I go to the parties
Throw my hands in the air
I drink what they pour me
The cups of who cares
Go up in the night sky
Up in the clouds
Fly over the houses
I'm looking down

Joy to the city
Joy to the streets
And joy to you baby, wherever you sleep
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight

There's no ghosts in the graveyard
That's not where they live
They float in between us
'what is' and 'what if'
And cast our own shadows
Before our own eyes
You don't get them up here though
They don't come up high

Joy to the city
The parking lot lights
The lion of evening
With the rain in its eyes
Joy to the freeway
Joy to the cars
And joy to you baby, wherever you are
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight

There's pain in whatever
We stumble upon
If I never had met you
You couldn't have gone
But then I couldn't have met you
We couldn't have been
I guess it all adds up
To joy to the end

Joy to the city
The heatwave and all
To the lion of evening
With the storm in its paw
Joy to the many
And joy to the few
And joy to you baby
Joy to me too
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight

The Sun (The Drunken Apaches Remix)

Passive Me Aggressive You

The Sun

تا فرداهای دور
کاش می‌تونستم بگم به بچه گل فروش چهارراه
به راننده اخمو که تو کله ش حرفه و لباش بسته ست
به مادرم که نگران جلوی اخبار نشسته
به عابری که هنوز ظهر نشده خسته ست

دستمو بگیر، دستمو بگیر, دستمو بگیر، دستمو بگیر

هنوز زمین می‌چرخه، بیا بچرخیم
خورشید دورمون می‌گرده، بیا بچرخیم
از چرخش روزگار نترس، بیا بچرخیم
تا فردا های دور

من نمیترسم از شکست خوردن
از ارتفاع، از تو جوونی مردن
من نمی‌تونم به خودم دروغ بگم
این شهر رو سیل برده ولی آدماش نمردن

من زنده ام، پس دستمو بگیر
من هستم، پس دستمو بگیر
من می‌خونم، پس دستمو بگیر
من می‌رقصم، پس دستمو بگیر

از مرگ آدم ها نگو، بیا برقصیم
از افتادن درخت ها نگو، بیا برقصیم
از نگاه آدم ها نترس، بیا برقصیم
از ترس فردا ها نگو، بیا برقصیم

تا فرداهای دور، تا فرداهای دور تا فرداهای دور، تا فرداهای دور

من می‌رقصم پس هستم و من بی شراب و می مستم و پس بیا بگیر دستمو (تا فرداهای دور)تا فرداهای دور

به فردا های تار بخند، بیا برقصیم
(دستمو بگیر و چشم هاتو ببند)
به غم دار و ندار بخند، بیا برقصیم
(دستمو بگیر و چشم هاتو ببند)
از دست روزگار بخند، بیا برقصیم
(دستمو بگیر و چشم هاتو ببند)
بیا همین یک بار بخند، بیا برقصیم
(دستمو بگیر و چشم هاتو ببند)

تا فرداهای دور، تا فرداهای دور

ABOUT STABAT MATER:
Stabat Mater is a 20 movement cycle of audio/visual ecstatic visions from experimental sacred audio/visual duo ARIADNE. The cycle is being released as a purely musical work on cassette tape and as an interactive audio/visual web based experience. Stabat Mater is heavily inspired by the visions of female Christian mystics Hildegard von Bingen and Teresa of Avila. The lyrics for Stabat Mater include adaptations of writings from these mystics fused together with text taken from surrealist poet Aase Berg’s With Deer and Dark Matter (both translated by Johannes Göransson and published by Black Ocean).

DIGITAL / WebGL:
The audio/visual version of the album is implemented as a web based 3D interactive experience, wherein each of the 20 visions are depicted as an integrated audio/visual experience. The visuals are generative and use real-time audio analysis, physics simulation and user input to determine the animation so that each experience is unique.

PHYSICAL CASSETTE:
In contrast to the interactive digital sanctuary, the cassette version serves as a physical relic for these visions and represents another path to experiencing the audio material. The dualistic nature of ARIADNE is fully realized by the balancing of digital creation with analog reproduction, professionally duplicated onto hi-fi Chrome+ tape stock. The format was also chosen for its encouragement of uninterrupted listening sessions, with movements transitioning seamlessly into one another and purposefully shedding the burden of listener interaction. The physical version is being released in “light” and “dark” editions with inverted cover art, case and cassette colors for each, with both featuring multi-panel artwork and full lyrical transcripts.

