Guitar Work (Post-Rock/Shoegaze...)

DESTITUTE label is back with our fourth release - the last one we have for you in 2021. This time we’re bringing you More Balance / خاڪو by ABADIR, a producer hailing from Cairo and currently stationed in Berlin, and 3HDSafxri, a producer that has been working within the Polish experimental scene for a long, long time. After the club constructions of our previous release this one plays with genres and breaks them down to create music that is as gentle and emotional as it is dramatic and hard hitting.

The entire proceeds from this release will be given to Chlebem i Solą - a Polish charity that is currently working way too hard to manage the migrant crisis on our border with Belarus.

01 ABADIR - More Balance

Track by : @rami-abadir
you think you know who you are?
you think you had it all worked out?
a sentient being once realized that it was spinning on a gigantic ball
across the galaxy at mind boggling speeds and it became sick to the stomach,
questioning it's own mortality and reality
as the walls closed in, it looked around and it saw a mirror
and inside you saw yourself
you saw
"I"

#62 Host Achieh // Pie Are Squared x Beat Craft

The second track off my "Farewell/Gratitude" featuring extra percussion & synth work by https://soundcloud.com/ali-soliman, available for download here: https://piearesquared.bandcamp.com/


Gratitude (feat. Ali Soliman)

This song generates a musical sequence using EEG brain wave data of an anonymous epilepsy patient. It examines the periods before, during, and after a seizure. The goal is to give the listener an empathetic and intuitive understanding of the brain’s neural activity during a seizure.

Please note: I have no formal education or training with diagnosing or interpreting a seizure using EEG brain scan data. I have done my own research to the best of my abilities, but all in all, this is a purely creative endeavor and should in no way be interpreted as scientific research or be used in any context other than in this creative one. For sake of transparency, I have detailed my process for creating this song in the link below and have made all relevant code publicly accessible. Feel free to reach out to me if you notice any glaring inaccuracies.

Rhapsody in Grey - Using Brain Wave Data to Convert a Seizure to Song

Here's the latest thing that I've been working on. It's a full on rock song, away from the more electronic/ambient stuff I've been making for the past couple of years. Still a work in progress though.

51°32'12 N 0°3'46 W (Work in Progress)

New album out: Lucciole, available here on a "pay what you want basis": piearesquared.bandcamp.com

My second full length, "Lucciole", is the outcome of my "74 in 74" project (the link is in the header), where I covered all 74 strategies in Dennis DeSantis' "Making Music". It is also the culmination of everything that makes Pie Are Squared what at is.

Elements of every single EP or LP that I've released thus far can be heard on this along with new facets of my music that hadn't been touched upon before. It's equal parts glitch, ambient, noise, drone and rock and yet is probably my most accessible album to date.

So I posted a video of me playing this song last Saturday and the response has been amazing, 12k views and counting, which is insane. Anyway, for the people who wanted to have it as an audio file (and people who didn't) here's a rough mix/master of the song and if you want to watch the video here are the links:
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/piearesquared/videos/10153786412597957/
YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KIE7CxFIqg
Here's the original video's description:
A reverb drenched, tipy-tapy, live-loopy song for summer, probably the most upbeat thing I've made in a very long time. Very much influenced by bands like And So I Watch You From Afar and From Monument To Masses 
Thanks

36 Degrees on a Saturday (Rough Mix)

Pie Are Squared...now with vocals! Well kinda, this is my first ever song with a discernable vocal melody, running it all through a couple of vocoders and Soundtoys' brilliant Little Alter Boy. It's shoegaze/dream pop/kinda nice I think and I am planning on doing more stuff in this vein to record properly (hopefully with live drums) & release them in 2017.
You can watch me play it live here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=846X-C59v-8

Stay Inside (Rough Mix)

10. Big Machete - Processun

Pie's most "Post-Rock" song to date. First part of a four part song cycle that I'm currently working on titled "J, Plain and Simple".

"You're a circling failure, in a rapidly decaying orbit.
That’s the reality as we talk now but you can change that.  
It’s in your power to change that.  
Yes you’ll have to work hard, and yes you’ll have to do things you haven’t done before and still your chances are very slim, 
but you could change it."

J [Edit]

ABADIR - Anti

Pie Are Squared is Italy-based Egyptian musician Mohammed Ashraf. 
One-half of Bennu.
One-half of Śruti.
One-half of Aken's Sleep.
One-sixth of Postvorta.
One-fifth of Void of Sleep.
