Faultlines Forever

Third Tuesday's on @internetpublicradio 
@apte is a record label, party series, and DJ duo based out of Seattle, WA.

~What is the inspiration and vision behind Apt E?

Apt E has always been driven by a freewheeling sense of artistic expression beyond outlets exclusive to music. A strong friendship in which we co-enabled each other’s off-kilter concepts and senses of humor catalyzed our growth through shared experiences in our community. Apt E was born as an outlet to share our visions, which manifest as conceptual pieces across sonic and environmental mediums.  

~Can you share a little bit about what you’ve included in this mix and your process?

Color, texture, inward observation, music that moves us and grounds us, favorites old and new taken from curious corners of our collection. 

It’s difficult for us to properly verbalize how these tracks come together or from where. We are constantly sharing music with one another and feeding off of each other’s energy. We both share a strong sense of what this mix is and where we wanted to take it but neither of us know how to put that down on paper. Our process is very organic and stems purely from our adoration for sounds musical and otherwise. 

~If resources weren’t an issue, what is your biggest dream for Apt E, if you could make anything happen?

Funding a full production (carbon neutral) vinyl plant locally would be a priority, plus a handful of loft/gallery/warehouse art spaces locked down in Seattle would help ensure the underground a future here. If our resources truly were not an issue, the entire world would be a space that shares the same strength in community, equality, and expression as we do in our dedicated underground spaces. Until then we’re starting small and taking it one step at a time. 

~Any exciting things coming up Apt E or as individuals?

The vinyl for our third output, Apt E Vol 3, has finally been delivered. Hear it Nov 1st at apte.bandcamp.com :)

Faultlines E28 - wasp: nest of feathers

@8salamanda8 is a Seoul-based Leftfield Ambient music producer/DJ duo of @umantherma (Sala) and @yetsuby (Manda).

Salamanda believes every sound has beauty, and loves to collect and create music from field recordings of the world around them.

✱ What is the inspiration and vision behind Salamanda?
✴ We started Salamanda with a shared love for ambient, classical & leftfield music, and ever since, it has always been an outlet where we can be free from any rules or restrictions, and just have fun making most of our imaginations. Having fun is key to Salamanda, and we always look for things that make us captivated by fun and silly thoughts.

✱ Can you share a little bit about what you’ve included in this mix and/or your process?
✳ A story of hopes and dreams... and a sense of emptiness. We're delivering this story with some of our unreleased tracks, a track from our friend Joyul's recent release, and a gorgeous theremin piece called Oraison by our music guru O. Messiaen.

✱ What are some of your individual and collective utopian dreams?
✴ Sala: No border, no gender, no ethnicity, one love!
✴ Manda: A world where the strong give their full support for the weak.

Our Tomorrow feat. Salamanda (Seoul)

@pablodiserens is an artist, field recordist, composer, filmmaker and photographer based in Berlin (Germany) who engages with various topo- and phonographies with a wide range of visual and sonic recording techniques. 

✱ What is the inspiration and vision behind your music as Pablo Diserens?
My work is sparked by the world’s biomes and the non-human manifestations they shelter. With attentive and deep listening at the forefront of my practice, I navigate through environments mainly all ears and collect sounds through a plethora of recording techniques. I work with and share these sonic encounters with the aim of shifting people’s perspective and relationship with their surroundings and their neighbouring bio— and geologies. In other words, my work is an attempt at questioning and rethinking our place and caring for the globe’s habitats and communities.

✱What are some of your utopian dreams & musings?
My ideal utopia is one where interspecies kinship, caring and understanding are honoured. One where language isn’t only thought of as articulated speech, but instead understood as the numerous forms of communication, expression, and knowledge sharing that exist in the world’s ecologies. One where we listen to what moss, mollusks, insects, ice, and stones have to say. One where we pay attention. One where this language is punctuated and vitalized by possible hums.

✱ Can you share a little bit about what you’ve included in this mix?
In response to the dreamed utopia mentioned above, I’ve intertwined various animal, plant, and geological sonic manifestations with dronesque and electroacoustic gestures. Human speech makes a few appearances but either in honour of the stones or as purely deconstructed acoustic matter. It is animals, plants, and water that talk the most in this mix.

✱ Any forthcoming happenings for you in 2022 you'd like to share?
There are some exciting projects coming up this year. Some of them involve releases of electroacoustic pieces on A.V.A. and my label forms of minutiae, warm collaborations with loved ones, and if everything goes well the finalisation of my first short film since 2016.

Eco Version

Every signal the mind sends is a flicker, a gust of living lightning.
That's why the phrase social battery rings so true. Some of us
recharge in moments. Others take days. And some… never quite
hold a charge again. But what happens when a battery falters?
When the current surges, wild and uncontained? It burns.
It short-circuits. It collapses under its own voltage – a quiet
implosion of wires and will. Just like a person under too much
pressure, too much strain, too much power coursing through
a fragile frame. We don't fade gently – we flare. We burn out
in a blaze of emotion and exhaustion.
