‘eves’ was invited to remix 3 other artist’s work, Zineb SOULAIMANI, Laryssa KIM, and Sage Pbbbt - by being provided isolated stems, this project was an exercise in composition of sounds I wouldn’t otherwise generate. Being afforded the opportunity to work with other artists’ material such as this is a special one. The composition was based purely on sonic arrangement of elements for intensities or sparenesses, placing the sounds spatially was a large part of the remixing process. The final composition assembles textures, samples, drone, in-between breaths and non-convention vocal techniques to create a disrhythmic, shifting and scattered composition that seems to resolve briefly, only to fall apart again. The name of the track ‘keep this link’ comes from Laryssa’s finalising lyrics (amongst her in-breaths) where she sings, isolated ‘I will keep this link’,
INCLUSIVES
A project of the Tsuku Boshi label and the Fair_Play network
Music into each other. And point.
Perhaps in the beginning, sound materials were shared by four very different women. And it's certainly not for Fair_Play or Tsuku boshi to point out what sets them apart from the dominant cultural landscape. And above all we had more than enough of the categories which are in no way musical genres.
Perhaps, however, we all knew that they were at the limit of something and that we more than wanted to go beyond this limit. Maybe we were betting that these singularities would be an infinite wealth to compose. And that there is nothing to dare in this bet of inclusiveness, on the contrary, it would even be normal.
So these four women and many others had fun playing each other's sound materials, composing, asserting a few things. And many others have gathered around them to have fun too and to push very far all limits linked to the authorship of a work, to its often excluding legitimation, to the often gendered filters of listening, and we could continue this list for a very long time ... One inside the other and yet each in their own place, they attest here in a completely different way of being together in the same project.
Fair_Play
In mutable pop architectures or melodic accentuations, in strident voices or sound experiences, this project brings together dialogues between instinctive, curious, committed musicians. "Inclusive" is a woman emerging from the back door of a club whose walls still resonate with her sounds. “Inclusive” is also a conservatory student who extracts feelings and rhythms, passions and melodies from her laptop. “Inclusive” is again this silhouette, an appearance that could have escaped him between two effects pedals. It is words of life, moods and promises, the sweetness of forgetting or the harshness of demands, that they whisper in your ear.
Tsuku Boshi
With sound materials from: Zineb SOULAIMANI, Laryssa KIM, Carol ROBINSON, Sage Pbbbt
