The 14th release of katharsis is the debut EP “Pace / Silence” by Danish artist ELCA. The release is truly a personal piece to the artist, as it intends to translate, conceptualize and visualize the physical and psychological experiences of living with heart disease. Throughout the five tracks of the EP, ELCA explores an array of themes and symptoms related to his illness through distorted pads, stuttering synthesizers and heavily manipulated drums.

On “Pace / Silence” the artist seeks to express the difficult feelings attached to illness in our society, recognize others in similar situations and fight the stigma attached to it. Starting the EP out solidly, the track “Defibrillation” is a manifestation of ELCA’s first heart attack and the following electrical shocks he experienced from his ICD. Following this comes “Arrhythmia” portraying the inner battle between the heart and the defibrillator and their struggle to find a common tempo.

On “Bradycardia / Pacemakers”, ELCA firstly depicts the symptom of having a much too low pulse and later the stabilization of the pulse by the pacemaker. Thereafter comes the track “Tachycardia”, oppositely depicting the symptom of having a much too high pulse and the following fears of fainting and potential heart stop. Lastly, the artist shows how on “Composure” that the worst symptoms have ameliorated through the right medical care and how making music has given him release of some of the difficult experiences he had in the intense care.

ELCA - Composure

La planète Terre dans 1000 ans, après de nombreuses modifications de son environnement, de manipulations génétiques, l'empreinte de l'homme, l'âge d'or du plastique et de la silice commencent à prendre fin, la nature reprend ses droits plus forte que jamais.... Tour à tour entomologue, océanographe, archéologue du futur, Jadis 3000 nous propose avec humour un bestiaire d'organismes électroniques hybrides à l'image de sa musique, bass dansante, et glitch, retro, post moderne...

Shenzi Predatora est l'une des multiples facettes de Jules, artiste autrice, performeuse et auto-éditrice. Pour cet épisode de Looking For, Shenzi choisit et dissémine des souvenirs de vive voix, des hommages à des fictions enfantes et pré-adolescentes et des extraits de ses textes. Le tout se distille entre fantômes pop, rythmiques de l'obscur à la douceur, nappes émotionnelles et habitées de récits.

FACECHAIN - Euphoric Channel

Deliquescent spheres orbiting in a void of golden shimmer
Opening one transfers you to a field of untouched lantanas and amaranths
Watching them makes you dream of a sun rising to its zenith
Tonight there was a fire, which burned like the last remaining stars

SOUL FEEDER TAKEOVER • Beatrix Weapons x s1m0nc3ll0

So, music is a really difficult subject for me. While I‘ve been making it one way or another since I was a child, there have always been dominant people in my life trying to strongly push me into doing what they envision, what they think is good music. This is true for other forms of art as well but in my case mostly about music.

I guess this is why I never really released anything (I did perform tho lol) and also don’t feel happy to listen to my old music. I only hear myself in there partially.

So, over time I very slowly made friends with my occasionally quite odd ears. And managed to find a place where I can touch upon something beyond justification or comparison - it’s fleeting still, I don’t always have it.

This piece was recorded in a single sitting last december and while playing I started crying and I couldn’t stop for quite some time even after I had finished. More composed, less rambly (and also happier/funnier) pieces are coming but this one is really special to me because in playing I managed to open the floodgates and find a place to resonate with my own being, my pain and my joy, far beyond needing to be or do anything other than the music I was touching and being into existence right then and there.
