"Fascinated by all things ‘sound’ and ‘listening’, Nithin Shams stumbled across his passion for curating listening experiences. His artistic practice revolves around facilitating listening spaces that allow listeners to enter an open, empathetic and attentive state of mind. In his free time curates mixtapes and tries to make a living producing podcasts. Nithin is also a violinist, and is trying to build a practice around live improvisation with the violin, field recordings and electronics.

Nithin grew up in a multicultural environment in Sharjah, like many migrants from his home state Kerala (India). On moving back to India, he was faced with the conundrum of 'identity' - feeling like he always belong-ed 'else'-where and 'every'where. Listening paradoxically helps him ground his being in the space he finds himself in, while also allowing him to fly around in the dreamscapes of various musical traditions from across the world. This mixtape reflects his state of mind as he was transitioning from one home to the other. He dreams of being able to sustainably live his life curating listening spaces for people.

Nithin is currently engaged in an artistic-research project where he is recording the call of the Azan as it reverberates through the cities, towns and villages of India. These recordings will be used to create an archive, and also to compose a multi-channel sound installation. This project comes at a crucial moment where majoritarian political movements in his country are working hard to rewrite 'history', erase 'culture', and change what it means to be Muslim(s) in India.

Nota de Fakesamo: 

¿Cómo entrar en Violeta? 

El folklor, el canto nuevo, el rescate, lo político, el desgarro, la locura y vitalidad; sus costados se erigen como muros que eclipsan su esencia y labor. Sus búsquedas creativas van más allá de lo puramente musical y hacen que cualquier adjetivo que se utilice quede en falta; porque ahí cuando oímos su voz, su guitarra, su ritmo, está también la vida: recopiladora de canciones,  anécdotas, dichos, refranes, fiestas, descripciones de velorios; Violeta es “jardinera / locera / costurera / Bailarina del agua transparente / Árbol lleno de pájaros cantores”, como escribió su hermano, el poeta Nicanor Parra, cuya voz podemos escuchar al inicio de esta selección. Sus colaboraciones en Cine, como lo realizado en “Mimbre”, cortometraje documental dirigido por Sergio Bravo en 1957, y en el que dio vida a una pieza de improvisación incidental que no tuvo más guía que el curso natural de las imágenes; sus exposiciones en el Museo de Louvre, lugar donde sentada en el suelo, cantó y bordó ante los ojos maravillados del público; su residencia en el castillo feudal de Suiza, en el que elaboró sus pinturas y arpilleras; su incansable recorrido por la geografía y territorios de Chile, rescatando y visibilizando, como cuenta Víctor Jara también en este mix, la verdad, lo auténtico y real de las canciones que el pueblo interpreta por tradición y que va de abuelas a madres y de madres a hijxs; o su trabajo en la Carpa de la Reina, especie de peña montada por ella misma en la periferia de Santiago a mediado de los 60; son algunos hitos que no alcanzan, que no hacen justicia a su obra, porque siempre habrá un más allá por conocer.

Violeta, como un color, se forma de lo primario y elemental; en esa mixtura surge amplia y apabullante, frágil y violenta; su ímpetu oscila entre puntos distantes, desde la calma a lo estremecedor, desde el dolor más profundo a la vitalidad más intempestiva, desde el canto a lo divino hasta el canto a lo humano, pasando por sus composiciones poco ortodoxas y experimentales que, en todo momento y en cada formato, consiguen estremecer, abrir la piel y la carne para que la vida emerja con toda su intensidad. Su voz, como dijo alguna vez el filósofo, musicólogo y entrañable amigo de Violeta, Gastón Soublette, “supera por mucho su condición individual, es la voz de un colectivo, es la cultura chilena que no quiere morir. Ella fue capaz de decir la verdad ante los poderosos, y cantarles en su cara lo que pensaba, sin importar las consecuencias”.

¿Cómo entrar en Violeta? No lo sé. Solo descubrí esta forma; abrir lentamente las puertas, visitar cada una de sus composiciones, dialogar con ellas, aprender de ellas y estremecerme con ellas. Pero esta es solo mi forma, mi manera de recorrer su historia, una selección que nace de un diálogo y resulta en esta selección que, como en cualquier otra, abunda en ausencias y silencios. Pero ahí, en ese vacío, también reside una invitación: abrir otras puertas y dar con nuevas maneras de dar con ella. 