BIOGRAPHY:
ARIADNE is an experimental sacred music and new media art duo whose work explores the intersection of mysticism, dream analysis and the failure of digital systems through a synthesis of music performance, digital and interactive art, poetry and dramatic experience. Much of ARIADNE’s output consists of interactive audio/visual performances which employ custom built hardware and software, real-time 3D animation, and machine learning to create immersive and captivating experiences. ARIADNE’s body of work includes feature-length audio/visual albums, web-based virtual reality, and a/v installations.

آهنگ و ترانه: عليخان حبيب زاده
تنظيم: گروه جالبوت

ترجمه شعر:

فهمت را بالا ببر              فهمت را بالا ببر

ما همه باهم مهربانيم 
با كوري و نادانى مي جنگيم
داش و قلدر از قافله جا مانده اند
آن زمان خان خانى تمام شده است

فهمت را بالا ببر              فهمت را بالا ببر

اى پدر خجالت نكش و از فرزندت بپرس
قربان تو مى روم و برايت مى خوانم

جيم دو زبر جَن و دو زير جِن و دو پيش جُن

رضا کولغانی، خواننده گروه داماهی در مورد این آهنگ نوشته: ترانه اي براي قرار گرفتن در كنار هم با هر نگاه و تفكر و هر عقيده اي. براستي چه سرّي در بعضي آثار است كه بعد از گذشت چهل سال با وضعيت فعلي مان مشابه است 
براستي ما نسلي هستيم كه به يادمان ندادند از فرهنگ و منابع فرهنگيمان از خاك و آب و موجودات و خانه مان درست محافظت كنيم و در حال حاضر با وضعيتي مواجه ايم كه نه از آب و خاكمان چيزي باقي مانده و نه از فرهنگمان 
اثر جديد گروه جالبوت با شعر و ملودي زنده ياد عليخان حبيب زاده و تنظيم و بأسازي از گروه كار بلد جالبوت يك تمرين و تست دمكراسي است يه شروع براي ياد گرفتن حرمت و احترام يك تلاش براي از بين بردن دعواهاي پوچ نسلي و ممارست براي انداختن دست روي دوش هم و قسمت كردن دانايي و دارايي و شعور و فهم انساني با يكدگر و نگاه كردن يكسان بهم و آگاه كردن فرزندانمان از وضعيت اسفباري كه انتظارمان را مي كشد.
از خواص شنيدن اين اثر حال خوب حقيقي است كه ناخواسته در اين وضعيت سياه به سراغتان مي آيد 
گوش بسپاريد و برقصيد و برقصيد و برقصيد اين بهترين درمان براي همه ماست
دم همتو گرم

Objekt — Cocoon Crush
Format: 2xLP / CD / Digital
Cat.No. PAN 97
Release Date: 9 November 2018 
Pre-order album: bit.ly/2xhO0kR / bit.ly/2OvxYuv

PAN welcomes back Objekt for Cocoon Crush, his first LP since 2014’s Flatland. Over the past four years Objekt has continued to challenge conventions with his club output (the Objekt #4 single release and the Kern Vol. 3 mix CD for Tresor), while maintaining his reputation as a DJ who deploys impeccable technical finesse in crafting elaborate narratives from a diverse and challenging palette of electronic music. 

Written between 2014 and 2018 in Berlin and on the road, Cocoon Crush once again sees the producer jettisoning the functional requirements of the dancefloor. Marking a further evolution from the youthful exuberance of Flatland, Cocoon Crush explores a more introspective side, with themes of human interaction resonating throughout the record as it ruminates on a spectrum of complex moods rooted in 4 years of sometimes turbulent personal experience. 

