Title : Another fine mess
Quote : Take the risk or loose the chance.

—————

For this episode of Solco we invited Mattia Prete, DJ and live performer based in Berlin.

His mind and music are lost in cinematic worlds where the free nature of jazz and the hypnotic repetition of techno trap you in the moment. He is always searching for deep connections to the mind, body and spirit, and as such is one of the most vital artists in avant-garde electronica.

In the German techno capital, he runs his own party ‘This is Techno Jazz’, has his own studio ‘Garden 505’ and runs two forward-looking labels: aurora. which builds bridges between scenes and sounds from all over Europe, and jazz-o-tech, which fuses jazz experimentation with techno soul in fresh new sounds.

As a DJ, Prete prepares meditative and hypnotic atmospheres, always built on strongly propulsive grooves. He has a wide sound and uses silence as a tool to increase the dynamics of his music.

Blue Boss (Mystic State Flip) [Free Download, Thanks for 6k]

The latest installment in the Booms and Claps mix series comes to us from a British duo who we've had our eyes on for a few years now: the collaborative project of Will Marquiss & Mike Holliday AKA Mystic State. It's hard to put these two in a box, with influences ranging from drum and bass and jungle to hip-hop and R&B down to dubstep and garage, but with an impressive list of label affiliations including J:Kenzo's Artikal Music and uptempo titans like Flexout Audio and Halogen Music, their unique and clean production style clearly rings true whatever the genre. We first took notice of Mystic State several years back with their vibey footwork-adjacent beat "808 Gravediggin'" on the aforementioned Halogen Music, and since then, we've seen them release everything from meditative 140bpm stompers to chunky hip-hop beats that you would probably catch on Noisia Radio. Although both members hail from the Bristol area, they're now split internationally, with Will in Calgary, AB (We sure do love our neighbors to the North!) and Mike still in the UK, so expect to see more North American appearances from Mystic State soon! We're very excited to welcome them to the mix series, and without further ado, we're proud to present BnC Mix 045: Mystic State.

While we cannot see small nanoscopic objects like proteins or other molecules that make up virtually all living matter including our cells, tissues, as well as pathogens such as viruses, our computational algorithm allows us to make its material manifestation audible.  This piece is a musical representation of the amino acid sequence and structure of the spike protein of the pathogen of COVID-19, 2019-nCoV (protein data bank identifier 6VSB [1]). 

MUSICAL DECEIT

A virus’ genome hijacks the host cell’s protein manufacturing machinery, and forces it to replicate the viral genome and produce viral proteins to make new viruses from it.  This musical art teaches us something about the fine line between beauty of life and death as an opposite pole.  As you listen to the protein you will find that the intricate design results in incredibly interesting and actually pleasing, relaxing sounds. This doesn’t really convey the deadly impacts this particularly protein is having on the world. This aspect of the music shows the deceiving nature of the virus, how it hijacks our body to replicate, and hurt us along the way. So, the music is a metaphor for this nature of the virus to deceive the host and exploit it for its own multiplication. 

HOW IT IS DONE: 

What you hear is a multi-layered algorithmic composition featuring both the vibrational spectrum of the entire protein (expressed in sound and rhythmic elements), the sequence and folding of amino acids that compose the virus spike structure, as well as interwoven melodies - forming counterpoint music - reflecting the complex hierarchical intersecting geometry of the protein [2].

Jazz-O-Tech and @monument-podcast introduce a refreshing live streaming from the Berlin-based artists Mattia Prete, Daniel Calvi, and Leonie Freudenberger.

The trio debuted through a live performance where electronic drums, synths, guitar, and saxophone will meet together to create a new genre that draws on the rich heritage of two of the most visionary and experimental genres in music: jazz and techno.

The Berlin/Milan based label takes inspiration from the freeform creative nature of those two musical worlds and manifests it by putting together jazz musicians with techno producers. Each artist then shares, learns, and creates with a new set of influences and reference points. The thrilling result is genre-blurring new music as well as exciting new live shows that head in bold yet playful new directions. 

The live event will be streamed through:
