SWINE WORLD 003 - OUT RN!!!

∎ The selection of artists on SWINE WORLD 003 reflects the curatorial style of the Swine Daily web magazine. It is the encapsulation of the wide range of electronic and experimental music, of the songs we have premiered, the articles we have written, and the events we organized. This is the style of Swine Daily in the year 2024. A postcard from now to the future.

A peak into how music can look in the following years on the dancefloors of (where the producers are from) Curitiba, São Paulo, Helsinki, Santiago, Buenos Aires, Berlin, Leipzig, Tijuana, Taipei, Prague, Budapest, London, Nantes, Paris or Tokyo.

«Seht meine Wunden und an meinen Beinen, die Narben meiner Wunden» (denn wir sind lange gewandert) is a composition for large ensemble that deals with music as spatial art form within the concert format. This work deliberately does not go the way of an installation with a distribution of musicians in space. Instead, it examines the potential of a traditional concert setting to allow music to be experienced as spatial art, which is articulated as such through its formal musical language. It represents a concept of spatiality that is not primarily conceived in material terms: musical space is also and in particular a metaphor for, in the broadest sense, non-linear, de-dramatized gestures of musical gesturing - for a soundscape that does not want to tell us anything. It is simply there. As spectators and listeners we can only witness it.

The formal means by which a music-as-space is created stem from a way of thinking that is influenced by the techniques of digital composition and that seeks to transpose these structures to instrumental-acoustic composition and instrumentation. Specifically, this involves the technique of sampling, which is applied to score excerpts instead of audio files. Because of its harmonic simplicity, 4 measures from Ralph Vaughan Williams' 5th Symphony (3rd movement) were chosen as the ideal source material (see right). These 4 measures form the entire material for the 60 minutes of music.

By copying small "grains" of notes out of a small score sample window and assembling a new score in a long copy & paste process, a kind of musical still frame is created. Like an animated still life, we hear a very short score excerpt from a constantly, ever so slightly shifting perspective. The result is an oscillating sound image that corresponds to a phasing sampler in an instrumental-acoustic way.

The long title «Seht meine Wunden und an meinen Beinen, die Narben meiner Wunden» (denn wir sind lange gewandert) is a quote from Édouard Glissant's "Philosophy of World Relations" (Wunderhorn, 2021). His philosophy is above all also a philosophy of landscape, which recognizes its beauty in the differences and not in the unifying. This composition wants exactly that: through the repetition and the always again newly differentiated perspective it wants to produce a musical soundscape, which we traverse in a long, almost ritualistic procession.

Bios Contrast & Nilotpal Das - SSAC42
Label: Infinite Machine
CAT#: IM120
Format: Digital
Release Date: June 27th, 2025

Tracklist: 

1. everyth1ng 1n l1fe (feat. K_anti)

3. dysph0r1a (feat. K_anti)
4. XSCX
5. N0R

Listening to Bios Contrast–aka Nilotpal Das’--SSAC42 for the first time might be likened to the experience of watching sunlight shimmering on the surface of a body of water. There is an effortless spontaneity, a mesmerizing ebb and flow. There is a movement which continually reminds us of itself. We are drawn in without needing to understand why. Curiosity takes hold—not a ‘question-driven’ curiosity–but a quiet immersion in the unfolding moment. It feels familiar, but distant; intimate, yet undeniably alien–the more we surrender to it, the more it transforms. We do not give our attention so much as we permit ourselves to drift along. With each passing moment, we are captivated anew, drawn into the throes of unexpected emotion.

The sonic world of SSAC42 seems to pull influence from various forms of electronic music on the fringes. We hear rapid, intricate drum patterns. We feel the warmth of synth textures, the soft glow of ambient pads collapsing gracefully into themselves. The airy vocals of K_anti play a significant role–gliding in over arrangements at unforeseen moments, bringing us closer to something vast and luminous. We never quite arrive, but feel as though we’re always approaching. The tracks are melodic without being grounded in melody. They coalesce, fracture, and reform. A pattern begins, and vanishes, swiftly replaced by something else entirely. Time loses shape; moments of breathtaking stillness recline over fierce drum sequences.

This warping of time is notable in the first track “everyth1ng 1n l1fe”, where soft atmospheric elements churn slowly above chaotic jittering drums. The juxtaposition stirs, generating an ongoing tension that is never resolved. Ethereal, washed out vocals pull us further into weightless expanse. Lush moments build up and transfigure, revealing new forms with each phrase. The second track “EXT10” takes us further into moments of unanticipated wonder. Through the turbulence, shifting elements are not mourned as they pass, but welcomed; we do not question their departure—we move forward with them.

The third composition, “dysph0r1a” opens with a clear vocal presence.  K_anti’s tender delivery occasionally rises above the evolving terrain of synths—fleeting, decipherable, then submerged once again. Later on, the sixth track “ap0calypse 42” carries us through a striking arc: from softness to percussive fury, and back into calm. The transformation is tumultuous, but also cyclical—destructive and restorative in turn.

The shapeshifting quality of the album can feel disorienting. Just as we find comfort and predictability, it dissolves. Familiarity is teased, and withdrawn. Perhaps it is in this instability that the core of SSAC42’s potential lies. As the unending search for meaning in our human lives is consistently upended and reimagined, SSAC42 seems to quietly posit that moments of solace will reveal themselves amid the chaos; wonder and enchantment persist if we are willing to stay open.
