Review Reblog – Strië ~ Perpetual Journey
Perpetual Journey is inspired by the heartbreaking story of Laika the space dog, sent to an unwitting death in the most frightening of circumstances. Looking outside the capsule, the creature had no sense of scale, or purpose, or the weight of expectations. Instead she saw only the unfamiliar, spinning abyss. Since then, she’s become a figure of tragic nobility, when all she really wanted was to come back home.
But as with all of Strië‘s productions, there’s an additional layer of meaning. This isn’t just about the space dog. On a personal level, the artist has twirled between pseudonyms before announcing that she and Olga Wojciechowska are the same artist, merging her personas, in essence returning home. The cover art implies a capsule, and is echoed in the artist’s latest press photo, intimating that the artist is herself within a capsule, under scrutiny beyond what she desires, sent into…

Review Reblog – Bana Haffar ~ Matiere
It’s only the beginning of the year and I already feel swamped with new releases which is a good thing : )
You can get the release here
More here –
All manner of gorgeous tracks occupy Bana Haffar‘s Soundcloud page, many unreleased. The Los Angeles artist has been swiftly building her sonic resume over the past two years, and Matiere is her latest public declaration. This follow-up to last year’s Alif 12″ sees her continue to expand the length of her tracks into something resembling mini-sets; “Endo” and “Exo” are dual movements of the same work, at eighteen total minutes a light yet satisfying two course meal.
Much of Haffar’s work is with patches (see photo), but she keeps the shifts to a minimum here, preferring to approach the movements in different manners rather than to alter their base sound. As “Endo” begins, it sounds like the tuning of a bass guitar, demonstrating the range of the Make Noise modular synthesizer. One knows a song is going to break out; one simply doesn’t know when. The wait turns…

Reblog – Album of the Day: Phew, “Voice Hardcore” — Bandcamp Daily
“Her latest album, Voice Hardcore, takes this to the extreme. It features nothing but the sound of Moritani’s voice, often layered on top of itself or warped into new forms.”
“Voice Hardcore” is one of the more extreme projects from an artist long pushing beyond the norm.

10). Unlearning Black Sound in Black Artistry: Examining the Quiet in Solange’s A Seat At the Table
Kimberly Williams
On May 18th, 2017, Solange Knowles took viewers on an expedition as she glided, danced and “agonized” in a “joyful praise break” on the floor of New York City’s Guggenheim museum. Drawing from the museum’s narrative of introspection and multi-sensory connection, Solange’s performance of “An Ode To. . .” prompted viewers to relearn and reorient the melodies of A Seat at the Table (2016). Solange’s performance in this setting hearkened listeners to new concepts and emotions in the record they didn’t catch before as they consumed it. This begs the question– what other sonic elements have we neglected to identify in A Seat…
