“Still Lives” is the third solo full length by the Finnish composer Marja Ahti, following a pair of releases on the Hallow Ground imprint. As a collection, it may be seen as a series of studies on the liminality of the listening act and an investigation into the physicality of sound. Ahti forges vivid electroacoustic environments from field recordings, analog synthesizers, acoustic feedback, magnetic tape and digital processing, resulting in a set of articulate, prickly, and surprising compositions. In the artist’s words, “These pieces could be conceived of as vanitas paintings of a kind – selections of mundane or archetypal objects, sounds that have their own distinct qualities, but exist only by virtue of being temporary events. From another angle, one could think of them as shrines – objects assembled and set in a particular relationship to each other, charging each other in their given constellations.” Marja Ahti (b. 1981) is a musician and composer based in Turku, Finland. Originally from Sweden, Ahti has been a part of the Finnish experimental music scene for more than ten years in different constellations. She is currently active in the duo Ahti & Ahti with her partner and as a member of the Himera artist/organizer collective.

Soundscape for an installation of Ugo Woatzi.
Music by Mélodie Blaison

"In this installation, Queerutopia, Ugo Woatzi refers to the possibilities of creating utopian spaces in response to oppressive patriarchal and heteronormative structures. The title also refers to the concept of Heterotopia carried by M. Foucault as somehow “other” spaces.

As a queer kid growing up in a rural area in the south of France, he had to follow certain codes and rules to become “a man”. They couldn’t embrace their identities freely and were afraid of being judged on their sexuality and gender. Dreaming of a free space to express themselves, they spent a lot of time in nature, near the river – which for them was magical – imagining their own world.

The visual material of Queerutopia was captured from different natural environments where they spent time as a kid. Digitally altered and constructed as a dreamlike pantheon, the images depict imaginary minds, bodies and creatures. Woatzi imagines this installation as a care tool and a spiritual process navigating between past present and future."

Archaic Vaults is pleased to present the first vinyl album for the label, cataloguing ten tracks from ten artists spanning the globe. This curation brings together a multiplicity of genres within the label’s ongoing thematic output - durational ambience, field recordings, oversaturated improvisations and spatialised synthetic loops among them. A diverse cohort of familiar and new collaborators alike.
