«I don’t feel safe most of the time.

I am on constant alert.

Cars have always been where I felt safest throughout my life.

In the past, cars have been a home when my body has not, a refuge when my bedroom was not, a party when the club was not; an escape, shelter, security.

Cars can injure or kill, cars pollute, a symbol of insatiable and transmogrifying capitalism, the enemy of our natural environment. Cars have the potential to be dangerous, but they rarely are for me.

I have not felt protected for a long time.

Memories can cut and draw blood; the memories attached to my experiences in cars are indelible, painful, vivid, imagined.

Sometimes when the doors lock, it seals my memories.

Shielded from rain with friends.

Feeling lust’s cool thrill in summer heat with the air con on.

Looking out as if from a space shuttle at a foreign world blanketed by snow.

Lip-bitten desire. Daft Punk spilling out the speakers. Getting lost. Laughing.

Long road trips; taking the scenic route to Manchester and back again.

Sudden arousal; sudden sadness. Talking shit in a rented vehicle.

Highways and meadows. Windows down and speeding thru Brixton.

It can be like a home, a nomad’s home, endlessly travelling and unrooted. I feel unrooted 88% of the time anyway. It can feel like the car was meant for me.

cadeu is a German-based musician and sound producer.
EX became cadeu's playground to explore the idea of using language as an artistic tool in the realm of club music. Throughout the record, language is interchangeably revealed in both deconstructed and habitual ways, letting the meaning in and leaving it out, attempting to spell a message and suddenly losing it only to become another instrument in a track

Language as an artistic tool has been widely explored in conceptual and particularly in sound art for more than a century: from the phonetic poems of Dada, to Stockhausen’s experiments with text and voice, to contemporary electro-acoustic works in this day and age.

Relations between languages and their sonic characteristics was the main focus of cadeu's Master’s degree and the result of a three-year-research and experimentation. Why do languages sound just like they do? What constitutes a linguistic soundscape? In 2021’s ambient mix UI cadeu examined several languages in a deconstructed mode. The words were torn apart into particles that are deliberately devoid of any meaning, but still retaining the character of a language. Conceptually the approach was based on the idea of l’objet sonore introduced by P. Schaeffer, by means of which he regarded sounds as independent acoustic events, detached from their sources, deprived of the original meaning and intended for listening, charged with acousmatic experience.

LANGUAGE and WAH were created as a full length audiovisual experience and are presented in Hyperboloid NFT collection:

@blessed-and-blushing - "The Never Ending Hug" [AD003]

"The never ending hug" is my second EP, I worked again with the generative adversarial network (GAN) called Jukebox AI.

This project is about embracing chaos to grow out of it. Each track could be the soundtrack of an imaginary TV channel. Jukebox AI produces complex music that feels overwhelming, it helped me to create something between euphoria and hysteria. All the repetitive loops evoke a party that would never end and a hug that would never end."

The Never Ending Hug

Blessed and blushing - When The Summer Ends (Slowed)

Returning to World Canvas after his previous work ‘Distilled’ in 2020, Comastasis (Markus Kauppi) presents his latest piece of music ‘Photoantithesis, Concerto For Petromodernity’. In the vein of his conceptual approach to compositional practice ‘Photoantithesis’ follows and engages with theoretically informed themes of oil and its ontology, the way a contemporary fossil subject is to great extent determined by oil and its flow within societies.
Additionally, the release draws inspiration and thematic outlines from the ongoing eco catastrophe and a historical materialism and new materialism related ideas about limitations of human agency (in terms of making history), where ideology and philosophical abstractions are outlined by material conditions, flowing from the outside in.

Through its compositional properties, ‘Photoantithesis’ utilises an arbitrarily moving feedback loops, stochastic synthesiser patterns and improvised noise and vocal passages. These elements, which present themselves throughout the course of the work function as embedded layers which communicate with an ever-present dark sound of a murmuring, oily surge. Over the course of its 9 tracks, the release drifts between drones, soundscapes and beats, balancing between explorative and occasionally conventional, at points reminiscent of Comastasis’ most recent club music -inclined work, ‘Ross 308’ on the Italian label paynomindtous.

As a “photoantithesis”, the album addresses a question about reversed photosynthesis, where once photosynthesised forms of energy are currently being released via exploitative practices which are destroying the habitable conditions of each and every living creature and organism.

Comastasis - Photoantithesis

Absurd TRAX w/ Annika Zee - 29/09/2022

For the 50th ethereal mix we’ve invited Shayu — Zurich-based composer, musician and interdisciplinary artist. She has co-initiated numerous short films, with projects for Dazed&Confused and various pieces with contemporary and ballet dancers.

Besides self-releases she presented tracks via Circadian Rhythms or Coyote Records (UK). Also this November she presented the EP “Azarae” recorded under the eponymous alias with Chemist, the member of Silk Road Assassins. 

The artist is interested in the juxtaposition of her soundscapes with her abstract and digital paintings, trying to find ways to merge them together.
