Notebook Soundtrack Mix #15: Trent Reznor in Hollywood

Marina Herlop - Pripyat
Label: PAN
Cat.No. PAN 128
Format: DL
Release Date: 20 May 2022
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/Pripyat

Marina Herlop is often described as a pianist, a lingering remnant of her classical training. But what strikes the listener on Herlop’s breakout track miu is the intricate trickery of her voice, tracing rhythmical clusters around the subtlest of musical beds, in a technique inspired by Carnatic music of Southern India. 

miu, the opening track of Herlop’s new studio album Pripyat, was among the first songs that the young Catalan artist made on a computer, after two albums - 2016’s Nanook and 2018’s Babasha - that brought spectral elegance to the sound of piano and voice. This spirit of adventure continues into Pripyat, Herlop’s first full album produced on a computer, and her most intensely emotional work to date. 

Listening to Pripyat you can feel the emotional toil and creative endeavour that went into the record. Fans of Nanook and Babasha will recognise the combination of melancholic piano and elegant vocal lines that is found on Pripyat tracks like abans abans. But Pripyat has a far fuller, almost chaotic sound when compared to Herlop’s previous work, with the addition of electronic drums, electric bass lines and a wealth of sublime production effects. 

Added to this production expertise are songs of incredible grace and poise. Kadish is a spectral torch song rendered in emotional 3D by Herlop’s gorgeous voice; ubunto has a feeling of deep longing and lingering sorrow; and shaolin mantis is like a pop song refracted through disorienting production effects and percussive vocal cut ups. Pripyat is the perfect combination of computer production trickery and intimate emotional release. 

Songs composed, produced and performed by Marina Herlop.

"Tutto ciò che esiste è possibile soltanto sulla base di una serie di assenze che lo precedono e lo circondano, permettendogli così di acquisire la coerenza e l'intelligibilità che possiede."
 — Mark Fisher
vanishing point è una composizione sonora in tre atti che attraversa i momenti cardine di una relazione affettiva: l’incontro, l’intimità, la frattura. L’opera esplora l’instabilità dei legami umani attraverso l’assenza: ciò che manca, ciò che si perde, diventa condizione di ascolto e di presenza.
Il materiale sonoro proviene da dialoghi tratti da tre film: Irma Vep (Olivier Assayas, 1996 – francese), Yi Yi (Edward Yang, 2000 – mandarino), Rocco e i suoi fratelli (Luchino Visconti, 1960 - italiano). I dialoghi, decontestualizzati e trasformati attraverso la sintesi granulare, si dissolvono in presenze-fantasma: voci che non comunicano più un significato, ma evocano emozioni, memorie, vuoti.
In questo processo, il linguaggio perde la sua funzione referenziale per diventare materia acustica: timbro, ritmo, vibrazione. Ogni atto si configura come un paesaggio emotivo disgregato, dove l’ascolto diventa un gesto interpretativo, una ricerca tra i resti di ciò che è stato.

Vamp rock score to the Adventure Time episode Marceline's closet.

Marcelines song at 3:33, is sung by Olivia Olson and is written by Jesse Moynihan and rendered in plastic form by moi... Check out Jesse's website at http://www.jessemoynihan.com .  He authored an idiosyncratic scifi erotic epic colored pencil graphic novel that is featured on his blog.  (I hope google goes to town with those keywords)

"How To Swallow A Sword"

4. HOW TO SWALLOW A SWORD

Experimental cinema sonics, electroacoustic research practice and shadowy wind instruments come together to form this unique interpretation of the mythical city of gold. Utilising rare, half forgotten Soviet era synthesisers Vladimir Karpov creates immersive soundscapes under the name XYR. The Formanta mini keytar and the Alisa 1377 lend Karpov’s music strange, seldom heard atmospheres which the St. Petersburg native then combines with field recordings, toy percussion and wood flute to further build upon his utopian narratives.

Part concept album, part nod to Popol Vuh, his attempt to channel the thematics of the ancient tale of the Muisca people through his modest home studio left a lasting impression on us here at 12th Isle and we’re proud to present a selection of the tracks on vinyl for the very first time. Originally confined to just 25 cassette tapes, for this edition we have assembled some of the most inspiring tracks from the sessions as well as the bonus closing piece ‘Aguirre Song’. Immediately engaging, sincerely heartfelt and strikingly original, these are recordings we have returned to time and time again.

Limited edition LP comes housed in screenprinted sleeve. ‘El Dorado’ recorded April – August 2014, originally released via Illuminated Paths (March 2015).
