GRYMT#24

"Within the inner minds of psychosis, where thoughts danced like marionettes and reality wore a polka-dot hat, there existed a peculiar substance known as Vasolonstirctor Rub. Legend had it that this gooey concoction could make your ears sing in harmonious disharmony and your eyebrows perform an intricate tap dance. No one really knew where it came from; some said it was the result of a cosmic chef's experiment gone awry, while others believed it was a gift from the intergalactic jester.

On the distant alien moon of Quirkalon, where the craters resembled smiley faces and the rocks hummed catchy tunes, a group of extraterrestrial beings known as the Quiblorgs gathered for their annual Moonlight Mingle. The Quiblorgs, with their tentacle-like appendages and luminescent eyes that changed color with their emotions, were known throughout the cosmos for their love of absurdity.

As the moonlight bathed Quirkalon in a surreal glow, the Quiblorgs unveiled their prized delicacy – fingernail sandwiches. These weren't your ordinary sandwiches; they were meticulously crafted using the finest interstellar bread and garnished with toenail confetti. The Quiblorgs believed that the crunchiness of the fingernails added a special texture that elevated their culinary experience.

To amplify the bizarre festivities, the Quiblorgs decided to introduce the mysterious Vasolonstirctor Rub into the mix. One brave Quiblorg, named Zinglorp, dipped their tentacle into the Rub and began performing a mesmerizing dance that defied the laws of physics. As Zinglorp twirled and spun, the Vasolonstirctor Rub emitted a symphony of giggles and hiccup-like burps, creating an otherworldly spectacle.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Quiblorgs formed a circle and passed around the fingernail sandwiches, their appendages wriggling with delight. The combination of the Vasolonstirctor Rub-induced dance and the fingernail sandwiches turned the Moonlight Mingle into a cosmic carnival of chaos and joy.

As the night unfolded, the Quiblorgs discovered that the Vasolonstirctor Rub had a side effect – it made their laughter sound like intergalactic kazoo symphonies. The moonlit madness continued, with the Quiblorgs dancing, munching on fingernail sandwiches, and producing melodic laughter that echoed through the quirky craters of Quirkalon.

And so, under the peculiar glow of the alien moonlight, in the inner minds of psychosis, the Quiblorgs celebrated their uniqueness with the help of Vasolonstirctor Rub and fingernail sandwiches, creating a tale that left the minds of psychosis swirling in delightful confusion...."

Some events in my personal life have slowed down the completion of the next episode of Sound Propositions, but since it's been a while since our last mix, in the meanwhile it seemed an appropriate time to share a new one. Balkan signs comes courtesy of my longtime friend and collaborator Stefan Christoff, a Montreal-based musician and community organizer who has created many memorable mixes for this site over the years, here joined by Toni Dimitrov (Acidfake, Private Mountain, Post Global). In addition to his work as a DJ and producer, for over two decades, Toni has run various labels from Skopje, Macedonia, most recently élan vital recordings,  "an independent Macedonian music label releasing limited edition of handcrafted CDs and tapes from international artists focused on obscure aspects of sound, accompanied with carefully created artwork and video art." The label has also released work by Manja Ristić, Carlo Giustini, Michele Andreotti, Sova Stroj, and many others sure to appeal to our readers. And, full disclosure, back in 2021, élan vital released a CD collaboration between myself and Stefan, La Lumi​è​re Du Soleil Dans Un Semi Sous​-​sol. As he's mentioned before, Stefan has roots in the area along the Macedonian and Bulgarian border, and his music often explores his Balkan heritage. As he explains below, he finally met Toni in person last year while performing around the region. The two chose a number of tracks from across their various projects and collaborations, as well as from other labels (AMEK) and artists (EVITCELES) from the Balkans. (Joseph Sannicandro)

Stefan writes:

"In the fall last year I met Toni Dimitrov for the first time, we connected in Skopje, Macedonia. I had a solo piano concert on the one night that I was there and it was raining so hard. Connecting with and sharing some space with Toni, a prolific ambient musician, during the visit was important. I particularly enjoyed sharing a soup together after the show in an old restaurant. 

I am sharing this mix that was put together in the context of Toni and I working on a duet album together. The project is underway and we look forward to sharing it with the world. I love collaborating with Toni for many reasons, but one quickly that comes to mind is thinking about the mountain hikes that Toni regularly takes in the territory, in Macedonia."

Thank you for listening.
