Contemporary electronic music scene in Poland is blooming, with dozens of artists putting their own personal twists on many genres. They yet remain to be discovered, since Polish music still lacks PR that would allow it a regular coverage in the international media. That's why first of all I'd like to thank Rob very much for agreeing to present this special series of mixes and creating this opportunity.

(Day Three) Jakub Lemiszewski   

I rarely visit Warsaw, so I only knew Jakub Lemiszewski as a member of garage rock band Graveyard Drug Party and the noise rock / black metal Śierść. I also heard some of his solo plunderphonic work. His turn into footwork was great surprise to me, but I've had a pleasure of seeing Jakub Lemiszewski's live sets twice this year and I'm convinced he has found his calling.

The first time the club was unfortunately almost empty, but I was still very impressed. The way he worked out drums was staggering - stripped down, raw, pummelling, with minimal use of samples.

The second time I was unfortunate to follow him with a DJ set and you can imagine I fell a bit flat - the fastest track I had prepared was the Angel-Ho remix of "Angel Calling Embaci". It was Orange Milk evening, so… Seing people sweating their worries away to his music was the evening's highlight though.

This mix will give you a glimpse of his relentless style, as he has included some of his tracks, including my fav "OBSERVED" from "DAAAMN", his album released on Polish Juke. If you want to follow his other non-dance activities, Sierść has also self-released a new album "It's Easy".

FELICIA ATKINSON 'Hand In Hand' (Shelter Press SP081)

OUT ON MAY 4TH, 2017 on 2XLP / CD / DL
INFO / ORDER : http://shelter-press.org/felicia-atkinson-hand-in-hand/

Distribution : Boomkat (EU/UK/ROW) — Forced Exposure (USA)
—

Félicia Atkinson new full length album, ‘Hand In Hand’ is an expanded development of her musical compositions started with the highly-acclaimed
A Readymade Ceremony released on Shelter Press in 2015, and follows her collaborative effort with Jefre Cantu-Ledesma Comme Un Seul Narcisse (Shelter Press, 2016).

Composed over the year of 2016 at EMS during a snow storm and at home in Brittany, Hand in Hand could be considered as the most ambitious body of work recorded by the French musician and artist.

Doubt and Optimism are the two sides of a same coin. Hand in Hand is arid and warm in its whole synchrony and opposition. Days are burning and nights are made of ice. Coyotes are exchanging sounds with rattles snakes while bunnies are hiding. Strident modular sounds are tearing apart minimal beats and drones. The stories told by A Voice to the auditor are no longer fictions and become slowly reality.

Electric waves transmitted by living creatures and machines seem to deliver special sounds and frequencies that only non-human can hear. They grow and vibrate despite of the walls and interdictions. Therefore, the human who is listening to this record might find in it a particular kind of emotion a way to take space in silence, and frame a certain vision of thinking while losing a certain notion of time, acknowledging step by step its universal environment. Plants, galaxies, animals, machines, Hand in Hand.

This record is meant to be a moment of common thinking and listening in its diversity and abstraction. In the same way a sci-fi novel by Philip K. Dick or a sculpture by Guy Mees can be percieved: trivial, sensitive and mysterious at the same time.

The opening track, I’m Following You is a bleached romantic ballad for Fender Rhodes that could be the ending title of a Martian love story, whereas Visnaga praises the resources of a desert plant through asmr voices, field recordings and evasive chords. A House A Dance A Poem is a feminist hymn composed as a pyramidal structure, referring in the same time to the A-frame houses, the yoga position of the triangle, the first letter of the roman alphabet and the feminine sex. In the closing song, No Fear But Anticipation, Atkinson offers an open hearted plea about the existentialist necessity of finding desire even when the times seem too dark to think about it. A telepathic and non-scholastic anthem for Don Delillo, Joan Didion and Jean Paul Sartre. The final Buchla sounds that close the record seem to deliver an unspeakable message that only birds and aliens could transcript.

The echo of the 80’s sci-fi anxious aethetics resonates with today’s transparency of digital sounds in the whole record. The cohabitation of simple midi textures and historical Serge and Buchla signals are convoked and confronted together by A Voice. The human instrument appears here as the epicenter of the recordings, giving to the others instruments a gravitational point.

Joan La Barbara, Robert Ashley or Delia Derbyshire are the main influences of Atkinson in their own way of inviting fiction, composition and abstraction as the essential materials of composition. For Hand In Hand, Félicia Atkinson used different sources for the lyrics and scores of her tracks: house plant instruction books, Desert Magazine old issues, architecture manuals, JG Ballard and K. Dick’s books, as well as her own poetry.

Félicia Atkinson will premiere Hand In Hand for GRM’s festival Presences Electroniques with a 16 channels diffusion. A 7 hours extended version of the record, conceived as an evironmental audio book will be broadcasted for 2 months at La Criée Center for Contemporary Art from April 1 to May 31 in Rennes (FR).

Visnaga

FELICIA ATKINSON 'Visnaga' (SP081)

For his third release on Astro Nautico, Michael Beharie utilizes four distinct voices to create a diverse and engaging EP. 

On lead single 'Drugs Store', his own melancholy vocals drift over close-mic'd acoustic guitar, floor-shaking sub-bass and signature cosmic-baroque instrumentation, a glittery and sensual approach to post-internet song form.
