Chelsea Wolfe - Dusk (Ash Koosha Remix)

[dayasan]

As someone who followed generative AI art (particular music) long before most people had heard of it the current conversations about AI are incredibly mindnumbing. You guys do know you can make ethical training sets right? With only consenting parties or even solely your own works? Or that you can just code it yourself and it's not hosted on some random server halfway across the world but completely on your own hardware? Right???

Chelsea Wolfe announces the UNDONE EP, out August 30th via Loma Vista.

“She Reaches Out felt like the perfect record to have official remixes for since it’s themed so heavily with transformation,” says Wolfe. “I called in some artists I really respect to expand upon the sonic universe we created with Dave Sitek and it’s been such a treat and delight to hear each song come back transformed!”

I did not expect this series to be for me!

(The assumption was that I'd really basically nod off. Even IMDB likes it as the rating of the whole season is sitting on 8/10)

Because none of the episodes of 'Song Exploder' really were for me (I think I watched part of one?), so I guess my brain really wasn't on the lookout for more music related docuseries.

The episodes available (I actually read them before watching the first one) and the blurbs were actually instrumental in getting me to watch that first episode. Maybe I assumed that Apple wouldn't understand the kind of things I would find interesting?

Because looking at the music documentaries that are available barely aligns with my listening taste. I listen to Bruce Springsteen, but not as much as Dave Matthews or Max Richter. Even then...I think how I view Apple TV now...is more about reflecting the brand. Apple represents innovation, so it makes sense that there would be a lot of Science Fiction titles (to which I'm not complaining as 'Swan Song' was AMAZING!).

I think my impression of Autotune is that it's just one of those things...like a type of distortion....or a virtual instrument. So, I wasn't expecting to hear about what it actually does (map the throat of the singer to be able to identify the notes and move it to the closest one).

PS: The biggest surprise was I felt recharged and inspired! I would credit than to Mark's personal curiosity. There wasn't any arrogance at all, negativity or talking down....

...it was purely noodling...which could be the kind of thing I should keep an eye on when looking to increase my energy reserves.

PPS: So I guess it isn't a surprise that other viewers wouldn't be impressed? I thought the episode was a great start...and it made me step away for a period of time to make this post!

But if you want to be convinced if this is for you (and shell out for a month of Apple TV once your current streaming subscription runs out)...I was pleasantly surprised to find an interview with Mark on Vogue!

(I stopped reading...realising that it would be better for me to return when I've completed all the episodes.)

AKTAUL

New release from Ash Koosha is a pleasing addition to this Easter weekend if you are a fan of future focused electronic music - slightly more accessible than previous releases but no less creative:

Now singing on his tracks, Koosha describes AKTUAL as a sonic shift towards a new era for his compositions, simulating live instruments and creating an even more ‘Human’ kind of approach to his electronic music. AKTUAL is the first chapter of the ZUUM trilogy expressing visions of the future life. Each chapter discovering and revealing a single theme from his ideologies of the future. AKTUAL tends to explore actuality or the potential of actualisation by merging different realities. It explores our existence in fact and our effort of encompassing the ‘yet to be known’. At its core is the space between the known and unknown and seamless travel between the two. This continuous space, aims to make its inhabitants the most vulnerable to the extent that even language can’t save them. They are stripped to the core, to an uncertainty of the world that lets them experience the ambiguity of language by turning a song into sound/melody with no words, no bias and no judgement in between. Such ambiguity is reflected not only in language but in love and it reflects our own subjectivity: Something we are so certain about? Or are we? He puts actuality in the core of this discovery. Actuality becomes the core question that will affect our answers to the question about love, language and our own existence or perception of the world.

Ash Koosha tries to develop the work of his previous releases, but things feel disjointed.

Born in Iran and raised in London, beat wizard Ashkan Kooshanejad, better known by his alias Ash Koosha, broke into the electronic scene with debut album Guud in 2015. Taking the freneticism of Flying Lotus’ signature LA beat weirdness further, it seemed to spectators that Koosha could do no wrong. Guud was a monolith, dark and brooding, complex and suffocating, like Godspeed You! Black Emperor ditched the instruments for a MIDI keyboard and a DAW.

Koosha continued these motifs on his sophomore effort, IAKAI, but at a decidedly lower energy level, without moving the sonic palette forward.

On AKTUAL, Koosha channels the earlier energy of Guud, while exploring new ground through vocal performances. These sonic textures enable Koosha to accomplish more than his earlier efforts – he hits his highest high with track ‘TrappistOne’, a poised, delicate, and slowly-evolving piano composition that ebbs and flows its way to a subtle climax – denoted by the subtle introduction of a synthesizer into the bass.

However (and unlike earlier efforts), the inconsistent textures, sounds, and ideas do not complement the disjointed nature of this LP. The juxtaposition of more complex IDM pieces versus the sombre vocal performances makes AKTUAL feel more like a string of demos, with highs and lows, but a distinct lack of coherence. The album has lush sonic highs, but entirely misses any sense of binding theme or narrative, a context for any of these compositions.

As such, the album is reduced to a set of sketches, a B-side album from a man without the reputation to get away with it.

Artist: Ash Koosha. Label: Independent. Top Tracks: Magnet; Aktual II; TrappistOne; Aroha. For Fans Of: Holly Herndon; Arca; Flying Lotus; Actress. 34 minutes

Clap! Clap!

Italian producer Cristiano Crisci, aka Clap! Clap!, has so far released two incredible albums via British imprint Black Acre, both boasting a kaleidoscopic selection of samples and dangerous levels of bass. If you’ve heard them, you already know the score – if you haven’t, seek them out now before progressing.

Now we’re all up to speed, you’ll understand why Clap! Clap! would be one of the first producers you’d approach if you had access to a huge library of field recordings. Kudos then to the RE:VIVE Initiative, who invited him to make use of the extensive audio collection at Amsterdam’s Tropenmuseum, an extensive sonic archive begun in the 1920s by J.C. Lamster and Jaap Kunst (who later coined the term ‘ethnomusicology’).

The result is DIG! DELVE! DAMN! (Dutch Archive Edition), a free mini-album which makes use of recordings from Afghanistan, Suriname, Zambia, Bali, Libya, India, Uzbekistan and Morocco, all absorbed into Clap! Clap!’s trademark beat soup. “To have the honour of digging through the Dutch audio archives was like a dream come true!” the artist enthuses. “I was very excited to delve in and explore the vast differences between those countries. It was also an important responsibility to approach the project with respect for the sources of recordings, as many were from the ex-Colonies of the Netherlands.”
