Pour Rappel, Avatar invite en 1994 des artistes à détourner le téléphone, objet quotidien par excellence, et à l’utiliser comme diffuseur, comme enregistreur ou encore comme lieu d’échange. À titre de balises, Avatar leur pose les questions suivantes : comment transmuter la banalité des échanges sonores qui caractérisent le téléphone? Comment peut-on intervenir sur les sons qui le déterminent et sur les codes d’échange qu’il impose? Cette publication est une appropriation de l’outil téléphonique et une réflexion sur ses caractéristiques propres.

Rappel est un projet qui s’étend sur une période de deux ans au cours de laquelle les artistes occupent une ligne téléphonique réservée au projet, entre le 15 septembre 1994 et le 26 mai 1995. Le 7 janvier 1995, les artistes de Rappel investissent l’émission Les chants magnétiques de Mario Gauthier à la Chaîne culturelle de la Société Radio-Canada. Toutes les expérimentations sont enregistrées et compilées par Christof Migone d’Avatar. Rappel paraît finalement en 1996.

For Rappel, Avatar invited artists to orchestrate a détournement of the telephone—that epitome of ordinariness—using it to broadcast, record, or host exchanges. To guide the artists, Avatar asked the following questions: How might the telephone’s characteristically banal sound exchanges be transformed? What could be done to its identifying sounds and the codes of communication they impose? Rappel subverts the telephonic instrument and reflects on its fundamental nature.

Rappel was a two-year project. Artists worked with a dedicated phone line between September 15, 1994, and May 26, 1995. On January 7, 1995, they took over Mario Gauthier’s Les chants magnétiques on Radio-Canada’s Chaîne culturelle. Their experiments were recorded and compiled by Avatar’s Christof Migone. Rappel was at last released in 1996.

N'oubliez Pas De Débrancher

Where sky meets forest ain't so easy to tell. Sunlight jumps from wave to wave. The beat, a lazy pulse. Content to watch a while, take it all in. Clouds would catch the colours. A Mediterranean panorama.

MAD PROFESSOR --SET--

Pacing the Platform 26 w/ upsammy on NTS (20.02.25)

subcast is born, an incantation of adventurous sonic alchemy behind radiant subs. The inimitable Razrbark kicks things off. Strap in for a chemistry-altering ride.
@razrbark's interview below--->

ℚ: ℍ𝕠𝕨 𝕨𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕕𝕖𝕤𝕔𝕣𝕚𝕓𝕖 ℝ𝕒𝕫𝕣𝕓𝕒𝕣𝕜 𝕚𝕟 𝕒 𝕗𝕖𝕨 𝕨𝕠𝕣𝕕𝕤?

A: Live edge, live wire

Q: Describe the story behind Razrbark's Specific Heat.

A: Specific Heat measures how resistant (or not) substances are to temperature changes, specifically how much energy is needed to raise the temperature of something by one degree. This concept from chemistry has always stuck with me and is something I thought of after listening to the finished product of this mix/let's be real I just think it sounds cool.

When I first started prepping for this mix, I went in a very different direction and had a rough draft, but it felt tedious, trying to force ideas and tracks in a way that required a lot of energy with little output. Sometimes, things pour out of you and sometimes, they don't. 

One day, a very exciting booking came through (spoiler alert: it was Honcho @ Hot Mass). With the adrenaline rush of the booking, I immediately started mixing tracks from the extremes of my USB, and everything flowed really easily. I decided to hit record, and it came together in a way that felt much more organic. I also unearthed many tracks I had forgotten about that were collecting cobwebs on my stick but that I always loved.

Anyway, all this to say, just like in chemistry, sometimes you need the right conditions for a reaction to truly take off~~~

Q: What is your ideal dancefloor (fictional or real).

The Bronze.

Q: When is the last track that made subs glow for you?

A: Two specific tracks come to mind:
https://snappedankles.bandcamp.com/track/come-play-the-trees-crooked-ankles-2
To me this is the perfect track. I played it at Hot Mass in Pittsburgh sometime after 6am a bit slower than this. I love how it has so much raw power behind it. Big chug NRG. I've always loved this song from the same band. It has a very Iggy Pop/Plastic Bertrand sensibility to it, but I've never been able to play it on a dance floor, so I was happy when I found this edit that is a bit more dance floor friendly and still has the rock/dance vibe that I feel is a hallmark of my sound.

Another track:
I just played this song towards the end of my set at Afterlife in Seattle this weekend. The bass was so intense my drink literally bounced across a table and fell to the floor. I'd say the subs were glowing hard.
https://normalpleasure.bandcamp.com/track/heart-palpitations-on-the-m1

Q: What track/artist was a musical game-changer for you?

A: Föllakzoid. It's psych rock, it's techno, it's everything. Each time I've seen them play, it's world-building and expansive. 

Q: If this mix was a book or a movie what would it be? 

A: It would be in Walk Hard Part 2, when Dewey goes through his drum and bass era.

For deep creep’s NYC-focused curation of the Rhythmic Culture mix series, Plebeian delivers a high-intensity blend of club sounds and experimental rhythms that reflect the pulse of the city’s sounds.

deep creep: "Plebeian was introduced to me by my good friend Dan aka Alien D when we were throwing a party called False Peak (RIP). Since then I have been hyper focused on whatever release he is putting out into the ether. One of my favorite releases was his Contrast EP on Grid Records. An innovative and immersive sonic experience, driven by the most satisfying sub-bass I've ever heard in a hot minute."
