For 𝑊ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑒, Berlin-based Alie illustrates a selection from the Ashtavakra Gita with a sprawling excursion of narration-infused ambient and pointed club music selections. Alie’s recorded output and sound practice is a multifocal one: a body of generously considerate DJ mixes, appearances on Angelo Harmsworth’s Lime Lodge label, multiple remixes throughout the enmossed catalog, and the new recording project Awa Awa. 𝑊ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑒 is a subtextual primer to the recorded output Alie has amassed to date. Alie’s attention to momentum on 𝑊ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑒 is prescient as the selections expand over the generous seventy-two minutes of listening experience over sides A and B. 𝑊ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑒 provides joyous catharsis through well-earned reflection.

Alie functions as a channel, space and expression of sounds, frequencies and vibrations. These may materialize in form of tracks, sound pieces or co-creations, ready to be transmitted to all - vibrating on a resonant frequency. When playing records, Alie’s focus creates an oscillating flow between ambient, experimental and fast forward sounds.

For The Past

Index - Kainos
iDEAL197 LP
Available soon
Distributed by Boomkat

‘Kainos’ is the debut album by Index, a new electronic music project by British musician Simon Scott, recorded in 2016 to 2019 in Los Angeles. Scott is a veteran British composer, field recordist, drummer and mastering engineer. 
Taking inspiration from the conflicting opinions of Brexit debates from the Houses Of Parliament, Scott fed these live streams into his modular synthesiser for improvising and composing with. These symbiotic jams formed the foundations for each Index track, with only the sparse nocturnal beats from a Roland 909 and transparent editing of each modular jam to accompany the synthesis. 

Scott’s association with shoegaze, as a member of UK band Slowdive, and ambient influences, present in his solo work on Touch and 12k, is replaced by the early electronics influence of Coil and Throbbing Gristle on Insides, early metal pioneers Black Sabbath rising on tracks such as Blackesh and Exit B. The throbbing 909 pulse on Sprinkles provides a Dubbed out groove that calls to mind Arthur Russell jamming with Basic Channel and the bottom heavy bass lines of dubstep on Countdown has is visceral and contains a brooding sample of Rachel Goswell’s (from Slowdive) voice sucking everything into the mix.
A key conceptual influence to Kainos is Luigi Russolo’s Futurist manifesto for music, The Art Of Noises who glorifies the use of “noise-sounds” and other nonconventional musical sounds. This captures the imagination of a modern culture immersed in ecological disaster (climate catastrophe) and surrounded by the constant noise of capitalism and consumerism. Other inspirations for this album were taken from literary and non-musical ideas such as Donna Haraway’s 2016 book ‘Staying with the trouble; Making kin in the Chthulucene ’ and its central tenet that “our task is to make trouble, to stir up potent response to devastating events on a damaged earth”.
Index is the musical expression of Scott’s profound discontent with the lack of equilibrium we have right now and how disconnected we have all become in relation to nature and each other. Kainos means “now, a time of beginnings, a time for ongoing, for freshness” (Haraway). It is born from ecological grief and political frustration at a time when electronic and ambient music is sitting too comfortably in safe areas of sonic experience with nothing to say and providing aural wallpaper that is safe and sterile.
