
__How many discrete elements are in the image? How are they laid out?
__What are the shapes involved?  What is their scale? Do they have sharp or blurry outlines?
__What are the colors/textures used? How do they relate with each other in terms of tones, contrasts…?
__How are the different elements layered on top of each other? Are they superimposed or do they merge in some way?
__How would they translate them in musical terms, such as textures, notes, structures, timbres, rhythms, dynamics? 

It welcomed Bademjan, Baje Nunca, C+Vis, Capiuz, Clair X, C.T.A.A.M.  Ecovoron, Epiphagi, HeedLess, Mambo Kahn, migu, POL100, Yau Hei ASJ & Ziyiz for 14 tracks ranging from ethereal scorescapes to hyperstimulating scratches. Sounds and shapes weave together, blurring the boundaries between the two media to create one whole entity

+°°+--+
With Scores, we invite you to seek the music that can be hidden in our surroundings, to decrypt and hear the phantom scores one can find in every shape, every color and every little visual detail __ open your ears and see the sounds, sometimes music lies in a simple fold of clothing
