“Every time I create an experimental / ambient / free-style mix, I get quite emotional. It’s different from making a club-oriented techno mix during which I usually feel joyful and energetic. The journey between ambient sounds, slow beats,  tender rhythmic structures and harsh, fast and dark tunes seems to expose the different layers of emotions I got inside me. They all exist at once, I think, but often hidden beneath each other. In the mix, though, it feels like I can unfold them over time. There’s serenity, darkness, strength, desire, anger, love.”

“Somewhere someone is traveling furiously toward you,
At incredible speed, traveling day and night,
Through blizzards and desert heat, across torrents,
through narrow passes.
But will he know where to find you,
Recognize you when he sees you,
Give you the thing he has for you?”

Sound’s ability to touch the listener, to involve them via emotional and physical affection, turns the sonic into a partner in the fight for a more just world. Sonic Agency is led by urgency and the pressing need for articulation. It is an effort to enable and reinforce transformative processes in our societies, while critically questioning hegemonic systems. Sonic Agency opens up space for a caring community of equals.

While humanity is at stake, and our values are on trial, in moments of despair, rage and endless grief, acts of solidarity are needed more than ever. The events that shake Palestine and Israel are resulting in an ever-tighter spiral of violence and desperation. They are a horrific wake-up call that brutally brings the precarious situation on our planet to the fore. The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, and Israel’s collective punishment of Palestinian civilians are intolerable. On top of that, the military actions threaten the lives of the remaining hostages in the Gaza-Strip, and even more innocent people in Gaza.

SONIC AGENCY - AHO SSAN - "EBi (Patch Improvisation)"

Random Web Dump Mix:

This mix reflects the use of the online world and social media and what’s currently happening in the world. It mimics the experience of scrolling thru reels and other content and getting bombarded with all kinds of emotions in a short period of time. It gets you excited and brings feelings of joy, wonder, nostalgia, perplexity and sometimes discomfort.

The Random Web Dump Mix consist mostly of music and content that the internet has thrown at me but also some live recorded instagram scrolling. (That is what was probably the most influential part, music wise for me at the beginning of the year 2024.)

SONIC AGENCY - IDKLANG - "Snapping Fingers Into The Void"

ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴀʀᴛɪꜱᴛ

As a DJ, Producer & Artist from Kampala, Uganda, Authentically Plastic’s sound is necessarily political. Between 2018-2023, they ran a roving, riotous, club night called ANTI-MASS; which opened up space for femme & queer artists in Uganda’s increasing- ly repressive social climate. Risk-taking in this political environment has shaped Authentically Plastic’s sound, which has an accelerated, densely layered, improvisational feel. Their fiery debut album, Raw Space, was released in September 2022, receiving critical acclaim for its fresh urgency and prismatic unpredictability.

Authentically Plastic’s sets, at once dark & playful, harbor this same propulsive energy, using Gqom, Noise & Techno as a base for exploring other unknown sounds. Their music is influenced by Northern Ugandan (acholi electronic) rhythms, early acid/industrial experiments, and Afro-futurism.

SONIC AGENCY - AUTHENTICALLY PLASTIC - "Cosmic Swamp"

"Như thế nào" is an audio collage exploring the intersection of the daily mundane and unseen oppressions. It is composed of street phone recordings, past demos and internet wormholes. 
Raw and chaotic at its core, it showcases research and exploration rather than a completed form. 
The piece opens with an excerpt from “40 years of solitude” a documentary by Sana El Younoussi tackling Moroccan families stranded in Vietnam since their fathers defected from the French Army in 1953.

Anh Phi was born to Vietnamese refugees in the suburbs of Paris, journeyed back to Saigon to reconnect with his roots, lived in Shanghai, and recently found his way to Berlin. 
His practices explore nonlinear times with cinematic and ritualistic approaches.
His sounds convey multilayered metropolises, plot twists and cliffhangers, primal tribal feels, and global borderless club mutations.

As we have always dealt with sound as a political category, our activism is based on listening and focuses on the revolutionary potential that is inherent in the sonic. Under the banner of Sonic Agency we want to enforce a sonic activism of opposition and resistance. The artists involved are advocating for social and political transformation. Their sounds lend themselves to global emancipatory struggles, and fights for freedom and equality. The featured sounds aren’t complicit in the silence that surrounds us. They are furious, desperate, crying, paralysed, compassionate and rebellious like us. There is a message in sound that cannot be negated.

Listening is not neutral.
Listening shapes the reality we live in.
Listening is shaped by ethics and politics and leads back to it.

