South-east Turkey-born DJ sound artist and producer, Banu is bringing the sounds for our next mixtape. The artist uses music as a political tool. For Banu, the strong message carried through sound is a vehicle to express emotions as well as a means of fighting against
oppression. 


Coming from a conservative family, making music has been her lifelong dream. It was the moment she had the opportunity to work with the iconic Arp 2600 synthesiser (a younger sibling to Eliane Radigue's infamous 2500 machine) that all her interests came into place to create an empowering soundscape with the aid of analogue drum machines. 
In her artistic practice, Banu uses participation, social design, ecology, and feminist and queer theory to create multimedia installations with sound as the main element, making her practice closer to contemporary art and activist spaces than the club realm. 


Banu has also been exploring her approach to sound and composition through her PhD research, focused on how to include sound in the Urban Design process. As Urban Design and Architecture concentrate mainly on the visual aspect of the urban space, other senses have never thought of or given very little consideration. For Banu, listening and hearing are essential in our daily life to understand the urban space and our surroundings. She also told us how she took the challenge and included human perception with Pauline Oliveros' Deep Listening theories and what attentive listening can bring about. She proposes sound as a participatory tool which means not only measurements and acoustics play a role but how we as users hear or listen to the urban space. 

Banu has also very recently released her debut album 'TransSoundScapes' (Intergalactic Research Institute For Sound, 2022). The production is an exercise in female solidarity between her as a migrant woman (she's currently based in Berlin) and her sisters from the trans community, where an artist from one marginalised group showing support towards her trans sisters, using her platform to help them amplify their voices and building a bridge towards a mutual understanding of femininity. There is also a part where she proposes urban space as a music composition - she doesn't believe in improvisation. She thinks there are rhythms in life that everyone follows, but we still create a holistic composition; this is why life goes. There are ruptures, like accidents or pandemics... But we still find harmony.



This mixtape, she says, it's a bunch of secret conversations with her Arp 2600 and everything influencing what she hears and listens to. It is about synths and drums.

Hédonisme Introspectif - AH&N Invite Atoloi(Février 2023)

Artist: ǝɯǝɐ 
[Balearic Islands]
Format: Digital
Release Date: April 17th 2023
Cat: ST058

. ǝɯǝɐ - Andrei Rublev
. ǝɯǝɐ - Sugar Hut
. ǝɯǝɐ - Hmu
. ǝɯǝɐ - Social Ablution
. ǝɯǝɐ - Hopeless
. ǝɯǝɐ - Deep Abyss

ǝɯǝɐ is the musical exploring project of the musician from island of Mallorca (Balearic Islands), Miquel Alzanillas. 

His deep interest in technology and avant-garde music inspired him to start producing and DJing at a young age. Since then, he has collaborated on various interdisciplinary projects, both in live performances and sound installations as well as in sound design for audiovisual projects. Currently, he combines ǝɯǝɐ project with designing and developing code for various Python applications.

Since his last release in 2019, he has been working on various audiovisual projects, both in sound design for advertising campaigns and scoring for a feature film.

Now, with his second album, ǝɯǝɐ is set to push his own limits even further, seeking a more digital and processed sound through landscapes that evoke science fiction in a dystopian future.

Atoloi is the project of Milan/Italy based Matteo Ghiringhelli and we are happy that he accepted invitation to our podcast series.

As a devotee of nature, Atoloi explores sound creating a mellow amalgam of layers using echoing synths, processed field recordings, and self-created samples; all mixed in a lysergic experience of heavy-grained noises and evocative instrumental compositions.
Not sticking only to canon club-oriented sonorities, instead, his productions and mixes search for other depths, in which the listener can get lost in a dense "no boundaries" journey for the body and the mind. 

Atoloi will be one of the performer at Transforma festival 2023, just in case if you would like to catch him around.

“Like a silver bowl filled with snow, like a heron hiding in moonlight”

3-words by David

David Grunzweig: @tape-ghost

Palm Reader 7: David Grunzweig

@tape-ghost is a project of David Grunzweig exploring the musical possibilities of artificial field recordings, microtonality, and polyrhythm composition. With a focus primarily on technology and utilizing new methods for sound synthesis and mangling, Tape Ghost productions range from ambient to psychedelic club tracks. Tape Ghost's style is largely influenced by the work of Voices From the Lake, Wata Igarashi, Monolake/Robert Henke, Cio D'or, Lucy and Rrose. A graduate of Stanford's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics, David is an audio signal processing engineer by day for a company specializing in sound spatialization and acoustic simulation.

. . . 

this is an all original live set by tape ghost, in response to...

"The intent of this set was to create a new set exploring a variety of themes and sound design concepts that have been of interest to me lately. Starting with formant synthesis in an attempt to make drones that resemble human vocals more closely, I developed a synthesizer in Reaktor that pulls from a variety of traditional formant filtering techniques and expanded it with some additional ideas. The rest of the digital elements in the set pull from granular synthesis techniques and Phase Modulation synthesis. These were chosen based on the fact that they do not have an analog equivalent and require digital systems to be achieved. The remaining equipment used was an Elektron Digitakt for drums and midi sequencing and my Eurorack modular system. Each decision was made in an attempt to create a performance and composition in which each device used functions in a way that is particularly unique to it’s capabilities. Thematically, the set focuses on a few ideas, primarily the juxtaposition between viewing our lives personally and existentially. Certain sounds illicit associations and experiences that we may have had personally or have learned about. Particularly sounds like chanting, droning, and the use of large reverberant spaces transports many to spaces of worship, spaces designed to turn our attention away from the micro of our personal lives to the cosmic. Placing this setting against the use of polyrhythmic drum arrangements was intended to allow people to detach or entrance, to feel themselves melting into their surrounding. The sound design is also influenced by a desire to explore the boundaries between the real and artificial in recorded music. No field recordings were used in this performance, but the intent was to create sounds which maintain a vague connection to our world and ask the listener to derive their own distinction between the familiar and the unknown."

"This image of a mountain, like Tape Ghost’s set, speaks to the ancestral, primal elements of our psyche — those ancient ghosts that haunt our modern-day consciousness. It suggests the power these archetypal forces still hold for us today, and reminds us to honour and respect our elemental origins. By blending analog stills with digital compositing, the photograph reflects the paradox of our organic-yet-digital existence, while also hinting at the liberation that lies within the harmony of these seemingly contradictory perspectives. Photographed somewhere on a misty mountain somewhere in Wales, while utterly lost."
