"Kalpa (recurring dreams)" is a limited cassette edition and digital release by O C E A N I 
oceani.bandcamp.com 

The EP, born from the collaboration between sound artist Abo Abo and the musical collective La Licorice, features three reworks of original tracks from the collective's debut album “Dialoghi difficili (automatic behaviors)”, where Abo Abo reinterprets and manipulates La Licorice's materials through various sound synthesis and processing approaches. 

The process of deconstruction and reconstruction gives new form to the elements, resulting in fresh compositions that maintain an organic connection to the collective’s debut album while embracing Abo Abo's current sonic vision. Each track is a stage in an evolving listening experience; beginning with impact, moving into immersion, and eventually following a more consistent rhythmic line. 

The fourth track, "Kalpa", available exclusively on cassette, is a completely original composition that marks the next evolution in the collaboration between Abo Abo and La Licorice. "Kalpa" brings to life a sonic landscape, a dreamlike vision that features a narrating voice.

Synopsis

Repetitive actions and the textures of ink, bleach and other cleaning products are used to re-animate the labour of domestic work performed by many generations of women, yet invisible and forgotten.

Biog

Birgitta Hosea is a media artist, who works in expanded animation and experimental drawing. Her work, which is included in the Tate Britain archive, explores presence, time and the invisibility of labour and takes many forms from video installation and animated performance art through to drawing on paper. Although once a cleaner, she now works as Head of Animation at the Royal College of Art in London.
