DJ Pitch - It Never Goes

Erwan Sene  - JUnQ
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 131
Release Date: 14 April 2023
Purchase: PAN.lnk.to/JUnQ

JUnQ, or the Journal of Unsolved Questions, is modeled on a parallel exercise: to sketch music and to score sculptures. Part exhibition, part book and part album release, JUnQ seeks to propose a collaborative language that binds the algorithmic needs of an artificial pop star to the performance of the artist himself. Boundaries between reality and artifice are blurred in a continuous chain of confrontation and sublimation, wherein a romance between analog evolution and digital experimentation is born.

The immersive project released by PAN represents Erwan Sene’s debut album and the multifaceted nature of his approach. Composed like a chorus of fantastical beasts, the album wanders atmospherically through a fogged wood. Sounds are never used for their default function–– they are sculpted, distorted and amplified, becoming hybrids of themselves. A haunting banshee, the monstrous growl of an Orc, Siren songs wafting through the trees–– these and more are recreated with sinuous violins, muffled harpsichord and digital instruments, culminating in a a vibrant “jungle” of sound.

Mixed by James Ginzburg
Mastered by Rashad Becker

PREMIERE: Guenter Råler - Extended Vulnerability (76666)

Live session — TTristana

Cette semaine, schisme.s vous invite à découvrir le répertoire singulier d’ @amselysen (aka Hakeem Lapointe), qui fait écho à sa propre musique à travers celle d’une trentaine de morceaux. Relatif nouveau venu sur la scène montréalaise, il se distingue rapidement par sa signature sonore: morceaux courts et directs, production soit robuste ou douce mais toujours angulaire et accompagnement sporadique de voix rigoureusement stridentes. C’est cette vision bien articulée qui se révèle sur ses deux albums sur la défunte étiquette @genotcentre ainsi qu’un EP sur Dream Disk Lab, mais ça pourrait également très bien décrire sa sélection.

Liste de diffusion sur Instagram (schizo_cism)

Design graphique: Geneviève L Richard
Programmation et mastering: @julienracine

On remet ça vendredi minuit sur les ondes de @cism-89-3-fm. En ligne mardi matin 4h.
