‘Eye, Iris’ is the first EP by Austrian sound artist Oravin @oravin released on July 15 by Rest Now!

Entirely written and recorded during the first Corona lockdown, ‘Eye, Iris’ is a sound collage of contradictions: memories of distant raves, walking home along rivers and lakes in the morning, and broken futures. A dirge of time lost, of wasted months and wasted lifetimes, pleading for forgiveness—a paean of joy for this one body, this one life. ‘Eye, Iris’ evokes a world where vision succumbs to sound, where memory and experience melt into one.

Oravin is a sound artist with a background in literature and philosophy, living and working in Vienna. The artistic journey started with literature and audiovisual poetry performances. His poetic practice focused on the oral quality of words, using a limited and repetitive word pool. As part of Babelsprech, an international network of young German language poetry, these performances brought him to the stages of literature houses and festivals, including Tokyo, Marseille, Sarajevo and Chernivtsi.

Diagnostic and Æthereal Arthropod are two of the main players in the contemporary industrial, experimental, and noise scene in Europe, the former being one of the projects of the Belgian sound/graphic designer Jan Robbe (UndaCova, Atomhead, Erratic), and the latter being the moniker of the Spanish musician Nestor Peixoto Aballe, who responsible is for some of the harshest outings in the post-club community such as the releases on Genot Centre, Quantum Natives, and many more.

Their artistic relationship dates back to at least 2016 when Nestor's Hydra's Amaranthine Invigoration two-tracker saw the light on Entity Records, an mp3/ogg netlabel co-founded by Robbe together with Nico De Gols that was born on the ashes of the previous incarnation Tinnitus (reportedly dead in 2003 because of a server problem). Three years later, in May 2019, the two musicians spent a few days together at Robbe's place in Deinze, Belgium that ended up in several minutes of collaborative material which has since then been shaped up in their first record together, called RELIC and out on Friday, May 7th (#BANDCAMPFRIDAY!) on the artists' Bandcamp pages.

Mastered by GianMaria Dell'Aera at Dadub Studio, RELIC collects the results of multiple sessions of modular improvs and vocal fx recording that have been manipulated over the course of the next two years in the shape of a chimeric, alien flow of sound, all wrapped up into 5 track with ominous titles such as Eternal Return of the Derelict Species, The Detrimental Axis of Brutalism, etc. The record lives out of the overlap between Robbe's of radical, harsh industrial music and Nestor's beastly, grinding vocal tracks. As reported by the authors themselves, the work has been shaped around the envisioning of a long-lost, advanced extraterrestrial civilization destroyed by the magnitude of an extinction-level event, and the effects of said terror on the inner functioning of the few survivors' psyches.

Diagnostic and Æthereal Arthropod indulge in the evocation of obscure back-to-primitiveness rituals by means of guttural vocals, and oscillating infra-bass tides while simultaneously infiltrating into the mangy remainings of the inhabitants' sense of being via piercing, blade-sharp noise bursts. Today, we're glad to present you a 5-minutes excerpt out of the EP, namely the third piece called PSXLM (Psalms to the Forgotten), which represents the no-return point inside the alien ceremony that will take you to decaying landscapes of distorted fear.

Bordering on anthemic, Oravin's club-adjacent experimentalism exists in the liminal space between memory and experience.

'Eye, Iris' is out July 15th on Rest Now!.

Concept/design by Ilya Perevedentsev

Language as an artistic tool has been widely explored in conceptual and particularly in sound art for more than a century: from the phonetic poems of Dada, to Stockhausen’s experiments with text and voice, to contemporary electro-acoustic works in this day and age. 

Relations between languages and their sonic characteristics was the main focus of cadeu's Master’s degree and the result of a three-year-research and experimentation. Why do languages sounds just like they do? What does constitute a linguistic soundscape? In 2021’s ambient mix UI cadeu examined several languages in a deconstructed mode. The words were torn apart into particles that are deliberately devoid of any meaning, but still retaining the character of a language. Conceptually the approach was based on the idea of l’objet sonore introduced by P. Schaeffer, by means of which he regarded sounds as independent acoustic events, detached from their sources, deprived of the original meaning and intended for listening, charged with acousmatic experience. 

cadeu said:
LANGUAGE EP and the forthcoming album EX became my playground to explore this idea in the realm of club music. Throughout the record, language is interchangeably revealed in both deconstructed and habitual ways, letting the meaning in and leaving it out, attempting to spell a message and suddenly losing it only to become another instrument in a track.

The elusive Music For Your Plants (MFYP) guides us on a sonically visceral expedition. Swimming through melted digital debris into a tropical cyber cave of sophisticated grime and Balearic echoes, we experience a fusion of primal and technical cadence.

MFYP’s visuals build on the juxtaposition of anthropological imagery and growing electronic colonialism. By bridging the natural world and its pixelated conceptualization, MFYP opens a green data chamber into the future of “world music.” Transcending archaic models of societal structure, the following key illustrates the balance of symbols and parallels within MFYP’s constructed journey.  
 
Aborigine = Cosmopolite
Animality = Truth Fusion
Homo Sapiens = Humanity
Vegetation = Civil Structure
Cloud Forest = Global Jungle
Conflict = Resolution
