July 17 will see the much-treasured analog synthesizer suite Chronology by Pakistani-American composer and drummer of the cult trio Dawn of Midi, Qasim Naqvi, finally receiving a worldwide vinyl release on Record Store Day 2021.

Originally conceived only digitally in 2016, Chronology was Qasim’s first release of electronic music. Having been in the world of improvised and classical music up to this point, it seemed only fitting for Naqvi’s inaugural electronic music album to be made exclusively on a malfunctioning synthesizer — an old Moog Model D. Leaving the abundant options of a computer behind.  

“Taken individually, the six pieces on Chronology dispense small-scale hits of gorgeousness. In tandem, the tracks cohere to form a compelling suite of pieces that can subtly undermine expectations for ambient-influenced composition.” — Pitchfork

According to Naqvi: "On the level of functionality, the synthesizer was kind of janky. It produced a low level din of white electrical noise and some of the knobs were erratic. Sometimes it would just shut off and the idea would end there. It was like bringing some ancient thing back from the dead and having it adapt. But with sound that always leads to interesting results." 

He used these anomalies to his advantage and the overall piece has a unique sonic signature that would perhaps be impossible to recreate on another Model D.

“When we think of a computer, we think of limitless options and an abundance of memory for recalling ideas. The Moog holds a reverse approach. It's a tactile piece of machinery with discrete circuits, 3 voltage-controlled oscillators and knobs for controlling the contour of the oscillator. It's monophonic, so chords or polyphonic playing is out of the question. The absence of this function required a layering of ideas in stages. Also, there's no way of saving anything or recalling presets. Once you make a sound, that's it. It exists in that moment unless you chronicle the settings by writing them down. It's kind of like making a gesture with a brush. Once it strikes the canvas, you can either freeze it in time or erase it forever”, Qasim recalls.

Chronology will be released physically on Record Store Day 2021, July 17 on Erased Tapes — followed by a digital release on July 31.

ТЭРАПЕЎТЫЧНАЕ АПІСАННЕ ПРАКТЫКІ

Мантра супакойвае думкі, набрыняе цела энергіяй і стабільным устойлівым адчуваньнем сябе. На псыхічным узроўні зацыкленнае спяваньне словаў "да дому, да хаты" актывізуе пачуцьцё сувязі з домам, бяспеку, выклікае прыемныя, часам сумныя адчуваньні.

Сьпяваньне ў два галасы дапамагае вытрымліваць кантакт, дае досьвед адсутнасьці канкурэнцыі, развівае навык партнёрскай падтрымкі, падвышае рэсурснасць фокуса ўвагі, дазваляе пражываць досьвед блізкасці. 


Hi! Here you will find an audio guide to belarusian mantra "DA DOMU DA HATY" (to my home, to my house).

THERAPEUTIC DESCRIPTION OF PRACTICE

The mantra calms the mind, and fills the body with energy and a stable, steady feeling of self. On the mental level, the chanting of the words "to the house, to the house" intensifies the feeling of connection with the home and security, and puts you in pleasant, sometimes sad feelings.

Singing in two voices helps to maintain contact, gives the experience of lack of competition, develops the skill of partner support, increases the resourcefulness of the focus of attention, and allows you to live the experience of closeness.

tp Dutchkiss is the solo moniker of LA-based producer Spencer Hartling. His debut full-length, high functioning, out now on Leaving Records, is a probing eleven-track collection teetering between jittery beats and experimental songwriting. Imaginatively high-functioning, but also just functioning while high, it turns to an array of unorthodox recording techniques to build melody into the very structures of dance music it straddles. high functioning works it all out, breaking through to a new place of earnestness.

Though technically presenting a first effort, Hartling is no beginner. Owner and operator of Wiggle World recording studio, tape loop experimentalist and co-author of zine Show Invisibles, or How to Make a Tape Loop, his solo live performances are workshops in improv ambient and dubbed out, forward-thinking hardware play. A member of “rock” band Harry the Nightgown, the fledgling experimentalist thrives in collaboration, having lent his chops to ventures with artists like Colloboh, Cherry Glazerr, Ohr and Qu’ran Shaheed.

high functioning itself wasn’t born in isolation. Conceived and recorded not only in Hartling’s home city of Los Angeles, but crucially also on the road across the world, in Lithuania and on the Mediterranean, its protean sounds feel like notes to people far and near – buzzed, maximalist, often touching, especially when less than clear-headed.

And yet, high functioning is also a showcase for Hartling’s unique approach to songwriting. Not quite cocooned in the collection’s jagged soundscapes, the emphasis on harmony at its core emanates outward, shining through melody-carrying bass chord changes and halting arrangements. It is more a form of illumination than of lucidity: high functioning’s compositions may jerk and flutter, as analog gear and glitching drum machines grind and warble into each other, but they reveal a loving care for melody that is irregular to the straighter genres the record inhabits.

Rooted in Hartling’s years of sound-first experimentation, high functioning’s upper-downer, unorthodoxly pop-driven take on dance music is never too intelligent for its own good. As it starts, stops and pivots over and over, it makes way for what much music of similar ilk doesn’t get to express: an almost vulnerable intimacy, “sweet like everything.” Alexa, bump up the warm jets.
