MANANA

The idea for this track came to me when I was listening to the rattling of a passing train in Tokyo. I imagined the sound to be extremly slowed down.

November - 11月

"Apartaron la última roca y estaba ahí,
un brillo cegador que les quemaba el Iris,
al que no podían dejar de mirar,
era como mirar al Sol".

ESPECTRO DORADO es un álbum y performance audiovisual de Marta Verde y José Venditti que profundiza en la experiencia mística del brillo dorado a través de la luz, la imagen y el sonido.

Una propuesta audiovisual que explora los matices del espectro; del oro molido al bruñido, del dorado crisolita al del latón, para indagar en la conexión humana con el metal precioso.

✨✨✨✨✨✨

A lo largo de la historia, el color dorado ha simbolizado la abundancia, la riqueza y el poder, siendo el oro uno de los metales más preciados y acuñado en monedas como valor patrón. Sin embargo, la fascinación áurea ha trascendido su relación simbólica con el poder y la riqueza.

Antes de su valor comercial, los pueblos de la América precolombina utilizaron el oro con fines espirituales y ceremoniales. Así, mientras que el "dorado sabio" representaba un espectro de colores que elevaba los espíritus a estadios superiores de consciencia, la alquimia europea creía que el oro era el más perfecto de los metales al contener una "esencia vital" única. La ansiada transmutación del plomo en oro era, para esta protociencia, una metáfora perfecta de la salida de las tinieblas del alma humana.

Dorados también se representan los halos de santidad, la manzana de la discordia que portaba Eris, los orbes solares de algunos dioses egipcios como Ra, o la piel de Chaitania en India.

Desde tiempos inmemoriales se han adornado los instrumentos musicales con oro. Apolo tocaba la cítara, Afrodita la flauta y Orfeo la lira, doradas todas ellas. Sus sonidos divinos obraban milagros. El uso de esta tonalidad perdura en nuestros días en los instrumentos de viento y percusión a través del latón.

Elvin Brandhi - Shelf Life (EP)*OUT NOW*

Format: Digital, Cassette
Cat.No: CANVAS003

*

“
Sickness unto death in an age of commodified well-being: approaching death from the point of view of an actualised virtual eternity. The commodification of daily life and the self, preclude the possibility of reincarnation, we do not identify ourselves as a cycle, a movement, an expression of life itself but as a single product that exists in and for itself.
 
The supermarket social network obliterates the surface of material hybridising, detaining all movement to self enclosed unit reductions, excommunicating mutation. Encapsulated in a fixed identity, packaged and promoted, immune to the infection of outsiders. The social contract of a pre-sealed self, branded with calculated sell by date, sentenced to a shelf life of inter-passive exchange.  
 
Shelf Life compiles this synthetic axis, upon which we bide out time smiling.  
Interrupt user: authorise disk-root conflict[ 
”

Elvin Brandhi is welcomed to the index of C.A.N.V.A.S. releases as the first solo release of 2019 and the third commission since the conversion from events series to label in 2018. As a performance nomad whose very practice is simultaneously about engagement with place and a lack of geographic singularity - there could not be a more fitting accomplice to C.A.N.V.A.S.’ effort as a self-publishing artist group to build a collaborative community despite increasing dispersion. This is the solo project of Welsh artist Freya Edmondes - otherwise known for her role as vocalist in father/daughter duo Yeah You - in which performances mesh a collage of electronic sounds with a disruptive stream of improvised vocals. These tracks are as close to studio versions as this fundamentally live practice gets - roaming recordings, sample blasts, club contortions and the ever present voice alchemically infused. In 25’46” of sound, Elvin’s bio-technological monster appears like a Cronenberg body horror - mouths appearing where they shouldn’t - or a living, breathing post-digital Beckett character narrating their own club induced self-destruction. Yet the future shock is fresh - Shelf Life is as fun to listen to as it is completely disarming.
