Recebemos em 2007 nos escritórios do Antena este disco, sem nenhuma informação maior sobre ele além de um bilhete datilografado em folha de memorando:
“Excelentíssimos senhores,
“Apresentamos nosso trabalho para apreciação. Na possibilidade que lhes apraza, autorizamos divulgação. Cópias tanto do referido como deste memorando foram encaminhadas ao protocolo. Lhes encaminhamos bons votos de estima e consideração.”
Se entendemos bem – as informações da ficha técnica não são claras -, os autores do disco assinam como
JFCCF
JSQ
EBG
JBOF
Sem nenhum link de contato. E nunca tivemos um protocolo. Por quinze anos buscamos descobrir e contatar os autores. Não encontramos informação nenhuma. Mas, sim, gostamos do disco. Aqui está.

“I would like to make a Book that upsets men, that is like an open door and that leads them where they would never have consented to go, simply a door facing Reality.” – Artaud, Antonin. “El Ombligo de los Limbos/El pesa-nervios / The Navel of Limbos/The Nerve-weigher” (1925).
“How can you make the sound of a drop of water with synthesis…” – Maybe I could explain it employing academia, university knowledge or with the aid of YouTube or Wikipedia, but the truth is that I don’t know… for me sound is magic, from how it is produced to the manner through which it reaches our neurons, from how an apparatus plugged into an electrical current is capable of sounding like a musical instrument to how a turntable functions… and what can be said of digital sound… that It’s already black magic, magic-bits, magic-magic. But that question formulated by Ben (Bridet) in one of the first meetings in Sebastián Herrera‘s workshop, was the starting point of a sequence of random events that finally materialized in what you will hear in approximately 25 minutes, when you open (the) “Portal”, or even open the mind/ears to the journey that this sound convenes.
Like the Skylab offering its last signs of life before rushing into the Australian desert, Sebastián’s proposal starts with sounds from space, satellites, shooting stars, descending glissandos, and then begins a route accompanied by a constant beat, which secretly propels us towards different rhythmic environments, all of it growing until it ends in a brief pause in the middle of the track where synthetic sounds and percussions emerge between clouds of feedback delays, to then approach the final part with short and aggressive sound apparitions and impulses, repetitive and mechanical, accompanied by ghostly trumpets of the apocalypse announcing the final fall/ascension.
Welcome to the world of sound Sebastián, you discovered a half-open portal and you dared to cross it, with the compass of sensitivity and curiosity, well wrapped up, you opened a path with no turning back.

The modern living environment is fully transmedial. The subject is bound in the functionalities and workings of a cyborg, where the question of her rights becomes especially important. However, oozing through the network of different forces is the patriarchal white hetero cis matrix and the mechanism of disciplining, shaping and cultivating. The trans.fail chapter xenotopic.network relies on the concepts of foreign (xeno), space (topic/topos) and network as the primary sources of inspiration. These concepts can be understood and read in various ways, thus presenting the grounds for a critical reading of the world as a patchwork of possibilities:
“Technology isn’t inherently progressive. Its uses are fused with culture in a positive feedback loop that makes linear sequencing, prediction, and absolute caution impossible. Technoscientific innovation must be linked to a collective theoretical and political thinking in which women, queers, and the gender non-conforming play an unparalleled role. The real emancipatory potential of technology remains unrealized. Fed by the market, its rapid growth is offset by bloat, and elegant innovation is surrendered to the buyer, whose stagnant world it decorates.” (Laboria Cuboniks)
“… what is at stake is nothing less than a global redefinition of the relationship between territory and networks. There are major geopolitical rearrangements taking place right now across the entire stack, from physical infrastructure to information, financial and monetary networks. These are attempts at determining ‘digital territories’ and grappling with how to define and assert some sort of ‘digital sovereignty’ in network space. And cryptographic techniques are at the core of such emerging arrangements.” (Jaya Klara Brekke)
The single comes with a Lego Classic Space animation music video: https://youtu.be/S4dWDOW2dG0
Quiet Clapping is a project of Jonathan Deasy – guitarist, improviser, composer, splitting time between Ireland and France. “Among The Haze”, his debut on Mahorka, is a departure somewhat from the usual Quiet Clapping formula of long form 20 minute ambient compositions. The pieces here are shorter, saturated and brimming with emotion. Written while reading Borges and living through a pandemic.

