Plaster & Iron

Naked Flames - Pest Control

FE010

Hermetics meaning sealant, unchanging, solid, remembering and forgetting because nothing changes in airtight spaces. Gestates meaning a pregnant night, still and staring, focusing on breathing, in and out, as a new ideal emerges. Ester being the breaking down of substance to a new, potentially acidic and harmful form. Changes being life continuing in a new form, almost laissez-faire, as if this new form no longer recognizes what was before; a catharsis behind finding one's older self foreign and unreachable.

Life Hermetics

We stopped and listened when the feeling was right.

Our relentless endeavor to map the Crossroads between nature & industry led us on a tectonic pilgrimage. A traveling caravan of furled wings and poison rashes. We dragged our feet through brush and rusted rebar. Neon signs buzzed like apparitions, casting eerie glows on our faces as we worked, driven by a force that felt both otherworldly and disturbingly familiar. Passersby whispered of something in the soil, ancient spirits that snaked dry tendrils of ivy in thick knots around our ankles; even as our footsteps grew heavier with the rustle of wilting leaves, we noticed no such thing.

A two-year-long haunt that had disappeared from our memories surfaced once again. Here, we capture the afterglow.

The artists: two enraptured visionaries who revived the Crossroads from our fading memories. Locations reassembled from brittle shards of place, time, and fog-laden reminiscence, ashen terracotta that littered the craters of unmade visions in the earth. Blown out, with the shiver of rigor in their spines, into stationary images.

The performers: six blessed, loam-touched, ephemerally calcified musicians. Their limbs seized by puppet strings, dark ley lines of the regolith: bodies and souls bent to perform in these six sacred Crossroads.

"disease of tin can: shimmer, shake, and rattle; exhibit of known and reflective memory: pluperfect soundplay, lossy machina, stick-to-bone engineering; collision practice; a life between trench walls, dreaming of what cannot be achieved.

Most things will be silenced in time but this is not one of them. I love music like I love a lit match. Here are some favorites from my past three years."

an automated park sprinkler's motor, on a failure cycle, sings perfectly:  an unending rhythm until it sheds the dirt caked over and pours itself empty.

PFP03 - Another You

Plaster Fe Presents: Ezeki (@eze_ki)

A non-stop river rapid of melodic and textural bliss cascades in a single surge.  The riverbed is strewn with petrifacts, ores, shells, relics, all gleaming remnants in the current, while the water itself blushes as it runs.

FE013

Devoid of Reactions hums in its guttural, enduring beauty: a server resolving its own error state, infinitely in vacuous corridors, sprawling with endless instantiations of self. The air in it tastes of Tallinn in winter: iron, salt, damp stone. Hiss and mutter; bass pooling to the neck, thick and mineral, cooling and bubbling. Written in dust residue from seismic activity above, condensation rings on a steel table, fingerprints in the corner of a control panel, the slow ache of a signal that reaches further than comprehension. Echo Lucida keeps the map folded and trudges through.

FE012

You gently yawned and stacked clouds. You are the view beneath the clover, miniscule enough to see her veins in the summer sun. You are the end of a sigh, the basement of the lungs. You are the golden hour whom erst you knew. You, in all of your wicked and kind facets, are the red stroke across a blank canvas. You bragged about the tiny spine in your palm, and told stories about the shapes it used to take. You cracked open and told me your name.

orico is a sunset for 15 soundtracks, a diadem of human proclivities. Peach fuzz of harmony hums, the TV’s fur at your fingertips, the dog between your legs awaiting whistles, pacing around the room while the idea rubs against bedroom walls. A parochial friend once implied the sunset is the same every day. “I’ve never had someone make me question all the rules,” once said. It’s hard not to agree with something so foolish.

"I recorded this in the midst of hurricane season 2024. Helene hit us pretty hard and left me feeling even more isolated as a trans person in an area that is already pretty much detached from most everything (northwesternmost tip of south carolina). I found myself looking toward the coast, some 5 hours away, and toward soraweb's approach to "electronic bossa nova" alongside the works of Arto Lindsay and Masakatsu Takagi. Nearly every track here was improvised in single takes (no outstanding cuts or overdubs, if it could be helped) with a mixture of live instrumentation and electronics, including some sounds produced by an old homebrew sequencer for the Nintendo DSi, if you can believe that. the DSi usage is best heard in the electronic voices on "upsets" and "caowu". Various sounds were provided by trans and nonbinary friends who wish to remain anonymous, many of whom are in constant search of an aquatic vessel, one for us to ride into the sunset on, in hopes of escaping this horrible storm."
