"A striking work of hi-def sound design, which intends to explore the intricacies of the human voice, and the significance that can be found in the oddities and interruptions to be found in our speech patterns." (https://soundcloud.com/djmag)

https://soundcloud.com/rami-abadir's Pause/Stutter/Uh/Repeat (GEN046) is a collection of gravity-defying tension build-ups and releases, crammed grimey patterns and blasting overdriven kicks setting the stage for an acousmatic, digital treatment of the human voice as a raw sound source. Vocal snippets, elusive traces of dialogs, ghost notes between utterances, modelled or resampled choirs all form the basis of this approach. On these tracks, high definition focused sound beams, charred high-res textures are complemented by intricate drum rolls sizzling, rushing up, bending beyond their breaking point joined by the clang of metallic, synthetic objects colliding, deforming, rupturing.
The release is accompanied by a handful of remixes, including a staggering diagonalization by https://soundcloud.com/frktl, a bass heavy club ready edit by https://soundcloud.com/ice_eyes, a frenetic, bouncy reimagination by https://soundcloud.com/fausto_mercier and a luminous big drum-powered rendition by https://soundcloud.com/zulimusic.

// https://soundcloud.com/rami-abadir about Pause/Stutter/Uh/Repeat (GEN046)
“Uh, um, ah, urgh, so, well, I mean, indeed—in everyday conversation, we stutter, pause, prolong a syllable beyond its actual length, sigh, click our tongues and lips, laugh, and repeat. Such interjections utterances and fillers may be considered superfluous to our interactions, even interrupting our flow of ideas. But, if we listen closely, we’ll find them loaded with deeper layers of meaning and affect: hesitation, thrill, discomfort, uncertainty, surprise, shyness, contemplation, or the agonizing search for meaning. 
As I extracted those recurrent utterances from supposedly coherent conversations, and the more I listened to those shards of sound in isolation, I came to the realisation that our semantic exchange has always been fragmented. This overpowering sense of fragmentation inspired a collage structure and infused the production with a deconstructed, dramatic and cinematic sound. In this sense, the collage technique in composition reflects how we construct meaning out of tiny utterances in our speech. “Pause/Stutter/Uh/Repeat” is a distillation of overlooked communication, implicit expression and elusive meaning, all of which could be reduced in a one-syllable utterance. The end result was a canvas of revisited meaning.
I submitted this work as my graduation project for the MA program “Digital Media” at the University of Arts Bremen.”

ABADIR - VII (Fausto Mercier Notif Tournament Remix)

by Guerre Maladie Famine (https://soundcloud.com/guerremaladiefamine )

"I feel like the disdain for certains music genres (seen as not sophisticated enough) is the legacy of this centuries old ethnocentric mindset using art as a way to establish cultural/intellectual superiority of one’s social group/class. Hence am I trying with mixes like this to go one step toward the deconstruction of the mental bondaries delineating what is or isn’t socially acceptable music wise."

Guerre Maladie Famine * no guilt only pleasure

Taken from 'Kleis' (G&P021) by Somaticae, out June 5, 2022.

Active since 2006 with multiple projects, evolved in countless DIY or festival performances & putting out a handful of hardline releases, on their latest project 'Kleis' out in May via Gin&Platonic, the Saint-Etienne based musician and respected performer Amédée De Murcia alias 'Somaticae' examines the disturbing concept of dichotomy, fundamentally shaping the world around us.

Being a follow-up to his noise, electronica and techno-oriented past releases via Brainstorm Lab, Lost Dogs ent. or In Paradisum, Kleis (meaning key in ancient greek) offers two iterations (the third is a cassette-only bonus) of an epic and raw, yet genuinely fluid sonic riddle. Composed and recorded during 2020 in Lyon, Kleis is a rebus encrypted with grubby drums, entangled irregularly like sonic tentacles of an octopus, unpredictably rolling on tossed with the cold streams of sharp noises. „The symbolism of the key has a double connotation since it has the power to open and close. It commands access to a place, inside a box, and to an acquaintance. Conversely, it can forbid this same access, so the key has both a role of initiation and discrimination,“ says Amédée.

Blush is an experience of feminine interiority. It evokes the life of a young girl through flashbacks, a vivid return of the repressed. Beginning with the void, its layers upon layers of free associating sounds weave an ethereal lullaby, punctuated with sharp, visceral bursts of dark memories and harsh epiphanies. It’s the girl’s attempt to pierce through the facade of adulthood.

Blush is surrender to euphoria, instant gratification, isolation and ambiguity- the compulsion to open yourself up to feelings new or distantly remembered, to memories of apocryphal events. Most importantly, Blush is somewhere else that you can go.

ava* is an artist based in Berlin, Germany.

Her initial involvement with music was through the use of her voice. In 2018, she released ‘Juice’, a vocal-driven experimental project, with Zach Tipitt on the Japanese label Dark Jinja.

Since then, her focus has shifted entirely to production. Although she’s only been producing for a year, she’s been collecting samples and field recordings for over five. The tracks on her new project, Blush, are assemblages of these sound memories, which she’s warped and obscured to create an aesthetic that’s both familiar and otherworldly.

As a producer, ava* creates environments that are loose and innocent, yet stark and haunting. Sounds float by and pierce through unpredictably, creating dense ambient atmospheres with pulses of drama. She hopes her music can inspire people to go “somewhere else,” whether it’s a made up place or somewhere they’ve been before.
