PURE Guest.014 Fade

@pablodiserens is an artist, field recordist, composer, filmmaker and photographer based in Berlin (Germany) who engages with various topo- and phonographies with a wide range of visual and sonic recording techniques. 

✱ What is the inspiration and vision behind your music as Pablo Diserens?
My work is sparked by the world’s biomes and the non-human manifestations they shelter. With attentive and deep listening at the forefront of my practice, I navigate through environments mainly all ears and collect sounds through a plethora of recording techniques. I work with and share these sonic encounters with the aim of shifting people’s perspective and relationship with their surroundings and their neighbouring bio— and geologies. In other words, my work is an attempt at questioning and rethinking our place and caring for the globe’s habitats and communities.

✱What are some of your utopian dreams & musings?
My ideal utopia is one where interspecies kinship, caring and understanding are honoured. One where language isn’t only thought of as articulated speech, but instead understood as the numerous forms of communication, expression, and knowledge sharing that exist in the world’s ecologies. One where we listen to what moss, mollusks, insects, ice, and stones have to say. One where we pay attention. One where this language is punctuated and vitalized by possible hums.

✱ Can you share a little bit about what you’ve included in this mix?
In response to the dreamed utopia mentioned above, I’ve intertwined various animal, plant, and geological sonic manifestations with dronesque and electroacoustic gestures. Human speech makes a few appearances but either in honour of the stones or as purely deconstructed acoustic matter. It is animals, plants, and water that talk the most in this mix.

✱ Any forthcoming happenings for you in 2022 you'd like to share?
There are some exciting projects coming up this year. Some of them involve releases of electroacoustic pieces on A.V.A. and my label forms of minutiae, warm collaborations with loved ones, and if everything goes well the finalisation of my first short film since 2016.

Klofink [Retreat X Mutant Radio | Intonal] [21-23 April]

Long time NTS veteran and Apron affiliate SHAMOS heads a monthly late night slot. Expect a varied, yet consistently cohesive selection, as he joins the dots between rugged analog house, tripped out hip-hop, the punkier dregs of new wave and other leftfield cuts along the way.

AI Series Mix #005 - PEARL RIVER SOUND

German artist Lorica (fka Avbvrn), with previous releases in labels such as DECISIONS, early reflex, Display or Jerome, offers here what he calls a production mix, a recording made up of “children” or “ghosts” of tracks that have been completed and that, in a moment where he is slowly sharing tracks from his archive, might find their way out into the world at some point in the future.

At first glance, what attracts attention is the prospecting in less percussive terrains to delve into other more focused on certain ambient, dark ambient traditions. Indeed, the main idea behind the mix is inspired by how the physicality of sound manifests itself in “a physical space, what it does to environments and how it can draw us out of our present location and into new surroundings”. 

However, the most striking thing is the way these surroundings are built. In this respect, it would be appropriate to recall Gilles Deleuze’s research on the work of painter Francis Bacon. In “The Logic of Sensation”, Deleuze writes about ‘The Round Area, the Ring’, an operative field characterised by a space that surrounds an encrusted Figure, but which nonetheless “do not consign the Figure to immobility but, on the contrary, render sensible a kind of progression, an exploration of the Figure within the place, or upon itself”. 

In the mix, there are two main ways to unfold this concept. Firstly, the Figure can predominate with respect to others, changing due to the influence of the environment, affecting it in turn. Secondly, the figures are juxtaposed in such a way that they shape a weird, broken Figure made up of things that maybe should not be there. The great source of sounds used makes figures from different eras resonate, atavistic echoes degraded by the effect of the passage of time, or history, and in this sense it is hauntological. Listening to the mix, one has the sensation of going through haunted environments through which The Caretaker, Global Communication, burialesque forms, classical figures, Isolationism and nature sounds parade dim.

Dialektik Podcast #15 - Lorica

Manchester's Skam Records have earned something of a cult status over the last 30 years. Helmed by Andy Maddocks, the label has become synonymous with names like Gescom, Jega and Shadow Huntaz and built a huge family of producers who've returned to release on the imprint time and time again.

In the latter half of the 90s they became one the first labels to sign Boards of Canada and go on to release two of their early EPs; Hi Scores in '96 and Aquarius in '98. More recent movements have seen Skam keep it local, including Afrodeutsche's celebrated debut in 2018 and a second 12" from North Manc Beds, while last month saw the release of a They Can't Be Saved, a new album from James Ruskin & Mark Broom's Fear Ratio project.

Off the back of the release, Andy takes the reigns for today's mix to give us a taste of the label, past and present...

UVB76 is a kinematic act, capable of unleashing their visual interpretation of music, building music from field recordings and computer glitches or working on surround sound concerts and installations. Founders of the already iconic OVKLT records since 2013, dedicated to ritual music, ambient and the occult
side electronic music. The theatrical grimy duo fuses black magic and voodoo rituals with a rough, dub-
influenced sound and an intriguing predilection for noise and industrial.
