Chinabot:
"Chinabot artist Auspicious Family has teamed up with French sound artist Laure Boer for a collaborative split EP, Wayward Symmetry, created during Boer's 2019 artist residency in Manila (Philippines), Auspicious Family's home city.
Spanning dark ambient, noise, industrial and Krautrock, Wayward Symmetry shifts through atmospheric and textural experiments, each artist finding a meeting point between their two unique musical styles. The two return to each other on the final track, the live recording Brouillard, in which a haunting vocal cuts across atmospheric drones and improvised compositions.
Boer's two-month artist residency in Manila, supported by the Goethe-Institut, CTM Festival and Musicboard Berlin, was designed to create a dialogue between her own work and the sound art of the Philippines. She performed in a number of clubs and festivals with local electronic musicians, including Auspicious Family.
The duo played for the Closing Concert: Spectres for WSK Festival in Manila in October 27 at Rajah Sulayman Theater, Intramuros in collaboration with NUSASONIC and CTM Festival.
Nusasonic is taking the initiative to invite several platforms exploring sound art from Southeast Asia and Europe, Goethe-Institut aims to strengthen the dialogue between the people involved in creating and shaping what experimental sound cultures look like today, especially through meaningful collaborations.
Boer's work with him is collected in Wayward Symmetry, which contains an original track from each artist, a collaborative track between the two and a live recording of a performance they made together. Although Boer has since returned to her adopted home of Berlin, the two artists continue to collaborate from afar. "

Yokubari, which means “greedy” in Japanese, reflects Bharoocha’s love for every genre of music; a greediness for wanting to incorporate disparate sounds into a song structure or DJ set.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith YOKUBARI, Bharoocha aims to create music that entwines the multi-faceted cultures we all come from, to expound upon the interconnectivity of the language of sound, and to embrace the rhythms we experience in daily life as a resplendent yet chaotic balancing act. His debut EP on Chinabot will be released on the 4th of May 2022.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe title of this EP is ‘Sakai’ which means “border” in\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e Japanese. On this EP, Bharoocha attempts to express the push and pull one feels when they are born from multiple cultures, trying to be accepted by those distinct cultures, yet trying to show self acceptance from being forever different, forever on the cusp.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePerhaps best-known for his role as the drummer and founding member of experimental rock band Black Dice, his precise and complex sense of rhythm drives Sakai through a kaleidoscope of textures. Touching on techno, ambient and experimental noise, Sakai remains sonically true to Bharoocha’s own unique cultural background.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eBharoocha is half Japanese and half Indian Myanmar, born in Niigata Japan. He was brought up in Japan and The United States. Being half Japanese and living in Japan during his teenage years, he rarely felt accepted in Japan as a culturally Japanese person. For the most part Japan is a monoculture and has historically kept mixed-race Japanese from feeling accepted as Japanese people. On his father’s side Bharoocha’s cultural background is Muslim Myanmar. In day-to-day interactions, Bharoocha notices the lack of acceptance by those who are practicing Muslims towards those who are culturally Muslim.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eBeing an immigrant in southern California as a child, he was one of the few Asians in his schools. When he moved back to the U.S. for college as a young adult he had to re-adjust to American perspectives, how people interacted, and American social norms. This EP is the sonification of this cultural scrimmage he lives with daily, a riot of left-field global bass.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor this record Bharoocha specifically hones in on sampling sounds that came from the cultures from which he was born. From his Japanese side, he samples the sounds of Japanese Gagaku instruments, traditional Minyo music, and voicing from Kabuki music. The other half of the sampled instrumentation comes from music and singing used in traditional Myanmar music.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eBharoocha also samples anti establishment protests which happened in Myanmar and in Japan. Those sounds are woven together with synth lines and rhythms that reference the many musical genres Bharoocha experiences daily in the streets of New York City, from percussive slaps to noisy bursts and whirring rattles. Bharoocha wants to express his love for the cultures he is born from, as well the love for the music he hears in New York—on car stereos in passing, to professional sound systems or DIY venue sound systems.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe cover image is a photograph of his father as a young adult on the Staten Island Ferry with the World Trade Center standing in the background. To Bharoocha, this image symbolizes everything he feels being an immigrant in the United States. The look of hope and optimism on his father’s face is undeniable. Hisham was in New York when the World Trade Center was attacked and immediately started to feel anti-Muslim sentiments directed towards him.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe inside sleeve of the cassette is a photograph of his parents holding him and his older brother in a room at his grandparent’s home in Niigata. The image resonates with him by visually communicating how traditions can be broken down but while still embracing the beauty they hold.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtist bio (via Chinabot):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Hisham Akira Bharoocha is a multimedia artist based in Brooklyn, New York, working across various mediums including large-scale murals, paintings, drawings, collages, audio\/visual installations, and performances.

