Current Bias - Apropos In Accelerating Pt. 1

Cassette/digital release available from https://soundcloud.com/mappaeditions
https://mappa.bandcamp.com/album/chim-ras

Named after the mythological hybrid of the chimaera, Forces’ first collection for mappa was put together in a similar fashion. The sounds all stem from a fruitful residency at Stockholm’s EMS Elektronmusikstudion in May & June 2022, leading to a bounty of source material with which to build. The sounds and concept are equally chimeric, stringing together disparate and unintuitive jams, the music mimicking the multi-limbed, sewn together beasts of both creative open source coding and destructive multinational concerns who hide their cores amid endless appendages. Like Doctor Moreau, Forces - aka Finnish artist Joonas Siren - weaves wildly varying attributes into something new, from short-circuiting 8-bit dream ambience to fractured digital groans, drones, and noisy freakouts.

Though EMS is best known for its Buchla and Serge modular systems, Forces went ‘digital’ and largely navigated a lesser-known synth rack one can wheel between studios, affectionately known as the ‘90s Wagon’. “It housed different digital rack synth modules,” explains Siren, “ like the super unknown EVS-1 by Evolution Synthesis, a UK company who only produced this one rack synth only and then vanished.” Some truly alien sounds emerge from Forces’ creative misuse of forgotten 90s boxes and sampled modular jams. The result is an erratic trip through mismatched circuitry and digital codes, slipping between emotional artifice and harshly logical music.

The track titles stem from both famous mythological chimaeras and multinational arms dealing conglomerates. “Different quite sinister firms can operate in broad daylight, easily hiding their true nature. Many of these mega-corporations have different branches (like chimeric limbs) that are producing quite normal mundane every-day items, as well as mass-producing weapons.” A dedicated SuperCollider user too however, Siren states how open source coding snippets are also ‘chimeric beings’. “You end up always using some part of some old code and then building completely new work on some old idea,” Siren explains. Despite its misuses, there’s also something hopeful in the malleability of ideas, and the ability to creatively collage the world as it is into something wholly new, even better.

Spinal Spiral - Indigoblue invite Aliénor Golvet (Novembre 2023)

Ervin Omsk is a pseudonym of Germany-based musician and visual artist Sven Fritz.
His music is based on a spatial approach, using oscillators, percussion, speech, fragments, noise, and many other sources to approximate a sense of texture and terrain through sound.
Ervin Omsk has released on International Winners and Orange Milk Records. The last album Schmalster Point was released in 2023 by Orange Milk.
About the mix:
A compilation of music, most of which I have listened to recently when walking or taking the train. The mix has become quite heterogeneous, so for me, it’s constantly oscillating between the music's own spaces and the associative environments a lot of
the tracks are unfolding again and again (surprisingly often using artificial forms of human voices or gestures).

Lunar Prism — DIGITONICA invites Ervin Omsk

When countries literally vote against the ending of a genocide that is documented live in unprecedented dimensions, it feels like it puts our reality on halt while it just continues at the same time. 

Reliable sources of information and conversations on eye-level are profoundly important in order to sanely navigate through this mess. In our first Interview here on Wave Channel, we had just this with none other than Stas Shärifulla from Siberia, known under his moniker HMOT. 

Stas’ vast knowledge and his way to communicate complex content in a inviting and accessible way is giving ground for endless exchange.  

His ongoing research examines the potential of sonic agency, e.g. how sound and music operate in contexts of political activism and resistance practices, addressing the variation in inequality across authoritarian regimes and unbalanced power dynamics under late capitalism. 

He visited Dream Channel for a deep talk and blessed us with an electrifying live Performance.