Este mix está dedicado a Laura Estévez, Fernando Guzzoni y Nicolás Jaar; cómplices de esta escucha. 

Selección:

1) En defensa de Violeta Parra.
2) Verso por Saludo de Despedimiento de Angelito.
3) Que Yo No Quiero Problemas. Tributo a David de María (Fragmento).
4) Anticueca 2.
5) Mimbre (Fragmento).
6) Qué vamos a hacer.
7) Mimbre (Fragmento).
8) El Gavilán (Versión Larga).

13) Santiago penando estás.
14) Maldigo del Alto Cielo.

The initial seed for this project was planted in 2020 when Nicolás Jaar wrote the song “Piedras” for a concert at the Museum of Memory & Human Rights in Santiago, Chile, which commemorates the victims of human rights violations during the military dictatorship led by Augusto Pinochet between 1973 and 1990. Between 2022-2023 it took on a new form as a radio play entitled 'Archivos de Radio Piedras', which was shared on a dedicated Telegram channel. In 2024, the play was converted into a 24 channel installation at the University Museum of Mexico City (MUAC), where it was exhibited for 5 months.

Piedras 1 and 2 is a collection of the tracks featured within the play, all new music by Jaar, but partly presented within the play as the music of Salinas Hasbún (the name a composite homage to Jaar's grandmothers, Graciela Salinas and Miriam Hasbún).

The play follows two friends mourning the disappearance of Salinas Hasbún, a musician and writer who vanished in the early 2020s. Although they live in a future where technology is advanced, they resort to DIY radio methods because the anonymous group “Las 0cho” has launched a worldwide attack on undersea internet cables, causing a global internet blackout.

The play's central theme revolves around the idea that truths, memories and identities speak from the cracks (“rasgaduras”), or the "in-between" spaces ("en el entre"). This concept is supported by the way much of the narration unfolds - in the liminal spaces between radio frequencies. The instability and transitory nature of a constantly shifting radio dial becomes not just a metaphor but the structure of the play itself. It’s in these moments of noise, static and interference that the deeper revelations of the story emerge. This disjointed, ever-changing medium mirrors the way memory and trauma operate within the play - non-linear, slipping through the gaps, found in fragments or ordinary moments, rather than direct transmissions of “official” historical accounts.

This notion reaches its climax at the end of the narrative, when a text is discovered in which Salinas speaks of finding a new number in a small pond in a cave mentioned in the first episodes of the radio play. This pond, inside the “cochlea of the world”, is seen as a way to introduce real-life randomness to computation. Embodied in the salt lakes of northern Chile, home to the world’s oldest bacteria, this randomness disrupts the rigid order of binary code, paving the way for a transformation of digital life.

Okokon returns to Other People with his sophomore album, 'Offering', delving deeper into the lush and cinematic soundscapes he first explored on his debut album, 'Turkson Side'. While primarily working in visual arts, Africanus Okokon, who records under his surname, bridges his artistic practices in 'Offering', using his masterful collage techniques to create his most personal work yet. Defying easy categorization, the album melds influences from dream pop, avant-garde folk, psychedelia, trip hop, and dub, with traces of field recordings seamlessly blended throughout to form a cohesive whole.

'Offering' sees Okokon confronting and negotiating a sudden and unexplained death that occurred in his childhood and the complex emotions left in its aftermath, acting as his main inspiration when making the album. This ambiguity is something that permeates throughout, with Okokon wanting to explore the ambivalence and sometimes uneasiness of contradicting emotions appearing simultaneously, alluded to in the album title. This is also reflected in how the album tracks each inhabit different narrators with varying perspectives on the same events. The result being a hauntingly beautiful album, with recurring themes of death, growth, sacrifice and spirituality ever present.

Lyrics:
I never know what you’re on about
The reason we don’t see you
The reason’s just a sound
But you don’t know that you’re just a sound
And me, you know,
It’s not complicated:
I’m for the birds,
Not for the cages.
The strength of your face
The length of your dying eyes
We’ve come way too far
To imagine what’s left
The strength of your faith
And I look into your dying eyes
And I look at your lying eyes

a peak is just the way towards 
a descent

look around not ahead

(you have nowhere to look)

look around not ahead

a peak is just the way towards 
a descent

the forces on the hill
manifested by what you perceive as wind

look around not ahead.
