dancinha hop 01

Eine letzte warme Brise. Der Tag schwindet. Immer mehr Blätter liegen stumm am Boden und warten auf den starken Windstoß, der sie in die weite Welt davontragen wird, bis sie langsam zu Staub zerfallen, wieder eins werden mit der Erde, aus der sie einst geschaffen wurden.
-
Ein Vogel zwitschert leise auf einem Ast. Er singt eine Melodie vom allein sein. Davon, wie schön es sein kann, allein durch die Welt zu schweben, sich an im Morgenlicht glitzernden Tautropfen und den ersten Sonnenstrahlen des Tages zu laben. Bisweilen wird er einen anderen Vogel treffen, den dieselben Dinge entzücken, und sie werden eine Weile zusammen singen. Bis sie sich gemeinsam entscheiden, jeder wieder für sich, allein, zu sein. 
-
Das Feuer brennt schon eine Zeitlang nicht mehr. Die Glut hat die Flammen abgelöst und taucht alles in dunkelwarmes Licht. Die Wärme, die uns das Feuer gab, haben wir in uns gespeichert. Auch die Trommel ist verstummt. Leise knistern kaum vernehmbare Stimmen und Glut um die Wette. Gemeinsam ergeben sie ein Orchester fast taktlosen Wohlklanges. Schwer zu sagen, ob der Abend nun vorbei ist, oder gerade begonnen hat. Der Mond erscheint hinter'm Berg.
-
Der Geruch von Stress, Staub und Maschinenöl erfüllt die starre Luft. Die große goldene Uhr blickt teilnahmslos auf die Gleise hinab. Dampf und Rauch streiten sich um ihre Daseinsberechtigung. Laut. Viel zu laut. Noch eine letzte gehetzte Ansage, ein lautes Rumpeln, dann schließen sich die Türen und sperren den Gestank und das sinnlose Umhergerenne endgültig aus. Drinnen ist es angenehm lau und die Duftnoten fühlen sich wundersam bekannt an. Nicht unbedingt schön, doch warm und vertraut. Baum um Baum um Baum zieht vorbei. Das Ziel ist irrelevant geworden. Der Sitz ist weich, die Atemluft rein.
-
/We are on the way to find you, so please forget who you are.

KUSHT – Radio Buena Vida 06.04.22

The newest contribution in our mix series comes from the talented multi disciplinair artist Vica Pacheco (@lilvica), who created the beautiful art for the covers of both the Virtual Dreams and the MLO compilation. Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Hola Vica, bienvenidos to the series. Your from Belgium, via Mexico and France. Can you tell a bit about your journey?

VP: I moved to France in an exchange program as a young art student, curious to discover what was going on in the other site of the world, I followed my heart in a naive way to be sincere. Then I built a new French family in this school, they welcomed me so well and made me feel at home, which helped me to take the decision to finish my art studies there… Then, things just came naturally, I joined my partner and few friends in Brussels, they were all like  “Brussels is so nice, there are lots of concerts happening all time, people is warm and motivated, great places, great parks and great beer”  

MFM: What are some of the main differences you've experienced so far when comparing Brussels to Oaxaca? Are there similarities as well? 

VP: Life in Oaxaca is warm, your senses are distracted all the time by the environment, there are always haunting melodies in the ambience, something delicious to eat or drink in the street, is colorful and joyful. My people is really proud about our culture which manifests itself in infinite ways. But, there are many negative facts that makes a harder contrast with the European lifestyle, as social inequality, extreme poverty, machismo, different ways of negligences by government and post colonial social consequences. On the other hand, Brussels is grey, the rhythm of life and culture is just so different, things happens under different rules. People is super motivated, independent music scene is super present in the city, there are friendly institutions supporting art. Anyway, both places are a human size cities and are full of interesting things to discover.

MFM: Your visual art, as used in the Virtual Dreams series, appears as very liquid and organic yet synthetic and digital at the same time. Somewhat like a fine line between the past and future. A future relic if you will. How did you find this signature style? 

VP: I pass long time working with different programs and machines which have become an extension of my creative language, visual or sonic. This alliance between "organic" and "digital"  or "technologic" and "arcaic" is something that came naturally on my fabulating process, while getting interested on topics such as nature-culture, mythologie, anthropologie, scientific imagery and science fiction, I just let myself to do a synthesis of those interests while creating my art.

