Where we were falling, in a momentous spectrum
Every surface there concealed something once visible
Where the walls were coloured like the past life
You are there now, present in absence
Where we picked ourselves up from the soil we touched
Gathered ornaments from undisclosed fantasies emerged

‘alma blindada’ is an album about human violence as a force of nature. of the geographic and cultural entropy caused by people and their lives and their toil and their pursuit of money and power and joy.

we came to this via heavily following border war and cartel violence news/corrido lore, the power vacuums, the cannibalization of heroes and villains and how who’s who morphs depending on what side you’re rooting for or what area you’re from. we knew we wanted full unironic corridos, we knew we wanted songs and not just world building exercises.

alma blindada means like armored soul, or bulletproof spirit, and for us this is a phrase of reverence of the vast spectrum of potentiality within each person, to enrich or destroy, to tear down or build up. but ‘blindado’ is also maña slang for a ‘protected’ person. so it fit in with the feeling we were trying to convey. of finding the brutal poignancy of the beheading video or the in jokes in the foot soldiers’ wartime loyalty twitter rant. of remaining friends and riders after passing thru the ringer of war, spiritual or physical. the war of the every day, the high stakes of living and working and making your life on the 3.7 million mile wide sacrificial altar they call america.

alma blindada is out on halcyon veil on july 26, 2024

Keru Not Ever - Mezzanine
Label: Infinite Machine
CAT#: IM115
Format: Digital
Release Date: December 20th
Mastered by Fausto Mercier

Words by Keru Not Ever.

Mezzanine is an album of post-classical music. The twelve pieces that make it up are attempts to take the raw materials of instrumental music, dip them in mud, and turn them into shimmering confetti. Flutes, violins, clarinets, voices, cellos, piano, bass—these elements are all there, woven together through a mixture of hyper-sampling and recording, creating a chamber music without walls, without windows, suspended in stagnant air and multicolored dust. The conductor lies in bed, sheets pulled up to his shoulders.

Modeled on human breath, the pieces highlight the phenomena of loops and feedback, as though each time a theme is voiced, it must be repeated, insisted upon, until something else — a counter-melody — emerges to disrupt it. This is clear from the very first piece, Requiem Caesura, which functions like the tuning of a small orchestra, seemingly deaf to itself. Then come, to name just a few, the shimmering wind arrangements of Ghisolabella, the pulsing glissandi of the solo bass in Mezzanine, and, finally, the epilogue, Harmonies de la brûlure, a tableau of slow-moving harmonic ashes.

This album took a long time to create, the time it took to free myself from Tereza and The Wind Of? — old, forgotten music. Whether that time was worth it, that is, the doubt in which every melody is born, I can’t say. What composes is always next to myself, an extimacy. But it's a leap in time, an interval of a few years, a leap based on certain musical ruins, anonymous shreds twisted in the throes of a pandemic, in the love and joys, the sudden lights striking the blind spots of a body. These are companion pieces produced from the detritus of history. They hold out a cold hand to those who lend an ear.

Drawdown

Riccardo La Foresta - Drawdown [OOH-042]

Despite its conceptual framework, there's a mischievous playfulness lurking beneath the surface of van Herpen's latest sonic investigation. Drawing from extremely reduced free jazz and skeletal compositional structures, Derivatives presents pairs of pieces that exist in dual states: "Sources" - electronic and electro-acoustic compositions that serve as germinal materials - and their "Derivatives" - transformed through a process that's both rigorous and playful.

The methodology itself hints at van Herpen's sly approach to experimental music. Each Derivative emerges through a series of solo improvisations, recording one instrument at a time in response to a source's characteristics, but deliberately isolated from previous takes. When these responses are finally combined, with their inspirational Source removed, the result is a phantom ensemble performance that manages to be both deeply experimental and quietly humorous in its unlikely instrumental conversations.

This playful deconstruction of group dynamics yields music that's refreshingly unpretentious despite its experimental pedigree. Van Herpen's multiple instrumental personas interact in ways that subvert expectations, creating unconventional combinations that challenge traditional approaches to space, sound, and noise while maintaining an undercurrent of subtle wit.

The album becomes a kind of musical puzzle box, inviting listeners to match Sources with their Derivatives while experiencing how reduced electronic structures can birth organic, breathing improvisations that dance between the serious and the joyous.
