NTS Radio - Ikr. Imprint w/ Zaumne  (12.05.21)

Swedish electro acoustic composer and experimentalist Maria W Horn presents a careful study of her current influences, embedded in folklore, mythology, and ritual.

Far-ranging, immersive, and nostalgic. The steering ship is falling apart, yards wide
The mussels, in the floorboards that they’ve made their home, are crying out
We can see the smoke signals from here

Outhouse Mix: Maria W Horn

Artist: Jan Jelinek
Title: SEASCAPE - polyptych (OST)
Cat#: faitiche 31
Release: April 28th 2023
Format: LP/DL

One of the most notorious hatemongers in movie history is Captain Ahab from John Huston’s 1956 classic Moby Dick. His manic monologues cast a spell on generations of viewers. Berlin based musician and sound artist Jan Jelinek has now turned the voice of Ahab into a musical instrument.

Faitiche presents Jan Jelinek's soundtrack for SEASCAPE – polyptych, an audio-visual software developed in collaboration with Canadian new media artist Clive Holden in 2022.
SEASCAPE – polyptych is based on image and acoustic source material from Moby Dick. While Holden works on manipulating film sequences, the voice of Ahab plays a central role in Jan Jelinek’s soundtrack. The dynamic volume and tone of the captain's speech control a synthesizer system that turns Ahabs voice into ten abstract soundscapes.

In this production the voice gives the impulse and controls things but is not the sound of spoken word itself that we hear. Only occasionally can snippets of speech be heard so that syllables or sounds are recognisable. Instead we hear compositions made of hissing, soundscapes and eruptive sounds. The atmosphere is dark and sinister. Still every piece has a clear sonic structure and follows an understandable dramatic composition. This music is abstract but not overwhelming. Quite the opposite, SEASCAPE – polyptych is an invitation to listeners to let themselves be carried by the stream of sonic events.
 
Although part of a media art work, the soundtrack can be enjoyed without any of this connecting superstructure. It works with no previous knowledge. But what happens when one does know that it’s the sonic waves of a human voice that is controlling a network of synthesizers?

If you want to hear Ahab, you will hear a choir of Ahabs in every piece of sound. The subliminal threatening as well as the conjuring Ahab. Finally the Ahab who whips up his crew and tears them with him into their downfall. The majestic „on the quay now, waiting and watching“, the oppressive “drawn towards the whirlpools center” - they are all music as well as sonic discourse.

Spiders are affected by vibration in various ways. They use their orb webs to transmit and detect vibrational information, allowing them to sense potential prey or mates, as well as abiotic sources like wind.

Under stones and human detritus, in subterranean realms, lives troglodytic species of spider Nothophantes horridus. Nocturnally roaming in narrow fissures in this rich limestone habitat sporadically emerging. A UK biodiversity Action plan priority species, extremely rare and only exist in these two places in the world (both in Plymouth UK).
This rare arachnid  last home was a quarry, filled in with concrete and destroyed to make space for luxury unaffordable housing.

Planning permission was refused for this site in 2015, however the property developer is trying again with greenwashing plans for eco pods and activity park treating the natural world as a spectacle to be consumed and extracted from. Will this refuge for extremely rare spiders exist for much longer? Or will human greed and commerce make this spider extinct?

Failure to protect this site would be catastrophic.

A more than human space between the world that people and arachnids inhabit.

The album begins with a reminiscence of the sea, reverberating waves and suspended echoes of distant, almost forgotten territories. Curved vibrations, nocturnal environments mixed with contemporary research attitudes within the world of liminal/drone music. Oblique surfaces bending in the transposition of azimuth, memory and flow becoming the result of a hypothetical jump. A plastic and interpretative configuration of a body movement, the desire to grow consciously via unresolved mimesis, compendiums of intuitive constellations, deep white light meditation.

Angel Bat Dawid is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and educator based in Chicago. A key figure in the city’s jazz scene and a significant voice against racial discrimination, she has worked with artists like Marshall Allen and Makaya McCraven. Drawing inspiration from the poetry of Margaret Burroughs, the music of Yusef Lateef, and even Mozart, her work spans genres including free jazz, gospel, avant-garde, and hip-hop.

Mabe Fratti is a cellist and composer from Guatemala, now residing in Mexico. Influenced by contemporary classical composer Gyorgy Ligeti and cellist Jacqueline du Pré, her diverse musical journey includes collaborations across progressive metal, krautrock, dream pop, and jazz. Fratti uses cello, voice, and synthesizers to create sound installations, compositions, and free improvisations.

CS & Kreme is a musical duo consisting of Conrad Standish and Sam Karmel, based in Melbourne. Their music transcends style and space, blending heavy dub processing, sweeping post-punk, and chamber music soundscapes into what they describe as ​“horizontal music.” Both seasoned musicians, Standish and Karmel have a rich history of collaborations in successful experimental groups such as F ingers and Bum Creek.
