Il y existe un chêne blanc en l’Etat uni de Georgia. Au décès d’un certain colonel Jackson autour des années 1820, son testament indique : That the said W.H.Jackson for and in consideration of the great affection which he bears said tree, and his great desire to see it protected has conveyed, and by these presents do convey unto the said oak tree entire possession of itself and of all land within eight feet [2.4 m] of it on all sides.

The Tree That Own Itself aurait germé autour du milieu du XVIème siècle et c'est deux siècles plus tard qu'il obtient un droit légal à disposer de lui-même. En 1942, la foudre lui tombe dessus, il se rompt, chute, et devient chablis. Mais c’était sans compter sur le germe d'un de ses glands planté et qui lui succède dans ses droits en tant que Son of the Tree That Own Itself.

C'est une fable, une anecdote, mais par son caractère grossièrement anthropomorphique, et assez rare pour nous esquisser un rictus, elle nous met finalement en face des manquements profonds de nos ressources imaginaires pour penser "l'arbre" et le vivant dans la pensée occidentale. 
L'histoire nous dit voici l'individu arbre, voici le père et voici son fils. Voici l'espace de sa croissance potentielle, périmètre du devenir de l'individu arbre.... Mais toujours, l'identité de l'arbre nous échappe et se dissous dans un tissu interconnecté. L'identité transmute, se meut et se floute.

J'ai poussé la fantaisie fictionnelle à imaginer une sorte de centre de cure et bien être pour les arbres. Les arbres y viendraient avec leurs deux jambes pour se ressourcer la sève. Pour prendre des bains de boue, des massages d'écorce pour défaire leur nœuds, pour regagner une verdure d'antan, retrouver du cœur au feuillage et cicatriser les initiales d'amoureux gravées. Les arbres viennent prendre répit des termites, des fourmis, des piverts, des champignons, des pucerons... mais surtout des coulées de bétons, et lames d'acier. Voici la bande son que je m'imagine dans un tel environnement. C'est un trait d'esprit pour essayer à partir de mes lunettes et sensations humaines de m'imaginer pousser quelques racines et devenir un humanoïde feuillu qui se possède lui-même.

NEST 𓆇𓆇𓆇 Tree Resort w/ Nek (11.12.2024)

💥Recorded live at Bounce House on 10/18/24 between 12-1am💥

On opening resident duties is none other than bounce boss Furtive, a genre-agnostic sonic shock-trooper with a unique touch for re-writing the rhythm of the rave by subtly weaving in surprising whiplash moments of the psychedelic and sentimental. You'll never quite know what you'll get, but tuned to the room and the night's lineup, it's sure to take you places.

"If there is one event that I have had the fortune of playing that feels like it seeps and oozes with the same spirit that motivates the wonderful mix series Beyond/Below, it is the annual ambient gathering, Chillits, held in Northern California each year. For that reason, I am honored to have a live recording of my set, recorded on site at the gathering in September 2024, welcomed here alongside so many brilliant ambient mixes. Grounded in a memory of traveling to Avebury with my father, this offering is dedicated to my brother, all of the hard-working free-spirits that tirelessly organize radical musical gatherings across the US and around the world, and to the recently departed Max Carpenter.

As expected for an event like this, the playlist is an approximation and likely has many gaps and unexpected additions. Mastering by the one with the metal plate, Jonathan James Carr."

Beautiful Day

Tiny shimmering tones drift through a steady low-frequency bed, like two hearts meeting in the perfect distance—no pushing, no pulling, just a quiet, natural connection.
