Notes For Us #3 Amber et Dorothy

mirage switch

For the third episode of our mix series, we are pleased to welcome the french artist Guerre Maladie Famine.

Guerre Maladie Famine’s DJ sets cross musical genres to sew together the idioms of our fragmented collective identity. The thrilling narrative he composes does not simply point out the porosity of musical genre division. It also invites us to intimately question the integrity of our musical identities, all too often resulting from blind determinism and empty certitudes.

"In correlation with ex magazine first release, I wanted through this mix to explore the fragmented nature of our identities in the digital realm using old-school breakcore mixed with OSTs from animes and games that dig into the same theme (Serial Experiments Lain, Kaiba, Perfect Blue, Zelda)

With the increasing use of technology in our daily lives, where online personas, social media, and virtual communities have become an integral part of everyday life allowing individuals to create and project different versions of themselves, each fragmenting into multiple and often conflicting identities, boundaries between reality and the virtual are increasingly blurred, in a world where identity is constantly in a flux i feel like these works have more relevance than ever before (encourage u to watch them, especially Lain and Kaiba)"

EX003 - GUERRE MALADIE FAMINE

sonic nectar emerging from a crossover of creators

This compilation by non-binary, trans, and female artists anoints a ritual through its very release, at its heart a queer cross-section of sound. It’s character is neither boxed nor defined, it explores the sonic in electronic form outside convention in genre. It oozes out from fixtures and settles at an irreducible essence, while constituted by disparate strands of voice and identity. The soaring scratch inherent to Plum , clu unfurls a portal of sound-waves, carrying the listener somewhere beyond time. Though its practice, in collective creation, as archaic as prehistory. The album is a celebration in itself, the tracks free to exist together. Each one both intimately and eerily coalesces one’s senses, extraterrestrial in its notes. Not a prototype, but alive in its becoming as it meets the listener.

Nondi_  - Dusk Mecha 2hrs

Musician, writer and filmmaker, Sunik Kim follows up ‘The Bent Bow Must Wait to Be Released’  (Takuroku 2021) with their second LP - a deadly serious dismantling of the limits of contemporary computer music, delivered with playful dexterity and a touch of slapstick humour, a la Henry Cow. 

Enlisting General MIDI to create frenetic, vital patterns of dis-organisation made up of gleeful synthetic trumpets, wry orchestral sweeps and brutal key clusters, Sunik Kim explodes a kind of simplistic sound into complex, beautifully uncertain structures. Readers may laugh, but ‘Potential’ is calmer than Kim’s previous offerings. Rather than attempting to overwhelm or stun the listener into subjectivity, ‘Potential’ is ever shifting; regularly breaking form and unfolding, discreetly nibbling at the concept of the Spectacle and un-doing fatally closed systems of cyclic music. 

On first listens we recalled Cecil Taylor’s Unit Structures, Stockhausen’s Gruppen, and even those weirdo attempts at making music from inside the world of Animal Crossing, Lil Jürg Frey. The overflowing ideas of Henry Cow (to which Kim dedicated a fantastically blended mix for the Wire in 2021) never drift too far from view, but contemporary counterparts lay few except for Yorkshire's most eminent polyceleratrix, Gretchen Aury, who we asked to write the liners. Gretchen’s words are unsurprisingly as extraordinary as the record itself, so we’ll close out the call to elicit a Media response to possibly the wildest OTOROKU yet with their words:

“Potential reads as a rare honest response to the disaster capitalist era of the apparent nearing end of the anthropocene, a cyborg music which is not hopelessly psychotic like so much contemporary and especially computer-requiring music, but lucidly possessed with rapture, pain, madness, empathy, ecstasy, torment, fragility; all those vital feelings and incentives which our atrociously depressing times seem engineered to quash and bleed out of us. This sound is a blistering Electro Magnetic Pulse wave of revolutionary hope, exclaiming defiantly that History is not over, that the future is not ‘history,’ that there is still a vast multitude of ideas and identities burning brightly and resiliently, despite the fact that they are inconceivable to the tyrannical Hegemonic axis of global capitalist tech-culture. I ask of you, listener, if you truly wish to plunge beyond The Known, give yourself over in full to this record.”
