Review @ Means Magazine :

Described as being “like Harold Budd and Oval playing in the same room,” WHΛLTHISИEY is the haunted ambient project of Fernando Cerqueira. Residing in Lisbon, Cerqueira is the co-founder of the Portuguese Thisco label and founding member of the late 80’s SPH Tapes label, whose releases include works by Merzbow and Jim O´Rourke.

Combining drone and minimalist glitch with impressionist piano atmospheres, WHΛLTHISИEY’s intimate music seeks to mix the past with the present, drawing beauty from the commonplace to give it life again via a mirror that absorbs and reflects. Everything flows, is constantly in flux in WHΛLTHISИEY’s music, always becoming but never being. As the artist themselves states: “WHΛLTHISИEY is repetition and out of repetition, comes variation, out of variation comes iteration, out of iteration, comes creation.”

Running just shy of three-minutes, ‘Chain fraction’ is a concise micro study in melancholic murmurs, one which rewards being played on an endless loop to welcome in the smeary-eyed dawn after a post-rave comedown. It is an ambient soundtrack for the lost and lonely souls walking around nameless labyrinthine streets at 3am with nowhere to go. WHΛLTHISИEY has magicked an illusory sense of place, one that is nowhere, somewhere off the map, desolate and crumbling – a liminal space where Basinski’s deteriorating tape loops reverberate around Burial’s foggy, barren wastelands. Chain fraction runs a sighing sonic bath that bubbles with a bittersweet tenderness.

As delicate piano fragments slow dance over a shimmering lake of chained digital pulses and hypnotic, swelling drones, the mood remains fragile and on the cusp of disintegration. Emotionally heavy, with a strong sense of loss, the track circles with a soothing yet sad déjà vu, reeling in waves of nostalgia where every iteration of the melodic refrain reveals a more powerful punch. The music is blissful and pure escapism, but it is blemished with the ringing thoughts that escape may not yet be possible – that, for now, we have to continue slow walking like living ghosts around the endless spirals of Borgean streets.

Across their sea of releases, WHΛLTHISИEY’s music remains touched by an emotional weight, an anxious calmness sailing across lulling dronescapes and drifting ambience, with some featuring spoken word samples which expands any imagined story vignettes. WHΛLTHISИEY has many releases to explore across labels which include ‘Shanthisdeva’ on Fallen Moon, ‘Thisowned’ (https://mahorka.bandcamp.com/album/thisowned) on Mahorka, and ‘Quiethism’ from Kahvi Collective.

Chain fraction appears on the MEANS compilation album Living Within Our Means Vol 1.

You can explore and support WHΛLTHISИEY’s music on Bandcamp, where you can find a wide range of solo and collaborative works, including ‘THING’, a split CD released through Attenuation Circuit with WHΛLTHISИEY, The Phlod-Nar, el_masmore, and Claus Poulsen.

Well, it's been a big week, full of anticipation. But we're here now and the end is in sight.

That's right, it's Bandcamp Friday.I have two excellent new releases up for pre-order and you should definitely check them out.

Firstly, tape loop mage Stuart Chalmers is back, this time with Claus Poulsen! Recorded entirely live this is a collection of erratic, eccentric miniatures, each with their own slightly warped personality. Swarmandal, Casio Sk1 and globs of alien sound.

Next, we welcome the legendary Anna Homler (aka Breadwoman!) to Blue Tapes, performing here with koto player Liz Falconer. We've partnered them with the magnificent Korean gayageum trio Heystring for an absolute bomb of an EP.

Pre-order on tape or digital from just £3 over at https://bluetapes.bandcamp.com/

When Rokhaia Naassan gives birth in the coming days, she and her baby boy will enter a new category in the eyes of Danish law. Because she lives in a low-income immigrant neighborhood described by the government as a “ghetto,” Rokhaia will be what the Danish newspapers call a “ghetto parent” and he will be a “ghetto child.”

Starting at the age of 1, “ghetto children” must be separated from their families for at least 25 hours a week, not including nap time, for mandatory instruction in “Danish values,” including the traditions of Christmas and Easter, and Danish language. Noncompliance could result in a stoppage of welfare payments. Other Danish citizens are free to choose whether to enroll children in preschool up to the age of six.

Denmark’s government is introducing a new set of laws to regulate life in 25 low-income and heavily Muslim enclaves, saying that if families there do not willingly merge into the country’s mainstream, they should be compelled.

