katharsis w/ jjjacob & Happy New Tears on Ma3azef.live (September 2nd, 2021)

@jsliwa
"Starseed Child" is the second release from the Copenhagen-based duo J Sliwa consisting of artists lighyer and jjjacob. The EP is a new direction for the duo as it engages with a more dreamy and emotional expression of sound by means of including hyperpop melodies, reverbed autotune vocals and uncanny sound effects. This transformation in style was inspired by alien encounters, psychedelic journeys and the current situation we as humans stand in and before. The alienation and isolation brought on by the global pandemic inspired the duo to look inward and engage with their affective landscapes artistically, giving them hope and grounding in times of challenge and intense complexity.

This EP is the only release from the duo in the last two years since their debut EP on THRDEYEVSN "Eternal Now", described as a melancholic dream trance excursion into the ecstatic europop and gothic dance of the 00s. Their debut EP "Eternal Now" received attention from media platforms such as Resident Advisor and AQNB, which led to bookings by crews Sutra Club (Belgrade) and Soul Feeder (Milan). Apart from this, the duo has recently made contributions to compilations from labels Rhizome, kepasaparadoks and katharsis.

"Starseed Child" will be released on the 22nd of November through jjjacob's label katharsis, including an exquisite video for the track "Angels of Love" made by the talented Morph-affiliated CGI-duo Organs named they like you.

E B U (@e_b_u) is the solo music project of Bristol based artist Ella Paine. Her debut album 'Hinge' released on NoCorner in 2019 received critical acclaim; "A bold amalgam of avant-garde electronics, droning ambient and ultra-leftfield r'n'b" (Bleep). E B U's dynamic live show has also garnered high praise, "Disorientating, dissonant, but wonderfully compelling" as reported by Wire. With a strong repertoire of gigs under her belt, sharing the stage with the likes of Wolf Eyes, Moor Mother, Tami T, Oli XL and playing events such as BBC 6 Music Festival and London's Cafe Oto, her unique sound comfortably traverses genres and settings. E B U has hosted radio shows on Noods and 1020 with tracks being played out on NTS, Balamii and BBC 6 Music. A Boiler Room documentary called 'Keep Bristol Weird' focussed on key acts defining Bristol's current music scene, which featured E B U alongside Hodge, Giant Swan, Young Echo and many more. With other releases on Howling Owl and a recent collaboration with Mun Sing on Illegal Data, Paine is currently writing new material, which sees her music incorporate a more software driven contemporary club sound.

S†ILL,

Música e arte experimental. A partir de um instrumento, caseiro ou mais precisamente, uma “gambiarra”, em português brasileiro, St Celfer produz uma música a partir da captura de sons do ambiente por meio de um microfone interconectado ao equipamento. Com isso cria uma futura máquina que combina partes musicais redundantes ou reaproveitadas, sendo capaz de gerar as mais complexas estruturas de improvisação. O som é amalgamado e reproduzido pelo Step.4D , isso gera uma performance sonora intrigante e contagiante.

A abertura fica por conta de evandroNicolau com “Paisagens Eletrônicas” que é uma performance que usa instrumentos musicais, pedais de repetição e distorção, bases rítmicas e sonoras pré-gravadas, misturadas a vocalizações poéticas que desenham uma paisagem sonora psicodélica a partir do clima do momento.A interação de som, imagens projetadas e desenhos feitos ao vivo complementam a cena. Inspirada pelo jazz, em seu conceito de improvisação e criação espontânea, a música orgânica misturada com equipamentos elétricos e eletrônicos abre um diálogo com a inteligência artificial.

Aural Soundmeet Improvisação final - St Celfer & evandroNicolau
Encontro sonoro entre os artistas onde integrarão os instrumentos produzindo um concerto espontâneo e energético com a plateia.

St Celfer
St Celfer é um multiartista de origem coreana e americana que vive atualmente entre São Paulo e Seattle. Admirador do grunge de Seattle, esteve na cena nova-iorquina dos anos 2000 se apresentando, entre outros lugares, em CBGB, The Kitchen, Tonic, The Tank, Remote Lounge, Galapagos Art Space, Sputnik e Stinger Club.
Em 2018 veio ao Brasil expor “Space Between Points” (“Espaço Entre Pontos”), série de desenhos que fez parte da exposição “Memorial do Desenho” no Museu de Arte Contemporânea da USP. Durante sua mais recente jornada artística exploratória, desenvolveu a obra "Ruído entre pixels” (“noise in between pixels”). O artista vem passar uma temporada em São Paulo e no Espaço Garganta irá apresentar seu mais recente trabalho em música e arte experimental. A partir de um instrumento, caseiro ou mais precisamente, uma “gambiarra”, em português brasileiro, produz uma música a partir da captura de sons do ambiente por meio de um microfone interconectado ao equipamento. Com isso cria uma futura máquina que combina partes musicais redundantes ou reaproveitadas, sendo capaz de gerar as mais complexas estruturas de improvisação. O som é amalgamado e reproduzido pelo Step.4D , isso gera uma performance sonora intrigante e contagiante.

evandroNicolau
Artista das linguagens e das artes todas. Em busca de colaborar para um mundo livre, saudável e são! Apresenta “Paisagens Eletrônicas” que é uma performance que usa instrumentos musicais, pedais de repetição e distorção, bases rítmicas e sonoras pré-gravadas, misturadas a vocalizações poéticas que desenham uma paisagem sonora psicodélica a partir do clima do momento.A interação de som, imagens projetadas e desenhos feitos ao vivo complementam a cena. Inspirada pelo jazz, em seu conceito de improvisação e criação espontânea, a música orgânica misturada com equipamentos elétricos e eletrônicos abre um diálogo com a inteligência artificial.
A proposta provoca no espectador um estado reflexivo que, ao ir percebendo a montagem musical, imerge em uma vibração sonora que conduz a estados mentais imaginativos. Ao mostrar a experiência da criação ao vivo revela-se o processo de testar combinações que se tornam música, composição e arte.

@benedictemusic - When It Binds

(BBR020)

When It Binds is a collection of songs composed over the last 3 years, and serves as Bénédicte’s personal exploration of what happens after an emotional connection is established with someone. How does this change who we are? How are our emotional landscapes altered with this new form of inter-subjectivity? Each song on the album is a different and searching sonic interpretation of these questions and a response to ever-changing emotional shifts.

Bénédicte is the musical project of Montreal-based producer and sound artist Maxime Gordon. Bénédicte’s music is a study of restrained feeling, containing soaring synths within a landscape that is strictly minimalist. She distorts field-recordings and vocal samples, splicing the human and familiar with the unnatural.
