Henrik Schwarz and Bugge Wesseltoft LIVE @ RFH RBMA London 2010

On his new album „Songs From Okinawa“ Sven Kacirek searches for traces of a unique, traditional music of the famous Pacific islands in the south of Japan. He has recorded various musicians, amateurs as well as local celebrities and subsequently added his trademark instruments marimba, xylophone and piano. The result is an incomparable album of timeless beauty and elegance. 

This podcast even adds another layer to his journey. He compiled it with Agnieszka Krzeminska, who’s also responsible for the great „Songs From Okinawa“-video clips and a making-of-documentary (see the links below). You will hear traditional music from Okinawa, japanese pop songs taken from vintage 7“-vinyl and, of course, a taste of the new album.

Songs of Okinawa will be released on the 20th of November via Pingipung.

In the evergreen forests, along with the interwoven paths of the Indians, among the Ancient Pyramids surrounded by Amazonian spirals, our lone pilgrim is steadily overcoming challenges he faces along the way. Stripping away all illusions, he reaches an even deeper level of introspection. 

On his path illuminated by the mystical knowledge from the otherworldly dimensions, our pilgrim wonders about his higher purpose. With this in mind, he reaches his destination. Here, all possible and impossible are tightly knitted together, creating kaleidoscopic patterns ... What a sacred place ...

Images of animals, people, stars and distant planets performing the dance of life appear before his eyes ...

Where is he going to go now? Which direction to follow? Is he going to go right? Left? Go up or perhaps, all the way down?

He closes his eyes ... Deep inhale followed by slow exhale ... Doors of perception open up slowly. Gentle lull of solitary meditation reveals a clue that puts everything in place :

- “It's not so much about the direction, but why you stick to it” ...

The moment his eyes gently blink open ... He chooses love ...

Fool fall from the dream Tale by @ventralisgolden

Nobody saw him disembark the Yāna as it descended to earth and sank slowly into the sacred mud. 

As the riverbanks absorbed him, the Fool, disoriented at first, emerged from the algorithmic sleep of a thousand spores containing old worlds. Adjusting to the new environment, his sense of origin dwindled in the twilight of the processors. Long drones of mechanical ohms stretched along the air waves from the same forgotten distance from which he came. His mind knew the drone only as an synthetic mechanism now. It’s vaguity echoing faintly through the fine particles in the vertiginous air, eventually coming to rest upon his lips like a vast hall of molecular libraries. He spoke its name to define the edges of the sound. ’Or’ breathed the Fool. “Or” he breathed again.

His voice moved like a string of vibrating pearls through the imperceptible atmospheric tones surrounding him, producing an agitated thought-form of momentary clarity.
“Or” he said. “Or” he repeated. The pattern emerged once more. He recognised it’s form as Le Charlatan, the old Sorcerer of the Grasslands.
The textural pitch of the mechanical drone increased across the horizon as the image became imbued with clarity. 
The processors heated and the thought-form expanded, bursting into crystal droplets that fell like marbles onto the sparse, trembling leaves of the surrounding vegetation. 
The Fool reached down to examine their spherical nature as they smouldered in the mud. 
He meditated on how he could have possibly arrived in such a world. 

The old knowledge recorded in the one hundred halls of the molecular library were once thought to permit us to glimpse into the heart of strange matters, but now were a useless mental catalogue of all the images of his memory. 
Realising that he no longer knew his name, nor the world in which he grew up to survive in, he recalled the forms of an even earlier age than his own. An age where every bird, branch, leaf and stone spoke their own name. 
He gave himself the sound of ‘Chevolek’, for knowing it’s nature was of the old grasslands, the sound would contain the memory of the subtle streams around which those one hundred scared halls wound.

Although his motivation seemed supernatural at first, it wasn’t impossible. Chevolek gathered the one hundred droplets, each representing one year of his previous dream, and placed them into the sacred mud in spiral formation. 
He knew this pattern contained within it the emergent structure of the Magus, Le Charlatan, the Pan-incarnate panacea of the mechanical mind that now hummed so deeply through his molecules that he could almost taste the nature of the next realm.

As the glassy droplets softened and submerged, new visions of Or sprouted through the mud. There Chevolek stood as Le Charlatan and faced himself. As the humming in the distance equalised, the heat of the processors transferred their source and cooled within his body. 

The spores of previous worlds redeemed the fall of the Fool from his dream.

Modyfier is an Artist’s platform: it’s an idea acting as energy, it’s an experiment in accrual (as a collection), it’s an attitude that rides creativity and freedom. The Process Series relies on referral as people who participate each suggest someone else, creating its form, shifting in directions I would not be able to steer alone. Matthew Barney once said this about his early ‘Drawing Restraint’ work that really struck me: “I was thinking about how the body functions in training – how the muscle breaks down under resistance and then heals larger and stronger. I was trying to use that process of resistance to create form.”