MFM: Same goes for your music, it's like you've scored your own film perfectly... 

VP: I grew up listening to Mexican popular music, playing it and singing it when younger, same as painting, drawing or ceramics, I never saw visual art and music as separate fields. But  I can say I started working  with sound when I was 18, living in Mexico City, then when I arrived to Villa arson, the sound studio was open to any kind of experimentation, the approach of this studio was wide open, no limits between plastic art and sound art, everything was possible, so I developed my own language mixing medias.

MFM: What's next, do you have any nearby goals that you're working on achieving? Are you an artist who works from one project to another? What are you currently working on?

VP: I’m involved in several projects all time, I’m a little bit hyperactive and I like to keep my creativity going on. I’m currently working making the music for a theater piece, which will take place next week in Geneva, im really excited about it, but in parallel I continue doing performances and few concerts and making some 3d artworks. Im coming back in July to Mexico for few months for other projects too so yeah, things are moving.

Episode 4 of 4 is a recording from Picnic NYE 2021, B2B with my main homie, @mike-who (@planettrip). Recorded live from The Factory Theatre in Marrickville, Sydney. Afternoon vibes in the outdoor courtyard!

Skylab Radio - Episode 4 of 4 - March 2022 (B2B with Mike Who)

This mix is an invitation to dance,
To take off your shoes,
Find an open space,
Find a nice little sound system, 
Find a friend, a family member, or maybe alone,
And dedicate 2 hours of life to the joys of dancing...

To come home to ones body, 
To stretch, massage and unfurl those parts
that may have not been moved for quite some time.

To playfully incorporate the elements. 
Wild, agile and without judgement.
To explore the space within and without.

To dance,
To celebrate,
To enjoy...

Life is beautiful after all!

Music To Fall In Love With Humanity Again (Mix)

To all those braving the storm, may you take solace in these ancient echoes as you make your way home.

It’s somehow always around this time of year, In the beginning of Samhain (November) that I start to tune back into Irish traditional and contemporary folk music. Accompanying me through many a slow morning breakfast. Usually staring out of the window at the forest, with a nostalgic gaze. Something about the crisp air, darker nights and falling leaves that take me back to my roots.

Following up on the ‘Home is in the Mountains’ Mix 2 years ago.
This is the second mix where I deepen the connection with my Irish heritage. Unearthing the wealth that lies within the treasured and weathered isle I love so well. With a touch of traditional and Celtic influences from the surrounds of Ireland as well.

Slán Abhaile (pronounced: Slawn Ah-wol-ya )in Gaelic Irish literally meaning - Safe Home. To bid farewell to any traveller braving the weather and making their way home.

Peter Power - The Long Farewell

Kelan Phil Cohran and Legacy - White Nile

Sie laufen an dicken Seilen den See hinauf um dahinter ein warmes Brot zu baden. Vielleicht haben sie es schon vergessen aber eben gerade war da noch dieses Tal ohne Hintergrund auf dem ein Bein versucht auf das andere. Aber das ist nun gestern. Ohne Widerworte stelle ich den Nachtisch auf grün und Klopfe gegen das Kopfkissen. Der Ton hallt blechern unter dem Boden hervor und bildet einen süssen Tropfen aus feinster Schokolade. Warum hat mir das keiner gesagt? Hier gehen immer alle zur selben Zeit die Uhr putzen um sie dann wieder auf die andere Seite zu bringen. Wann bekomme ich eigentlich mein Geld zurück? Ich muss mich wohl bei dem Stuhlbein entschuldigen. Es ist schon ganz unglücklich über den Samtbezug. Etwas mehr Gras muss wachsen damit man wieder richtig durchschauen kann, sonst klickt es immer aus dem Takt.

Pingipung Podcast 82: Paul Heimweh - Homelevel Part II

Born on the island of Ireland, finding a home in the Pyrenees via Berlin and Bahia. Over the years, however diverse, peter's sound is immersed in a growing sensitivity of atmosphere. Finding perpetual inspiration in the massaging forces of nature. 

Cultivating sheer presence is at the heart of the process,

 Between ancestral echoes and contemporary waves. Shimmering ripples shake into life. A playful dance of atmospherical alchemy. 

 Between the silence, a careful kindness.

Ever glowing...
The warm hum of
home.
