Simas Okas, hidden away in the depths of a murky swamp, is trying to create a new species - a combination of natural and synthetic, capable of adapting and thriving in the harshest conditions. He becomes subject of his own creation and is transformed . . . Chasing down a magical, mystical, non-defined apparition, like a ghost or a shadow, not necessarily evil, but certainly other-worldly. From reeds to smudge, everything's a dream. Much beauty in the swamp, if only you look...

B3 Simas Okas - Gris-Gris

y yo escucho solo la lluvia 
y solo la lluvia que me entienda 
y tu flor siempre calla en la noche 
y tu flor siempre se cierra en el dìa 
y el aqua me esta mirando 
y el aqua me esta arrastrando 
y tu alma se vuelve en esfera 
y tu mente crece en un circulo 
y al alba yo me convierto en mujer 
y al ocaso me convierto en hombre 
y tu y yo con las manos atadas 
y tu y yo con los ojos perforados 
y la lluvia cae en mi cabeza 
y la lluvia cae en mi cama 
y tus palabras son un cubo 
y tus ideas son cuadrados 
y tu y yo entre los atomos 
y tu y yo en el centro del espejo 
y yo escucho solo al nino 
y yo entiendo solo a la nina 
y el cuarto desaparece 
y la fuente sigue sigue fluyendo 
y ves el oro de la primavera 
y miras el ojo del pajarito 
y yo escucho solo la lluvia 
y solo la lluvia que me entienda 
y yo arribo en aquel monte  
donde se quedan las pesadillas  
de la nina que esta durmiendo

Composed during a whirlwind period of touring and sound engineering in 2019, 𝑂𝑛𝑙𝑦 functions as both a tranquil refuge and as a heartfelt appreciation for the source instruments' timbres. Berlin-based Bridget Ferrill crystallizes her professional recording experience and artist residencies into a singular focus on Buchla modular, harp, zither, and viola da gamba. Rather than an exercise in technical mastery, Ferrill's careful arrangements invite us to linger with each instrument; in her words, fulfilling the longing to "listen a little longer, a little slower". Every contour of the instruments is lovingly traced, a warm invite for us to join her in the exuberance of exploring their inner life.

我要做远方的忠诚的儿子 
和物质的短暂情人 
和所有以梦为马的诗人一样 
我不得不和烈士和小丑走在同一道路上

Order OHER PEPLE'S CRIMES: www.anaott.bandcamp.com/album/other-peoples-crimes

After ‘Cobraxine’, ‘Boogie Throb’, and the Ana Ott – released ‘Molochville’, Brecht Ameel (Razen/Ameel Brecht) gives us his new album under the Br’lâaB moniker ‘Other People’s Crimes’; a high-on-paranoia, pre-crime-surveillance narrative, constructed after hours in the studio from a combination of Ameel’s own recordings on a widely varied set of instruments, library music, flea-market broken vinyls and old cassettes. Part blind-overdub palimpsest-collage, part straightforward composition, the 10” contains both Br’lâaB’s loop constructions and tracks performed by the found audio phantom band called the Acid Boogie Quartet. Bearing more gritty layers of both sound and subtext than ever, the “Other People’s Crimes” EP stands as an artefact of wild paranoia and spy-thriller sonics, weaving vignettes of surveillance gone wrong, doublethink and confessional echolalia.

Police and thieves are in the streets, running wild with nosebleeds and ill will ids. Dial v for victim as the night horizon broods a neon luminol glow. Howling at the vortex, buried under blindfolds, vigilantes take to crime with fear and ketamines.

Other People's Crimes

Br'lâaB - Dial V for Victim

The music of Naarm/Melbourne composer Lisa Lerkenfeldt channels a unique wavelength of foreboding, interstitial electronics, incorporating strategies of musique concrete threaded with veiled currents of melody and hypnosis. Recent recordings for Vienna Press, Longform Editions and Aught Void have demonstrated different depths of process and finesse but her latest, Collagen, captures perhaps the most complete and complex manifestation of her craft to date.

Drawing on a disciplined palette of peach wood combs, contact microphones, piano, strings, and feedback, the album moves in low, looming arcs, ascending to strange purgatories of opaque atmosphere. Lerkenfeldt cites a core aspiration to “elevate the everyday,” transforming common objects into otherworldly sound sources, which colors Collagen with a beguiling tactility, like vibrations traced in sand. The tracks shift in frequency and feeling, alternately heady and bodily, acoustic and synthetic, isolated states of static, light, and undertow skirting the outer rings of ambient, noise, and modern composition.

Although each piece exists in its own rare air the composite panorama they present is striking in its sweep and subtlety. Lerkenfeldt's muse seems one of evasion as much as evocation, navigating negative spaces for their subliminal whispers of dread or beauty. It's an aesthetic both ascetic and exploratory, minimalist mirages of resonance, texture, and gravity skewed through the pensive glow of room tone.

But Lerkenfeldt is too versatile an artist for purist restraint, which Collagen demonstrates dramatically in its closing cut, “Champagne Smoke.” A quivering bowed eulogy ebbs under a flickering film of distortion, slowly swelling in sorrow until suddenly the screech goes silent, revealing a murmuring phantom haze hidden beneath the strings, like a specter lost in an abandoned house.

14 Gestures associated with this album will be performed in experimental film and online viewing room of graphic notation at 14gestures.com from 29th July to 29th October, 2020.

Collagen releases on Shelter Press in LP / DL format on August 21, 2020. LP mastered and cut by Kassian Troyer at D+M, designed by Bartolomé Sanson with art by Lisa Lerkenfeldt, housed in reverse-board inner and outersleeve, including a 16 pages limited edition score book.
