A Rat Song
lyrics: John Barker & Ines Doujak
music: Maja Osojnik
mastering: Matija Schellander 

composed for a new podcast series by Ines Doujak on the history of pandemics titled Transmission: A series of five Podcasts on Disease and Pandemics in a Distorted World (2021) in collaboration with John Barker.

The podcast series looks at the social and cultural history of pandemics, beginning with the global transmission of diseases that was facilitated by European colonialism. Interwoven with spoken word, music and songs, Doujak and Barker consider how the spread of disease, parasite and infestation throughout history has created a dehumanised language, which has entered political vocabulary, specifically directed at migrants, minorities and the poor.

Commissioned by Liverpool Biennial. This project was produced in collaboration with Phileas, with support from the Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, the Civil Service and Sport of Austria, Austrian Cultural Forum London and the Estate of Fanchon Fröhlich.

Moogfest is proud to announce an exclusive remix from Moor Mother and collaborator King Britt. This is part of our ongoing collaboration with our 2017 line-up. Below Moor Mother describes the track in her own words. Enjoy. 

From Moor Mother... 

The remix represents Philadelphia at its best, King Britt has been an artist that I have had the honor to perform with and learn many things just by watching him.  I am thankful that he has remixed one of my favorite songs from the album originally produced by artist Wizard Apprentice.  Time Float speaks about the environmental warfare that continues to plague historical African American and low income communities.

"...has an imperial, exacting beauty." (The Wire)
“…few albums have hit us as hard as Caterina Barbieri’s 70-minute opus, Patterns Of Consciousness. On her debut full-length, Barbieri commands tsunami-height waves of arpeggiated analog synths." (Fact Mag)
"Patterns Of Consciousness finds Caterina Barbieri at her best, elegantly moving between melodically pleasant yet twisted sequences and comforting, reassuring sonic spaces. Every piece, while given a singular identity, is part of the bigger picture: a work of art that will push you, pull you, and then eventually leave you with your back against the wall once you get to the last track. " Alessandro Cortini (Nine Inch Nails)

Das Trio otherMother bestehend aus Arthur Fussy (Drumcomputer: DFAM), Jul Dillier (Präpariertes Klavier) und Judith Schwarz (Erweitertes Schlagzeug) will mit dem Programm MetaMorph eine rhythmische Klangsymbiose erschaffen. Eine Verschmelzung von akustischen und elektronischen Klängen, die Beat-⁠bezogene, perkussive Klanggeflechte entwickeln und nicht nur das Interesse des Publikums der experimentellen Musik wecken soll. Trotz unkonventioneller Besetzung, experimenteller Spieltechniken und dem frei improvisatorischen Ansatz versuchen sie die Grenzen der musikalischen Genre in so fern auszuloten, um in Zukunft auch vermehrt, abseits der überschaubaren Auftrittsmöglichkeiten für experimentelle und frei improvisierte Musik, in anderen Feldern derMusik-⁠ Szenen mit diesem Projekt einzutauchen.
