Immersive trance inspired by landscapes of 2010’s video games

2010年代のビデオゲームのランドスケープから影響を受けた没入型トランス

Valet - Besaid

@SaintAbdullah & @Eomac rekindle their longstanding collaboration in this fiery new release sourced from the multiple cultural references and personal stories of its producers.

In their third installment entitled “Light meteors crashing around you will not confuse you”, the New York-based Iranian-Canadian siblings Mohammad and Mehdi Mehrabani-Yeganeh aka Saint Abdullah & Wicklow-based Irish producer Ian McDonnell aka Eomac continue their exploration of sounds and rhythms through an expansive use of sampling and heavy distorted beats. Passionately curious about diverse vocal and musical cultures as well as their own, the trio began their long-distance collaboration in 2019, releasing their first two albums, “Patience of a Traitor ” (Other People) and “Chasing Stateless” (Planet Mu) in 2022 and 2023 respectively.

The trio recorded the album as the world witnessed the genocide on Gaza, Mohammad notes that all tracks were “recorded within a few weeks in October after the war broke out as we tried to keep our heads above water.” The sound of Saint Abdullah is characterized by a keen interest to challenge cultural perceptions and expectations of diasporic narratives, by foregrounding sounds, field recordings, and sacred and profane music from the multiple worlds they belong to. They pay homage to the distinct influences, however sonically and culturally disparate, that have permeated their records and musical process so far. Together with Eomac, they continue a conversation shaped by their ever-growing sonic heritage and shared musical affinities. The inclusion of field recordings for example, often personal ones, are not ornamental but are integral parts of the whole album in which vocal samples are both used in moments of release or through thrusts of heavy beats, continually mirroring a state of unease.…

Reflecting on the recording process, Eomac notes that: “There is a strong influence and inspiration from hip-hop culture here. The beat-tape in particular. It’s rough, raw; rhythms are direct and not overthought. The beats are heavy and distorted for the most part, often shifting and changing throughout a single track. This brings an intentional “ungroundedness” to the record and a sense of tension.” Echoing this state of unsteadiness, Mohammad writes in a poem during the recording: “Those in the diaspora, are those that have left their home, by force, by will, somewhere in between. Are we the connective tissue that makes things more interesting?” Tracks like 'Bitch, I am Islam’ and ‘Rocknrallah’ relieve some of the sense of disorientation but are no less poignant. In the former, 'Bitch, I am Islam', Mohammad uses old personal recordings of his sisters reciting the Quran or repeating Iranian revolutionary chants like “War war, until victory”, an acknowledgment of the worlds they left behind and the ones that need building. In ‘Rocknrallah’ Abdel Ja7eem Hafeth sings a rendition of the 1933 American standard tune ‘Smoke gets in your eyes’ only to evoke the smoke coming out of Gaza.

The record also features fellow Iranian artists in the diaspora, musician and sound artist based in Paris Cinna Peyghamy and club experimentalist Aria Rostami. Ian Bruner, who worked on the album’s artwork, created a composite of the different elements and motifs that form the album, an image of arduous travel towards the mirage of Americana. In this historic period of grief and anger, ‘Light meteors crashing around you will not confuse you’ musically and conceptually engages world systems and beliefs through the experiences and stories of its producers.

Full compilation "Scores" out September 4th on @club-late-music

Track by @xclairx
Artwork/Sheet by @chaggrin
Mastering by @iamxato

Scores +°-  glyphs to sounds !

+°°+--+
Scores is a compilation exploring musical notations and how they can be interpreted as sounds. People have always tried to translate sonic expressions into visual cues that could be archived, passed down, and transformed back into music. 

From symbols to numbers, grids, staffs, figures or abstract shapes, several languages have been developed and continuously questioned to improve the ability to retain the emotion and meaning sounds can convey - what lies behind the veil.
 
What if this time, the notation would come beforehand?

+°°+--+
The project unfolded in two phases. In the first one, visual artists from the Global URL Nation could propose one sheet of music score, free of interpretation. They were invited to play with musical notations and explore what it would even mean.
–
It welcomed chaggrin, Eurrope, M4X1US, MYEN, s1m0nc3ll0 & Ziyiz for 6 sheets


+°°+--+
In the second phase, artists from GUN could pick one sheet and create a track trying to follow it as much as possible. It invited them to question music as a physical object, with its shapes, colors, textures and layers with the following :

__How is the overall composition? Are there any axis or lines that could be interpreted as a timeline or a melodic scale?
__How many discrete elements are in the image? How are they laid out?
__What are the shapes involved?  What is their scale? Do they have sharp or blurry outlines?
__What are the colors/textures used? How do they relate with each other in terms of tones, contrasts…?
__How are the different elements layered on top of each other? Are they superimposed or do they merge in some way?
__How would they translate them in musical terms, such as textures, notes, structures, timbres, rhythms, dynamics? 

It welcomed Bademjan, Baje Nunca, C+Vis, Capiuz, Clair X, C.T.A.A.M.  Ecovoron, Epiphagi, HeedLess, Mambo Kahn, migu, POL100, Yau Hei ASJ & Ziyiz for 14 tracks ranging from ethereal scorescapes to hyperstimulating scratches. Sounds and shapes weave together, blurring the boundaries between the two media to create one whole entity

+°°+--+
With Scores, we invite you to seek the music that can be hidden in our surroundings, to decrypt and hear the phantom scores one can find in every shape, every color and every little visual detail __ open your ears and see the sounds, sometimes music lies in a simple fold of clothing

SATNAV - the experimental electronic project of Sebastian Zieler (co-founder of The Big Oil Recording Company) - releases his debut concept album, every•thing•a•part, on June 13. A meditation on climate grief, the album imagines distant-future AI lamenting the loss of Earth’s living world. The first single, r u alpha waving at me??, drops May 8, but premieres on katharsis today, May 5th.

With detailed sound design, pop-inspired harmony and high-contrast sonic imagery, the album is a series of lamentations and love songs for nature. First single r u alpha waving at me?? is a lullaby for extinct species, whispered in binary. Its eclecticism moves from a dungeon synth-inspired intro to shifting avant-garde electronics - a fitting introduction to the album’s play with form and colour, described by SATNAV as “painting with an imaginary palette.”

04 - When U See Me

RIFT One is the first instalment in a series of releases curated by YEAR0001, featuring contributions and commissions by a variety of highly innovative and influential artists.

By releasing this compilation ahead of schedule and donating all proceeds from purchases directly to community bail funds, mutual aid funds, and racial justice organisers we hope to make a small contribution towards awareness and change, and encourage our community to act against injustice and stand together in solidarity. 

Racial injustice, white supremacy and all forms of discrimination simply has no place in the culture we represent; we will continue to educate ourselves, listen, learn and find more ways to support both in a short and long term perspective.

All future entries of the RIFT compilation series will also donate to humanitarian organisations and funds.
