OP 𓅛 mix 5 - Nicolas Jaar for xlr8r (2009)

Ali and Nico speak about veils, solidarity, the poetry of Faiz Ahmad Faiz and how they met through their common friend Somnath Bhatt. They also play their new song Yakjehti Mein that features the poetry of Faiz. This show was first aired on Palestinian Radio Alhara on May 25 2021, part of the Sonic Liberation Front broadcast.

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.

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

1. 
[they say:]

savior come down savior come down savior come down savior come down savior come down 

2. 
[they hum…]

3.

En las cenizas 
Vamos a armar 
No saber nada 
Es mejor

Ya no cabe nada 
Pero estamos juntos 
Sin noticias 
Del otro mundo 

Y cada día
Nuestro mundo
Se achica 
O se derrumba 

Y lo único que 
Me han dicho sobre el tema
Es que es el sentido común de una flecha

Y lo único que 
Me han dicho 
Es que es el sentido común de una flecha 

Y porque no responde
El sentido común 
No puedo utilizar su lenguaje 

Su lenguaje 

(TRANSLATION)= =

In the ashes,
we will form
knowing nothing now is better

there’s no space for anything
but we are together
without news of another world

and everyday,
our world, 
shrinks
or crumbles.

and the only thing they have said about any of this: 
is that it’s ‘the common sense of an arrow’. 

the only thing they have said about any of this: 
is that it’s ‘the common sense of an arrow’. 

but why doesn’t common sense respond?
I can no longer use its language.

6. mud

come in, 
don’t leave.

grown man:
can’t see.

figures out 
he can’t be
sunken with the crown

old man
i can’t see
you’re in the way
i can’t see me,

we must confess:

illusions number time

…

a drunk man’s on the lead
skies and all bleed
and no one can hear
the cry from the ground

it’s something to dig

there’s something in the mud
there’s something in the mud
there’s something in the mud

7. [instrumental]

8. sunder

Vapor’s forming,

And now I see right behind my eyes.

If the old you could tell me 
if the old you could tell me:

a win is a win 
but a loss is the death of a twin and we borrow

And we borrow.

Forming vapors,

behind my eyes,

And now I see right behind my eyes.


In the words of a prophet 
Sunder,
In the shape of the first and last
Sunder,
In the springs of the church of sin
Sunder,
In the blood of the hands that last,
Sunder,


Does a lock seek erosion?
Does a loss seek revenge of sin?

Right behind my eye,


We borrowed from the page of saint maurice
Named the mountain an egyptian saint
Drank the water from the church of springs
Does a loss seek revenge of sin?

Right behind my eye,

Is there blood in the court? 
Is there blood in the ceiling?
do we need to be still? 
Do we need your dominion?

Is there blood in the court? 
Is there blood in the ceiling?
do we need to be still? 
do we need to be still? 

Is there blood in the court? 
Is there blood in the ceiling?
do we need to be still? 
Do we need your dominion? 

9. hello, chain

won't you change, nature?
along me?
carry on your chain,
hell of chain.

we will now wait,
patience is our virtue,
NOW JUST WAIT.

10. [instrumental]

11. [instrumental]

12. 

[I hum]

13. 

carried by a force until a certain peak
there, all you could see,
is swayed by the wind
like the locks in your hair
coloring your eyes
that look nowhere

like a faith made of silk

look around not ahead

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.
