Excision After Love Collapses

FRKTL — Strange Attractors

For the fifth episode of our monthly show on @Ma3azef radio
Drowned By Locals 
Presents 
@PuceMary and @FRKTL
In a nebulous curation featuring a seamless blend of disparate genres across exclusive and consecutive sets by the artists

on Friday, Oct 9th, 2020
at 8 p.m. Amman time (GMT+3)‬

Puce Mary is Danish experimental and noise artist, best known for her piercing live performances and full-length releases on Copenhagen’s Posh Isolation and Berlin’s PAN Records. Debuting with several homemade cassettes of noise in the darkness to transmitting ideas and feelings through an increasingly complex musical vocabulary, Frederikke Hoffmeier represents a new era of industrial, noise and experimental music, taking a very thoughtful and emotional approach to the slow-evolving layers of distorted sound.

AND

From a series of skins worn by the British-Egyptian audiovisual artist, creative-computing designer, writer, producer and composer Sarah Badr, FRKTL is a classically trained multi-instrumentalist, subjecting her piano, violin and guitar to heavy levels of processing, utilizing live sampling and improvisation, vocal manipulation, field recordings and generative rhythms, composing and independently releasing immersive, hypnotic and haunting explorations of sound.

Drowned By Locals W/ PUCE MARY & FRKTL | Ma3azef Radio - [09.10.20]

For the seventh episode of our monthly show on @Ma3azef radio
Drowned By Locals 
Presents 
SALEM "PAPI" RASHID & CONSTANTINE SKOURLIS
in a @BedouinRecords takeover end-of-2020 special featuring a few worldwide exclusive tracks 
‬
Dec, Friday the 11th, 2020

With references to early techno, new wave and punk, @SalemRashid ’s work as a producer and performer binds post-industrial soundscapes with intricate overlapping rhythms. Relentless, saturated and self-sufficient, his sound tells of a looming future. Rashid is conceptual artist, composer, creative director and founder of Bedouin Records, an independent music, art, and fashion label he founded in 2014, based in Berlin, Dubai, Osaka and recently Bangkok, and its subsidiary Bastakiya Tapes. The label has released more than 30 albums, on vinyl, CD and cassette. Among its releases are works that have earned international acclaim from composers such as Merzbow, Pan Daijing, Tzusing, and Constantine Skourlis.

AND

@ConstantineSkourlis is a musician, composer and producer from Athens, Greece. Using an array of guitars, amplifiers, orchestral instruments, synthesizers, old tube radios and field recordings he blurs the boundaries of genres and draws inspiration from a wide range of musical influences such as death metal, classical minimalism, drone and baroque. Throughout his body of work, he scores the end of the world; from his debut album Hades, released on Bedouin Records and named after the Greek god of the underworld, to his scores for film and theatrical productions of epic tragedies like Don Quixote and Richard II. His latest and sophomore LP Eternal Recurrence, sees him pursue his vision towards even more ominous territories, delivering a cathartic release for the chaos that’s permeated throughout this year.

FRKTL Residency @ HKCR ⊰ Ep. 02 ⊱

Enshrouded in high-pitched static and elusive fumelike oscillators come "Sundowning", a new mini-album signed by Preston Weippert's most prolific alias, aka Volunteer Coroner. Co-founder of the Colorado-based Trust Collective label, Weippert's music vectors a collection of desolate murals often painted with industrial-grade fuel. A low-resolution picture of oil fields burning from your window seat. Closed eyelids against the sun, into the red.

“Loss as gain- forever in blood”

Recorded during the Summer of 2020

NTS Radio | Alien Jams w/ FRKTL

Featuring the Mycological Twist, MBJ and Hector Patch reading excerpts from Octavia E. Butler’s “Bloodchild and Other Stories” and “Lilith’s Brood”.
Sound design by Tom Richards.

—————— Description
A psilocybin tea reading invites embodied knowledge of mycelial infrastructures. The “Wood Wide Web” networks plants, fungi and other species for mutual benefit of the interconnected; thinking through it offers potential for psychic connections during social or ideological distancing. Observing how mycorrhizal webbings form networks to collectively thrive and survive, queers hierarchical worldmaking to manifest what Denise Ferreira da Silva words as “differences without separability”.
To decolonize reality as a given construct, the tea reading adopts the mind-altering paradigm of psilocybin - in physical and in transcendental sense. The psychoactive compound known as "magic mushrooms” has been used as medicine since pre-recorded history. Indigenous populations believe in its mystical properties as a psycho-spiritual conduit with an ability to manifest the human mind and induce connection with the cosmic. Clinical studies confirm psilocybin’s ability to aid mental health treatments through synaptic recalibration which dissolves a separate sense of self. Recent trends indicate microdosing psychedelics as a widely spread movement, especially popular with the tech start-up industry.
Using psychoactive rootscapes as metaphors, fantasies and hallucinations, the act of lucid dreaming involves science fiction by Octavia E. Butler. Opening portals of awareness to release the rational, we are rewiring the collective unconscious to reimagine a new kind of normal.

