OB0461 — The Sounds They Made

ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴀʀᴛɪꜱᴛ

Rama is a multidisciplinary artist and DJ. She grew up between Egypt and France and is now based in Berlin. She co-founded the Cairo based independent music platform irsh in 2019. As a DJ, Rama swiftly made a name for herself in Cairo’s electronic and dance scene by performing at underground parties such as VENT and MOSHTRQ. She is recognized for her ability to draw from a diverse range of sounds without being constrained by genres, with a method of mixing more akin to live mashups than regular blends. Rama also hosts a monthly show on Noods Radio, a space that allows her to play music that may not always be suited for the club.

🌿 ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ꜱᴏɴɪᴄ ᴀɢᴇɴᴄʏ

Spurred on by the acuteness of current global events, we are raising our voices in solidarity with the oppressed, the tortured, the silenced, and the unheard. While humanity is at stake, and our values are on trial, in moments of despair, rage and endless grief, acts of solidarity are needed more than ever. The events that shake Palestine and Israel are resulting in an ever-tighter spiral of violence and desperation. They are a horrific wake-up call that brutally brings the precarious situation on our planet to the fore. The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, and Israel’s collective punishment of Palestinian civilians are intolerable. On top of that, the military actions threaten the lives of the remaining hostages in the Gaza-Strip, and even more innocent people in Gaza.

…being together, in community

SONIC AGENCY - RAMA - "Untitled"

@icfam

The 43rd release of katharsis is the album “Love Language” by the Danish artist icfam. It is evocative like a long makeout session, tongue action specifically. icfam celebrates the long journeys to daydreamy destinations on a record that is romantic and peaceful, yet at times highly energetic.

Through streamlined synthesis and arrangements, icfam produces a composite world of sound that carries a message of love and simplicity. Despite the meticulous care for sound design on this record, the use of intuitive sounds and phrases so simple, sometimes approaches a sort of mindlessness. Building conceptually on sinewaves as the only sound that really exists, the artist develops a nonfragmented illusion through obsession over the harmonic series and melodies within melodies.

Love Language is both reassuring and mystifying, like your favourite lullaby. As well as intoxicatingly painful like exquisite torture. icfam wants to express a special feeling one might get from going to the hospital. A cathartic feeling of being safe and held.

If you’ve fallen from above
You’re walking with your woes
If there’s nowhere to run
The happy hospital

Sticky keys stuck on CTRL+V. Circuit loops. Something, something, grain of the voice. 
I made 6 chapters for this mix — utterances, industry, RPG, infoglut, dark forest, rips — but they collapsed into one another. researchcore, crushcore, corecore.
zourry flip. A lag, time buffers – a small rupture that pulls our attention outwards. Fingers caught in the margins of scans. Meditating on the loading circle. Acousmatic labour. Proliferation. Dissolution. Repetition. boring ahhhh. Re-production

[SOFT.spot] Zourry - SUPERCELLECTUAL

To give you an idea of the scope of the Barcelona-based label Modern Obscure Music, they have released records from both Japanese noise legend Merzbow and British bass experimenter Shackelton. They have worked with German artist Wolfgang Tillmans and the late Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto. But the label was actually started as an outlet for its founder, Pedro Vian, to put out his own diverse brand of electronic music.

Since then, Modern Obscure Music has grown into an open-hearted experimental music label that operates without boundaries—both sonically and geographically. The label’s mix for Nina follows this logic. “Experimental sounds predominantly define the label, but I'm not committed to a specific style,” Vian says in our interview. “I release what I enjoy, and when I discover something interesting, I feel the need to share it.” Listen to the mix and check out our interview with Vian below.

You can collect the mix for free on Nina: https://www.ninaprotocol.com/releases/modern-obscure-music-nina-label-mix-024

I thought I'd set a challenge for myself while learning the Intellijel Atlantix by making a track with 100% sounds created with the module. From percussion, bass, pads, and chords, to textural effects, everything was created with the Atlantix and recorded into Ableton where I layered sounds and built out an arrangement. 

Added some slight compression and reverb/delay to certain tracks using Valhalla Delay, VintageVerb, and FutureVerb.

I'll take another pass at this track to sub out some sounds — particularly the chords, as I don't like how they sit in the mix, and sequencing and recording each note of the chord individually and layering in Ableton was a faff.

Overall, enjoyed the experiment and learnt a lot about what the Atlantix is capable of! Constraints breed creativity.
