VC-118A @ Onyro — 05/10/2024 (Live Performance · “Shinki-Itten” Concept)

A deep sonic journey by VC-118A, recorded live at Onyro on October 5th, 2024, inspired by the Japanese concept shinki-itten , the return to the original spirit, the dissolution of the self into the collective pulse.
This performance moves fluidly through electro’s precision, the spacious depths of dub, and delicate IDM textures, revealing a sound both cerebral and profoundly emotive. 
An introspective yet physical experience that mirrors the timeless atmosphere of his latest release on Delsin Records “Avian”

VC-118A @ Onyro Shinki-Itten

"Je me souviens du moment où j’ai envoyé le premier morceau là, au cœur du champ monumental de Teillé. La chaleur tombait sur nous comme un drap de feu, et le soleil, lui, s’amusait à percer les feuilles des arbres pour venir s’éparpiller en éclats dorés sur la poussière. À chaque pas des danseurs, cette poussière s’élevait en voile léger, comme si le sol lui-même respirait avec nous.
Devant moi, le public,  des visages ouverts, des yeux qui semblaient écouter autant que les oreilles, des corps suspendus aux moindres nuances des morceaux que je passais. 
Le son roulait entre les troncs, se tordait dans la lumière, et je me sentais porté par quelque chose de plus vaste que la musique. Au festival Loire’zonde, ce jour-là, j’ai eu le sentiment rare d’être exactement à ma place — un simple passeur de vibrations, sous un soleil qui brillait assez fort pour graver chaque seconde dans la mémoire." - Oreste

"A spark becomes momentum: rhythms splinter and recombine, bell-like echoes circling through coils of bass and kinetic percussion. What unfolds is a hybrid voyage shaped in real time - instinct over structure, curiosity over certainty - a shared current of energy where experimentation finds its own pulse."


On one side, Parautas (@parautas64848754) is the electronic music production and performance project of Santiago de Compostela–born artist Charli Gómez. Centred on sound creation through a range of electronic devices, Parautas focuses most of his work on the live format. On the other, Marini (@mmmarini) is a regular fixture in the crowd at Espacio Perpendicular, only stepping behind the decks in the summer of 2023, inspired by the venue’s distinctive musical direction.

Author's note: The idea for the hybrid set was a last-minute suggestion for a New Year’s Eve private party - an intimate gathering of friends with no greater ambition than ringing in 2025 in the best company possible. It was a gift to kick off the year with a session there, taking that shared impulse to play and experiment into a hybrid format, without rehearsals and using new gear such as Torso Electronics’ S4. What you hear is the result: a live jam blending sampled bell chimes, old patterns and newly discovered labels like Third Foundation, creating a fresh and communal space for both of us and our closest friends.

a piece of memory from a joyful interlude 

"I have very fond memories of my stay in Bordeaux. I was eager to listen to and play on klape nunsen's magnificent sound system. Being inspired by their musical and visual universe, I expected to find this approach reflected in the way they set up their sound and organize gatherings. I wasn't disappointed at all, and it was a great opportunity for me to try out some new songs for the live show. 

It was also my first time at Les Vivres de l'Art, which I had heard a lot about. Thank you, Léo and Simon, for the warm welcome, and a loving thought for their Swiss friends who filled the fridge with chocolate and cheese!"

Post-punk provocateur Autumns has been catapulting angular weapons over the ramparts since 2014…

Carving out a fierce reputation across labels like Downwards, Opal Tapes, iDEAL Recordings and DKA Records. Christian Donaghey’s relentless live show has seen him tour worldwide alongside Veronica Vasicka, Silent Servant, and Wire, delivering workouts that pummel those lower frequencies into submission.

 
Now, as he joins Ransom Note with the ferocious EP ‘Through the Construction of Grace’ EP, the “lanky, ginger man from Derry” offers up a mix that captures his intuitive approach to music-making. Recorded in his bedroom, it’s a journey through the sounds that have shaped Autumns’ “awful attempts at ripping off every bit of music that I like” from DJ Hell & Alan Vega collaborations to deep Post-Punk in Dub territory.

It’s confusing, distorted vocals and atonal blasts that taste like marmalade, and moves with the scrappy resourcefulness of a raccoon.

Worry less. Listen intuitively.

Let’s get go…

Autumns - The Ransom Note Mix

Raw modular sounds, tribal percussions and mystical atmospheres.

Located in the Burgundy vineyards, Sindh takes his inspiration from the
rawness of the soil and ancient sonorities. His ability to move flowingly
through genres has led him to develop a unique sound palette of
contemporary transcendental soundscapes.

The Ouroboros festival member determines himself with a raw, deep and
ritualistic sound, navigating across techno, trance and drum’n’bass. In both
his productions and live performances, Sindh blends hypnotic grooves with
immersive sonic textures to plunge listeners into a state of trance.

Raär is a producer, live act, DJ and studio mastering engineer from Belgium. A true artist, who is not pinned down on one particular style or emotion: from soothing ambient to heavy and dark percussion based techno workouts to IDM-inspired takes on everything in-between.
 
This live set was captured at the Stagno Records and Omen Wapta night in Milan last year and is one of his first longform live appearances. This set distills fragility and force into a compact, tactile listening experience. A rare snapshot of process in evolution: Raär’s performance moves with restraint, built around unreleased material, early sketches from his Incentive LP (released on Omen Wapta earlier this year) and glimpses of what’s to come in his collaboration with Stagno.
