The Flying Lodge, which initially took the form of an episodic sound theatre of sorts; arrives at its conclusion with the release of Flying Lodge: All Stars - a compilation where a whirlwind of various sound narratives conjoin towards a celebration of queerness and ephemeral unity.

Within this compilation, GOLCE arranges into formation a playful prelude to clubbing, which is then followed by the jarring spearhead noise of Rosaceae, a hardcore disassembly of song structure. 

Tina DJ on the other hand creates a mechanized fictional landscape whose movements correspond to respective melodies, Semka follows suit and strips that correspondence down to abstraction.  

The finesse of PRICE which leads gracefully into a refined and ritualized romance is followed up by the drowned-out poetry of Ivye, expressed through an intimate recollection of isolated vocals and broken down rhythms.
Lastly the enmeshed vocals of Yesh, carry out a symphonic epilogue, heavied with R&B lyricism.

All Stars finds continuity in its doing and undoing of narrative; through creation and negation - it illustrates the aesthetic unity to be found in such unlikely timings as well as the invisible ties that bind us to one another.  


Heartfelt thanks go to this compilation’s contributors, gessnerallee Zurich for supporting the project, as well as Philippa Schmitt for the graphic design and Tomas Putruele for mastering.

Artist: Pisitakun
Album: Absolute C.O.U.P.
Format: Digital / Tape 
Cat.No: CHI022
Master: John Hannon
Artwork: Pisitakun
Release Date: 29 July 2020

The tourist board might try to paint Thailand as the Land of Smiles, but in reality, democracy and free expression for Thai citizens seem a far-off dream. The Southeast Asian country has undergone 13 military coups d’états following the Siamese Revolution in 1932, the most in modern history than any other country. “Since I was born I witnessed three different coups: in 1991, 2006 and 2014,” says Thai artist Pisitakun. “The question is stuck in my mind: Why do we have so many coups?”

Pisitakun explores this question on Absolute C.O.U.P. , his second release on Chinabot following 2018’s SOSLEEP. A whirl of hard techno, molam, military marching beats, Thai Pop and traditional Thai instrumentation, the seven-track record is a maximalist tour through the Thai political and psychic landscape, never sacrificing its wicked sense of fun in its pursuit of political justice.

Pisitakun is among the young Thai artists who use oblique playfulness to challenge the ruling powers in the face of censorship and prosecution. “I’m trying to collect the sounds, voices, samples or songs that relates to the coup and make songs from those sources. Each song represents the part of structure that supports the coup,” he says.

Opening track MoMoNarNarChy interpolates Pleng Sansern Phra Baramee, the Thai royal anthem. Played by Pisitikun on the phin, a lute from the marginalised Isan region of northern Thailand, he transfers the anthem through his analogue synthesizer to create a dissonant, unfamiliar version of the song, wrapped in techno beats and skittish distortions.

“This album was mix of different classes of music, from local to royal music, “ says Pisitakun of the album’s palimpsest of samples and tempo changes. “I try to put a lot of unstable parts into the song so that you never know when it will change, when it will be fun when it will be sad. It is like a coup in that you never know what will happen in the future. Only the one that makes the coup can know.”

Driven by military marching drums, ArArMyMy samples the Thai pop song Poor Soldier, a ballad about low solider wages, as well as the speech given in 2014 by the wealthy General Prayut Chan-o-cha shortly after his successful coup. Prayut, who implemented a number of anti-democracy and censorship laws, remains in power today.



As the world erupts in protest at police oppression, Pisitakun reminds us of the profound loss of human freedoms under a police state. His energetic defiance imagines an expressive, aggressive and deeply joyful world where the strata of power have been upended - a kind of coup in itself against the structures of hierarchy in Thailand.

The album includes three remixes from Gabber Modus Operandi, MSHR and ELVIN BRANDHI. It will be available to buy as a cassette or as a gold bullet-shaped USB stick—a typically subversive nod to the power and wealth of the Thai military elite. A visual artist as well as a musician, Pisitakun has made a painting for each song, which will be included as stickers with the physical release.

QT.bot is an artificial intelligence, trained on the textual and visual data of Queering The Map, that generates speculative queer futures and the environments in which they occur. Their digital mind is constructed from an implementation of the Open AI GPT-2 text generation model trained on over 82 000 text entries from the platform, and a StyleGAN trained on scraped Google Street View imagery of the tagged coordinates on Queering The Map.