For decades, integrating immigrants has posed a thorny challenge to the Danish model, intended to serve a small, homogeneous population. Leaders are focusing their ire on urban neighborhoods where immigrants, some of them placed there by the government, live in dense concentrations with high rates of unemployment and gang violence.

Politicians’ description of the ghettos has become increasingly sinister. In his annual New Year’s speech, Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen warned that ghettos could “reach out their tentacles onto the streets” by spreading violence, and that because of ghettos, “cracks have appeared on the map of Denmark.” Politicians who once used the word “integration” now call frankly for “assimilation.”

That tough approach is embodied in the “ghetto package.” Of 22 proposals presented by the government in early March, most have been agreed upon by a parliamentary majority, and more will be subject to a vote in the fall.

Some are punitive: One measure under consideration would allow courts to double the punishment for certain crimes if they are committed in one of the 25 neighborhoods classified as ghettos, based on residents’ income, employment status, education levels, number of criminal convictions and “non-Western background.” Another would impose a four-year prison sentence on immigrant parents who force their children to make extended visits to their country of origin — described here as “re-education trips” —in that way damaging their “schooling, language and well-being.” Another would allow local authorities to increase their monitoring and surveillance of “ghetto” families.

Some proposals have been rejected as too radical, like one from the far-right Danish People’s Party that would confine “ghetto children” to their homes after 8 p.m. (Challenged on how this would be enforced, Martin Henriksen, the chairman of Parliament’s integration committee, suggested in earnest that young people in these areas could be fitted with electronic ankle bracelets.)

At this summer’s Folkemodet, an annual political gathering on the island of Bornholm, the justice minister, Soren Pape Poulsen, shrugged off the rights-based objection.

“Some will wail and say, ‘We’re not equal before the law in this country,’ and ‘Certain groups are punished harder,’ but that’s nonsense,” he said, adding that the increased penalties would affect only people who break the law.

To those claiming the measures single out Muslims, he said: “That’s nonsense and rubbish. To me this is about, no matter who lives in these areas and who they believe in, they have to profess to the values required to have a good life in Denmark.”

Yildiz Akdogan, a Social Democrat whose parliamentary constituency includes Tingbjerg, which is classified as a ghetto, said Danes had become so desensitized to harsh rhetoric about immigrants that they no longer register the negative connotation of the word “ghetto” and its echoes of Nazi Germany’s separation of Jews.

“We call them ‘ghetto children, ghetto parents,’ it’s so crazy,” Ms. Akdogan said. “It is becoming a mainstream word, which is so dangerous. People who know a little about history, our European not-so-nice period, we know what the word ‘ghetto’ is associated with.”

She pulled out her phone to display a Facebook post from a right-wing politician, railing furiously at a Danish supermarket for selling a cake reading “Eid Mubarak,” for the Muslim holiday of Eid. “Right now, facts don’t matter so much, it’s only feelings,” she said. “This is the dangerous part of it.”

For their part, many residents of Danish “ghettos” say they would move if they could afford to live elsewhere. On a recent afternoon, Ms. Naassan was sitting with her four sisters in Mjolnerparken, a four-story, red brick housing complex that is, by the numbers, one of Denmark’s worst ghettos: forty-three percent of its residents are unemployed, 82 percent come from “non-Western backgrounds,” 53 percent have scant education and 51 percent have relatively low earnings.

The Naassan sisters wondered aloud why they were subject to these new measures. The children of Lebanese refugees, they speak Danish without an accent and converse with their children in Danish; their children, they complain, speak so little Arabic that they can barely communicate with their grandparents. Years ago, growing up in Jutland, in Denmark’s west, they rarely encountered any anti-Muslim feeling, said Sara, 32.

“Maybe this is what they always thought, and now it’s out in the open,” she said. “Danish politics is just about Muslims now. They want us to get more assimilated or get out. I don’t know when they will be satisfied with us.”

Rokhaia, her due date fast approaching, flared with anger at the mandatory preschool program approved by the government last month: Already, she said, her daughter was being taught so much about Christmas in kindergarten that she came home begging for presents from Santa Claus.

“Nobody should tell me whether or how my daughter should go to preschool. Or when,” she said. “I’d rather lose my benefits than submit to force.”

