From the Psychic Liberation vaults comes a pairing of sonic material from artists LXV and Glyn Maier. Having originally been planned for respective 7” releases, the pairing of these modernist technological psychedelia recordings revealed themselves to sit beautifully together. 

Lxv is the most prolific alias of David Sutton, a sound arranger from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He also records under the monikers Heaven Copy, Temporal Movement, as well as his full name, David Wesley Sutton. Glyn Maier is a sound artist and field recordist living in the Unorganized Territory of South Oxford, Maine. A longtime fixture of East Coast underground circuits, Maier has performed and recorded under various aliases, most recently as Lack. Maier currently runs nature friendly label Enmossed.

Sutton notes of the A side material “The two recordings which appear on this side were created using pure data and a Roland SP808EX. They come to you from the distant year 2015. At this time I was very interested in exploring irregular modes of rhythm and constructions of motion in a digital audio environment. I sought to emulate the wavering state between tech-infused dysphoria and transcendent euphoria -through creating a pathway to irregular groove excavation in the disjointed wriggles of adverse movements, tangled up, like a tornado blasting through a junkyard and assembling a pc, but not quite.”

On the flip side of the record, ‘Memoria' and 'Gŵyl' were recorded in late summer 2017 following the passing of Maier’s grandmother. “I built them using sounds coaxed from her collection of wooden shakers and metallic windchimes. Further processing and arrangement were done with an Arp 2600 synthesizer and a handful of analog effects units. A final touch was provided by Brood X cicadas that I recorded in her backyard. Predicted to emerge in 2021, a small cohort awakened early and sang through the sweltering evenings my family and I spent sifting through her belongings - a lifetime of materialized memories.

The 12” comes in an edition of 150 hand stamped copies, in yellow disco jacket and poly sleeve.

The 94th contribution to our GUESTMIXES series is presented by Acacia Ojea aka AKAZIE, a multimedia artist and DJ born and based in the northwest of Spain. Her activity as a music selector is mostly focused on the post-club scene, with a great interest in discourses close to deconstructed and experimental electronic music. In particular, her mixes harbor a sonic spectrum full of musical nuances with special attention to rhythmic and digital timbre exploration and percussive electronic music,  with hints of the sounds that inhabit or border the piece of land designated as the Iberian Peninsula. So far, her mixes appeared on radio stations such as Offline Meeting Point (Barcelona), Internet Public Radio (México), and Ma3azef.

With a fine arts education and music training in classical piano and traditional Galician percussion, she developed her interest in sonic arts and expanded her studies in electroacoustics and digital audio synthesis while investigating different approaches to sound production and listening practices. Her background has given her the chance to consider the sonic environment a latent stimulus within her processes of assimilation, creation, and artistic research, while also bringing her to value sound as the primary medium to understand and access the world. Over the recent years, her sonic interventions and performance have been hosted by art centers such as Contemporary Art Fair Art Madrid, Centro de Arte Sonoro de Buenos Aires, and Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Vigo in Spain, as well as music festivals among which figure Dantz (Donostia), MMMAD (Madrid), and Sinsal (Galicia).

Today's piece is a 35-minute mixtape featuring cutting-edge tracks crafting a sound journey in the field of contemporary club and experimental, bursting digital electronics. Push the button!

Outback - Pillow Case

Honour - Àlááfíà
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 121
Release Date: 03 November 2023
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/Alaafia

Honour’s debut album is a ligament stretching from Lagos to London and to New York, curling across the diaspora and brushing the darker hues of blues, hip-hop, free jazz, ambient, gospel with Christian mythology and Yoruba folklore. As cinematic as it is painterly, Àlááfíà is a meditation on themes of life, death and love that pulls inspiration from the unexpected poetic profundity of casual conversations, field recordings, literature, ephemera, or personal archives. The result is an impressionistic vision in Black and Blur that both exhausts and implicates language—substantiating a mythos proposed by Fred Moten that sublimates boundaries between everywhere and nowhere; history and the present; the individual and the universal.

Àlááfíà delineates a gothic landscape cut by overdriven beats, swooping orchestral blasts, choral bursts and ear- splitting fuzz, where the fleshly and spiritual realms commune. Dedicated to Honour's late grandmother, the title track began to take form after their last embrace and remains steeped in her influence and spirit—a tape-saturated composition that starts in Lagos and ends in London's smoke-stained cityscape, the song’s dream-like quality developed out of the artist’s grief and PTSD coping with this loss. Beneath the stretched guitar drones and stuttering loops, their grandmother's shared faith bubbles to the surface.

“When Angels Speak of Love,” borrows its title from two works by Sun Ra and bell hooks, respectively. Sculpting echoes of praise music into disorienting spirals perforated with syrupy DJ Screw-inspired breaks and sharp splinters of melancholic guitar, “When Angels Speak of Love” engages a conceptual dialogue with the spirits of both late thinkers, folding them into Honour’s pantheon of ancestral guides. The album’s ninth track, “Giz Aard ($uckets),” is a dirge of regimented drums which anchor this somber melody as it whirls into a blizzard of heartache, uncertain if its consequence will be death or eternal joy.

The album’s sole lyrical offering, “Pistol Poem (Lead Belly),” begins with a darkly humorous bar, “He went thru hell and back/ came back/ 2 get the strap,” that swells into a haunting allegory based on the life of Philip “Hot Sauce” Champion. A modern take on the Blues, Honour’s lyrics reify the artist’s status as a student of both literature and popular culture, crossbreeding the artist’s clever wordplay with additional references to Richard Pryor, Robert Johnson, Kelly Rowland & Bryon Gysin.

Setting core principles of hip-hop, R&B, jazz and gospel music to atemporal soundscapes and compositions, Honour crafts a record that marinates in its own knotty contradictions. The ghosts that sit on the artist’s shoulders have never been more tangible than with this emotive debut.

Radio Fantasia – VA – Don’t stop talking about Palestine.

Listen to full version, buy and support people of Gaza https://radiofantasia.bandcamp.com/album/don-t-stop-talking-about-palestine

As we near the end of 2023, we feel exhaustion from wars, exiles, ecological catastrophes, censorships, unstable economic situations we find ourselves and our dissolving bodies. In all that the only thing that keeps us hopers is seeing you guys act, listening to all the strong supportive voices, talking about things that can be dangerous to speak up about, as we see numerous examples of censorship for standing up for your beliefs. 

This compilation brings together 18 musicians to continue the conversation about Palestine, calling for a ceasefire and an end to the occupation, and donating their tracks to support the people in Gaza.

All donations raised from this compilation will be sent to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP), an organization prioritizing the health of Palestinians living under occupation and as refugees. They provide immediate medical aid to those in need and work to develop local capacity and skills for the long-term development of the Palestinian healthcare system.

Let's not allow the darkness to consume us. Let's continue to raise our voices, support each other, and take action.

We want to thank all the artists and design team for such a work and spreading their sonic acts, words and thoughts.

The link to the compilation will be pinned in the highlights and in the profile bio.

🌿 ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ꜱᴏɴɪᴄ ᴀɢᴇɴᴄʏ

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.
Listening is as important as speaking.
Listening is an active act.
