I made this piece during the winter months when I spent most of my days alone, digging into archives, collecting some forgotten scraps from old tape loops together and melting them with what felt present at the time, those soundscapes that vibrate most beautifully in deep silence.

It consists of two parts - one corresponding to the setting process, the other to resetting, it tells story of leaving traces and covering them up.

Trace had its very first premiere on May 6 at Rewire festival.

Trace

Summer Solstice 2021
Joutsa, Finland

To tell the true story of Muki Bu Mudiubi is to tell a story of a journey prophesied by a spiritual healer, initiated by a venomous serpent, embarked upon by a young and restless seeker, and realised between four kindred spirits in a far-away land covered in small bodies of sweet water.

Words (mouth sounds) as an instrument: to implement and to convey. That’s how it’s always been. Muki Bu Mudiubi: When young, they all rapped or sang along to words they didn’t understand. From the towns of Thies, Senegal to Helsinki, Finland, via the Netherlands, London, New York and Joutsa, Finland.

Muki Bu Mudiubi: together with the Wolof-tongued vocalist Zinzin, fashion designer and artist Siiri Raasakka, her wife the rapper-filmmaker Ville Valoton, and the artist known as Celestial Trax complete the group.

As prophesied by a senegalese sage, the snakebite had opened a psychic wound in young Zinzin which would manifest itself in the form of a restless quest. Unknown are the roads connecting the most western point of Africa to the northern territory of Finland and its 168,000 bodies of sweet water. Muki Bu Mudiubi is to keep searching. To die not wondering, and to live wondering: how to make wounds beautiful? The serpent within smiles.

Muki Bu Mudiubi are based in Helsinki, Finland. Damalén balui thi bir.

POL100 - First Person

Self-titled debut heralds new collaborative project as Laurel Uziell, AKA Tooth Rust, and Georgie McVicar link up on @alien-jams. 

Christened Egg Meat, shadowy menace and end-of-days melancholy pervade the duo’s impending release. Expect textural incursions on the genre-defying territory between vocal experimentation, bass mutation and techno abstraction; mournful, desolate and prophetic all at once.  

As is the case across all 5 tracks, our premiere bears a spoken spoken word contribution from UK poet Danny Hayward. It’s fraught with a pervasive sense of foreboding, Egg Meat’s low-end pressure the portent of some cataclysm on the horizon.

'Egg Meat' is out November 18th on Alien Jams.

Taken from SBKT053: Zaliva-D - 孽儿谣 Misbegotten Ballads
Release date: 23rd November 2022

孽儿谣 Misbegotten Ballads is the long-awaited fourth studio album from Beijing based A/V duo Zaliva-D.

--------

The years are passed on to the elderly, and the elderly sing to the children. Unfamiliar and uncomfortable.

A song for several lifetimes, then blurred and reduced to a hum.

People who have forgotten where home is, believe in deceptive signposts.

Festive steps backwards, one step to the left, two steps to the right, singing without using the mouth, humming, not knowing who is who.

Faces ingress into kids, laughing and jumping, shouting and pissing. Darkness pours into midnight musume, floating in the water, two eyes, three eyes, not me, not me either.

The river waves all the way. Stars that lead the singing, towards the ripples of the bells, stumbling and untidy.

From AEST-057: Zaumne “Dreams of Teeth Falling Out” CS

Dream books tend to explain the titular dreams of teeth falling out as a signal that some of our needs have been neglected or sometimes as a prophecy of failure or loss. As distressing as it sounds, such dreams are not necessarily a bad omen – they may also foreshadow regeneration and rebirth

Recorded in 2020, Zaumne’s new album is a study of suppressed feelings crawling underneath the consciousness. A dense mosaic of lurking emotional states that we need to recognize and make peace with for our own good

CLMxGUN is happy to present Chain of Whispers, a two-fold EP exploring further collaborative production processes. Like a murmur in the wind, a secret being delivered from ear to ear, it is born from a playful approach to sound manipulation and its transformation when passed from one hand to another. An embodiment of how music can be altered by each and every contribution.

Through a defined set of constraints based on the Telephone game, the concept is simple : each successive track is a remix of the previous one, and the contributors could not hear what was done before them. So on and so forth. A continuous cycle of appropriation and re-interpretation.

From this experiment resulted two 7-track EPs, two chains which gathered 11 artists, each with their own identity and their own input. With each new link in the chain, the sound mutates, speeds up or slows down - some of its elements are exacerbated, while others are concealed or juxtaposed to new ones.

The second chain welcomes 71W3, GRIG, jjjacob, Lithe, Lukann, and SNKLS. Covering a broad spectrum of sounds, it moves back and forth between heavy club material and ethereal soundscapes, finding peace and closure in this constant state of unrest.
