HIDE w/ Lefka - 19/09/2023

https://soundcloud.com/holysimilaun is an Italian musician and sound designer based in Treviso, Italy.
Its work sonically portrays a constant feeling of powerlessness, focusing on heavy cinematics, minimal-inspired compositions, physical modelling synthesis and non-linear time manipulations, bringing its unique perspective on internal-external human meltdowns.
After its Aphex Twin-approved debut album “En To Pan” and the sophomore album “Ansatz”, Holy Similaun returns, in collaboration with Archipel, with “Arcaskathel” and “Radicor al flort, espert on’ill il erb, aor Raetia”.

Q:"What was a crucial sound experience in your life?"
A:"Definitely noisy (I mean, loud and noise music) gigs with super loud sound systems. In particular, Emptyset in Udine in 2017 and Talpah in Venice last year. 
Also, the gigs organized by the Quarto Mondo and Dirtmor crew in Treviso were one of my main inspirations in sound. 
Currently, I'm more focused on producing experimental than club-driven music, but back in the day, the opportunity to hear heavy bass music with such a massive sound system was an immense gift for my artistic growth."

MNEMOSYNE #053 - HOLY SIMILAUN

An array of commonplace metal objects - chains, pans, a bicycle, a chair - recorded by Ross Alexander at home in Berlin during the pandemic comprise the source material of 11 𝑮𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔. Functioning as a temporal and mnemonic exploration into the nature and conception of “home”, the album evokes Alexander’s earliest memories and broader hauntological perspectives of post-industrial England:

“Growing up in South Yorkshire in the 1980s and 90s was an existence haunted with the ghosts of a heavy manufacturing industry which once thrived in the region. On both a visceral and sensorial level it might be considered equally as impossible to escape the nostalgic stories of mines and steelworks as it was to escape the smell of molten metal in the air drifting from the Don Valley.”

The improvised metallic scrapes, bangs, and bowings recorded by Alexander were further abstracted in live performances using granular sampling techniques, creating a new and extrinsic world to which subconscious thoughts can flee, sonically and contextually. The results are both dreamy and unpredictable, fusing the immediacy of acoustic percussion with the billowing resonances imbued by granular synthesis.

“On tracing back through distant memories of my formative years for sound-objects which represented to me the essential idea of ‘being from’ as opposed to ‘being a visitor’ I related to a pervasive association with the sounds of metal and metallic objects, mostly in respect to how certain structural properties relate to haptic and resonant nature and the manifestation of those properties as sonic results. I feel this is the result of growing up in a place where heavy industry, or at least the remnant of which, was central to society, community and everyday life.”

Ross Alexander - Piece 2 (ENMD-04)

Pour ce douzième volume, nous avons droit à la contribution de notre collaborateur, programmateur et matriceur @julienracine. Maître des textures et des rythmiques dissonantes, il s’est fait remarquer avec deux albums parus sur l’étiquette suisse @danse-noire-records: Quelque Chose Tombe (2020) et Amitiés (2022). Avec son comparse @keru-not-ever, il forme le duo Corporation, qui a fait paraître Graffito en 2019 et qui produit l’émission mensuelle Scène pour la @hkcrlive. Sa sélection, pour public averti seulement, ratisse large, passant du métal au jazz; il laisse entrevoir comment il réussit à réconcilier des sonorités aux extrêmes dans le reste de son œuvre.

Liste de diffusion sur Instagram (schizo_cism)

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

FUJI||||||||||TA, MMM, LP
Hallow Ground
Vinyl / digital, catalogue nr. HG2403
Ltd. purple vinyl / digital
Release date 18. April 2024

FUJI||||||||||TA returns to Hallow Ground with his second full-length for the Swiss label after it had released his international breakthrough album »iki« in early 2020. Active since 2006, the Japanese composer and sound artist has become prolific since the release of »iki,« releasing a slew of records while also touring the world. His new album »MMM« is Yosuke Fujita’s most complex so far. Changing the set-up of his pipe organ by switching to an electric air pump allowed him to activate new sonic and compositional potentials of the instrument, while he also expanded upon his experiments with his own voice. »MMM« is a masterpiece of conceptual and formal rigour—a testament to how multi-layered and versatile the music of FUJI||||||||||TA can be. 

Previous releases had already showcased Fujita's interest in working with the rhythmic potentials of the organ he built himself in 2009. Replacing its hand-operated air pump with an electric one allowed him to work with it more freely and simultaneously record its sounds. This marked the starting point for the opener »M-1,« for which he recorded the pipes by waving a gun microphone close to it, thus creating shifting rhythmic patterns. The piece engages in a perpetual play of repetition and difference, balancing sonic intensity with compositional dramaturgy. For »M-2,« the artist uses his voice and works with a singing technique he has developed over more than a decade: constantly exhaling and inhaling, he puts a strain on his internal organs in order to create what he calls a »third voice.« The resulting piece is built on a throbbing rhythmic foundation topped by wordless melodies.

»M-3« closes the album as a synthesis of these two pieces, but is far more than the mere sum of its parts. The subtle tonal shifts of the organ take on a more subdued role this time, and Fujita’s scat growling and singing reappears in processed form. »M-3« combines the rhythms and melodies of the previous pieces to let something entirely new emerge out of them, much like the album is based on perpetual changes and recombinatory strategies. In fact, Fujita explains, the acronymic title can be read in many ways: this album is minimalistic, but freely mixes and mingles different materials in magical and even metaphorical ways while also paying its dues to his wife and daughter—M. and M. Just like its title can mean a lot of different things, »MMM« itself is ever-evolving, traversing different moods and opening itself up to a plethora of interpretations at each of its many turns.