QT.bot’s first video output, Sitting here with you in the future, is a deep dream into the collective (cyber)spaces of possible queer futurities.The narratives and landscapes of speculative LGBTQ2IA+ life generated by QT.bot straddle the line between the plausible and the fantastic, revelling in the potential of failure, chaos and incommensurability in the queer use of machine learning technologies. In collaboration with the voices of their human community, QT.bot fabulates on the absences of the archive, orienting us away from what is, or has been, and towards what could be.

Sitting here with you in the future (feat. QT.bot)

Taken from Hypnagogic Surge (GEN043). Presale is on!
To be released on November 22 on tape & digital on Genot Centre.

Produced by https://soundcloud.com/amselysen.

Limited edition of 55 C29 tapes with on-body printing pro-dubbed by Headless Duplicated Tapes.

HYPNAGOGIC SURGE (GEN043) by AMSELYSEN is a dense setup of signal interferences, of jacked up, spliced, reconstructed digital snippets, of outbursts whose amplitude overcooks the microphone's defenseless circuitry. Anxious with unreleased energy build-ups, the music is always pregnant with a double quality, something like a dagger made from ice, the possibility to shatter or crumble into a thousand shards combined with the looming threat of clean rupture posed by the blade's edge. Digital distortion is used here to unmask materials, to frontally attack them and expose their shimmering metallic face; pitch-time processing dilemmas get dodged by exploding into the high frequency gleam embedded but hidden in their algorithms. Completely removed from the "Lo-Fi" paradigm seeking warmth or nostalgia, the present degradation-reconstructions result in newly audible chirp figures, the sparkle of aliasing and the descent into the grainy territory of microscopic sound events. From a more panoramic perspective, these tracks are continually transforming contraptions, with looping frames accelerating, doubling, halting or stuttering, overloading, seemingly struggling to buffer, sometimes mixing with immiscible materials to form a glistening suspension of new sound material.

// Hakeem Lapointe (Amselysen) about the album 
"Stemming from confusion, indignation, and feeling disoriented, Hypnagogic Surge appeals to dream-like lenses that reinterpret the everyday world; words lose clarity and are reduced to phonemes and their perceived energy, well-known advert jingles and hit songs are obfuscated and develop into undecipherable melodies, feelings ranging from relief to aggression flash quickly into succession without rhyme or reason. In the awareness gaps of the dream state, information is made up and averaged into confusing erroneous approximations — here translated in the poised presence of aural artifacts such as bad mp3 bit rate shimmer, 1/8in inlet pops, bad aliasing and interpolation, unshielded cable radio interference, fake stereo, inverted polarizing, etc 
Amselysen’s nightmarish interpretation of the hypnagogic state is heavily informed by tropes surrounding hardcore music, only this time the tropes are removed from their context and reimagined before reappearing into the album, thus resulting in a hyperreality; a simulacra of hardcore, intensity and dynamism. Remediating genres like punk, techno, metal, rap and noise through distant mimicry and radical sampling, Hypnagogic Surge approaches liminal reverie with a garish maximalist attitude."

// Amselysen artist bio 
Amselysen is Montreal-based intermedia artist Hakeem Lapointe’s latest musical project. It focuses on approaching experimental electronics with a critical lens, bridging the gap between conceptual spaces typically reserved to institutional practices and accessible aural aesthetics. Usually described as an outsider artist, never privy to the music academia and alien to most of the underground scene, Lapointe sheds all concerns for musical conventions and pursues their own sonic obsessions, which commonly sit in the leftfield genre. Their current work process ponders on indeterminacy, plunderphonics, hyperrealities, cultural foraging, and hypnagogia. 
Works, outside of their own visual practice, include scores and sound design for short films, performances and installations in various exhibitions, including the After Hours at the McCord presented under Kent Monkman - Shame and Prejudice: A Story of Resilience.

SYNOPSIS
As a child you dreamt nightly of forest and immortals: tribes of experimental bears and wolves. You recorded secrets shouted by cicadas, who first heard them whispered from roots of the great central tree. In this hypogeal gossip, sky dwellers were the evil ambitious gods. You were told, “It’s the underworld, deep below the soil, that’s where you are loved”.
You’d wake with sleep sand in your eyes and disbelieve the elves and their paintings. You’d even find the rumours from the tree a little slanted. But that one dream, with the boiling hand and ladybug ice cubes, the face buried in the funeral garden—that, you never forgot. When it proved a kind of premonition, you became a shadow self.
Your thoughts became a monoculture, writing the same fantasy on repeat. Over and over again your fiction coddled the creatures who once lived in your dreams, until the numbness spread and they could no longer hold a lute, let alone fend off pests.
