After all the celebrations due to our 50th release, what better way to come back than with Ozcän Saraç.
This artist who has been on our radar for some time due to his excellent releases on Kaer'Uiks, Superpang or Tokinogake presents us a selection of tracks which in my opinion are connected to each other.

Throughout the listening of this album you will appreciate how the palette of sounds that Özcan plays with is present in almost all if not all the compositions, this conceptual form of sound treatment creates a link between the listener and the artist as it requires an active listening to understand the journey that Özcan is inviting us to.

One of the impressions I had after the different listens I have had of the album is that if you want to get the same sensations you have to repeat the journey again.
Once you get on board it's hard to get out of that enveloping sound that all the tracks are endowed with, it becomes addictive honestly.

A great album to enjoy long walks, or long trips will also be very appreciated for audiophiles, the sound treatment is excellent.

Fanny Latgé a écrit le texte de la vidéo après avoir survécu aux violences policières lors du rassemblement en opposition aux méga-bassines à Sainte-Soline, les 28 et 29 octobre 2022.

Avec la montée de l’extrême droite, le génocide Palestinien, au Congo, au Soudan, il est devenu urgent de se mobiliser et empêcher le fascisme d’être la seule voie représentée.
Avec la montée de l’extrême droite, les génocides et crimes au Moyen-Orient, il est essentiel de se mobiliser et empêcher le fascisme d’être la seule voie représentée.

Nous pouvons tous·tes jouer un rôle face à la montée de l'extrême droite. En tant qu’artistes, il nous a semblé nécessaire de politiser notre travail et d’apporter un discours militant.

Absorb is proud to present ‘Thought Makes Music’, the highly anticipated long-player by gi, solo moniker of unbridled musician, performer, and lyricist Gigi De Lacy (Optic Nerve).

'Thought Makes Music' is gi’s farthest-reaching work, a conclusive vision that follows a succession of revered sketches and short-form releases on labels such as Altered States Tapes (AUS) and Beyond the Bridge (ROK). So far her work sits on the outer limits of what can be considered “dance music”, and at full-length, its singular and immersive quality is glaring. Here, gi’s familiar spacious sound design and metallic IDM percussion is refined by an intertidal palette and restrained songwriting parameters. Given a larger canvas, gi works with increasingly blurred, distorted and feedbacking sounds, enclosed by asynchronous rhythms, bent and then snapped back into grid; the album reveals its musicality in moments of overlap, where everything happens at once.

Across eight tracks, listeners find electronic music that is less concerned with narrative so much as with landscape. gi habitually uses a set of recurring samples, melodies and drums to create the murky atmosphere that permeates the record. Instances of repetition, like a re-used drum break across 'laces', 'coil' & 'rapture' reveal a practice that is constantly rearranging itself via generative drum programming and resampled modulation. This impulse for repetition snowballs into a prominent exploration into feedback on this release. From the warping harmonies on 'feedback'; screeching textures on 'rapture'; and the metronomic jolts of frequency on 'morning' and 'knots', we hear gi’s fascination with “failed” methods of capture, nodding to her history with DIY, punk and hardcore scenes in so-called Australia. Exploring “blown out” re-recorded musical qualities for the first time under the gi alias, we find overtures of amplified noise bleed into otherwise crisp arrangements.

Allowing discreet reference-points to blur, new tonal profiles and distorted intensities arise for gi. 'Thought Makes Music' draws connections with the world around it, following rolling moments of feeling. gi presents her debut confidently, but the sound remains curious, playful & protective of itself; it answers no questions.

Speak Thy Queens

"𝘪𝘯 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 is an affirmation of communion. An invitation to contemplate that we are threaded by the same material traces, imprinting us —first through our senses, then through the distillation of experience into memory and its gifts: perspective, continuity, belonging. An analog photograph contains traces of the light that touched who or what was pictured. A body of water is the link between anything that was ever in it, no matter whether it leaves or stays. Words, tarot cards, and any other signs are portals to all the previous and future times they emerge. The walls of a room in a gallery or a house are coated with what happened inside it. A harp string disrupts the elements with the same vibration that travels and interacts with our bones. 𝘪𝘯 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 is an invocation of the tangible as encounter, of the shared object as a site that refracts punctual experience into a new kind of collective knowledge. A portrait and a prayer that suture the wound between body and instrument, between voice and name."
