“As a kid I could never fall asleep without my headphones,” reveals Adam Dove aka Nexcyia, speaking to Rob Turner. “I remember falling asleep listening to Jay-Z and Kid Cudi: it became ambient to me.” London based artist Dove aims to create sonic experiences akin to an augmented reality through sound collages, installations and manipulated video work. In his interview in The Wire 461, Dove discusses Afro-surrealism, the sonification of race, his own introduction to ambient music whilst being hospitalised, and more.

Here, Dove shares a brand new mix featuring tracks by several of his musical acquaintances, and others. “This mix was inspired by a quote from the book Invisible Man (1952) by Ralph Ellison,” says Nexcyia over email, “I now can see the darkness of lightness. And I love light. Perhaps you'll think it strange that an invisible man should need light, desire light, love light. But maybe it is exactly because I am invisible. Light confirms my reality, gives birth to my form.”

“I wanted to sonify the idea that the darkness of lightness can confirm presence,” he continues, “some of the tracks by Racine evoke these feelings, as well as, feelings of otherness and loneliness – I wanted to compile tracks that evoke meditative temple-like atmospheres.”

« I have great fear (I am very afraid. And they are not quite the same).
To speak publicly and truly about my own musicality (as private a part of me as my “sexuality”—and frightening to speak of for that, but more frightening still because it is more completely a part of me than that which the world calls “sex” being also the fabric of my public life). »

A serious effort not to think straight w/ Romane Constant (17/09/24)

Musician, sculptor, & designer, born & raised in Cyprus, Yakovlev materialises artefacts such as ceramic sculptures, transcendental music & post-societal clothing.

Yakovlev has composed & performed music for live shows, films, virtual realities & art performances since 2018.

Presenting his first mixtape assembled solely with his own compositions, he invites you to dive deep, hand in hand, into a synthetic dream- to sweep through sonic waters into a nonlinear space, to drift & dissolve, to emerge pure again. This is your baptism.
