Dreamcycles - Future Lights and Archetypes

https://sitequeeste.bandcamp.com/album/future-lights-and-archetypes
Available 1 May 2020 exclusively on Bandcamp. Available 29 May 2020 on all digital platforms.

Dreamcycles, the moniker of Irish-Canadian artist Jennifer Moore, emerges from the ashen present to deliver her conceptual debut mini-album Future Lights and Archetypes. Operating at the node between technological reality and speculative fiction, Moore transforms ethereal bedroom pop and monolithic electronics into uncanny soundscapes to explore what she describes as the “landscape of a future global economy.”

Moore’s imagination conjures a new order of global governance which uses data to assess the competencies, characteristics, and productivity capacity of its citizens. Predictive analytics are used to shuttle humans around the globe in a tightly choreographed dance of space, labour and capital. Spanning a perspective both personal and systemic, the Dublin-based producer guides the listener through her sober invention, anchoring its alienating events around simple longings for home.

Across six tracks, present-day sonics are repurposed to create warped atmospherics. “If I wanted to see the world, I’d have to imagine it,” says a disembodied voice on opening track ‘Memory (Temporary Access)’. Pitter-patter footsteps, playing children, and whirring device noises swirl around the words: harsh, familiar, and ultimately unsettling. ‘Fonn Abhaile’ follows—its vaporous synths matched by breathy vocals—but ‘Abrasive Routes’ reveals the haunting potential of Moore’s psychoacoustic constructions. News report snippets detailing the Dublin financial district jostle with screeching high-definition cars. “It’s become the most extraordinary contrast to everything else here,” recites a roving correspondent, cataloguing inequalities suffused into the electronic artist’s home.

As the mini-album progresses, the emotional intensity rises. ‘Memory Laneways’ pairs an elegiac refrain with industrial kicks before ‘Playing with the Concrete’ offers a moment of brightness. “You look good when you’re smiling,” sings Moore over a distant sinogrime melody, followed by her closing, and most affecting track, ‘Final Goodbye.’ Meditations on belonging are swept along by circular, trance-like synths whose closing destination is bittersweet: euphoria tempered by the artist’s sombre backdrop.

Moore describes Future Lights and Archetypes as a “post-extraction artefact.” Through its diary entries, radio clippings, and fragmented songs, the mini-album resembles an object hewn from a fully-realised world, like an Ursula K. Le Guin novel refracted through machine learning. Keen listeners might also detect a flicker of Grouper’s place-based musings or even the crumbling electronics of Actress. But this release melds intimacy with pulsating stimuli, Moore’s gaze oriented firmly towards the human cost of an omniscient technological future.

Future Lights & Archetypes

Dreamcycles - Memory Laneways

Never Sleep 03 comes from Canada's finest Seekrsinternational.
Who Fyah Shot!? is a 7min long opus with propulsive melody, drum-less amplification and sonic wizardry. A compelling ode to the synergy of ragga, experimental and rave. Taking structures aimed at the dance floor and transporting them to inhabit the in-between spaces in our consciousness and psyche.

Healing Frequencies, completed in March 2020, brings together in a single mix and a pseudo-therapeutic program a series of tracks composed by Qoso over the last two years, ranging from pyschædelic drone-dub miniatures escaped from the recent Morning Routine (The Trilogy Tapes, 2019) to uplifiting house micro-bangers in the vein of the Monica EP (In Paradisum, 2013), through downtempo "vibes" with sweet voices that seem to have escaped from the Mo'Wax / SourceLabs era.

When Qoso's music addresses the capacity of music to "take care of yourself", it is not to parody or denounce this pretense. Rather, he grasps it with a generosity and wonder that draws directly from the ambivalence of this therapeutic function - which resonates in the pre-chewed script of a woman whispering "I want you to take care of me" on a worn-out breakbeat, or a male voice who describes the powers of incense, with an almost disturbing hint of indifference, and against a backdrop of oceanic flanger sounds.

Healing Frequencies thus takes Qoso's music to new spaces, to the strange familiarity of a pseudo-civilization where multicolored leisure reigns. It is evocative of the landscapes of Andorra filmed by Virgil Vernier, where fountains look like holograms, of the corridors of sports halls where the house hits of the last decade resonate distorted, for flashy counters which sell supernatural perfumes.

You can llsten to Healing Frequencies to "boost your karma" or for the pleasure of seeing the spectacle of intimacy and psychobiological management recompose itself in the distorting mirror of an attractive and perverse soundtrack.

Healing Frequencies, complété en mars 2020, rassemble dans un même mix en forme de pseudo-programme thérapeutique une série de morceaux composés par Qoso sur les deux dernières années, qui vont de miniatures drone-dub pyschédéliques échappées de la confection du récent Morning Routine (The Trilogy Tapes, 2019) à des micro-bangers de house uplifiting dans la veine du maxi Monica (In Paradisum, 2013), en passant par des morceaux downtempo agrémentées de voix suaves qu’on croirait échappées de l’époque Mo’Wax / SourceLabs.

Si la musique de Qoso aborde la capacité de la musique à « se faire du bien », ce n’est pas pour la parodier ou la dénoncer. Elle s’en empare plutôt avec une générosité et un étonnement qu’elle tire directement de l’ambivalence de cette fonction thérapeutique – sensible dans le script pré-mâché d’une femme qui susurre « j’ai envie que tu t’occupes de moi » sur un breakbeat usé jusqu'à la corde, comme à une autre qui décrit, avec une nuance d’indifférence presque inquiétante sur fond de flangers océaniques, les pouvoirs de l’encens. 

Healing Frequencies tire ainsi la musique de Qoso vers de nouveaux espaces, vers l'étrange familiarité d’une pseudo-civilisation du loisir multicolore, proche des paysages de l’Andorre filmée par Virgil Vernier où les fontaines ressemblent à des hologrammes, des couloirs de salles de sport où les tubes house de la dernière décennie résonnent déformés, ou de comptoirs clinquants où seraient vendus des parfums supernaturels.

Ecoutez Healing Frequencies pour « booster votre karma », ou pour le plaisir qu’il y a à voir le monde de l’intimité-spectacle et du management psychobiologique se recomposer dans le miroir déformant d’une bande-son séduisante et perverse.
