Introduce yourself? Preferred pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself?

My name’s Carly Barton > generally androgynous and fine with they or she > Portland, OR > I beat The Binding of Isaac (1000000%)—possibly my greatest achievement.

How is everything going with you right now?

I’d love to submit a research paper for this answer, but the succinct version is that I’ve been struggling to navigate through some rough circumstances health-wise. I’ve been disabled with very limited mobility + suffering from chronic pain for the last year and that’s pretty much been my day-to-day. I’m a notorious workaholic, so not being able to produce at my usual productivity level has been beyond frustrating to say the least. So…¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Other than that, I have the most wonderful partner in the world and some exciting opportunities that I’m dying to dive into if/when I get better.

Favorite musical memory in deep description?

Tough question. I had the extreme privilege of witnessing a solo multimedia performance by Takako Minekawa at Nationale—an art space in Portland, OR (courtesy of tone poem). Minekawa is an experienced composer, but I did not expect such an ethereal creature. It was so dialed, naked, honest, revealing, and expertly crafted. It’s like she was capturing magic out of thin air. It felt like everyone in attendance was sharing a buzzing electricity, hyper aware of how fragile the room was—like it was breathing. You could sense that everyone was having their own internal journey, as she demanded you to. Afterward, I went across the street with my friend and we probably talked about it for at least an hour; this was before lockdown, but honestly, I still feel like I’m processing it—very dreamy indeed.

Favorite thing to cook currently?

I made the most fucked up chicken pot pies over lockdown, but not really a summer dish. Lengthy recipe though—email me if you want it (carlyrayebarton@gmail.com)

Most underrated artist of 2020?

I barely listened to any music (especially new music) in 2020 so I feel like I can’t really answer this properly since I didn’t dig much.

Any advice to upcoming producers/djs?

Wooooof. Hmm. I really do have a lot of thoughts on this, maybe the biggest thing is these things take TIME and practice, you’re not gonna be good if you don’t do the work—there are no shortcuts to finding your own voice or becoming skilled. Don’t make excuses and don’t limit yourself to what other people are doing. It’s good if it’s honest. You’re also never done, you’ll always get better, so don’t be upset if you fuck up or don’t like it or it feels unfinished. ALSO, nice gear doesn’t mean shit; I always liken it to visual artists—yes, it’s very nice to have expensive oil paints to command as you wish, but you can still make something beautiful with a pencil on printer paper.

And most importantly, do it because you love it.

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

I've obviously been thinking a lot about disability, and I hope to see that become more normal in venues. You always see people with canes/in wheelchairs your whole life and empathize, but it becomes so noticeable/in your face once that becomes your everyday. And besides what I’ve seen most people discuss about dancefloor politics, I’d like to see sincere/open conversations about expectations and intentions become the standard. It is 1000% not okay to demonize people, specifically POC + women, for expecting certain needs to be met regarding inclusion, accessibility, payment, harassment, etc. It’s very hard for “SEE something SAY something” to work if nobody believes you or does anything about it…like, obviously no one’s gonna feel seen or protected when they put themselves in a vulnerable position only to be completely ignored or shit on. P.L.U.R.?!!? It’s a pretty simple concept.

Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Ello, I’m Jackson. Pronouns are He/Him. Residing in Eora/Sydney

Who/what currently inspires you music-wise that has nothing to do with music?

Water and light mostly 

What is your favorite party/collective where you reside and why?

Too many faves. Some heavy hitters off the top are Umami/Echo Flats/Heavenly/Community Chest. They are %100 in it for the experience. Community Chest is a joint force crew of about 7 great crews from Sydney – It’s kinda like when the power rangers come together to make that big robot fighter guy

What was your best moment at the supermarket?

They were playing Bill Withers in a Woollies once and it got me

What is your most recent favorite DJ mix and why?

Max D – Indie Rock on C- was maybe the last one that got me good. Max D only plays by Max D’s rules

Any advice to upcoming DJs/producers? 

Enjoy your life & be kind to others

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

The ICE LP was created by Maxim Wolzyn over a period of three years, mostly whilst touring throughout Germany by train as part of the Günther Lause duo. Spread over eight tracks, the LP poetically captures the complex networks of railways and tunnel systems that carry with them the thoughts and feelings of millions of people, aspiring to attain an overall impression of the collective consciousness of a society on the move. 

Inspired sonically by the soundscapes of urban spaces, rail stations and the pulsing motions of modern mass transportation, various field recordings are mixed with reverberating synthesizer patterns and percussive composition, creating a mixture of straight forward techno and dystopian ambiences. 

While being reminiscent of Berlin's dub techno tradition it also transcends the typical club context, moving into the realm of the intimate and personal.

Bio:
Mas is an audiovisual project recently formed by two members of the lpc collective label. They like to develop through their music and photographies a cold, minimalist and dark landscape.
Their work is inspired by artists from different horizons, such as : Delia Derbyshire for her contribution to concrete and electronic music during the 60’s, Le Corbusier for his minimalist vision of things and David Lynch for his particular and immersive aesthetic. The two parisian producers also give interest to the industrial music of Samuel Kerridge, for exemple. For this podcast, the duo tried to put all these influences together, for a slow travel to cold Autumn.

MondayOff Podcast Series 018 | Soramimi

When the world slipped into madness last month, the ESP Institute put most releases on the back-burner to await brighter days, but then we thought again; why not approach these odd circumstances the way we do most realities, positively and head-on? We’re committed to a community that builds new worlds — this is fundamental to our creative and spiritual relationship with Osaka-born, cosmos-straggling artist, Ground — and while temporarily we can’t physically congregate to uplift each other, its our responsibility as an institution to maintain a platform for prolific creative pioneers, our cherished cartographers of cognitive escape. 'Wakusei' is wonderfully confusing and disorienting music, a follow-up EP to 2018’s critically acclaimed album 'Sunizm', not created specifically for life under lockdown, but nonetheless aptly suited to help release angst, guide meditation, and assist in making this moment in history more interesting if not transcendental. Whereas 'Sunizm' relied on field recordings gathered from rainforests, percussions learned from imaginary ancient civilizations, and the somehow organic freneticism of a mission control meltdown, the aesthetic of 'Wakusei' reduces this abstract instrumentation one step further to a more base-level array of gurgling synth scraps, accelerating engine friction and static-bound phonetic mistakes, all scrubbed into dust by a Brillo pad of white noise. The cliché of “great art is born out of hard times” is not lost upon us — of course the world will look back to this turmoil and its residual contributions to culture — but we see today's art as an immediate coping mechanism, and artists like Ground helping to unlock and navigate internal utopias. We’re already indoors, let’s delve inside.

The glitch is a modern phenomenon. First officially printed in 1962, it can be defined as a break in the algorithms that increasingly dictate our lives. Our next guest, Kamikaze Space Programme, explores these so-called "errors" with an elegant diligence. His singular sound has offered him the opportunity to release on renowned platforms such as Luke Slater's Mote Evolver imprint and West Norwood Cassette Library. With a new LP slated for Osiris Music, he takes a welcome turn into more impalpable realms, focusing his sound increasingly on dubbed-out atmospheres. In anticipation of these new directions, we decided to catch up with this one of a kind producer for a preview of what is to come. Enjoy!
