Kane Ikin - Storming

Mechanised howlings, ghostly hums, and low-grade whines are produced relentlessly by the back-end infrastructure that keeps social apparatuses functioning. When operating efficiently, the focus on these systems is placed only on their inputs and outputs rather than their underlying complexity. Consequently, the more successful they become, the more opaque and obscure they grow. Lecea examines the possibilities of unblackboxing an architecture of power through media archaeology. As structures of authority deteriorate, they end up experiencing leakages. Secrecy eventually overflows its physical confinements, spilling noise as a by-product of their decay. 

A spatial audio configuration pours the data of files stored in the hidden server room of the former courthouse into a public telephone booth by means of vibration and resonance. The piece renders these transmissions as dying signals of the judiciary, colliding its archaeoacoustics in an inversion of physical and sonic horizons.

Exhibited at "Holding Pattern", Sandberg Instituut Graduation Show 2022, De Oude Rechtbank, Amsterdam, NL
Presented at STRP Festival, Eindhoven, NL

Félicia Atkinson is a composer, sculptor, painter, poet, and publisher from Rennes, France. Atkinson has led a fruitfully fantastic run of eerily blissful, serenely euphoric sounds. Whether under her own name or via her defunct recording pseudonym Je Suis Le Petit Chevalier, Atkinson has released work on Umor Rex, Digitalis Limited, Aguirre, and Shelter Press, an imprint co-run with Bartolomé Sanson.

‘Coyotes’ is an EP inspired by Atkinson’s last voyage to New Mexico in February 2017, when she visited and took in the geographic landscapes from Taos to Ghost Ranch. The same vistas also inspired much of Agnes Martin’s and Georgia O’Keefe’s painting, as well as Jerome Rothenberg’s poetry and translation’s works.

Atkinson describes a ‘Coyotes’ as a “Carnet de Voyage,” a tape you could directly play in your car while traveling somewhere, a kind of imaginary map to a sentimental journey. A spontaneous gesture, close to the notion of gift or offering. Or, simply, a postcard to a friend.” But it’s also a praise to the conservation of national and state parks and its human and non-human souls, menaced as we know now by drilling and violent economic speculations.

Here, coyotes act as a kind of metaphor of ambiguity and doubt, a state of mind that Atkinson find interesting to transcribe musically; the ambiguity furthered by Atkinson as a literal “foreigner” in New Mexico. She conveys a sense of visiting these native sacred lands and wondering what you are doing there.

Musically, ‘Coyotes’ is composed of two long tracks, “Abiqiu” and “Lighter Than Aluminium.” Each track features an effervescent froth of piano, midi sounds evokes marimbas, Fender Rhodes, bells, sub-basses, and spoken word poetry written by the musician to display a melancholic landscape made of transparent but deep layers of pale colors and blurry lines.
