this is wait
this is i did not know they made smoke like ocean
this is aluminum dusk and sulphur clouds
this is sabah el kheir
morning of luck
morning of cinder
this is steam and ruin and flash-lit bodies
this is counting your lost
this is losing count
this is man greets dawn with head tilted back
this is man greets dawn with shrapnel
this is i cannot count fast enough
sam7ini

this is daughter
this is i am half yours
half light thrust, midwifed from some candle
this is some parallel life where my
father’s father took a left,
grabbed a fistful of soil and instead of leaving,
stayed

this is diaspora
this is always through the television screen
this is always the wrong question
this is five other coastlines
this is gutless
this is don’t change the channel
the least you can do is watch
this is diaspora
this is carry your name in bangkok
carry your name in brooklyn
this is wrecking ball of compass

this is wait
this is i did not know they made sky so famished
this is metal,
reincarnation of metal,
of children limp grey dust beneath
buckled buildings
this is sky of knives
this is body is not body but silhouette ribcage
and shallow graves
this is history

this is i did not know this earth had jaw
enough to hold all the things your children 
have dropped
this is village
this is village eats ash for a week
this is Allah
this is boys terrace bones for luck
this is girls press flowers for luck
this is what luck is it to survive one bullet
for another
this is black water and phosphorus fish
this is lost electricity
this is hands muddy from sifting through rubble
this is hands muddy for anything breathing
this is seven types of illness
this is rage is bread if it keeps you alive

this is Allah ou akbar
pray with both hands
this is hands and cathedral bones,
dirt in eyelash
this is teeth and teeth and teeth for months

this is daughter
this is carry your name in throat
carry your name in beirut
this is not gun
this is not missile
this is make the world say your name aloud
over Gaza and over Gaza and over Gaza
until they hear your music
because this is survived

this is you are loved
light spans for you over land and sea
and you are in the mouth of tripoli shoreline 
and boston nightclub and paris street corner
this is voice too soft sam7eena
this is sam7eena

this is daughter
lamplight reciting of Fatiha
this is wait and atlas
and keep waiting as some thread stretches 
gossamer thin across ocean
this is compass finding east
voice learning to rise
this is half yours
this is daughter
and we will carry your name everywhere

JAMES K
"ELEKTRA (Scream Through the Eyes of a Statue)"
CD in jewel case w OBI strip
Edition of 250
Release 19.01.2024

“Why is female sound bad to hear?” - Anne Carson

ELEKTRA (Scream Through the Eyes of a Statue), is a multimedia performance broadly conceptualizing the female voice as an “X-ray to the bones of sound.” It was commissioned by Issue Project Room and performed April 26th, 2018 in Brooklyn, New York.  Taking poet, essayist, and Classics professor Anne Carson’s translation of Sophocles’ tragic play Elektra as a point of departure, James K monstrously externalizes the inner sonic world of female vocalization through a scored collaborative framework interpreting each of Elektra’s “screams” in the Greek tragedy.

The piece develops unique methods of screaming through musical and non-musical objects -- performed through manipulated text, videos, and live contributions from James K (voice, electronics, violin, video) Brooklyn-based musician Eve Essex (alto saxophone, various winds and electronics), electronic producer and performer Dylan Shir (electronics), composer and cellist Leila Bordreuil (cello), and poet/artist Eli V Manuscript (textual alchemy, projections).

Within this collaborative framework, James K scores “the scream” to express the various relations between hysteria and the “gender of sound” -- a blurred and overlapping feminine sound defined by its fragmentation and resistance to scripted narrative. Elektra’s presence is emblematic of a radical alienation that occurs as a standing discrepancy to tragic convention. Amongst society, she is the anti-dialogue, a symbol of protest.

‘my cries are wings, they pierce the cage’

Elektra’s vocalizations pierce through language, revealing a shattered interior of multifaceted reflections constructed against habitual linguistic or vocal expression. In tragic convention, such habitual vocalization takes the shape of the often terse, patriarchal voice of the Greek philosopher -- a didactic, conceptual container in opposition to the expressive “becoming” of Elektra’s cries that riot against fixity. As a tragic character, Elektra is radical and alien for Sophocles and his audience -- an ever-present conviction that demonstrates how female shame has constructed a life-size funeral urn around her.

Through translating a text within layers of translations, a fragmentation of the firsthand into traces, James K mirrors Elektra’s deconstruction of reality into siren shards, offering an experiencing of female sign language as a means of sabotage to the world of normal utterances. By sliding on the edge of convention to sharply abandoning rational speech and sonic construction, K’s piece aims to embody Elektra’s strained and stretching screams, as cuts against the glass; her sabotage bound within the blanket loop. In response to rigid vocalization and fixed sonic understandings, ELEKTRA (Scream Through the Eyes of a Statue) takes the scream as an unruly, emotive sonic experience projecting outwards into objects and audience: to the very bones of sound.

This is a live recording of its single performance. Recorded by Bob Bellerue at Issue Project Room in Brooklyn, NY. Mixed by James K. Mastered by Jack Callahan. Performed by James K, Eve Essex, Via App, and Leila Bordreuil. Conceived and scored by James K for four players, and written in collaborative improvisation with the performers. Textual alchemy by Eli V Manuscript. Design and layout by Nicola Tirabasso and James K.

DJ Birdbath - Worry Pit

The initiatory release on the co:clear label is a stunning debut by Brooklyn-based artist, @edenaurelius. Written between Chicago and New York throughout 2023, 'Plateau' is a lacework of chiller dub-techno and ambient sparkle, crafted via recorded material, astute sampling, and live instrumentation. Rounded off with a stellar remix from your favourite ambient boyband (Purelink), this record is one for the serial unwinders.

______________________________________________

"Plateau is a collision, formed over years of change — an elevated plane where land forms an even surface.

Towering above the ground you see the scale of the earth — terrain merging with sky, enfolding on one another.

Seclusion and observation — a timeless vortex where moments stand still and find place in clarity."

— Eden Aurelius
