j’ai un goût de perdu dans la bouche

As a producer, Lamin Fofana makes ambient music that makes you think. His painterly compositions may be beatless, but they're full of movement, expanding and contracting from modulations and shifting frequencies to create a sense of infinite vastness. This immensity of sound creates a cerebral mood, allowing the Sierra Leone-born talent to explore sociocultural issues close to his heart, like the geographies of the African diaspora and what he calls Western rationality in music.

He translates this heavy subject matter into textural sound using narrative structure, field recordings and archival material. The final product could be an album or an audio-based installation. Rooted in themes of identity and belonging, his exhibitions seek to disorient the senses and have been shown around Europe, including the Biennial in Venice and Liverpool.

On his RA Podcast, the New York-based artist presents an all-original mix of loopy techno that mirrors the dynamism of his ambient productions. Laced with acid and pulsing synths, these cuts are faster paced and geared for dance floors, but they share the atmospheric touch of his earlier work. Based on the interview below, it seems like we'll be seeing more of this side of him in the year ahead.

There was a problem with the recorder that caused a second-long dropout in the left channel every 20 seconds. I did a manual fix by copying over the audio from the right channel to fill the gaps; IMO it's almost unnoticeable, unless you're listening for it. I also did a more elaborate fix that papers over those moments, BUT the mix ended up losing some dynamics and stereo separation. I prefer the one uploaded here, but if you find the glitches too distracting, you can download the other version from the link below.

Marionette Records label boss Ali Safi aka @grimwig contributes a truly stunning mix of some of his favourite recent releases as well as upcoming material from the label.

“All this music means a lot to me and been listening to it quite a bit in the last couple of years - some of it on Marionette (released/upcoming) and some by artists I truly admire. It's all associated with strong visuals and personal memories - I travelled to quite a few places listening to this and it takes me back to the Scandinavian fauna and flora and the Canadian Rockies. I think of this music as quite vivid in general - like rushing through a gallery of expressionistic paintings."

Starting off with an exert from Louise Landes Levi’s IKIRU album from 2018 expressing bravery and wonder of the monarch butterfly species on the verge of endangerment, we travel through Richard Scott and Guiseppe Ielasi’s electroacoustic compositions to the closing track from Ernest Hood’s recently reissued visceral voyage “Neighbourhoods”. From here we are rewarded an insight into the upcoming releases from Ali’s @marionettelabel as well as a cut from Benjamin Kilchhofer and Michael Anklin’s 2019 release Moto Perpetuo. Later on, we hear Kali Malone’s Spectacle of Ritual fall behind waves of Cluster’s classic 81’ release Curiosum. A breathtaking sonic journey that instantly demands another listen.
