Experimental 2024

i-D favourites '1080p' are continuing to push good music with their next release from Perfume Advert in the form of a fine slice of low slung, 110 BPM techno, blurring boundaries between house and techno with a dash of RnB groove. A new name to many, Perfume Advert takes on our Slumber Session and let us join in on his downtime. Get ready for the thrills and spills of Perfume Advert's dream world...

"In all honesty, dreaming for me is usually a pretty mundane affair.  Pedestrian activities like going to work or heading down to the local shop for a pint of milk are regular features in my dreams.  Sometimes there might be some short-lived conflict involved, maybe an argument with a friend or a frustrating encounter with a photocopier.  Seriously, my dreams are dull. When I was a bit younger I used to have regular, intense nightmares, usually brought on through stress.  But even then these nightmares were deeply rooted in reality.  I've never had fantastical, bizarre dreams.  Only banal repetition of my everyday life."

Slumber Session: Perfume Advert

“Tenderness” is the first collaborative album between Japanese musician Yumi Iwaki and Brazilian Carlos Ferreira using unreleased sketches, improvisations, and samples, “Tenderness” is a mosaic of painted sounds that does not end in itself, inviting the listener to inhabit its center.

Porto Alegre based experimental guitarist Carlos Ferreira and Tokyo-based synthesizer hypnotist Yumi Iwaki are presenting "Tenderness" , their first ever collaborative album through Modern Obscure Music. Carlos and Yumi have created this powerful ambient odyssey at the distance. Despite some connections between Yumi's family roots with the Brazilian musical scene, both artists feel a strong attraction about their cultural differences, through Literature, films, scents, colors, and nature… Carlos feels “there are infinite cultural differences between Japan and Brazil, and this can be explained by historical and even geographical factors, but people come together through very strong elements that are able to transcend these differences. Diversity must also unite us.”. Yumi explains that when she met Carlos on Instagram, she was instantly captivated by “his quiet, deep and fantastic view of the world, the feelings we shared seemed to take shape naturally, but it was Carlos' great talent to complete the production...  more

Satabban - LAMPBOUND

Total runtime: 33:16

In "Lampbound”, you embark on a retro video game journey as Max, an ordinary guy who stumbles upon a mysterious genie's lamp. In an unexpected twist, Max is magically pulled into the lamp and finds himself trapped within a fantastical world. With the genie's powers at his disposal, he must navigate through a labyrinthine maze of perilous puzzles, treacherous platforms, and enigmatic creatures to escape the lamp's confines.

As Max progresses, he uncovers hidden secrets and acquires unique abilities granted by the genie. These powers enable him to manipulate the environment, such as freezing time, conjuring temporary platforms, and transforming into different forms. Careful planning and clever utilization of these newfound skills are crucial to overcoming the various challenges that lie ahead.

Throughout the game, Max encounters eccentric characters, both helpful and mischievous, who offer cryptic advice or attempt to hinder his escape.

As Max inches closer to his freedom, he unravels the genie's backstory, uncovering the truth behind his entrapment and the enigmatic origins of the lamp. Will Max triumph over the lamp's ancient magic and find his way back to reality, or will he remain trapped within its confines forever?

TRACKLIST/LEVELS:

1. Lampbound Foyer: Max begins his adventure in the grand entrance of the lamp, facing introductory puzzles and obstacles while learning the game mechanics.

2. Wishful Woods: Max ventures into a mystical forest within the lamp, navigating through dense foliage, avoiding traps, and solving nature-themed puzzles.

3. Crystal Caverns: Max explores a series of shimmering caves adorned with crystals. He must traverse slippery platforms, dodge falling stalactites, and unravel puzzles involving light reflection.

4. Clockwork Citadel: Max finds himself in a clockwork-themed fortress, where he must manipulate gears, overcome timing-based obstacles, and solve intricate clock puzzles.

5. Mirage Oasis: Max encounters an illusionary oasis filled with mirages and sand-based challenges. He must decipher the real pathways, avoid mirage traps, and cleverly utilize sand-based mechanics.

6. Haunted Halls: Max enters a spooky section of the lamp, haunted by mischievous spirits and ghostly puzzles. He must outwit the apparitions and navigate through ethereal environments.

7. Elemental Chambers: Max enters a series of elemental chambers representing different powers. He must master the elements, such as fire, water, and wind, to progress and overcome elemental puzzles.

8. Genie's Sanctum: Max reaches the heart of the lamp, a majestic chamber housing the powerful genie. He must face the ultimate test, a climactic showdown with the genie, combining all his skills and knowledge.

We begin this small tour around 1995. I am not able to sleep. With no immediate prospect of ending this bad infinity, I create a tower from my pillows and fashion my blankets into a cave. Soon enough I fall asleep; the structuring of this formerly empty and directionless time had pushed me towards its conclusion.

Now 2019, I acquire a Revox reel-to-reel tape machine. I record many hours of improvisations, sending sounds from my Max MSP patch directly onto tape loops. Covering up the erase head with some cardboard, I enjoy listening to melodies gradually fade away as new layers are burned on top. The sounds I use are constantly plundered and re-plundered from past work of mine, forever composting my own musical memories. I like how the tape adds an extra layer of haze to the already distant fragments.

Now early 2024, I am in a small community in the Australian outback. I constantly refresh my browser to see the water height at Diljin Hill, to work out whether the river would flood us 12 hours later. As the flood waters rise and we get cut off from the outside, I can’t help but conceive of another sense of time, of grand time.

An eternal rhythm constructed not by humans, but by the land and the skies above it.

A slowly shifting present that doesn’t necessarily offer deprivation, but rather more of the less. A sense of what is, rather than what could be.

An eternal time that doesn’t require a neat sign-off from a conversation.

But why must I rely on the computer to see our fate? Might it not be better to just look eastward and see if clouds are gathering above the catchment?

And in any case, why must I obsess over travelling 12 hours into the future?

In early 2020, as the world goes into a restless slumber, I start to conceive of this album. As did the floodwater, a natural force precipitates a lasting present. Gradually I plow through recordings from the year before in order to find material. My original plan is to make a long, single piece of slowly developing music, that might help bridge the listener across the empty span of a night. Gradually I start to favour smaller vignettes, each separate from the universe, with no clear antecedent or consequence. You can find signs of both on this album.

Does this change of plan weaken the ability to induce sleep?
Or is that what dreaming is?
The construction of some sort of overarching sensibility, or even meaning, from our mishmash of fleeing presences in our age of being?

I write this now from yet another time and place. I am trying my best to make sense of some notes I wrote about 8 months ago, which were themselves derived from a book by a well-known contemporary Korean/German philosopher. Perhaps, dear reader, you picked up this reference throughout my little ramble?

As they tend to do, my musical tastes and interests have changed considerably since I began this album. Yet I have enjoyed returning to it when it suited my mood. While tired or lacking energy it has been a warm blanket to guide me. As I look out my window now, the sky is grey and the wind is blowing leaves off the trees. Perhaps this might have formally been a trigger to open up this project folder.

There are still traces of this album in my newer work. It sits as a dream to my more current work; a lingering warmth while the moonlight has already died.

I am gradually getting better at falling asleep as well.

What’s that rustling outside my window?
Or is it a faded memory whispering to me?

Ssshhh, time to sleep
Let the hiss guide you

Thank you to Vicky, who kindly let me use this amazing photo. And thank you to Andrea, who has been an absolute dream to work with, and who also did a particularly sensitive job of the mastering.

I hope you enjoy this album, and I hope you don’t get stuck in too many bad infinities.