Barwaqo Jama Hussein, 18, a Somali refugee, noted that many immigrant families, including her own, had been settled in “ghetto” neighborhoods by the government. She moved to Denmark when she was 5 and has lived in the Tingbjerg ghetto area since she was 13. She said the politicians’ description of “parallel societies” simply did not fit her, or Tingbjerg.

“It hurts that they don’t see us as equal people,” she said. “We actually live in Danish society. We follow the rules, we go to school. The only thing we don’t do is eat pork.”

About 12 miles south of the city, in the middle-class suburb of Greve, though, voters gushed with approval over the new laws.

“They spend too much Danish money,” said Dorthe Pedersen, a hairdresser, daubing chestnut dye on a client’s hairline. “We pay their rent, their clothing, their food, and then they come in broken Danish and say, ‘We can’t work because we’ve got a pain.’”

Her client, Anni Larsen, told a story about being invited by a Turkish immigrant to their child’s wedding and being scandalized to discover that the guests were separated by gender and seated in different rooms. “I think there were only 10 people from Denmark,” she said, appalled. “If you ask me, I think they shouldn’t have invited us.”

Anette Jacobsen, 64, a retired pharmacist’s assistant, said she so treasured Denmark’s welfare system, which had provided her four children with free education and health care, that she felt a surge of gratitude every time she paid her taxes, more than 50 percent of her yearly income. As for immigrants using the system, she said, “There is always a cat door for someone to sneak in.”

“Morally, they should be grateful to be allowed into our system, which was built over generations,” she said.

In Denmark, Harsh New Laws for Immigrant ‘Ghettos’

By Ellen Barry and Martin Selsoe Sorensen, NY Times, July 1, 2018

COPENHAGEN--When Rokhaia Naassan gives birth in the coming days, she and her baby boy will enter a new category in the eyes of Danish law. Because she lives in a low-income immigrant neighborhood described by the government as a “ghetto,” Rokhaia will be what the Danish newspapers call a “ghetto parent” and he will be a “ghetto child.”

Starting at the age of 1, “ghetto children” must be separated from their families for at least 25 hours a week, not including nap time, for mandatory instruction in “Danish values,” including the traditions of Christmas and Easter, and Danish language.

Rokhaia, her due date fast approaching, flared with anger at the mandatory preschool program approved by the government last month: Already, she said, her daughter was being taught so much about Christmas in kindergarten that she came home begging for presents from Santa Claus.

By focusing heavily on the collective cost of supporting refugee and immigrant families, the Danish People’s Party has won many voters away from the center-left Social Democrats, who had long been seen as the defenders of the welfare state. With a general election approaching next year, the Social Democrat party has shifted to the right on immigration, saying tougher measures are necessary to protect the welfare state.

Nearly 87 percent of Denmark’s 5.7 million people are of Danish descent, with immigrants and their descendants accounting for the rest. Two-thirds of the immigrants, around half a million, are from Muslim backgrounds, a group that swelled with the waves of Afghan, Iraqi and Syrian refugees crossing Europe.

Critics would say “the state cannot force children away from their parents in the daytime, that’s disproportionate use of force,” said Rune Lykkeberg, the editor in chief of Dagbladet Information, a left-liberal daily newspaper. “But the Social Democrats say, ‘We give people money, and we want something for this money.’ This is a system of rights and obligations.”

Danes have a high level of trust in the state, including as a central shaper of children’s ideology and beliefs, he said. “The Anglo-Saxon conception is that man is free in nature, and then comes the state” constraining that freedom, he said. “Our conception of freedom is the opposite, that man is only free in society.”

“You could say, of course, parents have the right to bring up their own kids,” he added. “We would say they do not have the right to destroy the future freedom of their children.”

Of course, he added, “There is always a strong sense of authoritarian risk.”

Ms. Hussain, the high school student from Tingbjerg, is accustomed to anti-immigrant talk surging ahead of elections, but says this year it is harsher than she can ever remember.

“If you create new kinds of laws that apply to only one part of society, then you can keep adding to them,” she said. “It will turn into the parallel society they’re so afraid of. They will create it themselves.”

SPREΛD THƎE THISEΛSE

THING cd review @ BAD ALCHEMY ( Germany ).

