BASSINÄ [22.04.2021]

Oriel

Allowing yourself to find meaning or beauty in the mundane is an act of generosity, Whether it’s seeing a smiling face in an electrical outlet socket, or discerning cosmic design amidst the forest floor detritus, it comes from a place of kindness to yourself and senses – and openness to hidden spirit of the world. These tracks came together during a period of intense personal change for adaa, rooted in a fruitful reflection on the connections between spirit and body, “feeling my flesh so I can feel and understand my spirit,” as adaa puts it. The sense of a crossover and clash of multiple connected realities – on-screens, on-line, on-earth, off-world, after-life – unites adaa’s multifaceted productions.

Ostensibly an assemblage of found sounds. scribbled thoughts and poems from diaries, and musial snippets, the album's scattered production reflects adaa’s own many mirror worlds. Field recording sit behind most tracks, alongside VST synths, guitars, and a variety of voices, from adaa’s own mangled vox to EVP samples taken from YouTube (recorded sounds believed to be spirits or paranormal activity), all processed to varying degrees.

While the music was mostly produced either in adaa’s studio in Providence, Rhode Island, or in bed, the field recordings bring the outside world in. The result of walks in the woods, hum of roads and highways, hiss of beaches, warmth of walks with friends and past lovers “around the East Coast”. It sits behind tracks like ‘sight’ where a lilting piano lin bobs atop a pond of rustling and distant whistles. Is that birdsong? Or ghosts? Saccharine hyperpop arpeggiation crossfades sharply into noise guitar squall. Angelic demon voices yawn into a hefty crescendo. Pure drones duet with gales of undefinable field sounds.

“Sometimes I feel like a seed in frosted soil,” says adaa. “If i choose to be optimistic.” 






Composed, recorded, found and mixed mostly in and around "providence, rhode island" and the east coast of "america" by adaa in various moments between 2021 and 2024

Falling Frontwards Into Pincers

surface insides

Lucy Railton / cello

---

"...What is it about the telling that provides comfort or consolation? Perhaps it's partly in the curative power of naming, an act that can bring our experience into relief and ward off the depressive forces of nothingness, formlessness, and monstrous plasticity. There are also other forms of telling that are not lexical, and our too-easy separation of sound and speech, music and words, belies the existence of something deeply healing and transformational that grounds and unifies them both." - Sofie Fetokaki  

This music was improvised and recorded on April 31st in the quiet bunker-esque venue, Ausland, just 20 doors down from where I live in Berlin. Additional processes and editing were competed on May 2nd 2020. Special thanks to Cafe Oto, Billy Steiger, Petter Eldh and Sophie Fetokaki for their part in the making of this work.

@oedura provides us with a mix to accompany Kazuya Yoshino's body of work 'Before She Dies' in the windows.

‘She never stops talking
And she doesn’t really listen either
At some points, I wondered if she was senile
But I realised
She’s just really lonely
She doesn’t have much
Only her dogs and cats will listen to her
Grandpa seems dead inside
He’s learnt the art of passing white noise from one ear to the next
I could understand why my mother ran away
Anyone would go crazy being around her for that long 
But I think for her
It’s love
Her incessant worry
Is love
No matter what my mother thought of her I knew I had to go and take photos of her Before’

Diggy digg aka the story of no style #4 w/ Jailor & Fula (25.10.2020)

Show #03: @holysimilaun
Holy Similaun operates under blurry skies, polluting semantic memories with augmented-nostalgia and a sense of failure of the collective, but managing to see a possible future through suburban fractures.Far from being a mere technical exercise with an objective look, H—S emotionally dilates inside an intimate inner space as to want to reach a more intensive zone beyond – outside – standard perceptual thresholds.

For this mix, I wanted to play something that I'd like to play as an endless background during these autumnal afternoons.
I mainly picked tracks from videogames that I played a lot during the last months and coming-of-age anime movies that I deeply loved.
This mix is meant to be played quiet and at the dark.
