Lyrics
Afterimage of sadness mode
Never-ending our childhood
I wanted to stay there forever
That must have been the last sanctuary

I want to be a fish swimming in your room
We always repeat the worst
And we're going to Purgatory
And we're going to Purgatory…

The wind is getting colder, it's your favorite season
I'm extravagant, even though the glow is
just for a moment and it's lovely
That moment you looked at me,
I would have had a lifetime of light
Let's just blame it all on the season
and forget, forget about it

The skyscraper of salvation
cannot be reached,
Reality is always merciless
Give me ya, give me salvation

Hijack the roof of a building
Smash the noisy machines
Silenced telefaxes, graduation
from the rule of the almighty

I saw you, pale and luminous　
High-speed ringing strobe
Thousands of transistors
And I prayed, and I prayed ya

I fell in love with you,
when I saw you dancing
I'll rewrite your dark memories
And I’ll pray, and I’ll pray

I saw you, pale and luminous　
High-speed ringing strobe
Thousands of transistors
And I prayed, and I prayed ya

I fell in love with you,
when I saw you dancing
I'll rewrite your dark memories
And I’ll pray, and I’ll pray ya

luminescence (Kazuki Koga Remix)

These three pieces mark the first offering from NPNP Trio coming out on Personal Records on September 25th.  

NPNP Trio are Jackson Darby (modular synthesizer, electronics) , Evelyn Charlotte Joe (drums) and James Goddard (saxophone mbira)

Produced/mixed by Jackson Darby
Mastered by Aaron Hutchinson 


Words from Destiny Rosenberg 
The NPNP trio brings together three musicians who hold not only dear places in my heart & musical path, but also in the many creative communities they animate and interconnect. While the trio bears the emblem of composer and leader Jackson Darby’s solo work, it is undeniably a meeting of minds and individual voices that generates its deeply moving music of ecstatic, embodied meditation.

Darby’s immersive and ever-evolving practice with modular synthesis, tape and modern electronic instruments forms the bellows of the group’s sound. Through sheets of warm drone, cascades of percussive, patchwork synth or nearly unrecognizable manipulated recordings of instruments, Jackson’s sound is central to the compositions as the base layers on the canvas are to a painting. He crafts an abundant sonic space for the players to meet in – each at the pace of their own breath and reflex.

Evelyn Charlotte Jo’s impeccable sense of pulse and expressive phrasing at the drum kit simultaneously anchors and propels group improvisation through the absorbing dronescapes. One has the acute sense of free falling at a comfortable velocity as leaves & branches lightly, sporadically make contact at entirely natural though completely unpredictable intervals. Jo is an interpreter with stick and brush, delivering up-to-the-second transcriptions of complex cosmic information as they spot it in the matrix.

James Goddard’s plaintive saxophone intoning can glisten atop the shimmering pane of synthesizer harmonics and rumbling percussion as though time has stopped before his bursts of lyrical cataclysm send compositions into new, unforeseen avenues. His mbira playing evokes a music box winding up and down as though it were the clock guts of the half mechanical half living breathing organism that is the NPNP Trio.

The Trio’s sound – meeting somewhere between Don Cherry’s Organic Music Society and Steve Roach’s transcendent long-form desert drones – is nothing less than that of three wholly actualized players absolutely possessed by the coming together of their practices. One can hear their shared radical joy of exploration, what a pleasure it is for them to carve a moment in time together and how little they ever want it to end.

Cette semaine schisme.s tombe dans le côté avant-pop baroque de l’iconoclaste Joni Void (@joni_void) aka Jean Néant fka johnny_ripper. Connu d’abord pour ses collages épineux, il s’est imposé depuis quelques années comme un des polymathes les plus prolifiques de la scène montréalaise, notamment avec ses collaborations avec N NAO, Maya Kuroki, @sarahpageharp (Page Vide) et plusieurs autres sous l’égide de sa plateforme Everyday Ago. Il nous présente aujourd’hui une brochette de la musique qui l’a accompagné lors de sa tournée japonaise en juillet dernier, incluant plusieurs artistes avec qui il a eu la chance de jouer.

schisme.s vol. 3 - Joni Void

Aujourd’hui nous avons droit à un joli fracas de la part de @leonlouder, grand spécialiste du maniement des fragments rythmés. Sa carrière recoupe presque parfaitement celle de Schizophrénie, avec un premier EP paru en 2003. Depuis, il n’a jamais cessé de faire paraître des simples, remix et collaborations sous son nom ou sous son pseudonyme Vertigo Inc. Son dernier né, Entomophonie (paru en septembre 2023), une commission de l’Insectarium de Montréal, est composé uniquement de sons d’insectes. Il a également mis la main à la pâte en mettant en place l’étiquette @unfulfillment, faisant paraître les disques de plusieurs artistes partageant son esthétique parfois abrasive, notamment les montréalais Bouche Première et @oacem, ainsi que l’ottavien Classics of Form. Il nous présente ici un mélange de son matériel (incluant plusieurs inédits), celui de ses amis et “other stuff I like”, mais l’ensemble est incontestablement du Leon Louder.

schisme.s vol. 10 - Leon Louder

Obstinacy Does Not Redeem Anyone is the second track in Hate Devours Its Host, a brand new full-length by Valance Drakes, and its third for Amek. Pre-order up here until September 29: https://amekcollective.bandcamp.com/album/hate-devours-its-host

Four years lay between An Angel In Alliance With Falsehood and Hate Devours Its Host, Valance Drakes’s brand new full-length for Amek Collective. This deeply personal record sets the producer on yet another path of narrative-driven musical alchemy. Without a doubt, Hate Devours Its Host is Valance Drakes’ most atmospheric work to date. Multilayered ambient soundscapes and spiraling melodic debris are used not as a backdrop but as the backbone of the record. The producer's signature intricate rhythmic structures, subterranean basslines, and hypnotizing sample manipulation are entangled in this drifting sonic environment. All these elements become an inseparable and emotionally intense whole.

We watched this album grow and unfold. As with all things Valance Drakes, the music in Hate Devours Its Host seems that it can be experienced in a breath but truly grasping everything that lies within requires patience and attention to detail. All elements in Hate Devours Its Host are carefully considered, meticulously organized, and purposeful. This full-length is another showcase not just of Drakes' sound design and compositional craftsmanship but an honest representation of life as beautiful or punishing as it can get.
