Endurance - Expanding Repetition

5. SHALLOW - DEEP

We go about our daily lives without giving it much thought. In the morning, we wake up to the alarm on our smartphones, turn on the tap, wash our faces with the water that comes out, and brush our teeth. We eat breakfast heated in the microwave, oven, or on the stove, and then we take the train or drive to work or school.

If we don't pay attention, the day goes by without us feeling anything special. But this is not the norm. We are just standing on top of the layers of history that our predecessors have gradually accumulated through their wisdom and effort. And we are only part of the layer that the next generation and the generation after that will stand on.

This work imitates the accumulation of such invisible history in sound. The sounds don't build up, just five mundane five-minute drones, but if you pay attention, you'll notice that they change little by little. I believe that to observe this is to see the invisible history and to get to the essence of things.

An album recorded at Les Lilas - near Paris - with synths, guitars, tape loops, and some other materials.

A quote heard during the French revolt against pension reform:
"There are three kinds of violence. The first, mother of all the others, is institutional violence. It legalizes and perpetuates domination, oppression, and exploitation. It crushes and eliminates millions of people in its silent and well-oiled cogs.

The second is revolutionary violence, which is born of the will to abolish the first.

The third is repressive violence, which stifles the second by making itself the helper and accomplice of the first violence - the one that causes all the others.

There is no worse hypocrisy than only calling the second 'violence' while pretending to forget the first one that gives it life and the third that kills it."
(Helder Camara, Spiral of Violence)

Taken from the album "Retrograde Amnesia" by Xu & Oberlin, released on Slow Tone Collages:


The record delves into the haunting history of the former psychiatric hospital in Colorno (Parma – Italy, in use from 1873 to 1978). Titled "Retrograde Amnesia”, it explores the lives of patients who were once confined to the institution, many of whom were forgotten by society. 
The hospital, which is now abandoned, was once home to over a thousand patients, including those who were deemed "dangerous" or "marginalized" by society. Among them were prostitutes, alcoholics, vagabonds, and even small children. The psychiatrists who worked at the institution were free to experiment with new treatments, including practices such as electroshock and frontal lobotomy. While these doctors saw themselves as innovators and experimenters, many of the patients were no longer considered people. One of the devastating consequences of the treatments administered at the hospital was retrograde amnesia, which is the loss of memories of past events. Many patients who underwent these treatments were left with gaps in their memory, unable to recall important moments of their lives, as their identities were fragmented and their shared human experiences obliterated. Forgotten by society and stripped of their own sense of self, they were consigned to the shadows of history. 
"Retrograde Amnesia" is a haunting and emotional record that aims to shed light on the lives of these forgotten patients. Through the use of ambient soundscapes and atmospheric textures, the music captures the sense of isolation and despair that many of the patients must have felt. Enveloped in the echoes of empty corridors and abandoned rooms, one easily feels consumed by the weight of the lives that once occupied these desolate spaces.

Long, few, and unanimated sounds intertwine with others that are more shrill to create a cold effect that brings to mind an icy landscape. The lack of color variations and attenuated noises metaphorically represent a period in which sensations and feelings are muted, without sadness.

The album captures the listener's attention thanks to its enveloping and engaging atmosphere. The sound textures evolve fluidly, taking the listener through a wide range of emotions, from sadness to hope, from emotion to reflection.
