some days felt like home

@karisa-correa - 'cold metal, heavy mind' is part of Gravity Pleasure's inaugural release, Water Bodies: a rippling compilation of FLINTA* artists and collaborators that invites listeners into an aqueous paraworld.

Across 21 tracks, Water Bodies spans a post-genre miasma of ethereal mermaid music, cathartic flows, and glistening sibilants ~ each one an exquisite message-in-a-bottle of deep diving emotionality. Pulling from a wide-range of musical perspectives ~ field recording, lovesick ballads, shimmering downtempo, post-party comedown, and percolating ambient ~ the compilation contains multitudes yet maintains deep sentimental coherence. Like a wave crashing in slow motion, it sonifies possible ways of being, insisting on the porous, the interdependent, and the deep and unruly. Water Bodies reminds us that home is a body made of water, to which we all belong.

~~*~~

Home is a body made of water.
Remember.

Close eyes.
Listen to drips; hear voices.
What do they tell you?
Make your body a grotto.
What does it hold?

Spider’s tapestry: flycatcher.
Roadmap: net of sinews.
Lost in night forest: seek breadcrumbs.
Remember?
Body is lighthouse: shine through cloud canopy.
Body is fish: wet is all you know.

Sink deep, fly high,
stretch your arpeggio from young to old.
Remember.

Flora Yin Wong - Kotohiki [GP01 - Water Bodies VA]

"Illuminotecnica is a slacker’s exploration of ecstatic techniques in sound, echoing the free-form drift of elemental flows across the motherboard. Celestial data streams. Mineral rhythms loop in cycles within cycles. A glitch pulses at the heart of the sun while the sky turns green.

What reveals itself through divergent, simultaneous patterns?
What do we hear when we let the aural flood loose?

Set it free—let it spiral inside out. From the cracked shell, new forms emerge: thought-forms, feel-forms, signal-forms shaped by frequencies we don’t yet know how to decode. Shapes that shimmer at the edge of language. Emotions without names. Visions that flicker in the periphery—half-seen, half-sensed—like memories from a future that hasn’t happened yet."
