From 'µ-Ziq - Goodbye EP' (out on Planet Mu - 1st April 2022)
https://planetmu.bleepstores.com/release/242667-ziq-goodbye

µ-Ziq says hello again with 'Goodbye'. The six track EP is the first in a series of releases by Mike Paradinas this year, which are all centred around the 25th Anniversary Edition of 'Lunatic Harness’, his classic 1997 album. 

Inspired by going back through the archives while he was remastering the Lunatic Harness reissue, 'Goodbye' sees Mike revisiting the nineties, taking on jungle and it's precursor jungle tekno and upgrading them with the benefit of hindsight and contemporary software. Imbued with Mike's lush sense of melody and his knack for striking contrasts (don't be shocked to hear maudlin piano, 303 and amens in the same track), 'Goodbye' approaches these old genres like a sandpit, and stretches them in directions only Mike might take.

‘Waters Rising’ is a collaboration with vocalist Lola Empire and was originally written around a piano sketch that was sent back and forth between the two artists until it became the fully realised song you hear now.  

"I really hadn't expected love to be a theme in the album, but I was chatting with Lola and she told me how she'd fallen in love. I sent her the initial sketch for this and told her i didn't think love was an appropriate subject for it. but she came out with this. 
'love is dark' she said."

It takes a certain brand of confidence to name yourself after three towering intellectual concepts. Note is an English term and the basis of all music. Code is the association with computers, electronics, creating something your own to add to the existing world of machines. Luv is the derivative of the word Love, a universal concept that does not need explaining. Together they create the ideal of the total or universal artwork, bringing together music, the visual arts, narrative and more into a single intoxica.

“NoteCodeLuv is an ambitious name,” he admits, “and it is something that just came to me when I was living in Toronto a few years ago. I want my music to be art, with something to say, but Notes and Coding is about details, massive music pieces, science and physics too. That means the small things, the tiny things that change everything, the detail. Just like a laboratory scientist who always keep questioning and refining their ideas. That’s what I strive towards.”

To mainstream audiences NoteCodeLuv is known for collaborating with local artists in Toronto, Lexington, and Chicago on composing music and organizing avant-garde experiences at venues and art galleries. This allows NoteCodeLuv to showcase his unique sound – dark yet light and fun, harsh but beautiful, sometimes brutal but always delicately structured.

“I don’t know why I’m drawn to dark sounds,” NoteCodeLuv admits. “It’s like when you make a movie about love,” he explains. “That’s not your life, it’s the art you have made. It’s a fiction. The music is exactly the same. Although there is nothing dark in my life, I have a facility to understand dark emotion.”

NoteCodeLuv is almost precisely as old as house music. He was born in 1989 in Moscow and discovered electronic music at the age of 16. “I was almost too shy to admit that I liked this music. It was primitive but in a serious way and I really liked that. I kept it to myself for years.” 

“I had to work again and again to find my proper sound,” he says. “The revelation came when I was listening to several artists (CINTHIE, Galcher Lustwerk, and Black Loops) over and over and I realized that my sound will come from synthesizing my life experiences, my musical talent and skill, and using these three authors as my musical mentors and guides. Together I will produce a unique deep and dark yet fun and funky playful - Speak Easy Deeper House (SEDH). It was the first rock of my building.”

"It was a precise moment when I was standing on the dark dancefloor listening to Galcher Lustwerk perform at Hot Mass in Pittsburgh in January of 2019. The music touched my heart and soul in a way that it has never before. It was then and there that I decided that I want to write music." 

NoteCodeLuv has never been a hardcore record collector, or a gig-goer, or even a clubber. ”If the music is really good I have to sit down on my own and listen”. He doesn’t even watch much TV or movies. “When I see other people’s creative work,” he says, “sometimes it overwhelms me.”

But visual art is a different matter. NoteCodeLuv is equally inspired by the impressionist style of paintings. Specifically because up close they are meaningless but from a distance they crystallize into an image. This concept of “The whole is more than the sum of its parts” is an integral component of his music. ”I love the way impressionist artists control the power over people just through the paint.” 

He approaches DJ’ing with the same meticulous way, playing uncompromising mood-driven sets which have earned acclaim. “When I go out I have to forget the technical side of the music and try to have fun,” he says, “DJ’ing can be fun, especially if I'm doing it with my close friends like NFNITI or EI. We’re friends and it’s exciting to work together. But in the end, you are playing mostly other people’s records. I prefer to play live because I feel like it's my work."
