rrrrrrafael by r hunter is a huge spectral panorama held together at the seams by precise percussion flickering between creaky electroacoustics and punchy HD SFX. The treatment of the sound material here is like hearing the hallucinatory product from a noise removal algorithm pushed beyond its intended domain, something uncompromisingly sharp, rippling, ringing, totally embracing its own digitality. But this digitality is not a cold digitality and finds its counterpoint in various organic interventions, ranging from liquid bass stabs to autotuned lamentations to oceanic drum kit adventures. Throughout this translates into variously sized tension-release-structures keeping these pieces breathing and moving as crisp dsp and smeared tones lose and again assume form, the density of the discrete sound components always allowing for new permutations.

"The process of writing rrrrrrafael was a deeply personal experience that occurred during an intense period of musical growth in my life. Amongst the discourse around de/re-constructing club music, I instead relied upon a fairly abstract musical constraint by asking myself the following question: How would you reconstruct music from your mind’s image of sound? I approached this by using a symbolic method of composition, creating graphic scores and making macro-structural decisions based upon my experience of what sounds ‘look like’ before committing to any audio. Because of this, a lot of the sound design is a functional result of different emotional states that I experienced rather than a conscious effort to capitalise on aesthetic complexity."

Taken from Julek Płoski's album 'śpie', out November 10, 2019 via Gin&Platonic

tape & digital: ginandplatonic.bandcamp.com/album/pie

Born in 1998, Warsaw-based Julian Płoski has recently been making noise among the Polish experimental scene. Despite only being 21, he can already boast about taking part in various residencies, performing dozens of gigs including one at last year’s edition of UNSOUND, or founding an ever-fluid label 𝑔𝓁𝒶𝓂𝑜𝓊𝓇. Julek’s critically acclaimed debut album "Tesco" saw him shoplifting field recordings while hunting for discount groceries, then genuinely fusing them with bare elements of contemporary club music or IDM into ominous sound collages. Gin&Platonic is now pleased to present Julek Płoski’s sophomore full lenght - śpie.
On this yet another conceptual record he leads the listener through extensive hypnagogia occurring during onset of sleep, with all of its abrupt deflections one may eventually take while attempting to enjoy a quality rest. Constantly balancing on the edge of vague vigilance and shallow slumber, śpie teases us with stream of hypergrotesque sound scenarios often submitted by hints of deeply internal insecurities, projected through the lens of dreamstate’s very own oddity. The retained fragments of past day's experience crawl in uncontrollably and they immediately provoke wicked imagination of rather obscure situations. As the mood flows unpredictably from nightmarish periods of abrasive kick drums to sweet and serene soundscapes, on "śpie" Julek achieves to connect the wicked with the virtuous, as well as the pleasant with the destructive.

“śpie is an album about can’t wake up and waking up and can’t wake up and non-stop waking up and trying not to wake up and trying to wake up again and again.”

All life on earth depends on oxygen from the air. We breathe it to live and live to breathe it. Air is a transparent symbol of the eternal youth of nature, a constant reminder of our vitality. To conquer the anxiety of life, we need to live in the breath of air.

It is time to let go of your fear and doubts. You must learn to embrace the darkness of your soul, for it is a light beacon of hope for humanity. Your soul wants to show itself in its truest form, strength, perseverance, courage and determination of spirit. In this lifetime your soul needs to cleanse and open its feelings for katharsis. This current physical lifetime offers you a new leaf, to be able to learn to balance obsolete, distorted behaviors.

Yearning Kru - Lammergeyer

Forever Forgiving

Avtomat jest jednym z najważniejszych artystów queerowych w Polsce, producentem, DJ-em i wokalistą. Organizuje cykle imprez (m.in. Ciężki Brokat), należy też do prężnego kolektywu Oramics. „Gusła (Human Rites)” to jego pierwsze wydawnictwo od siedmiu lat. Premiera EP-ki 6 listopada nakładem Tańców.

EP-ka „Gusła (Human Rites)” powstała w okresie trudnym zarówno dla Avtomata, jak i każdej innej osoby queerowej w Polsce. Muzyka po części narodziła się w trakcie artystycznej rezydencji w Centrum Sztuki Współczesnej w Warszawie, gdzie kolektyw Oramics odprawił queerowy rytuał uzdrowienia. Artysta opisuje ją jako „kolektywny krzyk społeczności postawionej pod ścianą”. W czerwcu 2020, w przeddzień performansu, Avtomat został aresztowany protestując przeciwko bezprawnemu zatrzymaniu Margot Szutowicz z kolektywu Stop Bzdurom oraz narastającej opresji wobec społeczności LGBTQ+ w Polsce. 

Materiał składa się z czterech agresywnych, klubowych utworów. Ich korzeni można szukać m.in. w polirytmii i synkopach tańców takich jak oberek czy chodzony. Avtomat ma również smykałkę do domowych perkusjonaliów oraz przerabiania starych pieśni na wokalne drony i desperackie wrzaski. EP-kę otwiera tytułowy numer, w którym łoskot garnków i patelni ułożony jest w wirującą, ażurową strukturę. Pozwala to na pozostawienie przestrzeni w miksie dla wprowadzającego napięcie, gumowego groove'u, który ciągnie kawałek do przodu. Z kolei „Szeptucha (Hex Therapy)” to Avtomat gotowy do konfrontacji. Producent ściera ze sobą pełne dramaturgii dźgnięcia akordów, wycie wiedźm i metaliczne dźwięki, rzucając klątwę na osoby odpowiedzialne za codzienną przemoc wobec osób queer.

„Stop Bzdurom (The Bad Gays)” wydaje się być najbardziej wściekłym utworem na płycie. Kawałek dedykowany jest tytułowemu kolektywowi i jego walce z pseudoreligijnymi bzdurami głoszonymi przez podejrzane organizacje pro-life. Ciężarówki oklejone homofobicznymi hasłami jeżdżą po całej Polsce w obstawie policji, nie dziwi więc, że numer oparty jest na dźwięku rzężącego silnika. Inwazja dźwięków, krzyków, uderzeń i brzmień suki biłgorajskiej nawiązuje otwarcie do tej nierównej batalii.

Zamykający EP-kę kawałek „Nieludzie (Ignorance Ha)” jest zaktualizowaną wersją utworu ze składanki „Total Solidarity” wydanej przez Oramics w 2019 roku. Tym razem to nowy minister edukacji Przemysław Czarnek i jego dehumanizujący społeczność LGBTQ+ cytat zostają zagłuszone dźwiękami nadchodzącej zguby. Zniekształcony bas i powolna dekonstrukcja ballroomowej stylistyki brzmią teraz bardziej złowieszczo niż kiedykolwiek.

Zrealizowano w ramach programu stypendialnego Ministra Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego – Kultura w sieci.

when homophobic attacks are a daily thing in your hometown you have to grow a thicker skin, but it’s not enough. derealisation gets stronger while you’re working on your second LP “śpie”, you have to constantly tell yourself “I’m a human” as a form of self-therapy and this sentence just sticks with you every day.
then the feeling of not-existing is induced by the polish political speeches you keep hearing so you make music as ecstatic, as colorful, as fast and as physical as you can, but it’s not enough. you’re still a non-human being so you make this music even faster, samples sharper and kicks louder.
and then you have “Human Sapiens Ep” - the collection of songs that make you feel a bit better and make you feel like a Human Sapiens.
