this is wait
this is i did not know they made smoke like ocean
this is aluminum dusk and sulphur clouds
this is sabah el kheir
morning of luck
morning of cinder
this is steam and ruin and flash-lit bodies
this is counting your lost
this is losing count
this is man greets dawn with head tilted back
this is man greets dawn with shrapnel
this is i cannot count fast enough
sam7ini

this is daughter
this is i am half yours
half light thrust, midwifed from some candle
this is some parallel life where my
father’s father took a left,
grabbed a fistful of soil and instead of leaving,
stayed

this is diaspora
this is always through the television screen
this is always the wrong question
this is five other coastlines
this is gutless
this is don’t change the channel
the least you can do is watch
this is diaspora
this is carry your name in bangkok
carry your name in brooklyn
this is wrecking ball of compass

this is wait
this is i did not know they made sky so famished
this is metal,
reincarnation of metal,
of children limp grey dust beneath
buckled buildings
this is sky of knives
this is body is not body but silhouette ribcage
and shallow graves
this is history

this is i did not know this earth had jaw
enough to hold all the things your children 
have dropped
this is village
this is village eats ash for a week
this is Allah
this is boys terrace bones for luck
this is girls press flowers for luck
this is what luck is it to survive one bullet
for another
this is black water and phosphorus fish
this is lost electricity
this is hands muddy from sifting through rubble
this is hands muddy for anything breathing
this is seven types of illness
this is rage is bread if it keeps you alive

this is Allah ou akbar
pray with both hands
this is hands and cathedral bones,
dirt in eyelash
this is teeth and teeth and teeth for months

this is daughter
this is carry your name in throat
carry your name in beirut
this is not gun
this is not missile
this is make the world say your name aloud
over Gaza and over Gaza and over Gaza
until they hear your music
because this is survived

this is you are loved
light spans for you over land and sea
and you are in the mouth of tripoli shoreline 
and boston nightclub and paris street corner
this is voice too soft sam7eena
this is sam7eena

this is daughter
lamplight reciting of Fatiha
this is wait and atlas
and keep waiting as some thread stretches 
gossamer thin across ocean
this is compass finding east
voice learning to rise
this is half yours
this is daughter
and we will carry your name everywhere

The newest vinyl release from 29 Speedway, UltraBody, is a compilation record featuring the music of Jake Muir, Pent & Dylan Kerr, Nexcyia & mu tate, James K, Flora Yin-Wong, Ex Wiish & Dorothy Carlos, Kamran Sadeghi, Tati au Miel, James Hoff, Eric Frye, qwqwqwqwa & sop.io, Muein, & Maxwell Sterling. The record is emblematic of the artists who have performed at 29 Speedway shows in New York and Europe over the past two years, and is the third in a series released by the label.

The first single, ‘Sans Titre’ by Nexcyia & Mu Tate, is out now. 

The LP is available for pre-order on Rubadub, Boomkat, and Bandcamp.  

UltraBody investigates how the self, spirituality, and language are intertwined with the intervention of subjectivity by new technologies. With increasingly sophisticated tech, and the supposed ability to remake the world and ourselves, what differentiates our individual discretion from the will imposed upon us by software? Quoting Walter Chaw, “Decades of rampant, unregulated and ill-considered technological leaps have begun to evolve, to mutate, humans at a biological level”. This haphazard acceleration towards a techno-utopic transformation of humanity has faulted, and as William Gibson put it wisely, is leading us to live in a “half assed singularity”. In this reality, artistic processes are influenced by excessive access to computational tools and assistance, but not utterly controlled. 

On UltraBody, sound has no separate existence from space.

Nexcyia & mu tate - Sans Titre

The newest release from 29 Speedway, UltraBody, is a compilation record featuring the music of Jake Muir, Pent & Dylan Kerr, Nexcyia & mu tate, James K, Flora Yin-Wong, Ex Wiish & Dorothy Carlos, Kamran Sadeghi, Tati au Miel, James Hoff, Eric Frye, qwqwqwqwa & sop.io, Muein, & Maxwell Sterling.

The record investigates how the self, spirituality, and language are intertwined with the intervention of subjectivity by new technologies. With increasingly sophisticated tech, and the supposed ability to remake the world and ourselves, what differentiates our individual discretion from the will imposed upon us by software? Quoting Walter Chaw, “Decades of rampant, unregulated and ill-considered technological leaps have begun to evolve, to mutate, humans at a biological level”. This haphazard acceleration towards a techno-utopic transformation of humanity has faulted, and as William Gibson put it, is leading us to live in a “half assed singularity”. In this reality, artistic processes are influenced by excessive access to computational tools and assistance, but not utterly controlled.

This in-between state of dominion is explored on UltraBody. “Incoherences” samples the utterances of Dylan Kerr’s voice processed between Pent’s percolated glazes, muddying the gulf between vaporous ambient and reflexive sound design. The voice on James Hoff’s “A... ...Cha.... A... I feel l” was created by trying to get voice cloning technology to sing a gps data stream, the music an extrapolation from an earworm he got stuck in his head while shopping in Kyoto. On “Plogue Chain”, Eric Frye’s most speculative sci-fi observations spiral into a glazed pool of digital cacophony, while Kamran Sadeghi’s “Formula Fiction” is an experiment in (un)controlled generativity. Incorporating minimal pings from a 3D simulation scene based on gravitational interaction, cello bits evolve on “Assimilation”, a collaboration between Ex Wiish & Dorothy Carlos.

On UltraBody, sound has no separate existence from space.

About VA : COLLAGE
If it appeared right before you, just for a second, would you either walk this fleeting path or let it vanish in a blink, hidden forever beyond the fine lining of your eyelid? Taking the road to nowhere can be tempting, just as the urge to leave everything behind. Paradoxically, embracing the void feels so fulfilling - but isn’t acceptance part of the grief? We’re all searching for our own secret place, where inner peace could finally grow from its embryonic stasis.

Much like that uncertain trail, the present 'Collage' compilation charts a course through the soft, dreamy side of contemporary electronic music. Designed either for the club or a living room, this ethereal patchwork of 14 tracks is woven from silk-like sound design. ambient techno, experimental, IDM, atmospheric dub sonic - each genre highlights in turns ultra-stretched audio spectrums, smooth instrumental lines, introspective reverberations or digital breaks.

After Jonnnah’s ‘The Next Kingdom’ - debut LP published earlier this year, this second release embodies the label’s musical ethos once again: cold yet heartwarming textures, celestial synths and volatile rhythms.

ᵖʳᵉᵐⁱᵉʳᵉ ϙue x Comechelet — Пізнання льодовикового рельєфу [Second End Records]

season 2

are we dead

Pre-order: https://wherethetimegoes.bandcamp.com/album/frog-of-earth

The humble Frog of Earth ponders nothing as it watches its world unfold. Surprised with a sprinkling of rain the Frog quickly becomes overwhelmed and we hear the bubbling of its brain. As the shower passes, the Frog settles into a stupefied calmness and we can hear the swirling water rushing by and the clarity of the air. As panicking birds swoop and flutter around, the Frog is overcome by a fascination and an acceptance of its world. However, as a screeching train approaches and roars by, the Frog is taken from its acceptance and inverted into a world of denial and confusion where faint questions of how and why have seemingly no answer. But as the sun beams out from behind the clouds, the quiet drone of a bee goes by and the Frog, seeing its own glistening reflection, deftly lets go of its questions, and the need of any answers.

Frog of Earth is the debut LP by the Frog of Earth, and is available now to pre-order via bandcamp in single disc 12" vinyl, and in all digital formats. 

Worldwide distribution handled by Rubadub.
