ART V3 06.04.23

"Magnet Blues" presents Zhu Wenbo and Zhu Songjie’s unique and utterly bizarre take on American blues, as if filtered through layered variations of darkness. Throughout the recording, we hear barely audible vocals, minimalist, smart, and subtle guitar work, and the folkish atmosphere of what sounds like distant train activity and dying radios. Instrumentation is notable here: Songjie uses the peculiar Casio EG-5 electric guitar, with a built-in cassette deck, while also playing harmonica. Wenbo plays a Fisher-Price toy cassette player, sings, and also plays harmonica. Throughout bursts of noise and rustling midrange timbres, Zhu and Zhu navigate an understated, focused, and dreamlike realm of song and texture.

For more than twenty years, Roel Funcken has been a cornerstone in electronic experimentation. Alongside his brother Don, this Dutch sound sculptor melted hip-hop, industrial and soundscapes under monikers like Funckarma and Shadow Huntaz. A prolific solo musician and collaborator as well, Funcken teams up with Cor Bolten to revive the Legiac project with the eight tracks of Banisteriopsis Caapi. Keys appear through a sorrowful haze in "Mimosa Hostilis", this machined mist difussing as distorted strings penetrate before a dawning of icy brightness. Modulated forms and shapes billow in the bubble and trill of "Pyschotria Viridis" before the orbiting interference and introspection of "Epicatechine." Percussion is reduced to a texture, the duo finding structure in droplets of water, the stretch of steel and a litany of field recordings. The partnership dive deep into their chosen sounds, elongating and expanding tones to find harmony in the absence and isol ation that is their focus. Pieces like "Solanaceae" bristle with an understated elegance, like starlight piercing a brooding night sky, while "Banisteriopsis Caapi" finds an eerie solace in its repurposing of voice as an undulating elegy. Legiac achieve a distant intimacy with their listener, a relationship forged through complex compositions, gentle movements and subtle shifts.

Solanaceae by Legiac

https://soundcloud.com/wavefold (Filippo Nunziale) is a producer and deejay based in Padua, northern Italy, active since 2015. Deeply into sound and music since childhood, absorbing mostly hip-hop and alternative as a kid, his first electronic productions floated around Ambient and IDM, a sound expressed through few releases on Chevel’s Enklav label. He later developed a Uk-bass leaning sound, based on recombining sonic elements from Dubstep, Drum and Bass, Dub and Breakbeat to assemble a new, evolved audio DNA. In 2021 he founded with fellow producer Coeden Wetware Echo, an imprint focused on exploring the bass continuum through sci-fi, techno-folklore and cyberculture contaminations. The two also produce and perform together as Aural Stream. 

Q:"What was a crucial sound experience in your life?"
A:"One of the most crucial audio-experiences in my life was hearing a blasted and chopped Amen Break during Roll The Dice’s live set at Atonal 2017, the first time I was listening to electronic music on a proper, good sounding sound system. From that moment on breakbeats re-surfaced in my music consciousness, becoming a central element in my sonic practice. (the mentioned sound is featured in the mix)"

MNEMOSYNE #057 - WAVEFOLD

"Škvar" is a sound installation composed by Manja Ristić & Mark Vernon, as a part of the site-specific installation "Invoking shipbuilding in Korčula" created and realized by the visual artist Matea Šabić Sabljić aka @_argo_nauta_

The installation will be presented on the 6th and 7th of December, next to the Antifascist memorial by architect Bernardo Bernardi which was built at the exact place of an old shipyard.

Sound work is an extension of an art action: "Taking the tool in your hands is an act of honesty", which took place in September and engaged wider community. The participatory action involved people bringing hammers and nailing the names of old Korčula's shipbuilders into the planks of abandoned boats. Doing so produced the noise — sound of an old shipyard that was gone decades ago.

This public action became a silver lining of the sound work "Škvar".

Matea continued to collect hammers in Korčula, Dubrovnik, Split, Betina and Zagreb. Collected hammers will be installed as a site-specific installation accompanied by the sound work. Collecting hammers is continuing as a work in progress for the sake of "Invoking shipbuilding in Korčula" hoping to initiate a Museum which will protect both history and the future of local shipbuilding.

Exhibition is curated by Sonja Leboš ( @uiii.aiir ) and co-organised by @kap_korcula

Zaziv muzeju i korčulanskoj brodogradnji

Korčulanski škveri i majstorske radionice svjedoče slavnu korčulansku brodograditeljsku prošlost. Glas o kvaliteti njihovog rada je bio nadaleko poznat. Korčulanske obitelji brodograditelja sagradile su na tisuće brodova. 
Međutim, rad, znanje i vještina koji su bili dio svakodnevice otoka kroz stoljeća, pa sve do kraja prošlog tisućljeća, izgubili su se. Nestale su radionice, pa škverovi. Pa i majstori.
Zazivamo sve te davne meštre i meštrice,
Zazivamo sve buduće meštre i meštrice,
Da uzmu alat u ruke i krenu graditi!
Želimo “uškvariti” značaj korčulanskih škvarova. Kolektivna memorija izgradnje tisuća brodova je zapisana u rukama. Treba se prisjetiti. Zakucati brokvu po brokvu. Dasku po dasku. Brod po brod.
Značaj korčulanske brodogradnje uokviriti, “uškvariti” muzejom, oko kojeg će se stvarati novi brodovi i novi meštri.
Meštar po meštar.
Meštrica po meštrica.
