Vanidades

Concrete Fence 'New Release (1)' (PAN 39)
12"/DL - Release Date: 30 August 2013

The pedigree of this collaboration should need little explanation.  Luminaries of British electronic music spanning over two decades, Russell Haswell (Gescom, Haswell & Hecker) and Downwards label founder Karl O'Connor (Regis, Sandwell District, British Murder Boys) have come together to produce three tracks of inimitable experimental techno in their debut collaborative release.  

With each track built upon a permutating sonic foundation, these are muscular and expertly paced compositions that effortlessly transition between hypnotic rhythms and textural and timbral experimentation.

Concrete Fence (Regis & Russell Haswell) 'Industrial Disease' (PAN 39)

Cholita - the Female Menudo performs Size (Has Nothing to Do).
Words and music by Bag, Davis, Hernandez. Performed by Cholita, led by Vaginal Davis, Alice Bag, Fertile Latoya Jackson, Gaby Godhead, Melanie Sparks, Machaca Khan, Jailbait.

Lyrics:
Ah, no, no, no, no
Size has nothing to do with performance
5 or 6 inches are average, but you see
A woman's vagina can accommodate 
Anything but stupidity
(Chorus)
Because size has nothing to do with performance,
No it don't, no baby
Size has nothing to do with performance

You can augment your head
But you should augment your mind
When David slew Goliath
He proved that wit means more
Wit means so much more than size

Chorus

Bridge
Que lastima
Que al hacer el amor
no usas tu cabeza
solo tu pinga

Chorus

El tamano no dicta lo bueno de la obra
I don't care what size you are -
It's your mind that stimulates me

Size (Has Nothing To Do)

These were the things which kept her joyous, the things which made her feel alive and consider a change of perspective. For life did not have to be so rushed, she was free to do and to think and to feel as she pleased - for that is what the flowers and the animals did. She watched them in the wild fields all through the day as they came and went minding their own business on the great plains. This was peaceful, tranquil escapism. The perfect form of bliss. 

Tryphème features on a new compilation from Lyon based record label AR/FM. Titled "Selected Ambient, Synth & Pop Works" the release showcases up and coming talent from friends.

DJ TARBA DUB SELECTA VIZIR

We’ve reached book IV in Rupert Clervaux’s series of “Zibaldone” audio diaries, at which point we find him telling a different kind of story. 

“The first three all had very specific themes, while this one feels a little bit looser and doesn’t have just one thematic thrust,” he tells me, which maybe explains why listening feels a bit like annotating. I’m underlining, emphasizing, drawing arrows from here to there, highlighting symbols and noting motifs, realising, questioning, eureka-ing. An impressionistic meaning’s been encoded in and we’re lucky to be given the space to play that most poetic and boundless of all mental games: narrativization. 

There are no wrong answers, but Rupert offers some clues either way. If there’s any cipher here it’s “something like a meditation on the concept of ‘depth’––in all its connotative forms.” Think below the surface, (the) underground, yawning oceans, being ‘down in the dirt’, soil, roots, rootlessness, pulling at the dregs, collapse, profundity, stable and unstable horizons, distance, perspective, intuition, not to mention relative opposites: to be shallow, to be above, to be beyond. 

It’s got me thinking of Bresson’s “Bring things together that have as yet never been brought together and did not seem predisposed to be so.” His: “Dig deep where you are. Don't slip off elsewhere.” Rupert has realized these—two favourite goals of mine!—here. 

This is music that catches you at your own periphery, gives pause, has you offering a little “huh” to, asking “I wonder why” to. Again, it’s got me musing on another mindworm, this time from New York publisher and multi-sensory reading room Dispersed Holdings: “Feeling-making-knowing feedback loop; cartography of feeling; water as text, read to know the land beneath and around it, and body as reader.” 

Is it ok to offer up these other contexts out of context? I think so, because Zibaldone IV articulates a similarly swirly tone. Like, we’ve got Rebecca Solnit talking through Kropotkin’s “Mutual Aid” and later calling out to Michael Ruppert a ways away, and “Easy Rider” is playing in the wings. We’ve got Susan Sontag magically contextualizing Mariah Carey with poet Thylias Moss triangulating in order to sketch out (Rupert again) “something a little more interesting than wilful eclecticism or that laboured and patronising kind of pop-savvy.” 

Are we following? Whether yes or no Vanessa Bedoret follows on with a performance of a performance of Moss’s 'Water Road’: to be once or twice removed, via strange transitions, purposeful confusions, and, suddenly, seagulls. We’re on a boat with Ingeborg Bachmann—and how I wish I could actually be! But maybe thanks to this music I can as literature, films, friends, lethargy, coincidences, little mental links, eternal wormholes, lingering notions come together to imagine something better.
