Coucher de soleil brumeux sur une map loadée, recherché par des drones conscients dans un hueco-mundo avec différents levels de sonorités. C'est un open world de 20 tracks ou chaque joueur·se (résident·e/guest) a encodé sa propre vision de l'OST et décloisonné les biomes musicaux. 2021, tout devrait bien se passer, même si le vaisseau mère (terre) peut se crasher à tout instant.

EURROPE - No ghost just a shell for ur soul

**fnd.

'For the past couple of years, my friends and I have had a tradition of spending Kekri together in a cottage in the woods. We mark the ancient celebration using contemporary tools: we make masks with lichen, card and a glue-gun and we soak the Kekri Pukki in kerosene to be burnt. This is no nostalgic reenactment of an invented past; we are using rituals to imagine a way of relating to nature that embraces the modern and the technological. Smartphones are welcome.'

This piece appeared as part of the 2022 exhibition 'Elon Kierre' in Helsinki.

[Lyrics]

It's the twilight of the year and the days are waning. The last person to awake is affectionately named the 'köyri'. After a year of heartbreak, hedonism and hard work, I’m tired, so it’s not a surprise that the köyri is me. As I drift out of sleep, I smell pancakes - their scent wafting up from the kitchen. We’ll have to eat 9 times today for good luck, and not forget to leave something out for the spirits too. 

In the early afternoon, we venture out to forage for mask-making materials. Someone remarks that the distant forest resembles a giant barcode, but my eyes are trained on the trees immediately surrounding me. They’re adorned with old man’s beard and the rocks with damp moss, but then my attention is caught by four brightly coloured strands of plastic string hanging from a fence. I think they’ll make for good hair; materials given a new life as the facial features of soon-to-be born creatures. 

I’m on dinner duty this evening; frying onions in turmeric, garam masala and lots of butter. We take it in turns to cook for everyone and, through this agreement, we each embark on our individual cycle of rest and work, receiving and giving. This cycle is replicated in the emotional and spiritual worlds, too. Any site of co-existence should entail reciprocity and, as such, we alternate between supporting, and being supported by, one another. One of us holds forth in conversation over lunch, entertaining us all with her anecdotes but, later on, she becomes scared and cries, and so we hold her. I think this is what making kin looks like; a dance of interdependence that is a little like breathing.

As I lie in bed, the covers pulled up to my chin, my hair is still a little damp from the sauna. I’m excited when I catch myself drifting off; relishing the moment between waking and sleeping, when the veil between the worlds is thin. My consciousness feels somehow delicate, trembling slightly as it navigates this transition. I can hear my friend breathing softly; it comforts me.

Tuu tuu tupakkarulla
mistäs tiesit tänne tulla?
Tulin pitkin turun tietä,
hämäläisten härkätietä.

Mistäs tunsit meidän portin?
Siitä tunsin uuden portin:
haka alla, pyörä päällä
karhun talja portin päällä

Uni kysyi uunin päältä,
unen poika porstuasta:
Onko lasta kätkyeessä,
pientä peitteiden sisässä?

Tuoppa unta tuokkosessa,
kanna vaski vakkasessa,
sillä silmät sivele,
näkymiset näppäele.

Nuku nuku nurmilintu,
väsy väsy västäräkki,
nuku kun minä nukutan,
väsy kun minä väsytän.

i have a companion, the companion has me

Composed by fashion sound designer Thomas Ripley (@thomasripleyecdysis) under the alias of Ecdysis, «Gothic /// Artificial» is a project that aims to reconcile mechanical, artificial and synthetic sounds with ecclesial aurae, built upon arie and voices meant to dilute the final lines of ecstasy, understood as both ascension and lust.

13 lit candles, a candle for each month and an extra one for luck.

With the end of May comes Eastern Nurseries 1st anniversary. We had plans to celebrate it together, from moonlight until dawn. This new normality demands that we do it apart, so we present you with the 10th release on the Eastern Nurseries imprint. 'The Violence Of Merging' is a digital platter for digital times. 13 portraits of togetherness. A still-life reunion for a still world.

“You'll miss the sunrise ahead if you're not gazing at the horizon.”
