Taken from Cyberian new album Dark Orphism, out May 4, 2021, via Amek Collective (@amekcollective)

“Shades of Grey” is the first single off “Dark Orphism” – Stefan Bachvarov’s second full-length for Bulgarian experimental music imprint Amek Collective and his first ever vinyl release. The music of Cyberian is a mixture of drifting electronic melancholia, meticulously textured and detailed percussion, and Bachvarov’s interests in paganism, nature, and the occult. 

Spanning over eight tracks, the album feels compact, straight forward but still moody and brooding. Certainly more beat-oriented and noisier than its predecessor “Limerence”, “Dark Orphism” hints at Bachvarov’s new musical explorations and findings but also feels like an emotional and logical continuation to his previous body of work.

Taken from WESQK COAST (@wesqkcoast) new album Clava, out October 29, 2021, via OOH-sounds (@ooh-sounds)

Read: https://bit.ly/3jwP2S4
Pre-order: https://bit.ly/3ntK8qn

Created through large interactions between heavily processed acoustic gear and electronic devices, Clava (Italian for club, mallet) delivers a range of emotions simultaneously tender and villainous.
Fragmented vocals, pointillist hints, abstract strumming, cascading percussion and pop mutations unfold within this eight tracker conceived as a personal take on alienation and vulnerability.

Wesqk ́s isolationist studio sessions escalated into a fiercely primal approach, leading the producer to the concept of an archaeofuturistic resistance in which subversion, provocation and irony function as tools for pricking small but palpable pinholes into the bias of rules, signs and symbols of musical genre so as to set up a possible—inclusive; yet un-named—sonic space.

Based on mental techniques, such as lucid dreams, semiotic squares, zen practices, sound manipulation, and a surgical use of language, the process of creation was freestyle, led by meditation and music therapy.

“...from a position of powerlessness, it is through the enforcement of mind as a clava that archaeofuture resistance is supposed to function as a practice against convenction and domestication... a low intensity exorcism for millenary hauntings”

Lover of powerful futuristic dancefloors and introspective music, @thehomeopathics started djing with @chineursdetoulouse in 2017. But he wasn’t entirely satisfied by this and felt an urge to make space for music outside of clubs. So in 2020, he and friends DJ Wrestling, Jan Loup and Humtsi created Aïra (@airatoulouse), the Promised Land of his spiritual father, H. P. Lovecraft - a space for musical sharing around the theme of dreams. Every month The Homeopathics present his show, 2042, which is dedicated to the future in music. Broadcast on Egregore radio :)

HYPERLINK MIX #13 w/ the homeopathics

Scavenging sounds from online and on-site detritus, citizen media, and militarised ads and technologies, Jessika Khazrik’s sonic scapes intimately investigate the techno-political premises of the military economies we inhabit or forget. 

Often born out of vocoded collaborations with recurrent neural networks skewed with hard-edged Arabic rhythms, Khazrik festively uses spaces of congregation—such as clubs, museums, her house, quarries, and the internet—to search for new, locally entrenched universalities that could collectively respond to the dystopias of our current time. 

Khazrik's interdisciplinary practice as artist, writer, technologist and DJ ranges from composition to machine learning, performance, visual art, ecotoxicology and history of science and music. She also composes the score of the GEOCINEMA project and often collaborates with artists and labels on album art and text. She has performed at CTM Festival, Ballroom Blitz, ALL, Museum of Modern Art Warsaw, Silent Green, Les Urbaines, HKW, Theater Der Welt, quarries, her house, secrets, among others. 

Khazrik often collaboratively works under the name of 'نادي شهود الزور / The Society of False Witnesses' and is currently the editor of the International Solidarity page at the 17teshreen monthly publication.

SYNAĒ 16 - Jessika Khazrik

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.

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.
