Chordal Mixtures Remix 5 Nov 2023

Are your attachments secure? Are you disabled? Have you ever lost your mind? Is there a link between Being, becoming, experience, & location? Are all spaces places? Could one be at ‘home’, & yet ‘out of place’? Does your place give you too much identity? Must actors be models? Is your help a part of your family? Are you able to put yourself in another’s shoes? How do actors / writers / psychotherapists do this? Are you comfortable as yourself in an artificial situation – i.e., can you play yourself? Is lived experience the only vantage point? Are experiences ever pre-discursive? Is there an intactness within you? How do constructivists think of psychopaths? How can an actor prepare to play a dictator? Can entire societies get authoritarian? Have you experienced evil parts of yourself? Is a person on a mechanized wheelchair (necessarily) looking for empathy? Could migrant domestic workers seek privacy in public spaces? Why might imagining another on our own terms be dangerous? Does cattle grid also keep certain humans out? &, might the conception of the human itself (from only able-bodied, & in-reason) change in the future? SynTalk thinks about these & more questions using ideas from psychology (Prof. Rachana Johri, ex-Ambedkar University, New Delhi), film-making (Prof. Mazhar Kamran, IIT Bombay, Bombay), & disability studies (Dr. Bindhulakshmi Pattadath, TISS, Mumbai).

Rawdecks - Spatial Fragmentation (Original Mix) [TRM321]

fragmentation

Euphoria on the edge of overload.

"Burning Happy" is the sound of intensity spiraling out of control, a rush of energy, too much movement, too much weight, too much fire. The lyrics dance between exhilaration and exhaustion, between pure electricity and the slow realization that the flames might consume everything. It’s a track about transformation, fragmentation, and the dangerous pull of excess.

With pulsing synthwave, electro-rock, and experimental electronica, the song channels a raw, hypnotic energy reminiscent of Depeche Mode, Moderat, and Thom Yorke. The groove is relentless, the beat urgent, like a mind racing at full speed, impossible to stop, impossible to breathe.

For those who know what it feels like to burn too bright, too fast.

Turn it up. Let it consume you.

Burning Happy

The piece "15 momente für wk" (15 moments for wk), written in 2023 in response to the unexpected, much too early and heavy loss of a great friend, Werner Korn, is a collection of 15 brief fragments. It - allegedly - encompasses a wide range of different musical ideas, "eras", and styles, so as to pay reverence to someone who really loved and was able to enjoy a vast area of musical expression. The piece was written for a memorial concert, and it is that, but it is also a sort of spiritual greeting to - well, to whatever you wish to imagine at this point: the "beyond"?, the "afterlife"? or just a hole in the ground?

Either way, it is dedicated to the memory of Werner, who lives on in our thoughts, hearts, souls and our very being, doing what we can to make more interesting music.

This performance took place on May 13th, 2025, at Arnold Schönberg Center Vienna, in a project by the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (MDW), the Forum Neue Musik. The performer here is Jure Goručan, a silent / gestural moment in the piece was taken out due to irrelevance in the audio format. I hope you enjoy it!

sliver is an exploration of radical reduction, built from a single basic idea: a smooth glissando between two tones. yet this glissando never truly appears; it is fragmented from the very beginning, leaving the listener’s mind to imagine a continuity that only exists as residue and implication.



the piece unfolds in two contrasting worlds. the first is dry, tactile, and close to the instrument’s surface, shaped through frictional textures with a plastic card. material is precise, physical, and fragmented, with no sustained resonance. at the structural axis, a threshold opens, and the second world emerges: spacious, reverberant, dreamlike. for the first time, tones are allowed to breathe and expand, creating the sensation of drifting away from the physical into a more suspended state.



occasionally, short intrusions from the first world attempt to pull the music back to its original ground. gradually, these attempts lose force, and the dreamlike realm absorbs everything, until orientation dissolves and the piece fades into quiet, irreversible oblivion.

Hunika is a silhouette dancing in the neon shadows, a voice whispering to the rebels. A solo project born from cold rage and burning lucidity, it composes the soundtrack of a world on the edge, oscillating between introspection and subversion.

Its universe, deeply electronic, fuses the dark textures of trip-hop, the hypnosis of downtempo, and the raw impact of electro-rock. One foot in contemplation, the other in protest, Hunika digs beneath the surface, dismantling the illusions of consumer society and the absurdities of politics with surgical precision.

Inspired by literature, art in all its forms, and a reimagined ‘68 mindset, Hunika does not preach—it unveils. Each track is a crack in the façade, an invitation to see differently, to feel differently. It is a sonic journey where aesthetics meet awakening, where mystery embraces rebellion.

Hunika does not create to please. It creates for those who want to listen differently.

I am a Vienna-based composer, improviser and musician. Mostly contemporary / new music, with an emphasis on socials space(s) and agencies emerging from artistic practice. Maybe consequently, I am also very interested in making music and sound for theatre and/or theatrical pieces, or other ways of working with music and sound beyond the finite space of concert practice.

Thousand years have passed and my memories come back, it was the time of knight of the fortresses and minstrels" from the future we change the past Artificial Intelligences kills the creative souls of humanity  " HERE NO AI " "MUSIQUE COSMOLOGIQUE". Experimental improvisation laboratory since 2007 "Cosmosonic Music"  Art finds its strength in repression and constraints"  SOUND CREATION.  Original electronic keyboard, continuous creative activity  "Uzeste  New Aquitaine FRANCE"...  Nous vaincrons ensemble le doute, tous nos fantômes de mort et de peur n'y pourront rien, nous sommes chevaliers de la Terre et chevauchons les mondes imbriqués l'un dans l'autre.
D'un univers sans fin à un monde solide, d'une cage de feu à un nuage heureux, le passage étroit jouxte la lumière de la nuit obscure. Force de renoncement à tout, espace intime et infime de la vie.
La musique est lumière dans les ténèbres, tout est vibration, la fin est mot ou le nom d'une porte, même les murs de la plus dure des pierres sont des voiles légers pour l'âme sur l'étincelle de vie. "original sound paintings " .We shall overcome together the doubt, all our ghosts of death and fear will do nothing there, we are knights of the Earth and are astride the imbricated worlds one in the other.
Of an endless universe to a solid world, a cage of fire in a happy cloud, the narrow passage adjoins the light of the dark night. Strength of renunciation of everything, intimate and tiny space of the life.
The music is light in the darkness, everything is vibration, the end is word or the name of a door, even the walls of the hardest some stones are veil light for the soul on the spark of life..  
"Thanks to the Earth and the Nature for all their benefactions " see you soon, I wait for you, I am your consciousness, I am the happy being, the one who grows and forms in the wet clay of infinite times, in the wind of the storms where the grace of the thick spell of the blue waves carries the brightness. "  " remerciements à la Terre et la Nature pour tout leurs bienfaits "A bientôt, je vous attends, je suis votre conscience, je suis l’être heureux, celui qui pousse et germe dans la glaise humide des temps infinis, dans le vent des tempêtes où la grâce de l’épais sortilège des vagues bleues porte la clarté."
