"I stood here, and saw before me the unutterable, the unthinkable gulf that yawns profound between two worlds, the world of matter and the world of spirit; I saw the great empty deep stretch dim before me, and in that instant a bridge of light leapt from the earth to the unknown shore, and the abyss was spanned.”
– Arthur Machen

Commissioned new work from contemporary sound practitioners and other audio choices from experimental electronic collective The Spirit of Gravity.

This month: a reflective episode on the remembering and misremembering of childhood from adulthood, SubPhonics has used this month to discuss early beginnings and strange, nearly psychedelic experiences from being little. We have also been creating pieces that explore the importance of play and how to facilitate this into adulthood.

Featuring: Suzie Shrubb, Helen Tate, Erin Robinson, Nia Fekri, Lewis Baxter, David Williams, Toby Edwards, Giulio Dal Lago and Jamie Turner.

Mateo Amaral is a multidisciplinary artist who develops his work using techniques such as drawing and painting, three-dimensional digital animation, distortion of video through software errors, exploration of audiovisual noise and production of electronic music.

His research leads him to experiment with hypnotic audiovisual landscapes, drawing parallels between primitive digital aesthetics and the individual construction of the reality model. All his work revolves around "Una piedra negra", an expanded feature film project that produces short films, paintings, installations, virtual reality pieces and live audiovisual performances.

In 2016, he was the winner of the first Virtual Reality award within the ITAU prize for visual arts. In addition to his individual work, he formed the artistic collective Oligatega with which in 2003 he was a scholar in the program of workshops dictated by Guillermo Kuitca and participated in the work clinics of Diana Aisemberg.

His work was exhibited at the Cultural Center of Belgrade (Serbia), Museum of Modern Art of Buenos Aires, at the festivals ArtFutura, Mutek, Sonar, Robot and Trimarchi, at Artists' Television Access (San Francisco, USA), Museum of Contemporary Art of Castilla y León (Spain), Art Basel (Switzerland) and the Experimentation Center of the Teatro Colón (Buenos Aires).

In this episode, Dronica meets Scual and dThed for our monthly guest mix on Resonance Extra.

Scual and dTHEd are collaborating for a new audio/visual work, due to be published later this year on Stochastic Resonance.

The mix, in its first half, will introduce the work with a bespoke live performance, and will carry on with some sounds that have been companions of the development process of the project in recent months.

Scual – Special Cures for Uncurable Anesthetized Lovers – is a multidisciplinary project started by Lorenzo Cco in late 2006. Born as an experimental web platform for the collection and publication of multidisciplinary projects, as results of personal works and collaborations. It then moved onto the physical plane, first with the activity of vjing, then by proposing multimedia performances and installations.

Its aesthetic research focuses on the permeation of different media categories, synthesized through the digital process, emphasizing the distortions and discontinuities that occur between those passages. Scual is one of the initiatives behind the creation of the network of artistic research, Stochastic Resonance

dTHEd is a multidisciplinary art trio inspired by the dilemmas stemming from neurodiversity (e.g. ASD) and the anthropocene (e.g. hyperobjects).
They do: music, graphics, videos, interviews, talks, performances, concerts, prints, VR, social experiments and sensory explorations in order to raise awareness, through unexpected beauty.

Merrie Melodias is back with a new series and new rubrics! And that means new digger discoveries are waiting for you from the bottomless catalogue of the Soviet major label Melodia. As is good tradition, we start with an episode about folk music. This episode features melodies from Central Asia, the Lesser Caucasus, the Baltic States, Africa and South America and other countries of the world.

This episode highlights the intersection of the sound of the world's three main musical instruments - the lute, the lyre and the reed pipe - with each country having its own modification and name. This is the story of how the sound of a Burundian funk band's electric guitar transforms into the trill of an Uzbek dutar, the sigh of an Azerbaijani zurna turns into the moan of an Armenian duduk, and the tinkling strings of a Paraguayan harp turn into the dreamy chords of a Madagascar valiha.

Uzbekistan-based DJ and boss of the experimental TOPOT label Eugenie Galochkin presents rare vinyl rips from the Soviet Melodia label. Melodia has released music from all around the world: from obscure Baltic electronica and free jazz from Siberia; to synth-pop from Tajikistan and academic avant-garde from Ukraine. The series will explore how national and cultural characteristics are embedded in musical language.

Nostalgia for the Androgynous unfolds an ethereal-telluric space for voices and concrete sound, generative drones creating arcane sounds, lo-fi recordings, lyrical witchcraft, high-hovering voices, dazed and processed in glossolalic harmonies progressively embodied in organic and mineral scenarios. Occult soundscapes melt alternative listening paths in a cathartic collision, haunting and refreshing at a time, an atmosphere of ascent and intimacy, ambiguous, nostalgic, and visceral.

Serena Dibiase is an experimental vocalist, sound artist, performer, poet. She identifies her artistic and sound productions with the androgynous name Kratu. She carries out her artistic investigation starting from intense physical/respiratory practices and through analogue and not-analogue devices, to listen to radical phonic geographies, choral happenings, interventions on biophonies and geophonies extracted from explorations in abandoned, wild, industrial spaces, in a horizontal treatment of the sources.

She collaborates as a sound dramaturg and performer with independent theatre companies, and also working for Biennale Teatro ’22-’23 and disseminating her research in Italian and international festivals. She collaborates as artistic consultant in contexts of social hardship (jale, community outreach centre for addicts), considering these incursions into her broader spectrum of anthro-poetic research. He has been leading Mouth of the landscape, a transversal vocal training and listening workshop. Her EP Nostalgia for the Androgynous released by Oceani Label.
