Double clear vinyl, 180gr. w/ booklet
Analogue Foundation
Release Date: April 1st 2022

Written and conceived by Stephan Crasneanscki, ‘LOVOTIC’ is a concept album by Soundwalk Collective, composed in collaboration with lauded actress and singer/songwriter Charlotte Gainsbourg, Featuring veteran techno stalwart Atom™, rising singer/composer/performance artist Lyra Pramuk, celebrated actor Willem Dafoe, and writer/philosopher Paul B. Preciado, the album will be available from April 1st via the new Berlin-based Analogue Foundation.

Inspired by a relatively new field of research that seeks to explore and develop the possibilities of sexual and emotional relationships – and even love – between humans and robots, ‘LOVOTIC’ interrogates the impulses, ideas, and needs underlying this phenomenon. The project ventures into a future where sex, intimacy and desire are reformulated through the connection of humans, robotics, and artificial intelligence.

In an age of such hybrid entanglement with the machine, human identity requires the construction of new forms of intimacy, gender, and sexuality. At present, however, such technologies are primarily used to produce programs of limited sexual iterations that do not question the preformatted categories of gender and sexual orientation. In contrast, on ‘LOVOTIC’, Soundwalk Collective ask whether the future of sex and sexuality could instead be an exponentially expanding kaleidoscope. Where does the impulse of preference come from? What sets of words from our vocabulary can be communicated to the AI mind to generate a new identity for desire? Could the machine be another technology that brings us closer together?

Sonically ‘LOVOTIC’ is unidentifiable, artificial, and genuinely futuristic, occupying an amorphous androgynous netherworld at the borderlands between biotic and android. Traditional musical signposts are virtually non-existent, instead offering a mercurial, formless sound which mirrors the flourishing of gender fluidity it suggests could be on the horizon.

‘LOVOTIC’ is available as an artist edition double LP pressed on transparent vinyl, featuring a  hand engraving on each side. It includes a 16-page booklet containing lyrics and painted artwork, both by Stephan Crasneanscki.

We’re moving on to the 44th episode of Podcats and this time around we got the pleasure of having Malmö-based DJ/producer Ezana with us in the ether for a short but smooth ride! 

Ezana (formerly known as Ezzo Fresh) is a music producer based in Malmö, originally hailing from Lund, Sweden. He’s the co-founder of the Malmö-based  producer-collective So&Such and the founder of On Cite - an initiative that expands the where and when of music production through event concepts like Beat Tech Fest and Pass-The-Aux.

Ezana started producing music in 1998 and had a brief encounter with recording to tape. It didin’t take long until he was fully immersed in a digital production environment and used sampling as his main method. His sound is strongly influenced by late 90s and 2000s Hip-hop, R&B, Dancehall and House, and he quickly developed an exploratory approach to music production and DJing.

The 44th episode of Podcats is a journey into pronounced drums, vocal chops, melodies and bass. We get a glimpse of some vocals, but mostly instrumentals. For Ezzo, it represents a chill random Tuesday morning, early spring, searching for inspiration. It ends with a demo of a home-made beat in courtesy of Ezana that blends a Brazilian rhythm with simple synthetic chords, percussion, Missy Elliot and Donkey Kong.