Listening shapes the reality we live in.
Listening is shaped by ethics and politics and leads back to it.
Listening is directly linked to memory and identity.

SONIC AGENCY - TATI AU MIEL-  "Interpreting Wind, Strings and Noise"

He plows the earth, Sows a seed within, From which a tree shall grow, Yielding fruit of blood. ripe fruit of blood , Blood that spills, At the feet of the forest trees, Becoming a seed in the root of a tree, That becomes a tree, A tree indeed.

Those who cut the tree, And make it depart, The irons that dry the tree, So no tree  can stand side by side.
They make the headlines out of the tree’s image.
To loudly spread in the forest, That a dried tree has been found in the distance.

Trees grow, Even on concrete lands, Though tough, And they bear fruit, Though it is blood.

…being together, in community

As we have always dealt with sound as a political category, our activism is based on listening and focuses on the revolutionary potential that is inherent in the sonic. Under the banner of Sonic Agency we want to enforce a sonic activism of opposition and resistance. The artists involved are advocating for social and political transformation. Their sounds lend themselves to global emancipatory struggles, and fights for freedom and equality. The featured sounds aren’t complicit in the silence that surrounds us. They are furious, desperate, crying, paralysed, compassionate and rebellious like us. There is a message in sound that cannot be negated.

Listening is not neutral.
Listening shapes the reality we live in.
Listening is shaped by ethics and politics and leads back to it.
Listening is directly linked to memory and identity.

SI104 - ECHION

Having a Libyan mother and a Syrian father, Bader spent his youth between Benghazi & Damascus. He grew up listening to Libyan Tagaza Majrouda rhythms and Syrian classical music. His brother DJ Khalil was one of the pioneers in the MENA region who fused his musical heritage with hip hop beats. When Bader moved to Belgium he studied photography and became a videographer and visual artist, working for numerous artists & brands. He started curating Yalla World wide events in Ghent; bringing the cream of the crop of the alternative MENA music scene to Belgium. At the same time Bader started dj’ing and producing music with Yalla Soundsystem together with his colleague Acid Ponch. His sound can be described as a symbiose between east and west: bass heavy patterns merge with his own musical heritage from the MENA region. One thing’s for sure: Bader kills dancefloors without any compromise. Yalla Soundsystem has a residency and hosts a monthly radio show on the Paris based channel Radio Flouka.

SI020 - SANSIBAR

DIE VERPUPPUNG DER WELT / RAUPENBAHNEN
Ego cogito ergo sum … um dieses cartesianische Idee des Seins herum, beginnt das Projekt der Selbstumdeutung – in der Mensch-Maschine zerfällt die Einheit von Körper und Geist. Indem das Denken mit dem ihm eigenen Solipsismus, von nun an seinen angehängten Körper als Environment zu betrachten sucht, wird dem Cogitatio sein Körper zum Gegenstand. Dieser, mit zunehmendem Alter ohnehin eher Ort der Leiden und mit allerlei Zumutungen verbundenes Ding, sollte sich von nun an in Maschinen beschreiben lassen. Es steht zunächst zur Disposition, was am Horizont zunehmend in der Mechanik von Hebeln, Ketten, Gelenken, Rädern, Federn usw. aufgeht, mit denen das Cogitatio seine Einrichtung, hinsichtlich einer nicht mehr fernen Moderne vorantreibt: „For the spirit is ready, but the flesh is sick,“(Wycliff / Mat. 26:41)

In der folgenden, industriellen Revolution, ist bereits das zweite Projekt dieser Selbstumdeutung angelegt, das sich – nach und nach – auf das Exo cogito ausdehnt, nachdem man ergo, nach wie vor am Sein der Körper scheitert. In diesen blähen sich die „Leichname“ und „Gliedermaschinen“, wie Descartes die menschlichen Körper in Traité de l’ homme* nennt, zu Luftschiffen auf, die eher im Ausnahmefall mit Major Tom in der Schwerelosigkeit verschwinden, häufiger jedoch wie der Yefim im Prolog zu Tarkovskys Andrei Rublev, mit ihrem Ballon gleich hinter dem nächsten Kirchturm landen. Seine Ergriffenheit angesichts des neu gewonnenen Überblicks, befördert den Absturz noch ehe der Film richtig begonnen hat. Bedarf es also einer weiteren Wendung im Hinblick auf die ausser Kontrolle geratenen Geister? Wo bleibt der Deus Ex Machina? Noch unsichtbar, wartet er in den Schnürböden unter der Bühne. Denn auch das Denken ist sich selbst längst Gegenstand geworden.  AI AI Sir – yes; even so.
