Cool melody, but it's a bit too distorted for my taste

Par delà l’espace et le temps, les humains ont évolué de manière inattendue au gré de leur environnement, engendrant de nouveaux êtres : ectoplasmes, métahermaphrodites, ou entités se nourrissant d'ondes delta... Autant de formes de vies extraordinaires reflets de la musique organique et futuriste de cet habitué des mondes sonores parallèles, et des musiques imaginogènes.

(NSD03) Poborsk - Nouvelles Mutations - 01 Kidtoplasme

Simple Sound Library is a wholesome composition, inspired by a collaborative live electroacoustic performance with @mudaki from Phonon event at 2018. We streamed a signal from piano and changed sound in real time.
At first that sample had laid into the foundation of this release. I built upon it, improvising with various instruments, frequency manipulation, field recordings, synths and others. Eventually the addings became a whole composition in its own right, erasing the supportive purpose of the initial sample, which therefore was deleted.

For our next mixtape instalment, we welcome  Lý Trang, a musician-sound artist who will unveil a haunting musical storytelling piece arranged as an abstract dialogue around time travelling.

Born and raised in the mountains of Northeast Vietnam, Trang's experiments with hollow rhythms follow folkloric instrumental phrases, and the music buzzes widescreen magic. Moving to Vietnam’s capital Hanoi for school, she connected with the local underground scene, joining Rắn Cạp Đuôi Collective for a short period before focusing more on her work as a multimedia artist. In 2018 she self-released ‘Snail Skeleton’, an album that hints at her sonic interests and various live-scoring commissions, soundtracks and installation works. 

Recently she released her second album, 'Syenite', grounded in a sense of alienation, first when she moved to Hanoi for school and later when she relocated to Moscow just a few months before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In the  Russian capital, her separation from home cracked open a deep yearning that swallowed up the erupting geopolitical uncertainty and disillusion, crystallizing into the album's 10 electro-acoustic tracks. 

Last year she also released her debut film 'Sisyphus's Cat' a conceptually complimentary short that charted the search for a lost pet in a parallel universe,  and her music follows a similar trajectory, interpreting interlocking themes sonically instead of visually.

The mix she has prepared for us, she says, "Is a musical-storytelling piece arranged as an abstract dialogue between the captain of a time machine and a girl who wants to be transferred to the future. The conversation is sometimes highlighted and sometimes escaped into layers of music, untangled by the thrill of technology in its content and way of producing sounds. The "captain" voice was amped through a vocoder, which dragged my voice down to a voice of a non-human character. In this sense, I tried to constantly call to mind human scales of time, science, presence and sustaining—even if only in their defamiliarizing absence. And I lean into the aesthetics of alienation, trying to imagine the world of immortal and forever-sustaining entities in the future and questioning that idea".