The sixth edition of the AC-series THING (ACUF 1006) unites WHALT THISNEY in Lisbon with Randolf Smeets alias The Phlod-Nar, who hails from the Netherlands, in Belgium sonically from ambient to Pärt to plunderphony and zappaesker xenochrony; with Jesús Alfaro al­faro alias el_masmoreand his past with Líder y los Damnificados in the 80s already (? ) and a difficult horizon to see from curious electropop to surreal postindustrial in Marbella; and with Claus Poulsen in Copenhagen with his ABC of Alarm 112, Blind Man's Band, CAM via Star Turbine back to Eardrops. The start is 'Dreams are the seedlings of realities' with its nice plural 'realities' and for Fernando Cerqueira typical of dusty piano sound, which drifts on distorted drone waves and pushes through the dust ceiling. 'Nadie se conoce' tastes spongy-monotone and also nostalgically climbs to piano keys, encircled in electronic stereophony. The fact that the pianist changed is hardly noticeable. Even to 'illuminated' a gliding transition, through trembling waves, distorted rhythmic forward movement and keyboard sound that sparkles in. 'Vertical horizon' delivers siren-like chirping and howling sounds over a vibrating sinus wave and a quiet muted beat. The alarm decreases and mutes, trembling drilling impulses remain, as rattling UFOs and pulsating aftermath of the alarm, which now glisses high again, trembles, wabberts and as a uuu pulse, surrounded by wired sound, to static extinction.

Available to pre-order now from https://bluetapes.bandcamp.com/album/blue-thirty-six

My two favourite albums of 2019 might have been blue thirty-two: Stuart Chalmers and Taming Power, and the remarkable Fictions in the Age of Reason by Stuart Chalmers and Claus Poulsen. Blue Tapes released the first of those; now, to square the circle, we’re proud to present a brand new collaboration by Stuart and Claus. Recorded completely live and hammered and tacked together out of bits of swarmandal, tape loops and Casio SK-1, these improvisations somehow transcend their component parts, feeling immersive, 3D and full of gleaming alien intelligence. As a counterblast to the gently unfolding long-form narratives of Fictions…, these new pieces are short, eccentric, and sometimes jarring. They scuttle around the listener and claw and then, when least expected, swell to unimaginable proportions and eat you whole. I love this monstrous brood of not-pop songs and I hope you will too. Praise for Stuart Chalmers: “Stuart Chalmers has taken Laraaji’s cult classic, cosmic-zither aesthetic, and expanded the lungs wide enough for a whole other world to drift right on in there. Themes haze & meld along Primordial beginnings, Call & Response spirit fights; Oh, the Light, Ahh the Dark, Owe the Other…” – Cassette Gods “Chalmers career in soundtracking sci-fi movies or the works of David Lynch should be assured.” – Idwal Fisher “Beautiful tracks of downbeat tape loops, dreamstates, hypnagogic soundfields, paranoid moonlit scenes with werewolves and ghostly children, snythesizer and tape hiss.” – Open Sound Group Praise for Claus Poulsen: “In the case of Claus Poulsen, it is a bit more complicated to say anything about genre or style. He operates in different musical fields, from noise to improvisation and surely something else as well. Yet, what I am served here is quite a surprise; a pleasant surprise at that. They call this 'fifth world' music, which is, of course, a bunch towards Brian Eno and Jon Hassell's 'fourth world' music, which the latter described as "a unified primitive/futuristic sound combining features of world ethnic styles with advanced electronic techniques." - Vital Weekly

Niels Bugge Cartoon Award afholdes for femte gang

VM i satiretegning afgoeres 27. maj

Viborg er i centrum, naar verdens bedste satiretegner loerdag den 27. maj 2017 skal kaares ved en storstilet event på Dollerup Mølle og Niels Bugges Kro & Hotel ved Viborg. Det er femte gang, Cartoon Award afholdes, og det uofficielle VM i satiretegning har stor, international bevågenhed. Hvert år deltager tegnere fra hele verden, og igen i år imponerer Cartoon Award med en rekord: Der er modtaget over 1200 unikke bidrag fra satirikere i hele verden, som netop nu vurderes af en fag-jury. Årets emne er "Kommunikation".

Justitsminister og formand for Det Konservative Folkeparti, Søren Pape Poulsen er en af de prominente gæster, der dukker op på dagen og sammen med juryen vil hylde årets vinder af VM i satiretegning samt nummer to og tre.

Vinderen findes af en kompetent, international jury med formanden for de danske bladtegnere Lars Refn i spidsen. Siden starten af april har de sorteret i flere end 1200 indsendte bidrag fra hele verden. Bidrag, der alle er centreret omkring emnet "Kommunikation". Tegnernes fortolkning af emnet er helt deres egen.

