The John Peel Sessions

Tour De Repechage (John Peel Session)

@mea0u

An interrogation of identity pervades every corner of Zeynep Ağcabay’s ‘Ancestral Ground’, the debut body of work under her birth name. As someone who has formed their practice creating soundscapes for high fashion labels and runway shows, this mini-album represents the artist finally being given full creative license. Although Zeynep’s Turkish ancestry is heard amongst all seven tracks, it is not simply a borrowing or a homage. Very much still connected both geographically and culturally with her ancestral ground, the Turkish ney flute present throughout these recordings evokes a gesture of respect to her father’s fostering of a musical upbringing and an inquisitive gaze into the timbrality of instruments operating within a wholly different embedded culture than those of the West.

A growing community of London-based artists with roots elsewhere are investigating what geographically and culturally mixed identities can mean when translated into sonic offerings (see: Flora Yin-Wong, Nexcyia, Ewa Awe, Susu Laroche, Nkisi). What perhaps sets Zeynep Ağcabay apart is the complex feelings of anguish towards a bureaucratic system which has been the hostile backdrop to their years living in London, unable to move freely around Europe and necessitating an implementation of composition-as-labour to survive an overwhelmingly unlivable city. This is the dissonant shadow-self sibling of mea0u, Zeynep’s deconstructed pop moniker, and from the Portishead trip-hop leanings channelled at the end of ‘Umay Ana’ straight into the nine minute closing track ‘Ak Ana’, these are perfect representations of this shadow-self succeeding in turning malevolence into a euphoric device.

A statement:
In times like these – when so much has changed in the world in such a short span – one feels the urge to simply get away, far away. There’s a longing for a peaceful place, filled with harmony, beauty, and open-hearted people with no ill intentions. With this in mind, I wrote this track to create a space – if only for a few minutes – that brings calm, a sphere in which peace can be found. A space where one can reconnect with oneself and refocus on what truly matters. In that sense, the yearning for a better place can also inspire us to make the here and now a better place.

Antifa is my cousin.  I heard some people were looking for her.  Since I like to be helpful when I can, she was in Alexandria last time I talked to her, three weeks ago.  I think she mentioned going to Zurich in the near future.

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

...

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
