BOUSSINESQ APPROXIMATION

Ex Wiish is a fleeting dream. The new musical project of Ben Shirken, a sound artist and composer based in New York City.

Shirken is the founder of record label & performance series 29 Speedway which features improvisational electronic music, 4-point guerrilla sound installations, live multimedia performances and has hosted Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, Poncili Creación, Debit, Pent, James K and various other New York-based artists. Shirken also produces for and plays modular synths in acclaimed free jazz group ‘Nu Jazz’ with Dan Orlowski of electronic hardcore staple Deli Girls.

Their debut record, “Shards of Axel'', is out on Incienso June 23, 2023. Born from a story-based video game composition; the listener finds themselves as the disoriented main player respawned into a harrowing, metallic landscape, wandering through cable ridden labyrinths, caught in progress traps as digital noises grind past submerged cityscapes.

'Today, My Friend' is taken from Ex Wiish's 'Shards of Axel' LP

Augustin Braud - Trônes Amoncelés
CD / Digital
Released 28.03.25

Following a monograph of chamber music pieces performed by Ensemble Alternance, Trônes Amoncelés is the second LP by composer, musicologist and multi-instrumentalist Augustin Braud — a recipient of commissions from groups such as Ensemble Intercontemporain or Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, as operatoring under the industrial experimental moniker Ohr Hiemis as well as in the progressive metal band Erebe.

Inspired by Antonin Artaud's Les dix-huit secondes and written during a residency at La Muse en Circuit, the piece blends digital manipulations of Braud's voice with the legendary 50 years-old Serge modular synthesiser as well as meticulous guitar work. The restriction of the instrumentarium offers a coherence in otherness, as the sound sources blend into an analogue, distorted maelstrom. The abrupt variations and use of feedback reflect the madness and dread transpiring from Artaud's art, as when listening to the chilling Pour en finir avec le jugement de Dieu (1947).

In this piece, the composer becomes a récitant as well as a performer and improviser, blurring the boundaries of the roles usually assigned to composers; the text of Les dix-huit secondes is thrown into an abyss blurred by frameworks and functions, but also by genres. Braud borrows as much from musique concrète as from no-wave in this hallucinatory, radical work, carried along by the obscure breath of black metal, the soundtrack of a world more than ever eroded.

YancityGurl - Shynet Ghost Macrotouch
Digital / Charity Release
28.03.25

"This release narrates fluently, but quite broadly. Its ellipsis symbolizes the permanent and arrhythmic pulse of time, in which anxiety and uncertainty have become the main criteria dividing any agency.

"A" is the initiating moment, immersion. Here, poetic postcards of the environment sparkle, inside which a ball of noise confidently swells, gradually pursuing and displacing a concise model of behavior, eventually turning everything into chaos.

"Topology" is a bundle of sounds and memories, where each slot becomes a marker of change, whether it's stumbling modular samples, a piano recorded in browser tabs, or a full—fledged story with a holistic structure that fades before it even begins.

"Walls", a final title composed of R&B diva vocals, a doomed reese bass part and infernal pads, sums up the mood, defining itself as a kind of symbol of the illusion of stability in this ragged chain."

All funds from this release are donated to https://livyj-bereh.org/

Livyj Bereh restores roofs for families and individuals who have had their homes decimated in the brutal war in Ukraine. 

“Their use of modest black corrugated metal roofs produces an architectural act of collective care and resistance across the country, as powerful as any civic monument and documented with the unflinching eye of the greatest war art.”

– Jury chair Tom Emerson RA and Stephanie Macdonald RA, 6a architects

Since May 2022, they have restored over 380 roofs across the Charkiv, Černihiv, and Kyiv regions at a cost of around €2000 per roof.

Alongside this hands-on restoration work, Livyj Bereh raises awareness globally through exhibitions, documenting the cultural and architectural heritage threatened by the conflict.
