Black Mill Tapes Vol. 1: Avant Shards

Electronic Rhythm Number Three

The score for Only Lovers Left Alive -- a collaboration between SQÜRL (Jim Jarmusch, Carter Logan and Shane Stoneback) and Dutch lutenist Jozef Van Wissem -- serves as a reflection of the distinct textures of Detroit and Tangier, bridging ancient and modern sounds, entangled and timeless.

Avant-Baroque lute weaves through twenty-first century guitar grit, heavy back beats, Moroccan percussion, synth bass, field recordings, and numerous sonic effects to create a cinematic tapestry.

Guest vocalist Madeline Follin (Cults) appears on SQÜRL’s syrup soaked re-interpretation of the Wanda Jackson hit “Funnel of Love." Zola Jesus's commanding vocal soars through Van Wissem’s "In Templum Dei." And Yasmine Hamdan’s intimate and evocative “Hal" was recorded on the set of the film and mixed by SQÜRL.

The film and soundtrack album were released worldwide in 2014, and quickly earned the group the Cannes Soundtrack Award from a consortium of film and music critics. In the years that have followed it has remained a favorite of critics and fans alike, who have continued to hunt down the limited vinyl copies in existence.

Film Synopsis:
Set against the romantic desolation of Detroit and Tangiers, an underground musician, deeply depressed by the direction of human activities, reunites with his resilient and enigmatic lover. Their love story has already endured several centuries at least, but their debauched idyll is soon disrupted by her wild and uncontrollable younger sister. Can these wise but fragile outsiders continue to survive as the modern world collapses around them?

We’ve reached book IV in Rupert Clervaux’s series of “Zibaldone” audio diaries, at which point we find him telling a different kind of story. 

“The first three all had very specific themes, while this one feels a little bit looser and doesn’t have just one thematic thrust,” he tells me, which maybe explains why listening feels a bit like annotating. I’m underlining, emphasizing, drawing arrows from here to there, highlighting symbols and noting motifs, realising, questioning, eureka-ing. An impressionistic meaning’s been encoded in and we’re lucky to be given the space to play that most poetic and boundless of all mental games: narrativization. 

There are no wrong answers, but Rupert offers some clues either way. If there’s any cipher here it’s “something like a meditation on the concept of ‘depth’––in all its connotative forms.” Think below the surface, (the) underground, yawning oceans, being ‘down in the dirt’, soil, roots, rootlessness, pulling at the dregs, collapse, profundity, stable and unstable horizons, distance, perspective, intuition, not to mention relative opposites: to be shallow, to be above, to be beyond. 

It’s got me thinking of Bresson’s “Bring things together that have as yet never been brought together and did not seem predisposed to be so.” His: “Dig deep where you are. Don't slip off elsewhere.” Rupert has realized these—two favourite goals of mine!—here. 

This is music that catches you at your own periphery, gives pause, has you offering a little “huh” to, asking “I wonder why” to. Again, it’s got me musing on another mindworm, this time from New York publisher and multi-sensory reading room Dispersed Holdings: “Feeling-making-knowing feedback loop; cartography of feeling; water as text, read to know the land beneath and around it, and body as reader.” 

Is it ok to offer up these other contexts out of context? I think so, because Zibaldone IV articulates a similarly swirly tone. Like, we’ve got Rebecca Solnit talking through Kropotkin’s “Mutual Aid” and later calling out to Michael Ruppert a ways away, and “Easy Rider” is playing in the wings. We’ve got Susan Sontag magically contextualizing Mariah Carey with poet Thylias Moss triangulating in order to sketch out (Rupert again) “something a little more interesting than wilful eclecticism or that laboured and patronising kind of pop-savvy.” 

Are we following? Whether yes or no Vanessa Bedoret follows on with a performance of a performance of Moss’s 'Water Road’: to be once or twice removed, via strange transitions, purposeful confusions, and, suddenly, seagulls. We’re on a boat with Ingeborg Bachmann—and how I wish I could actually be! But maybe thanks to this music I can as literature, films, friends, lethargy, coincidences, little mental links, eternal wormholes, lingering notions come together to imagine something better.

LIVE FROM PROEKT: 02#03 "Zabelin" (acoustic)

На протяжении нескольких минут Никита @zabelin накручивает текстурированный патч, в котором отлично угадывается атмосфера самого бункера. Помимо того, что звучание представляет собой безэмоциональный нойз, пропитанный сыростью неуютных железных свай, композиция полностью не имеет формы. Уже не в первый раз Никита обращается к структуре, отказывающейся от квантизации, если вспомнить его солный альбом Rhizome. Но всё это не мешает удерживать внимание слушателя на композиции, а лишь ещё больше заставляет прочувствовать каждый слой этого произведения.

Tragedy to Come w/ Ben Chatwin 12/04/2022

There's a new tomorrow
If you hold on today
And forget all the sorrow
That causes the pain

It tears you apart
Like ashes in the wind
You need a new start
When next day begins

There´s a new tomorrow
It was a yesterday
When there was no sorrow
There was no pain

There´s A New Tomorrow

Sunny Days

Alive

The Secret Place

Dream

And from her summit she reigns
Over the blackness and day
I react to the dream taking place
In you’re head wont relive what there went

And through the fires we race
Gaze at the world we’ve create
Feel the heat of battles far taking place
Cant hold it like new skin crawling back

And while I’m taking you’re joke
Empty us now we wont know

Claim all you’re fortune and rest
Transfer my thoughts to a safe
Make a wish throw all you’re teeth at the well
She’ll come back like a thief in the night

And by the thousands thrown in
pressing us down the grinder

And through the dark I hurry
loyal, and found, lucky dog

What will it take to get through
You’re back in the game but alone

Then your dreams give you up and the silence responds
And you dream waking up over icy cold tiles
When the fear wakes you up of things unresolved
Feel her walk through and pass like a scent

Dream
