Roe-deer woman.

I was

I was a roe- deer woman

Other roe-deers were marveling at my face

Other people were  at my hooves

So I weared highills, there were nailing on the moss

I was

I was a roe- deer woman

My name was E, because I always desired W

I desired W, to be WE

To be WE

In the nights I had a dreams about W

In the dreams beutifull hybrids came to me

I was

I was a roe-deer woman

I was looking for W in the needle forests

I was searching  WE on the concreto roads

I was a roe-deer woman

I was calling W on the concreto roads

I was calling WE in the niddle forests

I was

I was a roe-deer woman

And when I was looking for

And when I searching for WE

In the niddle forest, on the concrete roads

I was triaing to learn a backwordwalk 

In case suddenly appeard W

In case suddenly appeard WE.

I was, 

I was a roe-deer woman

And when I was walking 

On the concrete roads

In the needle forest

I stumbled over a stone

Oooo what a wonderfull stone -  I thought

Oooo what a beautifull stone – I said

Althought he doesn’t have arms

He doesn’t have eyelashes

He doesn’t have penis

But why not, why not

Why can’t he be my husband

And I put him on my bag, and I put him on my bag, I put him on my bag

I was

I was a roe-deer woman

He doesn’t speak but you know

In love everything is beyond words

He still doesn’t speak 

So I was thinkink that We had a silent days

I was,

I was a roe-deerwoman.

I was,

I was a roe-deer woman

And one day I flew away

On the cosmic Stone…

Am I happy?

Sure, it’s wonderfull meeting new stars everyday.

Extract from CD  "Raw Field Recordings II: Electromagnetic Detritus"

Marañón

“Marañón” is the name of a big river that crosses the Peruvian Amazon. I composed this piece strongly influenced by the experience of navigating this and other rivers in the jungle for many days. During this experience, I perceived --in the way that the life occurs every day in those environments--  certain cycles and processes with behavioral patterns that I would later extrapolate in my composition unconsciously. I became aware of this after hearing the piece when it was finished, and I was surprised to find this relation. Some years later, I discovered that some traditional musicians and shamans in South America use these kinds of techniques (the act of visiting special places that are called "places of power" ) to learn how to play the music for a specific traditional celebration or to find the spiritual disposition to resolve some specific problem in their community. It seems that some environments influence us with certain patterns of behavior (shapes); these can be extrapolated to different contexts and experiences that do not have a direct relation to them, at least not in a rational way.

On the one hand, I do not have a conventional education in algorithmic composition; on the other hand, I contemplate 'live phenomena ' as a way to perceive structures for the composition. These two factors prompt me (sometimes in an unconscious way) to de-compose, to meta-compose (when I am programming), to improvise, to listen or to live, in an attempt to throw out a conception of music that follows rational archetypes and paradigms, and instead emphasize the direct experience and its suggestiveness. This piece is my refusal to a totally controlled/abstracted order and represents a way to keep an open mind to a spontaneous organization that emerges from the sound-energy generated by the patterns recreated in the algorithm.

GABBER MODUS OPERANDI - Pedas Sumatra

Kasimyn is one-half of Gabber Modus Operandi, the Bali, Indonesia-based duo that catapulted to the forefront of the Southeast Asian underground in 2018. As is the case with G.M.O.'s bewildering amalgam of modern and traditional/ritualistic sounds, it's not easy to wrap one's head around the origins of the music in Kasimyn's mix here, the result of a month of sharing links between himself, Ican Harem, and Enggohoi (OHOI records) (@enggohoi).

There's a myriad of complex historical and intercultural connections at the root of this music. According to Kasimyn, it is essentially grassroots synth-based dance music that is often played at wedding parties, harvest ceremonials and other events. Some of the wedding parties might turn into impromptu raves but generally the music is not intended for proper club purposes.

Kasimyn adds: "This music is mostly influenced by polyrhythmic 'Karo' traditions from northern Sumatra, and a new form of 'Rentak Kudo'; a fast-paced dance music genre which literally means 'Horse Stomp'. According to popular myth, the earlier Rentak Kudo events were so loud, you could hear them from neighbouring villages. The singer / MC, who is basically the master of ceremony, speaks in a lyrical form called 'Asuh' (or 'Pengashuh' in official Indonesian Bahasa language), which means 'caretaker' or 'guardian'. Additionally, a big variety of Persian and Arabic vocal and melody patterns are incorporated, since Sumatra was one of the first gateways for Islam to Indonesia in the 13th century, as introduced by Arab Muslim traders and the missionary activities by scholars."

[ This mix consists mostly of lo-fi youtube rips and old cassettes, since most of the material isn't available in any other format. Mastering / audio clean-up by Sebastian Pappalardo. ]
