Ikonika - Praxis (Taken From Position EP 25/08/2014) Hyperdub

Sometime in early 2000 or so, me and Mike P were chilling at his London temporary studio at the time, and anyway, we were smoking a spliff and talking about how awesome my demo was.  I was recording to cassette tape at the time and wanted to show off this cassette player mod I did to record in high-res but keep lush cassette tape overdrive compression (basically a potentiometer and cap mod to up tape speed 10x), and I didn't have any empty tapes on me.  So he hands me an old tape labelled "Old shit", which he states has nothing on it.  So we record some jams to this tape, nothing is thought of it.  But then I get back home to Tokyo and flip the tape a few months later, and on it, are some tracks from 1982 apparently, because he states so in his blabbering about Doctor Who and some new wave bands.  But this is one track that I thought stood out, and since Mike P has been releasing his old tracks from this time, I thought he wouldn't mind if I uploaded this gem from 1982.  Hasty Boom Alert, the origins.  Enjoy!

LYRICS (copyright 10 y.o. Mike P):

ooo, life is such a bore
when you have to go to school
and you’re awoken in the morn
by the hasty boom alert

that alarm clock by your head
you would rather be in bed
but you feel like such a fool
cuz you have to go to school

life is such a chore
but i’d rather sleep awhile
and live my dream in style (dream in style, dream in style)
instead of hasty boom alert

that alarm clock by your head
ringing and ringing and ringing
i’d rather be sleeping
but it’s always like…

woo!

***alarm clock hook***

woo woo!  woo!  yeah!  woo!
hasty boom alert no more
i don’t want you no more
i am mike paradinas, and i have the super power to make you go away, yeah!
yeah! woo!  yeah, go away!  yeah!

and i can do so much cool things yeah
woo!

uuuh

that alarm clock by your head
you would rather be in bed
but you feel like such a fool
cuz you have to go to school

that hasty boom alert
when i grow up, um, pretty soon
i’m gonna gonna, gonna
i’ma gonna wake up in the noon time
with no alarm clock by my head

i can live life like i like
and eat marshmallows in the night
no more hasty boom alert

i’ll be so happy in the night and the morning and everyday
i’ll be like
woo! woo! woo! yeah!

***happiness adulthood hook***

hasty boom alert no more
dream in style, dream in style, dream in style


µ-Ziq - Hasty Boom Alert (original 1982 Version)

What brings people together? A common answer to this is, unfortunately, tragedy. Citizens of Kazakhstan’s largest city, Almaty, faced this head on after the murder of Denis Ten, a national icon who won the only Olympic medal for figure skating in his country’s history. He was killed by petty thieves while they tried to steal his car mirrors, in the center of downtown in broad daylight. The entire city mourned his shocking death and commiserated by coming to the place of his murder to process all their emotions about the horrific incident and the systemic issues that allowed it to happen. Several grassroots organizations were formed to shepherd positive change, and the new documentary feature film by Werner Herzog protégé, Katerina Suvorova, follows one such organization, “Oyan Qazaqstan” (meaning “wake up Kazakhstan”). The score is a dance between the delicate and the destructive, feeling on the brink of despair and hope simultaneously. It is up to us which side of such emotions we put our attention towards, and therefore, what destiny we manifest.

From 'Datach'i - Bones' (out on Timesig on July 26th)
https://planetmu.bleepstores.com/release/129760-datachi-bones

Having broken a decade's silence with 2016's 'System', LA-based electronic musician Joseph Fraioli, a.k.a. Datach’i, returns this summer with his eighth album 'Bones'. Released on Venetian Snares' Timesig imprint, 'Bones' features 12 tracks of mind expanding electronica, once again recorded on his custom-built Eurorack modular system.
	
Much like its predecessor, 'Bones' manages to make the most of the possibilities modular systems offer, whilst avoiding their many pitfalls that can often turn such music into little more than a dry academic exercise. Indeed 'Bones' is a remarkably intimate album, written and recorded in the time following his father's death, and reflects this intense period of personal change in Joseph's life. "Creating this music was a therapy of sorts," Joseph recalls. "It was almost like a close friend being there for me, and it's something that I hope others can perhaps utilize in the same way."

The connection to his father is something that is reflected not just in the emotional intensity of 'Bones', but in the actual production itself. "My father and I were very close," he explains. "Whilst he was sick with cancer I bought him a guitar as he wanted to learn how to play, just to have something to do while he was getting treated. After he passed away my mother gave me the guitar to have as a sort of memory of him. I had the idea to record some sounds and music on the guitar and load it onto granular sample players on the modular synth so I could make new music from those sounds as a sort of tribute to my dad. You can hear some of those sounds on a few of the tracks here like 'Arrivals', 'Motion in the Living Room' and 'Undimension'." 

The resulting album grapples with the intensity of these emotions. But for all their weight, tracks like 'Saugerties Road', ‘Rockledge 3A’ and ‘Antumalal’ transform that heaviness into something warm and comforting whilst the aforementioned 'Arrivals' or ‘Wand’ ultimately achieve some kind of escape velocity and soar.

Even though 'Bones' is about endings and finding closure, it also looks forward to new beginnings. "It was something very much on my mind throughout recording this album," he relates, "ends being beginnings and beginnings being the end. Cycles of time and how time works, it's all reflected throughout the album right down to how the tracks are ordered."

Ranging from blissful ambience and guileless, starry eyed melodies, to intricate claustrophobic rhythms that forever sound close to collapsing in on themselves before expanding into bold new patterns, 'Bones' is the work of a producer who, twenty years on from his debut, continues to push the boundaries of electronic music.
