For this second release Soleil Rouge focuses its attention on Jonnnah, one of the key artists since the creation of the project. After a versatile first release on Worst, the artist continues his creative process in the same line. The sequence of atmospheres and landscapes on this album was conceived as a journey into the psyche, more specifically as an analysis of the depressive state and the healing process. Jonnnah recreates familiar feelings and memories and writes an abstract story to allow the listener to interpret. 

"Terra Incognita" introduces us through a phase of doubt and leads to a loss of orientation, then the feeling of anxiety is explored before arriving at "Sounds of Silence" where energies are transformed, the following landscapes allow a slow reconstruction to close this metaphorical journey with "Enter Paradise". “Poppy's Star” was co-produced with French artist Tryphème, whose work was a source of inspiration in the creation of Jonnnah's universe. The fusion of their sound results in a sentimental 80’s pop atmosphere, that is characterized by heavenly sounding delay processing as well as the melancholic voice of Trypheme. Throughout the quarantine, the artist and his father (also a musician) set up a daily artistic ritual in order to use this interlude to promote their common artistic creation, from this sharing was born the track “Young Man, Old Boy”. 
This album takes us through interludes of gritty noise, melancholic pop, avant-garde experimental music and powerful bass music. The artist treats each of these sounds with the same ethereal and melancholic layer creating a link between the atmospheres of his narrative.

This album marks the birth of the Jonnnah artistic entity, right down to the creation of a physical appearance conceived in collaboration with designer William Mora. The two artists worked together to create a series of masks that draw on intimate visuals from the history and culture of Jonnnah. The various masks were conceived as ritualistic costumes for the upcoming performances, participating in the creation of an alter ego between mysticism and chivalry.

Jonnnah & Apple Bun • Young Man, Old Boy

In 2020 the first release in guides, a new publishing initiative set up by outlines owner Pawel "Paide" Dunajko, was released. guides is intended to be a label less burdened by formal requirements but - like outlines - still trying to present the most interesting and innovative music at 160 bpm.
 
The second tape in the guides catalogue is the result of a collaboration with Japanese producer otomoni. The Tokyo-based sound artist owns the Minzoku Tapes label, where his original productions have mainly been released.

otomoni's "super u" tape consists of nine tracks for which Chicago footwork is the starting point. However, the Japanese producer creates his own individual version of this genre, using such compositional techniques as sound design, field recording and musique concrete. otomoni's sound palette is extremely rich and characterised by a multitude of details. The rhythmic layer is non-obvious, driven by a microcosm of sound particles and melodies.
 
The very beginning of the release ("mizurizu") presents before us evocative images of some undiscovered anime world, in which a delicate impressionistic narrative merges in the finale with noise blurring details. "hanoi" relieves this moment of tension with a melodic intro that, after a while, launches into a footwork groove. "kenka" is a sweet miniature with echoes of reggaeton rhythm. Finishing the A side of the cassette "misago" is a futuristic minimal footwork set on an ear-piercing synthetic sound, around which surprising noises are lit up.

In the opening B-side title track "super u" otomoni continues to create his sound world. It's transformed vocal samples, expressive and juicy rhythmics, on the background of which unexpectedly appears the sour sound of Roland's 303. "ooree" takes the listener to a different, but equally surprising corner of otomoni's world full of plasticity and colours. In "amenoi" the listener lands in the middle of a jungle of sounds creating an unreal scaffolding for an alternative reality. From its very beginning "mikudro" fits into the narration started in "amenoi", but it tries to burst this created structure with a vibrating stroboscope of sounds. Seemingly chaotic percussions create a new physics of music. The album's closing "akumu" begins with a vast looped drone, against which ritual simple vocalizations are sung. After a while the drone and the voice are joined by other sounds of a new world coming to life.

otomoni's music has an extraordinary gift for illustrating alternative realities. However, this does not happen with a flourish, pathos or overload of meanings. The sounds he uses are characterised by subtlety and minimalism of expression. It is an autonomous and living world. Footwork in its basic form is a musical genre which is supposed to accompany the movements of dancers competing with each other. otomoni's Footwork is music detached from this tradition, but using the components of this genre to create a completely new reality.

