Croatian Amor - Kites Over Kyiv's Eternal Flame

The music artist and digital designer from Bangkok, @rab_neba, is presenting an album "(A)Iphoria".
The sound is a mix of electronica, ambient, vaporwave, and dungeon synth, crafted over 2.5 years. The album features futuristic landscapes that weave nostalgia and a mysterious dungeon atmosphere.

Rab Neba has been active in the electronic underground scene since the release of his vaporwave album "チュニック - tunic EP" in 2012 and has also co-founded bands like Goodbye Porsche (shoegaze, ambient trap, established in 2014) and Tomb de Narcisse (post-punk).

After releasing her first tape “Fugue: Some Temporal Patterns Other Than the Forward March” on Genot Centre in 2017, artist and musician Johanna Odersky returns with another full-length album. The Städelschule sudent, who works primarily with sculptures, continues to explore the silhouettes separating internal and external worlds and the mechanisms of inclusion, exclusion and domestication they reveal, on her self-titled album ‘Iku’. Her audio work can be described as a mishmash of associative samples, which Iku carefully weaves into a complex entanglement of emotionally charged sounds. While her first album relies heavily on blissfully arranged ambient pieces, the artist began to involve her own voice as a center piece in the “Body Horror” EP, which was released by berlin-based Creamcake last year. 
The self-titled album feels like a sophisticated continuation of tracks like “À Tes Yeux” and her early work on Fugue, combining french pop vibes with classical instruments and gloomy spoken-word snippets, forming sonic material, which arises from sketches of Iku’s inner. Odersky takes us on a travel through a hypnagogic realm, which is full of contrasts and uncertain atmospheres. 

Iku’s self-titled album ‘Iku’ will be released on May 17th, 2019 and will be premiered at Hyperreality 2019.

‘
There is grief, exultation and relief inherent in belonging to community. Re Munus reflects on the tone of deep gravity with which the re munisation of the de munised is unravelling. The generations which dismantled their social contract, achieved immunity, revoked solidarity.

Severe circumstances foment collectivity, suffering and empathy, interrupting the ethereal dream of social weightlessness. Re Munus sketches sensations and observations during a time of reorientation, rediscovery of lived sensibility on a relational scale. An encounter with sensations which we had said defined us—the tangibility of which we had forgotten, believed to be confined to the past. There is tension between the physical withdrawal and lived intensity which permeates these works.
’ Lugh


Personal drift. There is a multitude of presences guiding you through this record as a listener, not without their own doubts as to where they are leading you. A murky social space. Time-compressed club experiences within layered acoustic dimensions; consolidated, captured and played back into the same space. I am sitting in several rooms simultaneously. Death metal screams in an Animal Crossing world modelled on our own.

 The choral rush of ‘Million Dollar Cowboy’ from Lugh’s Hélico EP (2018) re-appears again in ‘Braises’ and ‘Free Fall’, deeper and re-figured. Sometimes the record also haunts itself—each element heard having been through a process so long and many-staged, it’s as though it has already lived.

 These compositions hold within them a flawed attempt to communicate on every level. The desire of language as expressed through music—towards shared meaning. Paradoxically voiced and voiceless, it denies textual, verbal description, instead crying out through the cracks in forming its own liquid tongue. Clone choirs simultaneously rehearse in an open space below. A slow walk through this spectacle. It’s an anguished record as much as it is at times tranquil. The movement between voices detached and embodied becomes playful—often warping them far beyond recognisability.

Beautiful artefacts. Stomach churns in the face of a burnt-out horizon. Cantering & sneezing. Air is driven into the corners and creases of a gold-plated, reverberant structure. The neural network claps to keep itself in time. Gutter Synthesis organ lament; tears of the duffing oscillators. There are moments on this release when tensely divergent fragments are barely held together. The prominent human voice mixing with the heavily re-sampled voice—it’s an incredible lift. Superimposed night and day. Sonic creatures living within the material, sharing time and space. Tenderness and together-ness.
