Issue x Perera Elsewhere - Power Is Mine (Prod. by Hanz)

"I just started pretty randomly by recording my two-year-old old son on the nice condenser microphone I have in my living room. There was no clear tonality to what he was singing/saying and it wasn’t on a click so it was generally just tempoless blah blah. The kicks and pitched bongo-esque percussion come from the Polyplex library. I then recorded reverb and EQ effects with automation on the drum parts that I had edited.

I chopped the recording up to work with the beat, then pitched them to fit the tonality of the drums and harmonised everything. I then used an organ from the Vintage Organs library and used the pitch modulation strip on a long note and filtering to start introducing a kinda trippy drone pad. I programmed tighter bass notes from a Monark bass and played with the overdrive parameters. I also played and recorded an additional detuned synth bassline using Monark. It’s all unquantized and wobbly and arabesque sounding – I like it!

I think the whole sketch transports you somewhere in a very short time. That’s what I like about it. I’m very situational in terms of making tunes: I like sound leakage and using things/objects/people that I find around me as well as using plug-ins and technology. I’m into those kind of hybrids, paradoxes and elements of chance or error." - Perera Elsewhere

Moon in the Sky - Perera Elsewhere Remix

Multi-award winning experimental pop auteur, Sasha Perera aka Perera Elsewhere is a producer, musician, songwriter and DJ who has garnered critical acclaim from Pitchfork, NPR, BBC, FADER, Vogue, KCRW and many more. Her use of technology to create and to experiment with her voice, lyrics, trumpet, percussive beats, bass frequencies, sound design and existential ideas all led to what fans and press initially coined the ‘Doom-Folk’ sound of the Perera Elsewhere project. She found a home on Los Angeles based label Friends of Friends where she has released 3 albums that have seen her sonic imprint graciously evolve. Her music evokes a hybrid of comparisons such as Mica Levi, Dean Blunt, Jon Hassell and Massive Attack.
Journeys have punctuated Perera Elsewhere’s life perspective and career, taking her from London’s vibrant club scene to Berlin’s bass experimentalist underground. All of which developed her shapeshifting approach to music. Elsewhere, but always rooted. No matter where Perera has found herself musically–from live shows & DJ sets at institutions such as Berghain, the Guggenheim, the Hamburg Philharmonic, Sonar Festival and Boiler Room.
Her music has been licensed for Ava Du Vernay’s ‘Queen Sugar’ series, by Oscar winning director Paolo Sorrentino for his ‘Loro’ film and recently by Apple for the promotional launch of their faster than ever M2 chip.
A true multi-hyphenate, Perera’s open and autodidact technique is also highlighted by a long list of side releases, collaborations as well as bespoke compositions for moving image, theatre and audio-visual installations for leading global institutions such as Bass Museum Miami (2022 and ZKM in Karlsruhe (2024). She produced 4 songs for German icon Nina Hagen’s recent album (2023).
Perera Elsewhere won ‘Best Act ’at the VIA awards 2022, the only independent award for musical innovation in Germany. She also won Sony Music Germany’s ‘Female Producer Award’ in 2024.
Perera’s published works have led to invitations by renowned institutions such as Ableton, Native Instruments, Yale or Berlin’s University of Arts and the award- winning Errrormusic programme to share her creative knowledge via studio sessions, workshops, teaching, and mentoring.   Sasha has also worked with the British Council and Goethe Institute as an artist and co-curator or mentor on music projects and music-tech education initiatives across Asia and Africa .  She recently composed the sound for a Kampnagel dance/ theatre production titled' Reparation Nation.'  Perera Elsewhere is clearly at home in many places.
