My Life, The Remix

This is not me. I am not a soldier in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, wearing my father's wartime uniform, on a laptop in a basement somewhere. I am an experimental producer.
but for some reason Russians want me dead, therefore
This is not me. I did not produce these wonders of soundwave, I did not mix the remix and master the masterpiece. I am a soldier in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, wearing my father's uniform.

But a heart is a heart and there are eleven hearts here and they are S280F and Grischa Lichtenberger and Angelo Harmsworth and Galen Tipton and sv1 and trngs and Sara Persico and Hwoaranng and Ludwig Wandinger and Ross Alexander and John Object. I am a file on their drives and they are the song in my heart.

The idea for a John Object compilation would seem obvious to some, as I really do know some of the greatest Ableton Live users to ever stumble upon this plane. I never had the heart to ask!

Ludwig Wandinger and Ross Alexander are two of my friends from Berlin, and they are, to date, the only people that made it their business to bring me to play in that blessed city. I played at 8MM Bar both times (that place is fucking sweet) at Salon Oblique events. Now, at this war, in what I can only describe as a gesture of love and tender caring, they called upon the geniuses of today to work on my work and provided me with an album where there could not be one. This is a remix compilation that I found out about only when it was already release-ready.

I really only could take one night off, walked to the nearest village, and my dear friend Andrii, a soldier himself, brought me my camera, and I titled the compilation in blood. Then for a month I worked on a .pdf booklet for the digital edition, that, really, tells the whole story.

I think this is probably the wildest, most advanced music ever to be released by a soldier in active service.

I can't adequately express the crushing magnitude of tenderness, love and gratitude that I feel towards every person involved.

thank you Ludwig: www.ludwigwandinger.com
thank you Ross: https://rossalexanderpayne.com
thank you Andrii for being the best friend in peace and in war.

This all happened only because Ross brought me to Berlin for Salon Oblique at 8MM Bar www.salonoblique.net, and then Ludwig brought me to Berlin to record with him and play at Salon Oblique again, and then because they cared about me, and because my friend Andrii brought me the camera and helped me find the right way to call this.

So much never happened, and so much never will, because of Russians and their deep-seated hatred of me, of everyone I love, and everyone Ukrainian. I am still at war and I am still under threat of violent death every day. Many people I knew and served with have already been murdered by Russians. I am just lucky.

Coming soon:
Limited edition engraved USB carabiner drive with Plead, .pdf booklet, and a recording of a John Object live set at Salon Oblique on October 18th, 2021, when the war seemed so very, very unlikely, and this existence was not imaginable at all. Ships starting November 1st.

The 46th release of katharsis is the EP “Plumage” by french artist Bademjan, coming out in full on November 18th. "Plumage" takes the listener on an epic voyage guided by the arcane wisdom of synthetic bird-guides, mysterious creatures leading the way through haunting and sublime realms. The EP emerges as a reflection on the pursuit of elusive truths and their role in shaping identity, and unfolds like an initiatory journey, inviting the listener to explore realms of feelings unremembered and times that never were.

From the discovery of a hidden chapel where stained glass whispers vivid secrets, to eerie calls piercing the night in a moonlit forest, each of the seven tracks reveals a new chapter in this overarching tale. Throughout the journey, the mystical birds appear briefly but meaningfully, offering both an unsettling and comforting presence as they help us navigate the shifting sands of self and accept the inevitable decay of all that we hold dear.

On “Plumage”, Bademjan unfolds his full potential by materializing his sonic development with incorporation of the electric upright bass as the backbone of the record, with its sound manipulated and processed to evoke a spectrum of emotional textures, from delicate pizzicato notes to deep sub-bass roars and gritty bow strokes. This organic foundation is enriched with woodwind-esque synths, ethereal vocal harmonies and the uncanny chirps of artificial birds, creating a sonic fable that feels both eternal and ephemeral.

Bademjan has previously put out releases with labels White Garden and Olga Productions, and contributed to compilations from Club Late Music, 90000realms and evo-natura besides figurating on the katharsis compilations “Embracing Darkness, Absorbing Light” and “Infinite Summer: Fantasi”.

‘Passing Through All Happy Dreams Like Hallways’ is an album by New York City-based artist Bug Bus Piano (@goodnightbed). It’s on TT.

It’s a world. A zone of elusive memories and insomniac fog. An album of murky mirages, slow-spiralling smoke plumes, gently bobbing streetlights viewed through bleary eyes during hours outside of time. Dream-to-mp3 conversion.

The spectral hypnagogia of ‘Blue And Purple Ribbons In The Hallways’ and ‘Tired’ haunt and soothe in equal measure, while the low-lidded vignettes of ‘Unlucky’ #1 through #6 conjure ghostly, stairwell-dwelling figures. Sleep paralysis angels. Whispering windows and shadows that sigh.

This is night music. ‘Open-Air Factory (Entering The Battlefield Version)’ is a mind playing tricks on itself, ‘All Clocks Stopped And The Dream Rewound’ is pure sleepwalking sugar. Songs that flicker and glow like candlelight, music about half-hallucinated conversations that might have meant everything or nothing at all. Blurry mnemonic outlines of encounters that feel significant, if you could only bring them to mind. There’s truth in dreams, but a weary head is hard to trust.

Per ‘Lucky’: “The path into the light seems dark. The path forward seems to go back. The direct path seems long. True power seems weak. True purity seems tarnished. True steadfastness seems changeable. True clarity seems obscure. The greatest art seems unsophisticated. The greatest love seems indifferent. The greatest wisdom seems childish.”

Admittedly, the extract from the still belies the line in this week's @naviar-records haiku poem challenge. The actual line is "half-asleep eyes", but we'll go with what's in the image. This week I've been collaging splice sounds and playing them live in Ableton, then drastically re-editing. I wanted to mix up how I'm making music. Break habits and form new.

The information about this week's challenge is here:

"half-asleep eyes
open to a dreamlike world
of blossoms"

Natsume Seibi (1749-1816) was the son of a wealthy Edo rice broker and was acquainted with a number of other famous poets, including Oshima Ryota and Kobayashi Issa. In addition to his poetry, Seibi left behind a number of fine examples of haikai prose. 

Haiku by Natsume Seibi

Extract of a picture by Pascal Bullan

Notes from the Penguin Book of Haiku:

nebuki me o / hirakeba hana no / ukiyo kana

Ukiyo, the floating world of pleasure, specifically referred to the pleasure quarters with its various beautiful women (hana, literally ‘blossoms’) as well as to popular theatre and street spectacles.
