Phortah feat. Lila Swain - Til Morning (Part II)

Being on the Heimlich radar for some time, never losing track of Australia’s Phortah has resulted in the very first long play release by Heimlich Musik. Phortah’s debut album “Olua” drifts between the vibrant waves of ten tracks founded on a uniquely emotive sound and compositional style. The album courses a transformative evening, punctuated by a myriad of broken beats and straight four to the floor grooves. Organic performances of strings, vocals, flutes and percussion are featured in combination with analogue and digital synthesis and beat design. Phortah’s sound is at once nostalgic and gritty; incorporating also field recordings and noise. Olua journeys between flowing passages contrasted with abrupt and surprising moments. 

The album was recorded and produced on Gumbaynggirr country in Bellingen and on Newry Island, New South Wales, Australia. The power of the surrounding rivers, forests and ocean have greatly influenced the music. Phortah acknowledges the traditional custodians of this land, the Gumbaynggirr people. Lila Swain recorded her vocals in Berlin. Given the spectrum of sound aesthetics, the album format appeared to be the only logical way to release this unique piece of art.

 Nicholas Gilchrist aka Phortah - Instrumental performances (guitars, bass guitar, synths, vocals, percussion), composition and production

PREMIERE: Phortah - Ayoca [ Heimlich Musik ]

Channelling loving presence via impeccable sound design while tending to draw spirited and big hearted dancers to the floor.

Phortah's creative essence is somewhat free. He relates with the living tree, soil, sky, ocean and animal more so than with genre labels.

As an avid, exploratory, improvisational contemporary and contact dancer, his sound is informed by spontaneous rebellion against conditioned movement. Normality and convention are messed with.

"I listen to (feel) my animal body from within the living web which flows beyond intellectual capture.

With cues and guidance from nature, I cultivate visionary and feeling faculties as a part of the process. My music and dance practices are a part of this nourishing work. There has been a role for me to share from this place and I am grateful for all of the invitations and opportunities which have come from those who have recognised Phortah's offering. 

Sound wise, I work with various tools to create sensuous, enveloping auras which are often punctuated by saucy grooves. This aural recipe can be nourishing for humans and landscapes. I'm drawn to delving into deeper work with both.

My work with sound is supported first and foremost by a practice of listening." 

Relating with the gumbayngnirr and bundjalung nations on the east coast of Australia.

Phortah has released music with Dirtwire's Swamptronic Records (USA), Heimlich Musik (Vienna), leveldva (Moscow), Earthly Measures and Serafin Audio Imprint (Berlin).