Etched Traumas is more than happy to release ‘Colony’ by Martin Hoogeboom. ‘Colony’ is a soundscape work based on the sounds of ants. Martin says about ‘Colony’ :
“It might be an ethical concern to fill an ant’s nest with molten aluminum, to let it cool down, and to then dig it up. But this is the only way to get a building that looks like it has been designed by an alien architect.
Recent studies have shown that ants regularly communicate with each other by sound. Most ants have a natural washboard and plectrum built-in into their stomach. By rubbing these against each other, they create sound. This enables the queen to order her workers. Researchers can record these sounds, which are the basis of Colony, with the newest audio techniques.
I gave sound designer Theo Calis and trumpet player Ed van den Berkel the following instructions for improvisation: autumn forest, cold, blue sky, strong wind, chasing clouds. In the same forest where you are enjoying your walk, a superorganism is building complex colonies. Like aliens on a new planet.”

The work by these two relatives has been coming out for some time via sonic research, working solo and as part of different projects. But there’s a notorious link behind all the tapes, cables, knobs and electricity around them. They experiment connecting situations, controlling voltage, in order to create this “Raw Opera Vol.2”.
Polwor vs Baltazár take us to a crossroads of dreams, mystical delusions, and parallel universes, where we are able to see the Nexus of separation between this timeline and bypassing to the other side. Sometimes this work takes us somewhere else, feeling like listening to someone else’s daily life, the sounds we’re hearing like field recordings from a universe beyond, or situations we are prone to watch in fever, hallucinations that can perfectly be seen in altered states. “Raw Opera Vol.2” is without a doubt a good way to go.

Composed between 2020 and 2021, dreamlike and rarefied atmospheres in which the French horn
still colors most of the tracks.
Rhythms mix with the sandy distortions of guitars, drums and reverberations.
Melodies are always sparse and hypnotic. An unpolished sound is always preferred
but anyway intense, rather enhancing and “cradling” the “noise” created during the recordings.
With the aim of keeping the emotion and inspiration of the moment intact and crystal clear.

Waldgrenze (border of the forest) – the project of Theo Kovalev (Wave Resistance), focused on ambient and experimental electronic music, as well as acoustic sound production experiments and field recordings, is inspired by the ecological idea of friendly coexistence of two opposing sides – nature and technology. Born in joint improvisational jam sessions with other artists, the project eventually transformed and acquired its own sound character, retaining the original idea of the changes made to live recordings to preserve the feeling of “here and now”, where in each composition you can hear the unique state of different places.
The third Waldgrenze album “Ökoton” is dedicated to the boundary between Earth and space in order to emphasize the unity of people living on a tiny planet in the middle of the infinity. The word ecotone was coined from a combination of eco(logy) plus -tone , from the Greek oikos (house) and tonos (tension) – in other words, a place where ecologies are in tension.

During the Pandemic that we have all lived through, we have had to modify our habitual behaviors and adapt to circumstances that, until not so long ago, seemed to only exist in the most dystopian imagination. Each one of us has dealt with their ghosts in their own way. I have found mine, returning to the habit of leaving the city to photograph whatever the Magellanic landscape could offer me. And I photographed the most solitary places of the steppe, going into those interior paths that few people travel. There are no human beings in these images, but there is the mark they have left, in the form of abandoned buildings corroded by time. Old houses and empty sheep stalls. Little shrines raised on the side of the road in memory of people who never returned home. Machine gun nests where soldiers waited for a war that never came. Remains of a forest burned by ranchers decades ago. And in the midst of all this, the non-human inhabitants who continue their eternal wandering through the land of the Aonikenk, today crossed by barbed wire that the guanacos jump until they get entangled and die.
Today I share with you the result of a creative exercise: composing and recording music inspired by this photographic record of Magellanic solitude, in a very short time and only using synthesizers, electric bass and an electroacoustic guitar. By doing this I wanted to draw a more complete vision of how I see my habitat and what catches my attention about it. With images and sounds I can express in a deeper way than with words the sensation of strangeness and melancholy that certain places produce in me. And thus reveal new textures under the hard light that illuminates this boundary. I hope you enjoy this brief visual and sonic pass through places where it is easy to imagine that the world has already ended. Because I believe that what would come after our disappearance will be just as calm as that interior path I love to lose myself on.