MB Jones - Under Surveillance

For our second mix we are thrilled to host a piece by Zero Crossing Point, each track has been produced for this occasion, he shared a text with us to explain his process:

"Trying to always be your ideal self can be tiring and cost a lot of energy, wasted in this endless quest. Sometimes you have to accept who you are and listen to your intuition. Being more affirmative in life, accepting your emotions, your doubts, and sharing them with those closest to you will often lead to different outcomes than you would have anticipated.

Creating alone makes it easy to get caught up in overthinking. It can make it hard to accomplish or complete anything, and may even cause you to pass up opportunities that would have been good for you in the long run.

In that regard, the tracks in this mix were created under a limited timeframe (between 20 minutes and 2 hours at most), within a period of about two weeks. Additionally, about half of the music was created without the use of a grid, recorded straight on the keyboard, or put together on the timeline in an intuitive manner. Any idea that was not working right out of the box was quickly discarded to give room to something that inspired me the most.

This process helped me to let go of some of the negative thoughts during the creative process, and focus on what was most important "

EX002 - ZERO CROSSING POINT

Feedback Moves kicks off 2023 with a new record by @xcrswx and Lolina. @xcrswx are Crystabel Riley (drum-/human-skin) and Seymour Wright (saxophone), they released ‘Call Time/Hard Out’ on Feedback Moves in 2020. Lolina is an electronic and digital musician, who has previously released music as Inga Copeland and was a member of the band Hype Williams. 

Their collaborative relationship stems back to 2020. Lolina invited @xcrswx to contribute new work to a radio residency on NTS. They made 3 pieces played across 3 episodes. After these were broadcast, further ideas were exchanged which led to a collaborative audio-visual piece, streamed on Cafe Oto’s website in February 2021. They also performed as a trio live at Café OTO in 2022.

The artists now present a split 10” vinyl. @xcrswx weave the above-mentioned pieces into a 10 minute piece titled ‘FIXES’. The duo strip their sound to bare components. Beginning with the sound of fireworks, the pair then work through stuttered snare shots and warbled, interplaying saxophone.

Lolina presents ‘FM’; some of her strangest and most subtle work to date. Echoing and furthering the abstract turntablism found on previous records ‘Who Is Experimental Music?’ and ‘Fast Fashion’. We hear found sounds, close and distant, rhythmically gathered and dissolved in a swirl of dub tone and timbre.

Lolina & @xcrswx

The music of Naarm/Melbourne composer Lisa Lerkenfeldt channels a unique wavelength of foreboding, interstitial electronics, incorporating strategies of musique concréte threaded with veiled currents of melody and hypnosis. Recent recordings for Vienna Press, Longform Editions and Aught Void have demonstrated different depths of process and finesse but her latest, Collagen, captures perhaps the most complete and complex manifestation of her craft to date.

Drawing on a disciplined palette of peach wood combs, contact microphones, piano, strings, and feedback, the album moves in low, looming arcs, ascending to strange purgatories of opaque atmosphere. Lerkenfeldt cites a core aspiration to “elevate the everyday,” transforming common objects into otherworldly sound sources, which colors Collagen with a beguiling tactility, like vibrations traced in sand. The tracks shift in frequency and feeling, alternately heady and bodily, acoustic and synthetic, isolated states of static, light, and undertow skirting the outer rings of ambient, noise, and modern composition.

Although each piece exists in its own rare air the composite panorama they present is striking in its sweep...  more

Atrice consists of Lino Schilling and Pablo Chacon-Pino, two sound designers and artists from Zurich. As part of the MIRAS collective, they curate events for contemporary club music and build a platform to support young and upcoming artists. 
Their musical work is inspired by encounters of the everyday and by digital sensory overload. They create acousmatic, electroacoustic, ambient hybrids with influences from western pop culture.

"Akus i." is characterised by a variety of different sonic textures, organic transitions in between and through floating states. With minimal movements, it leads the focus of the listener’s attention astray.