He was brought up in Japan and The United States. Being half Japanese and living in Japan during his teenage years, he rarely felt accepted in Japan as a culturally Japanese person. For the most part Japan is a monoculture and has historically kept mixed-race Japanese from feeling accepted as Japanese people. On his father’s side Bharoocha’s cultural background is Muslim Myanmar. In day-to-day interactions, Bharoocha notices the lack of acceptance by those who are practicing Muslims towards those who are culturally Muslim.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eBeing an immigrant in southern California as a child, he was one of the few Asians in his schools. When he moved back to the U.S. for college as a young adult he had to re-adjust to American perspectives, how people interacted, and American social norms.

From his Japanese side, he samples the sounds of Japanese Gagaku instruments, traditional Minyo music, and voicing from Kabuki music. The other half of the sampled instrumentation comes from music and singing used in traditional Myanmar music.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eBharoocha also samples anti establishment protests which happened in Myanmar and in Japan. Those sounds are woven together with synth lines and rhythms that reference the many musical genres Bharoocha experiences daily in the streets of New York City, from percussive slaps to noisy bursts and whirring rattles. Bharoocha wants to express his love for the cultures he is born from, as well the love for the music he hears in New York—on car stereos in passing, to professional sound systems or DIY venue sound systems.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe cover image is a photograph of his father as a young adult on the Staten Island Ferry with the World Trade Center standing in the background.

Hisham was in New York when the World Trade Center was attacked and immediately started to feel anti-Muslim sentiments directed towards him.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe inside sleeve of the cassette is a photograph of his parents holding him and his older brother in a room at his grandparent’s home in Niigata.

This is a co-produced cassette released by Chinese-British audio artist Kepla from Chinabot, a British label specializing in Asian artists, in September 2023. Contains four songs recorded in a ruined chapel: free jazz, organ drone, and ghost contemporary. *If you would like a digital sound source, please feel free to contact us. Below is an explanation by the label. Recorded during a heat wave in an abandoned chapel and composed through a slow, sporadic process, Kepla's new album In Furnace captures the eerie feeling of living at the end of the world. There is. With John Davis' multi-instrumental approach, joined by a broken church organ, and drawing us into a place of suffocating heat despite the stone cold, this album is about lost places. I am thinking about it and gathering new meanings. In July 9, John organized a week-long residency at Capel-y-Graig, a chapel-turned-art space in the Welsh village of Furness. There, he experimented with field recordings, experimented with cello and piano, studied the Suna, a traditional double reed instrument popular in China, and collected recordings for resampling. After the residency, it became clear that instead of reworking the recordings, preserving the unique reverberations of the chapel, its surroundings, and the extreme climate would be the focus of the album. These contested objects, such as chapels no longer functioning for organized religion and musical instruments separated from their ceremonial functions, are becoming increasingly important as ecological collapse is no longer a distant future. It exists in the current era. The idea for ``In Furnace'' was based on the 4 film ``A City of Sadness'' directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien, which depicts the ``Feb. 2021 Incident'' in which an anti-government uprising that occurred in Taiwan in 7 was brutally suppressed. After seeing his first major work), he immediately acquired a Suna and began learning to play it [...]. "I'm trying to give a certain sensibility to a lot of stories that touch on my own but feel alienated from." "As an artist, these cultures are now becoming more distant," says John. “The Suna (hopefully) is not just an instrument for playing music, but a revitalized craft for reacquainting ourselves with what has been lost. , a space that demands to be activated by sound, powered by an organ with only one fully functioning lung. In Furnace explores the ever more common sense of cultural and ecological collapse. It brings together emotional emotions into a textured elegy that touches the heart."