The ‘Self Optimization’ series considers biopolitical underpinnings of productivity strive. Previous iterations have engaged contributors from the fields of behavioural economics, AI/ neuroscience and devotional practices, where the participatory formats introduced concept metaphors through raindrop cake and yin practice among others.

Club Matryoshka and CTM came together for CTM's 22nd festival edition to revisit the Alpha Lebbeus world, 40 years after we first explored the expansive planet together. With this follow-up collaboration, Club Matryoshka expanded on this unique Minecraft world, together with a story-based gameplay narrative co-developed with artist collective Children of Cyberspace. The six-hour journey was soundtracked by live and DJ sets created by a diverse group of emerging artists from around the globe, curated in a collaborative spirit by Club Matryoshka and CTM.

Founded in 2019, Club Matryoshka is an international virtual venue, home and safe haven to underground and unorthodox music mutants. Based in the Philippines and built in Minecraft, Club Matryoshka was founded and developed by a community of gamers, artists, and musicians. similarobjects, dot.jaime, cavill, ahju$$i, JohnPope, and Maengo69 felt a lack of freedom and acceptance in club scenes, both in Manila and abroad, and sought alternative avenues for sharing their work and finding community. The club opened in July 2019, barely a year before COVID-19 would bring in-person events and nightlife to a halt.

Taken from Deadhand 12" new EP Meanwhile, out on @seagrave-3.

Read: http://bit.ly/2NiuTSO
Order digital and pre-order vinyl: http://bit.ly/3d7bHlO

Debut release for The Fear Ratio's Mark Broom and James Ruskin under their 'Deadhand' alias, which proceeds on a strictly experimental hip-hop tip, accompanied as they are here by 4 x world scratch champion DJ Prime Cuts (of The Scratch Perverts) and illbient rap legend Sensational, who brings his characteristic broken charm to the EP's itchy, spartan production vibes: "Step into my office, now we sparkin' it... I spit the isms in yer ear... you better recognise it's raw shit from orbit."

This pairing with Sens makes total sense: Distinct from Mark and James' work as The Fear Ratio, their Deadhand project delivers something closer to 90s illbient in any case: extending the boom-bap era of hip-hop production with elements of hallucinogenic dystopianism, the energy of the EP nevertheless vibes playfully: Given the dispiriting global situation at present, the EP title 'Meanwhile' might simply refer to getting on with things in spite of all the cultural and political misendeavor the era will no doubt be long remembered for. Despite the global health pandemic and the looming spectre of wide-scale environmental collapse, little despair or surrender prevails here, but rather a hankering to attempt a few tripped-out experiments.

Three remixes bring further twists of the screw: A cosmic break flex from ETCH resituates Sensational amidst the magmic glow of Reaktor bass ensembles, while DJ Prime Cuts repurposes 7" soul gold by way of a more 'traditional' SP1200 approach. 90s trip-hop pioneer and graffiti legend REQ steps up with all the painterly flair he is rightly renowned for, obliterating the Monster Orchestra's classic 'I Can't Stop' stab towards a double dose of galactic melancholia.

Spaces of Faux Intimacies is the first part of a series of interventions unfolding over a year, exploring intimacy in the wake of socially distanced capitalism, digital technologies and the pandemic. 

Today’s neoliberal, hyper-connected society, has capitalised the very notion of intimacy. Screened semblances of emotional abundance are promised to us within only a few swipes away while corporate conglomerates are profiting from our desire for physical and emotional connections. As the pandemic and the accompanying social distancing measures are driving us even further apart, and amid the already existing turbulence around the world, how can we work together to produce new channels of care, social resilience, and affective solidarity? 

"Spaces of faux intimacies" brings together artists of various disciplines to contribute to the discussion with individually commissioned auditory works.

Curated by Katerina Gnafaki for Centrum

The exhibition is part of the Vorspiel program of the CTM and transmediale festival 2021 and made possible with the generous support of Musikfonds, by means of the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.
