Known for his icy and atmospheric sounds, APEAK is a part of Helsinki based Changeless label and has released two projects 'Grey Skies' & 'Empyrean' under it. APEAK has a sense for melodies sung by disembodied, synthesised voices meshed with cavernous drums and heady soundscapes that come together to form a distinct and singular palette. 
This mix for World Canvas features a cut-trough of the APEAK ethos from ambient and noise to sonics of contemporary club music and beyond.

World Canvas Mix 13 comes from UK-based artist Burning Pyre (Chris Owen). Having released albums and pieces of music on labels such as Opal Tapes, Eastern Nurseries and Perfect Aesthetics, Owen has  crafted a graceful approach to minimalistic ambient works with a sense of beauty in synth melodies intercutting with pop-inclined motifs and fragments.
On their World Canvas Mix, Burning Pyre presents a deeply focused journey of myriadic meditative tendencies - powerful, bright and hopeful instrumental music.

In this episode, at a moment in which it is difficult to think beyond the present, we consider queer notions of time, the future, and apocalypse, by speaking with Jack Halberstam, a queer theorist and Professor of Gender Studies and English at Columbia University. 

Jared talks with Jack on queer notions of forgetting, futurity, and the figure of the zombie in today’s popular imagination, as explored in his books such as 2011’s ‘The Queer Art of Failure’, and most recently ‘Wild Things: The Disorder of Desire’, published last year by Duke University Press.

Lugh - Re Munus (LP)

Format: Digital/Vinyl
Cat.No: CANVAS007
Release Date: 23rd of October 2020

‘
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.

DRONE OPERATØR RADIØ #2 — feat. luxxuryproblems

World Canvas is a cross-disciplinary platform for unconfined expressions of emotion. We strive to provide a home for artists on the fringes and backlots of contemporary art.
World Canvas is a blank surface, open to host audiovisual explorations, fictional fantasies and outcries of yearning.
