Taken from SBKT055: TRANCE BAND - Entrancing
Release date: 3rd March 2023

'There's a Ghost in the Lantern
Accordion – Dis Fig
Guzheng – KIM KHAN

In a global landscape that increasingly prioritizes individuality over collaborative expression, TRANCE is a distinctive project. Initiated by Chinese multidisciplinary artist Tianzhuo Chen, best known for his work with Asian Dope Boys, TRANCE is as artistically amorphous as its constantly evolving line-up, that fluctuates as it shimmers across borders and time-zones. In 2019, the project was demoed in Beijing as part of a solo exhibition from Chen, a 12-hour durational performance that examined the altered states of living and dying and pondered the sounds, sensations, bodies and spaces that notion might suggest. On hold for three years due to COVID-19 restrictions, TRANCE was eventually premiered in Hamburg at the Kampnagel Theatre last year where it was presented as a surreal three-day ceremony. This time around the Trance Band was made up of Berlin-based noisemaker and vocalist Dis Fig, Indonesia's Gabber Modus Operandi, musician and MC KIM KHAN, guitarist and engineer Felix-Florian Tödtloff, and Vancouver-based percussionist and producer CITY. Chen directed the show, channeling each artist's unique energy into an alliance that highlighted their independent skills while pushing towards ideas that simply couldn't have been realized discretely.


"Entrancing" is a live documentation of that incendiary Hamburg session, powered by the performative fireworks that came from having the project halted for two years before it was allowed to burst into life once more. Just as with previous iterations of TRANCE, the space was terraformed into an alien landscape that allowed the collective to enact a carnivalesque display that was tightly controlled but creatively boundless. Musical u-turns were accompanied by monumental stage overhauls that reshaped a muddy, fog-filled outdoor riverscape into an arena, or a sweaty nightclub. This theatrical impact can't be visualized as clearly on the record, but musical cues do just enough heavy lifting to provide a tantalizing contour. When the alluring electro-acoustic plucks and resonant sustained string tones of 'There's a Ghost in the Lantern' cascade into cinematic drone metal on 'Ylva's Theme', it's impossible not to be drawn into the TRANCE narrative. Sonic stage lights flicker with uncommon intensity as the nebulous group rewrite their collective personal stories into stirring, synergistic poetry.


"Something changes!" KIM KHAN calls out on 'Soft and Black', cutting through warbling synths and itchy beatbox percussion. The track builds quickly, reaching a sizzling crescendo of buzzsaw noise and acidic electronics. It's a stylistic sea change that channels the group's kinetic energy into a rock show, and CITY picks up the message on 'Trance Genesis', adding rapid-fire drums to a barrage of guitar skronk. 'Shaolin Affliction' glues Trance Band's jagged artistic edges to a vintage metal template, gradually dissolving into throaty post-hardcore, while 'My Fortress' brings the show to a powerful conclusion with Dis Fig assuming the role of grunge balladeer, bellowing into the void over cacophonous live instrumentation. Unbound by musical and artistic conventions, TRANCE peers out from the basement, the gallery and the playhouse to forge an expression that's all of this and something new entirely. It's refreshing, witty, exhilarating and most of all, completely unpredictable.

Moqawama (مقاومة), "resistance."

Amidst the ongoing genocide against the people of Gaza - having now surpassed the 100-day mark, and with deep mourning for the loss of over 30,000 Palestinians, over 10,000 of those being children - I felt a profound need to contribute in some way. This drive led me to start this fundraising project and, with the invaluable help of everyone involved, we've crafted this Various Artists compilation as a creative expression of solidarity and support for Palestine.

We reached out to friends and fellow artists from five different parts of the world (Egypt, Poland, Greece, China, Saudi Arabia), seeking their support in contributing their unique sounds to this project. MOQAWAMA V.A. has evolved into a kaleidoscope of electronic subgenres, spanning from Shaabi to experimental techno, sound design and drill.

~PROCEEDS~
The vast majority of humanitarian aid is unfortunately not reaching Gaza. The only scenario in which donations can be helpful and have an impact is through e-SIM purchases, for which there is currently a huge demand, due to the very frequent telecommunications blackouts imposed by "Israel".
Purchasing e-SIMs is literally life saving, as it allows people within Gaza to connect to the outside, to communicate with their families and also to show what's happening within Gaza.

We'll be using all proceeds from this release to purchase as many e-SIMs as possible and send them to gazaesims@gmail.com. This effort is run by Mirna El Helbawi, an Egyptian writer and journalist. You can find more information on gazaesims.com or follow @ Mirna_elhelbawi on X/Twitter.

Huge thanks to all the artists involved, and of course to Khaled (@ jalapineos/@ kain.xx) for providing his amazing artworks and helping with the project in overall, and PereNee for creating the teaser videos.

Blanca Y Dormida - Techno Lovers United

Cette semaine, schisme.s vous invite à découvrir le répertoire singulier d’ @amselysen (aka Hakeem Lapointe), qui fait écho à sa propre musique à travers celle d’une trentaine de morceaux. Relatif nouveau venu sur la scène montréalaise, il se distingue rapidement par sa signature sonore: morceaux courts et directs, production soit robuste ou douce mais toujours angulaire et accompagnement sporadique de voix rigoureusement stridentes. C’est cette vision bien articulée qui se révèle sur ses deux albums sur la défunte étiquette @genotcentre ainsi qu’un EP sur Dream Disk Lab, mais ça pourrait également très bien décrire sa sélection.

Liste de diffusion sur Instagram (schizo_cism)

Design graphique: Geneviève L Richard
Programmation et mastering: @julienracine

On remet ça vendredi minuit sur les ondes de @cism-89-3-fm. En ligne mardi matin 4h.

 On this episode of F.B.I. Pathology Report we explore the conflict in Northern Ireland that lasted for about 30 years from the late 1960s to 1998, known as The Troubles.
For this episode, I decided not to write a description for it's facts, 
placing a selected piece from a poem by Douglas McClarty instead.

"Yet I remembered when we all seemed to be free
When we played together Seamus, Paddy and me
At a time when our names didn't condemn us to blame
If you were a child of the troubles.
Both sides trying to score more killing points
A grotesque game played out each day
Why should they make us all pay
If you were a child of the troubles.
Somehow one day the killing all suddenly stopped
Then it was just shouting about who was to blame
It's much better than bombs, bullets and blood
If you were a child of the troubles."

 The ironic resemblance of past & present situations that reminds of the famous quote “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” by George Santayana [The Life of Reason, 1905. From the series Great Ideas of Western Man,] & a writing found on Maurizio Bianchi's industrial masterpiece [& one of the pioneer artists & records of the genre] "Symphony For a Genocide" [1981], stated as the moral of the work itself, quote 
"The past punishment is the inevitable blindness of the present".

Sin of The Father/Hands Of Providence is a multifaceted project based in London.
Operating and collaborating with Islington ARts and performance collective Chronic Illness. Using array of contrasts/juxtapositions and contradictions within his artwork & audio projects, his approach is to explore duality of things found along the way.
