Maiuscula - "blur if you can see me" mix

An array of commonplace metal objects - chains, pans, a bicycle, a chair - recorded by Ross Alexander at home in Berlin during the pandemic comprise the source material of 11 𝑮𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔. Functioning as a temporal and mnemonic exploration into the nature and conception of “home”, the album evokes Alexander’s earliest memories and broader hauntological perspectives of post-industrial England:

“Growing up in South Yorkshire in the 1980s and 90s was an existence haunted with the ghosts of a heavy manufacturing industry which once thrived in the region. On both a visceral and sensorial level it might be considered equally as impossible to escape the nostalgic stories of mines and steelworks as it was to escape the smell of molten metal in the air drifting from the Don Valley.”

The improvised metallic scrapes, bangs, and bowings recorded by Alexander were further abstracted in live performances using granular sampling techniques, creating a new and extrinsic world to which subconscious thoughts can flee, sonically and contextually. The results are both dreamy and unpredictable, fusing the immediacy of acoustic percussion with the billowing resonances imbued by granular synthesis.

“On tracing back through distant memories of my formative years for sound-objects which represented to me the essential idea of ‘being from’ as opposed to ‘being a visitor’ I related to a pervasive association with the sounds of metal and metallic objects, mostly in respect to how certain structural properties relate to haptic and resonant nature and the manifestation of those properties as sonic results. I feel this is the result of growing up in a place where heavy industry, or at least the remnant of which, was central to society, community and everyday life.”

And So Now

Atrice consists of Lino Schilling and Pablo Chacon-Pino, two sound designers and artists from Zurich. As part of the MIRAS collective, they curate events for contemporary club music and build a platform to support young and upcoming artists. 
Their musical work is inspired by encounters of the everyday and by digital sensory overload. They create acousmatic, electroacoustic, ambient hybrids with influences from western pop culture.

"Akus i." is characterised by a variety of different sonic textures, organic transitions in between and through floating states. With minimal movements, it leads the focus of the listener’s attention astray.

Atrice - Akus i.

Silence can be loud if you listen to it. Listening is active. Listening is activism. Deep listening is an active process, of listening to the music, to the world. Silence can be active and political. Listening is the prerequisite for change.
