Racine - Quelque Chose Tombe
Cat. Nr: DN016
Format: LP / DL
Release Date: 21 February 2020

Hidden in plain sight, grinning through worry, living in insecurity – modern society has returned to a day-by-day race for survival. To be vulnerable is the new normal; afraid, a bare minimum. Something was bound to emerge from the quiet throngs of the new precariat, and Racine is such a voice, setting to music those modern lives defined by uncertainty.

Quelque Chose Tombe (‘Something Falls’) is a set of compositions that confronts demons both inner and outer head-on. Created during a period of necessary unemployment somewhere in Montreal – caring for one’s health can take precedence over work – the music is both a grotesque dance of the goblins and the gentle opiatic breath of the protectors. It’s a harrowing reflection of the prevalent vampiric hypochondria forcing a generation into fatigue.

The sounds crawling out of Racine speak with their own internal logic. Snippets of fractured tunes creak through perturbed post-digital soundscapes, blurred and fragmented along the way into haunting amorphous instrumentals. The two-part title track is multi-part sonic maze where raven-like pitch bent notes gather, a broken rave theme punctures its way through bass fog, and silence clefts the music in two, ushering in a coda of heartbroken ambience. As the album’s suite progresses, Racine shepherds mutant melodic themes in and out of earshot, like clear thoughts bringing temporary order to a state of emotional panic and withdrawal. A host of other sounds too – voices and birdsong, cybernetically deformed – populate Racine’s scarred productions.

Emerging from Quelque Chose Tombe’s constant darkness however, is a latent sense of hope. Racine is turning modern vulnerability into a strength, creating a singular aesthetic to reflect and confront an uncomfortable present.

Quelque Chose Tombe

Racine - Désordre Baroque

Lastrack for a one-hour musical narration of survival in a world plagued by a mysterious disease turning humans into flesh bag, stripped of any conscience, walking aimlessly to spread the infection, coughing and spitting. The ground is slowly turning into living bio-tissues, carrying more of the deadly micro-organisms. It feels like this new virus is sentient, having something in mind, a grievance against humanity and more importantly, a goal …

stick around for a while 
we all parts of the basis

VOICES CAN BE HEARD 
WHEN THEIR ECHOES COINCIDE 
DOMINANCE CAN BE BLURRED 
WHEN PERSPECTIVE BECOMES WIDE.

What happened to the aspirations of 1990s cyberfeminists to sabotage the Big Daddy Mainframe?

Examining how “technology is both a source and a consequence of gender relations”, ten years after the original term was coined, Judy Wajcman wrote the book TechnoFeminism building on the insights of cyberfeminism.

On the occasion of the publication of Beautiful Warriors in English translation, edited by Cornelia Sollfrank, Mindy Seu, Judy Wajcman and chair Marie Thompson explore contemporary theories and practices of technofeminism. Incorporating ecological, decentralized, economic and intersectional perspectives, they look at how today’s forms of discrimination and exploitation are being responded to by feminist hackers, techno-eco-feminists and others.

This is a recording of a panel discussion at New Suns: A Feminist Literary Festival, held on Saturday 5 October 2019, Barbican Centre.
