Lucika (they/them) is an artist based in Brussels, Belgium. After years of composing music for others in theaters, they finally did something for themselves : a first solo release with Yuku. Coming from live sound design on & off stage, their field work consistently combines both a reflexive and an experimental practice with a variety of colours, from acoustic to electronic, introspective to adventurous, always focused on a precise rhythmic work. The outcome of this research is often a constructed deconstruction which slides aesthetically between the genres of bass, postclub and breaks.

Earth Memory Colander is a four-track tense and fragmented project that combines organic sounds, sharp rhythms and swarming noises to shape the backdrop of a peculiar story : the tale of Fruglub : a termite who has been chased away from home by their Queen, the termite Queen. Fruglub’s internal journey of confusion, introspection, and potential revenge mirrors the chaotic yet cohesive nature of the compositions.

“From above, all exists yet elsewhere persists,
Impact nails and luck saps
Beyond drought.
Will later exist
A mechanical solution
A fold of memory colander where my wince swarm
An Earth plunge
Fruglub incorporates.”