"Når vi i Juryen vælger årets emne, sker det altid med et bredt perspektiv for øje. Vi skal give tegnere fra hele verden mulighed for netop deres fortolkninger af et bredt emne. Vi skal ikke indsnævre fortolkninger ved at blive specifikke, men give kreativiteten løs. Vi valgte sidste efterår begrebet "Kommunikation" som tema. Tegnere fra hele verden har nu sendt bidrag ind, der på både overraskende, skræmmende og satirisk vis påpeger, at siger man kommunikation i 2017, handler det om hentydninger til emner som Fake News, Donald Trump og et mediebillede i kraftig ændring", siger Lars Refn.  

Vinderen af Cartoon Award 2017 vil blive en tegner og tegning, der både fanger seeren, overrasker og beviser, at satire er en kunstform, der bygger på humor og et ofte overraskende, kreativt syn på verden. En fagjury, der består af folk med en professionel baggrund indenfor cartooning og animation, udvælger de tre finalister.

Sidste år vandt den franske/spanske tegner Anne Derenne Adene foran italienske Marco D'agustino og belgiske Luc Vernimmen. Se tegninger lige her: Vindertegninger 2016

CARTOON AWARD OPSTOD I 2013

Konkurrencen er indstiftet af hotelejerne Gitte og Poul Nielsen i 2013 i tæt samarbejde med den internationale tegnerorganisation Federation of Cartoonist Organizations (FECO). De har i år samlet nogle af verdens bedste af slagsen - nemlig finalisterne i VM i satiretegning, der afholdes for 5. gang i træk. Tegnerne i finalen er alle tilstede på Niels Bugges Kro & Hotel, hvor Cartoon Award uddeles.

Der deltager tegnere fra det meste af verden. Hver tegner har måtte sende op til tre tegninger ind under årets tema "Kommunikation". Derfra har juryen udvalgt lidt over 100 tegninger, der er gået videre. De tre bedste tegninger og tegnere bag er nu udpeget. Priserne består af kontante præmier, en guld-, sølv- og bronzeplatte samt en uges ophold i Danmark med alt betalt. Tegnere og tegningerne afsløres først for offentligheden på dagen.

DANSKE SKOLEBØRN TEGNER MED

Cartoon Award inviterede sidste år samtlige 8. klasser i Viborg til at deltage med deres bud på en tegning ud fra samme emne som de professionelle tegnere. Og det blev en så stor succes, at de viborgensiske 8. klasser igen i år deltager. For hvordan tolker unge danske skoleelever  samme emne?

Det har cirka 100 danske 8. klasseelever fra Viborg budt på - og de deltager i en særskilt konkurrence. Jens Julius, Niels Bo Bojesen, Lars Norup og Claus Seidel er i Børnejuryen, hvor de bedste bidrag udvælges og de vindende unge deltager også i prisoverrækkelsen sammen med deres klasselærere.

Vindertegningerne i hovedkonkurrencen udvælges af et dommerpanel, der ud over Jurypræsident og satiretegner Lars Refn består af den portugisiske tegner Carlos Brito, der blandt andet har arbejdet på Le Mond og den franske satireavis, Le Canard enchaine. Med er også den svenske tegner Riber Hansson, serbiske Jugoslav Vlahovic og danske Peter Dyring-Olsen fra Viborgs Animationsskole. Juryen har konsulent-bistand fra argentinske Marlene Pohle, vicepræsicent i FECO, tegner Claus Seidel, Generalsekretær i FECO, Bernard Bouton og den hollandske kunstner Peter Nieuwendijk.

Selve prisoverrækkelsen finder sted på Dollerup Mølle lørdag d. 27. maj kl. 12.00 - kl. 15.00. Her er tv-vært Camilla Ottesen vært. Debattør og vært på DR Radios P1, Bente Dalsbæk, er samme dag ordstyrer ved en paneldebat om årets emne. Senere er der reception og festmiddag.

De 100 bedste tegninger - og de tre finalisters bidrag, kan fra den 28.maj ses på Niels Bugges Kro & Hotel. Derpå vises fra mandag d. 29. maj et stort udvalg af tegningerne på en udstilling på Den Sorte Diamant i København i en begrænset periode..