Cocoon Crush represents an aesthetic departure from Flatland’s largely synthetic tonality, drawing from organic source material and natural textures to illustrate perplexing and unfamiliar sceneries in photorealistic detail. In Cocoon Crush, Objekt diverges further still from his musical influences to craft the purest manifestation of his own musical personality to date: an intriguing and enigmatic album whose reference points are hard to pin down, in which ghostly synth passages weave through mind-bending, weighty drums, and ASMR-triggering foley collages scrape and sparkle. Through meticulous sculpting, Objekt traces a rich and impressionistic journey through claustrophobia, hope, guilt, anxiety and joy, nested in layers of sonic detail which reward with every listen. 

The album is mastered by Rashad Becker, featuring photography by Kasia Zacharko, and layout by Bill Kouligas.

///
Siavash Amini returns to Hallow Ground  with »A Mimesis of Nothingness,« his fourth album for the Swiss label. Following up on »Harmistice« together with fellow Iranian artists 9T Antiope, the six tracks were conceived in close collaboration with another artist and see the prolific composer intensify his interdisciplinary approach. The six tracks enter a dialogue with the photographs of Nooshin Shafiee, an acclaimed artist whose work capturing their hometown Tehran becomes the starting point for one of Amini’s most visceral and haunting records. »A Mimesis of Nothingness« translates the ephemeral situations and melancholic moods of Shafiee’s pictures into suspenseful soundscapes that masterfully navigate between the concrete and the abstract.

Amini met Shafiee while setting up the sound art space SEDA Projects at the Emkan gallery in Tehran where the photographer’s second solo exhibition was shown. Following the suggestion of curator Behzad Nejadghanbar, the two started a fruitful collaboration that would eventually lead to »A Mimesis of Nothingness,« which was written and recorded between the years 2018 and 2019 and which includes a booklet with a selection of Shafiee’s work. The two share an interest in exploring the sensual experience and the metaphysical dimensions of space. »I was fascinated by Nooshin’s approach,« explains Amini who, ever since releasing the album »TAR« through Hallow Ground in 2017, has focused on how our experience of places is shaped by the individual and collective subconscious. »It wasn’t the Tehran that everyone projected into their work, it was Tehran showing itself through tiny and giant overlooked places or objects.«

Amini’s music accordingly does not seek out a specific sonic picture of the city, but rather lets it come alive on its own terms. »A Mimesis of Nothingness« is a disquieting record precisely because it is a quiet one. Working with field recordings, Amini sculpts dynamic portraits that create an atmosphere of tangible suspense that is never fully released. Even when string-like sounds enter the picture as they do on the third track »Moonless Garden« or when the abstract and glacial noise on »Observance (Shadow)« demand the listener’s attention, the six pieces take hold of the subconscious rather than trying to be direct and confrontational. It is sound conceived not as a description, but a circumscription of spatial relations and the eeriness embedded in them. 

»We both saw something decadent or violent about all of these captured places and objects,« says the composer about Shafiee’s pictures. »There is no resolution, just excess. It seems they are eternal remnants of a violent scene, no matter how new or old they were. Never finished, never begotten, a stillborn.« Throughout »A Mimesis of Nothingness,« its ghost roams freely.

SIAVASH AMINI - Moonless Garden (HG2006)

حدس بزن
تا لب کرت چند قدمه

هر قدم تا ته دریا
چند فرسنگه

هر فرسنگ کوله‌بار غمش بود
می‌شست از شوره‌زار تنش رود

اینجا نعره می‌زد،
افسار می‌درید
انگار شره می‌کرد
این‌‌بار می‌پرید

*دستاش صخره رو قاپید
چشماش دره رو خواب دید*

چرخ بزن توی این کوره
قلب منه

نقب بزن توی این دهلیز
چند نفسه

هر نفس  خنجری به تنش بود
می‌شست از شوره‌زار تنش رود

"Original track for GAIA: A Cyborg Opera [directed by Kainkollektiv]"

Standing in the crowd
falling in
Staring into future,
standing out

Standing in the crowd
pouring in
Bleeding through the sutures
standing out

Learning how to grow these scales
has hardened my skin
Dragging all the bones stale
through thick and through thin
I'm a reptile, crawling

Wondering why the lights bounce
off the skin
like a light house
I'm solid

Standing in the crowd
falling in
Staring into future,
standing out

Standing in the crowd
pouring in
Bleeding through the sutures
Standing out

Learning how to stay
Dragging my bones, stale
