Urban Sonic Derive - A Sonic Deterritorialization

The "derive" is a psycho-geographical technique with exploratory, politic and artistic purposes that consists in a break from the classical way of crossing a territory, and that prefers a casual way of walking and moving, letting oneself go to new stimuli and unexpected events and adopting new points of view.

It consists in taking escape routes from hegemonic notions of order, rationality and structure, encouraging the emergence of an open, borderless, unpredictable territory: the linearity of time is suspended, deceived by the transitions and hidden forces of the city; there is emotional disorientation. In this way it is possible to capture non-dimensional information that expands the vision of the territory: aspects and nuances from real life, information and sensations that help us to understand, deterritorialize and riterritorialize space. The urban context thus loses its organization, is reset and reconstructed through the emergence of new situations and new models.

In terms of sound, this becomes an act of decomposition, disintegration and subversion of the structured and organized urban soundscape, for the benefit of an emergence and reorganization of the individual elements that compose it: each sound-object-event takes on meaning as such, and not only as part of a structure, linked in an ecosystem, revealing in turn new meanings and languages.

All material was recorded, collected and processed in September 2021 in the city of Milan (Italy) for the performance by MMT Creative Lab “Parade Electronique 2021: Paesaggi Sonori” at Teatro Arsenale in Milan.

Yandira - El Tío Caramelo (Incl. Spear, Dark Vektor & Erika remixes) (SD005)

Grief, it is something some of us know first hand and most of us will eventually know at some point in our lives. It is an inescapable reality of living, of loving, and caring for something so much, the reality of losing it initiates a transformational process of our being and psychology. It is a painful reminder that life is, in fact, temporary and the choices we make while we still can, matter. 

From a scientific perspective there is a lot we now know about the grieving process. Research shows that the dimensions of space, time, and perceived closeness all impact how we feel pain.  We feel it when we lose people but it also extends to other things we have a closeness to. Activists have caught on to this idea and used it to protest climate inaction - laying dead in public spaces, gathering for red processions, and even holding funerals for dying glaciers. 

This serves as inspiration for this year’s mix, using sound to explore the process of grief in relation to some of the remotest places in the world. It is intended to show the frigid beauty of our polar regions and the processes surrounding this vast mass of frozen life; changing faces with the rising heat, slowly moving and shifting from solid giants to melting objects.

As they break away from us and their fate is streamed across the world to reach our devices, do we feel a shiver down our spine at the news of their slow icy death? Can we draw a connection between their lives and our own?

Our ability to feel grief beyond our immediate connection to people is in some ways more about our ability to know the true closeness and value of something outside our own small world. This knowledge hinges on the way we come to understand our closeness, and the way that it is being communicated to us. 

The reason I do this Strange Rituals series is because sound is a powerful mode of communication, and it can help bridge connections to other states of being. Although this was one of the most challenging topics to grapple with in this series, it is also one of the most important. 

Grief can be painful to confront but I chose it for this mix because it can also invoke a motivating state. My hope is this small action can raise awareness and challenge the ability of our perception to exist & feel beyond the immediate, confronting climate anxiety head on, going through the process and taking action in the best way we can.

Strange Rituals Vol.7 - Grief

For Erika’s second album “Anevite Void”, she explores her live process as it permeates everything she does, including documenting the process of life in the elaborate sci fi mythology she created. 

@erikadotnet began performing live in Ectomorph in 1997 when she was gifted a TR-606 by BMG and asked to join the group. This grew to her building her own studio, performing solo as Erika, collaborating with people like Jay Ahern and Noncompliant, and performing as a member of Circle of Live. Her depth of thought and clarity of vision has led to her mentoring people on live performance through the In Bloom platform, where she has made a large impact on many up and coming musicians. 

“Anevite Void”, Erika’s new album, finds her organically writing songs for her live shows, allowing them to take shape through performance, and later recording them in the studio, making this the first album she has entirely written and produced on her own. Mixed by long time collaborator BMG, she finds this record as the launching point for a new process for her.

Conceptually, this album was inspired by “the irregular life cycles created by three suns circling over a planetary organism that presents two major biomes: rocky crystalline desert, and deep layered forest, each of which exists above and/or below ground, depending on what phase the suns are in.” From this realm the album took shape. She also chronicled this concept in drawings but found this painting by Detroit puckish punk legend Nai Sammon perfectly visually explained the concept, and chose it for the cover. She describes “each track is about an organic process that occurs: acts of survival of the biomes, or what happens between them and the multitude of other beings that they host.”

Erika is currently splitting her time between being based in Berlin and Detroit, is part of the triumvirate that runs Interdimensional Transmissions (BMG, Erika and Amber) that are releasing this record and produce legendary events such as No Way Back, Samhain and Return to the Source. She performs live and DJs and collaborates and oozes sonic truth in its many forms. Visit the “Anevite Void” in early 2023.

Anevite Void

Erika - Anevite Void (Preview Clips) [IT 50]

“Anevite Void Remixed” showcases some of the many diverse influences on Erika’s critically acclaimed second solo album “Anevite Void”. 

Here her ambient album closer “Wandering Mountain” transforms into two faces of techno, first the monolithic hypnotic slab of sound from Mike Parker then to a powerful peak time melodic banger from Wata Igarashi. The other side features a totally different take on her influences, with Eris Drew delivering her “Body Rock Remix” fusing a number of styles to push the highlight of Erika’s album to new heights, and Whodat discovering a deeper side to “Tomorrow’s Fires”. The digital version includes a slamming techno and electro fusion mix from Noncompliant of “Anion”. 

Erika began performing live in Ectomorph in 1997 when she was gifted a TR-606 by BMG and asked to join the group. This grew to her building her own studio, performing solo as Erika, collaborating with people like Jay Ahern and Noncompliant, and performing as a member of Circle of Live.
