IM093 - @soft-matter - Hyle
Label: Infinite Machine
Release Date: August 27th, 2021
Format: Digital

Having unleashed music from producers spanning multiple continents in 2021; (from China to Hungary to Mexico to Greece...), Infinite Machine is poised to release the sophomore EP from the Moscow-via-Montreal producer Softmatter - entitled Hyle. Anna Pavlova, aka Softmatter, is an artist and vocalist whose output is characterised by twisted and distorted electronics, heavy-hitting drumwork and mutant vocal samples. With a keen interest in post-human theory, neuroscience and quantum physics; her musical practice explores the fluidity and uncertainty of experience and perception. In Anna’s own words “When I begin the creative process without expectations and embracing uncertainty, I get results that represent me the most.”

Hyle EP opens up with Levity, a track that’s equal parts unnerving and beautiful. Underpinned by bassy snarls and percussion that clicks and whirrs like a demonic ticking clock, Softmatter delivers lyrics (in both English and Russian) that revolve around self-acceptance and a refusal to let the judgements of others affect this self-conception. “Throw your shade if that’s your thing while I am moving freely. Don’t be so sure your expectations carry little weight here.” The icey, affected vocals and the densely layered beat they glide over on Levity seem to acutely pair up Softmatter’s love of both witch house artists like Salem and contemporary innovators like Fatima Al Qadiri and Aisha Devi. Whilst these references are very much on display, Levity still sounds utterly unique and sees Softmatter operating in her own lane.

Whilst the vocals on Levity are basically another layer of sound design in the mix, Softmatter’s voice takes centre stage on the following track, Morphe. The tracks refrain (“Reaching a new high, blood rushing through my vessels”) seems to tap into the euphoria depicted on the EP’s artwork, where we see a light-carrier bringing illumination into the uncertain darkness, providing realignment and acceptance to self. Woven in-between these pitched vocals is a driving, deconstructed beat full of idiosyncratic sonic surprises.

Rounding off Hyle EP, Who Am I 2 U is a ferocious and moody track whose intensity grows and swells over it’s duration. A nightmarish array of guttural samples and snatched synths groan whilst Softmatter sings of how we perceive and connect to each other as individuals; “Am I means to your goals or you see me as an equal? Who am I to you?”

Jumping from rigidity to fluidity, from otherness to unity, from controlling the immaterial to dancing with uncertainty; Softmatter’s Hyle EP packs a mighty punch built on an intriguing conceptual framework and crammed full of bold musical ideas.

The 17th release of katharsis is the EP “Digital Séance” by Australian artist Sugar Ross. The album was created in the period of harsh lockdown due to the pandemic situation in Australia, which influenced the artist in various directions both in terms of the methodological and the thematic approach to composing, resulting in a unique style of experimental ambient music. Comprising of six tracks, the release is framed by the conceptual approach of exclusively consisting of heavily manipulated samples recorded directly from digital and analogue radio. 

This conceptual approach of repurposing audio material from radio signals speaks directly into the theme of cyclicality in all life, matter and existence, described in Buddhism as Samsara. Simultaneously, the methodology was inspired by the parapsychological concept of the electronic voice phenomenon, which is the idea that electronic sound recordings of noise and static can be used as a method of identifying supernatural entities. Finally, the artist was living in an area of hard rubbish collection during this harsh lockdown, which gave further inspirations from waste culture and the idea of recycling.

We welcome, Athens based artists, @Ice_Eyes to ANBA with their stellar release 'Intolerant Skin'.

Ice_Eyes - "Intolerant Skin is a primordial transformation of body and soul to a new existence. This is a metaphor of sounds changing color, shape, texture, mimicking the adaptation of micro-organisms in extreme environments of temperatures, density, concentrations, and dirt. Rejecting its core characteristics, gender or genre, this creature craves for an unmapped transformation by tearing apart its own skin from inside.

Our love to Carina, Stefan, 1127, and to all Cairo Fam"
