Gaze Into The Sun

Szymon Kaliski - To Linger

Dans la forêt il y a des pins qui brûlent
Dans a forêt il y a des pins qui se font dévorer par le scolyte
Dans la forêt il y a des gens qui se battent pour finir de les arracher
Dans la forêt il y en a des gens qui luttent pour les en empêcher

La forêt usagère de La Teste-de-Buch dans les Landes a brûlé ainsi qu'une bonne partie des pinèdes aux alentours durant les incendies de l'été 2022. Depuis, tout est chamboulé pour les habitants, car c'est un lieu qu'ils arpentent depuis des centaines d'années, dont ils utilisent les ressources et prennent soin comme un membre de leur communauté, en regard des droits ancestraux qu'ils ont dessus. Mais les grands forestiers procèdent à des coupes rases, et la lutte administrative et sociale s'organise. Le documentaire d'Alexandre Cartigny retrace cette histoire contemporaine aux travers du portrait et des témoignages des habitants.

La BO que nous avons composé à cette occasion, Thomas Baudoin et moi même, tire sa matière des instruments des Landes, comme la boha, les rhombes, la conque et les tulhères (sortes de trompes en écorce), mais aussi du son du feu, des vibrations des tronçonneuses, et des pépiements des oiseaux. L'énergie de la musique a pris naissance dans ce que nous ont inspiré les images et la BO du film Sirāt, où le désert qui y figure fait écho à cette forêt landaise en péril. Une question de temps ? une seule certitude au bout du compte, ici la forêt reviendra.

" Aci la seuva tornarà" est le thème principal de cette BO, thème dont on a décliné ensuite tous les éléments pour fabriquer la musique du documentaire.

Ici la Forêt reviendra, générique intro

Cada vez tengo más claro que, en ciertos momentos de la vida, nuestras vivencias y emociones crean instantes verdaderos. Esta pieza minimalista de Ambient narra una despedida: una sensación de amor con regusto amargo, porque un ser querido no volverá a abrazarnos. Y, sin embargo, permanecerá para siempre un recuerdo nostálgico que seguirá vivo en nuestro interior.

Michiru Aoyama is a Japanese ambient producer from Kyoto who also enjoys making music in the quiet seaside city of Kamakura, just south of Tokyo. Michiru studied electronic music production in Berlin after his work was hand-chosen by Ryuichi Sakamoto for a radio audition in 2006. Since then, Michiru has released projects on prominent ambient labels such as Organic Industries, taâlem, and Somehow Recordings.

Michiru Aoyama’s Brilliant Days LP comprises two tracks of untitled songs that weave in and out of each other. Michiru’s signature guitar harmonics are treated with serene electronic filters met with youthful under-layers of electronic experimentations and glitchy backdrops.

In the Summer of 2019 Greig Baird and his family moved home and into a new area of a city they have lived for many years.

The layers and layers of history in this new locale were palpable and inspired Baird to create this small collection of music, ‘Once Hallowed’.

This new area was home to a Franciscan Friary established in the 13th century and later home to a church, Allhallows-on-the-Wall built in the 19th century. This church was later a corset factory, then later a parachute factory during war time. The last burials in this place were conducted in secrecy by the light of a midnight moon during the cholera epidemic of 1832. The wall outside Baird’s home dates to Roman times and was once the south-western city limit.

The burial grounds now deconsecrated and long abandoned are also home to the catacombs of the city. Again abandoned long ago, bodies long removed, tales of stolen skulls and grave robbing, and the stone of which they are built are all that remains. The areas wildlife, dog walkers, children playing, students hanging around, drunks falling asleep on abandoned tombs and the city’s drug dealers plying trade all make the place what it is. Often beautiful as the light changes and Falcons fly above, the sounds of the day city form into the nocturnal; sometimes sad as the desperation of people’s modern situations becomes abundantly clear.

The relics of the past experienced in our present creates something else. Something deeply inspiring, creating an atmosphere deeply felt and not entirely understood.

Circumstance Synthesis

afternoon

Pakistani-American avant-composer and drummer of the cult experimental acoustic trio Dawn of Midi, Qasim Naqvi, shares the second single 'Onna at Pulse', taken from his new album 'Beta' — out June 20 to coincide with the first ever Love Record Stores Day, in support of local record shops. 

· support Love Record Stores Day: https://www.loverecordstores.com
· pre-order 'Beta' on limited edition clear LP: https://idol.lnk.to/onna-at-pulse
· watch Qasim perform live from his kitchen: https://youtu.be/Gedfxi28220

One in a series of experiments chronicling Naqvi’s understanding of writing for a modular synth, 'Onna at Pulse' sounds like as if it moves in and out of the realms of control, twisting around a melody with a life of its own; "Onna at Pulse was the first piece of music I made with an extremely rudimentary modular synthesiser. I had just acquired two components and I wrote this simple exposition as an exercise to see what the machine would do. It was like teaching one eyeball to blink." — Qasim Naqvi

Meant as a prequel to last year's 'Teenages', a modular synth suite in six parts, 'Beta' evolved from the most basic elements of a modular synthesiser. As Qasim explains; "One oscillator and a random voltage generator which is a module that releases sporadic currents through the system. Ironically, this component provided a lot of warmth and humanness to the music, a kind of fallibility. At the time I felt that this music was underdeveloped but listening back, I think the 'Beta' tracks add an interesting dimension to the entire 'Teenages' arc. They’re the zygotes.”

If 'Teenages' captured the sound of electronics living, breathing and mutating of their own accord 'Beta', rather, describes the moment they came to life.

Love Record Stores Day is an initiative from the #loverecordstores campaign, launched during lockdown to encourage music fans to shop online with their favourite record stores. Qasim Naqvi joins a wide range of artists and labels who have pledged to release exclusive, limited edition records including Caribou, Belle and Sebastian, Beach House, Robyn, New Order and many more.
