Zaliva-D - Flutter

Aseptic Stir (@as_care) is a new project of the Berlin-based artist Alexandra Zakharenko, whose debut on Klammklang is an examination of sound by means of bodily practices. In ‘Year of Detachment’ she presents the intimate diary of self-study that transcends boundaries and exposes vulnerability through music, voice and movement, creating a subtle medium for desires to emerge.

Woven from drones, hisses and noise, her album seemingly mimics heartbeats, echoes pulsing blood and rustlings of skin. It’s a continuous journey through the body to the transmutation of the libidinal into the liminal. Reflections on corporeal processes and movements, that express the inner self, appear to be so close to flesh and blood, you could hear emotions and desires boiling.

Deeply immersed in overcoming the rift between mind and body, Aseptic Stir shows the ability of the latter to speak so clearly and unequivocally as no one verbally could. A thought always precedes a phrase, but it’s unable to predict actions of the Other. That’s exactly what ‘Year of Detachment’ does by establishing communication between sense and eroticism, revealing what is hidden to the consciousness.

A2 // Hymns 'Out Of The Head Into The Body'

Form is vision is a collection of music unified by the same vision but not by the same form. It’s the vision making the form, without being influenced by the form itself.  Here, electronic visionary artists as Afrikan Sciences and Juju & Jordash meet cross over jazz bands like Hobby Horse and Where is Mr. R?!. The music is compiled by Autre & Two Thou, bringing their own productions to bridge different moods. The result is a synergistic leap away from music of genre

Love's A Bitch

Taiwanese-born audio technologist Mei-Fang Liau moonlights as Floating Spectrum, a moniker that encompasses the immersive, cinematic soundscapes she conjures up. 

Her debut album, A Point Between, arrived last autumn on Temporary Residence, an exploration of organic and synthetic textures created through using everyday household objects, synthesizers and software synthesizers built by Liau herself. Built on the foundations of two compositions she wrote for a dance performance, she examined themes around life: how it emerges, flourishes and eventually decays and the emotions associated with these different phases. 

Her work is meditative, thought provoking and intricate, something that is stimulated by her technological ambition and her ability to create depth and texture in simplicity. 

Here she eases us into the new decade with a mix of beautiful, ambient soundscapes. Just what the doctor ordered...

Beatrice Dillon - Workaround
Format: LP / DL
Cat.No: PAN 106
Release Date: 07 February 2020
Purchase: bit.ly/33ISoYr

‘Workaround’ is the lucidly playful and ambitious solo debut album by rhythmobsessive musician and DJ, Beatrice Dillon for PAN. It combines her love of UK club music’s syncopated suss and Afro- Caribbean influences with a gamely experimental approach to modern composition and stylistic fusion, using inventive sampling and luminous mixing techniques adapted from modern pop to express fresh ideas about groove-driven music and perpetuate its form with timeless, future-proofed clarity.

Recorded over 2017-2019 between studios in London, Berlin and New York, ‘Workaround’ renders a hypnotic series of polymetric permutations at a fixed 150bpm tempo. Mixing meticulous FM synthesis and harmonics with crisply edited acoustic samples from a wide range of guests including UK Bhangra pioneer Kuljit Bhamra (tabla); Pharoah Sanders Band’s Jonny Lam (pedal steel guitar); techno innovators Laurel Halo (synth/vocal) and Batu (samples); Senegalese Griot Kadialy Kouyaté (Kora), Hemlock’s Untold and new music specialist Lucy Railton (cello); amongst others, Dillon deftly absorbs their distinct instrumental colours and melody into 14 bright and spacious computerised frameworks that suggest immersive, nuanced options for dancers, DJs and domestic play.

‘Workaround’ evolves Dillon’s notions in a coolly unfolding manner that speaks directly to the album’s literary and visual inspirations, ranging from James P. Carse’s book ‘Finite And Infinite Games’ to the abstract drawings of Tomma Abts or Jorinde Voigt as well as painter Bridget Riley’s essays on grids and colour. Operating inside this rooted but mutable theoretical wireframe, Dillon’s ideas come to life as interrelated, efficient patterns in a self-sufficient system.

With a naturally fractal-not-fractional logic, Dillon’s rhythms unfold between unresolved 5/4 tresillo patterns, complex tabla strokes and spark-jumping tics in a fluid, tactile dance of dynamic contrasts between strong/light, sudden/restrained, and bound/free made in reference to the notational instructions of choreographer Rudolf Laban. Working in and around the beat and philosophy, the album’s freehand physics contract and expand between the lissom rolls of Bhamra’s tabla in the first, to a harmonious balance of hard drum angles and swooping FM synth cadence featuring additional synth and vocal from Laurel Halo in ‘Workaround Two’, while the extruded strings of Lucy Railton create a sublime tension at the album’s palatecleansing denouement, triggering a scintillating run of technoid pieces that riff on the kind of swung physics found in Artwork’s seminal ‘Basic G’, or Rian Treanor’s disruptive flux with a singularly tight yet loose motion and infectious joy.

Crucially, the album sees Dillon focus on dub music’s pliable emptiness, rather than the moody dematerialisation of reverb and echo. The substance of her music is rematerialised in supple, concise emotional curves and soberly freed to enact its ideas in balletic plies, rugged parries and sweeping, capoeira-like floor action. Applying deeply canny insight drawn from her years of practice as sound designer, musician and hugely knowledgable/intuitive DJ, ‘Workaround’ can be heard as Dillon’s ingenious solution or key to unlocking to perceptions of stiffness, darkness or grid-locked rigidity in electronic music. And as such it speaks to an ideal of rhythm-based and experimental music ranging from the hypnotic senegalese mbalax of Mark Ernestus’ Ndagga Rhythm Force, through SND and, more currently, the hard drum torque of DJ Plead; to adroitly exert the sensation of weightlessness and freedom in the dance and personal headspace.

The album is mixed by James Rand and mastered by Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering. Artwork by Thomas Ruff, layout by Johannes Schnatmann & Bill Kouligas.

"Ghetto Blasphemy" is the name of demoscene piece i saw about 16 years ago. This name fits well to dark underground music, because the heavily broken beats always live in the basement venues with its eternal carma to stay against the mainstream popular styles in the sake of rare rave connoisseurs. With a great help of our artists & contributors we've prepared the last statement for drum & bass culture we're quitting this year. This LP will be published in "pay if you want" mode.
