DEBUT EP: Ciclos and Music Video by Hannah Lee

Hannah Lee, a producer / DJ from Los Angeles currently based in Quito, Ecuador has just recently released her debut EP Ciclos [October 16, 2020] - a four track EP on Mexican label Vaarios Artistas and a new music video to accompany one of the tracks of the EP. There are some really lovely electronic sounds here and some interesting ideas being explored. The music video track featured here 'Self Care is Part of Resistance' explores a great idea for todays hectic world. I am really liking this title and what it suggests - self care is powerful and great to express this through music and video.

Ciclos EP

Ciclos is a sonic journey that purges the subconscious to find inner peace. Developing textured samples, the EP oscillates between ambient and experimental dance music, exploring the introspective and corporal possibilities of electronica.

Music Video for track 'Self-Care Is (a Part of) Resistance'

Previously released as a single, ‘Self-Care Is (a Part of) Resistance’ closes off the EP as a summary of the overall message and a more formal practice of the EP’s desired result; a meditative exploration that looks to heal the body and mind in this chaotic time. The organic undulation of the melody expresses a natural simplicity, giving the audience a sense of inner peace necessary to push through personal and global difficulties. The EP is complemented visually by two music videos. The video for ‘Self-Care Is (a Part of) Resistance’ uses dance and daily activities as a visual metaphor to reflect on self care exploration as an integral part of resistance, transcendence, and liberation. The second video to be released compliments ‘Y Así Como Se Dijo, Así Se Hizo’ with a compilation of short videos filmed throughout the last four years in the US, Argentina, Colombia, and Ecuador that express an attention to detail reflective of the abstract energy of the track. Mastering of 'Valley Queer' and 'Procesa Tus Traumas': Hermetics Art: Roberto Albán Torres.

Contact - Augmented Acoustics

Felix Faire (UK), a Parametric System Designer had designed some very interesting interactive installations. One of these, Contact is an interface with which to manipulate and visualize sounds. Beautiful results. View Contact: Augmented Acoustics CONTACT: Augmented Acoustics from Felix Faire on Vimeo . "CONTACT is a tangible audio interface to manipulate and visualize sounds generated from interaction with a simple wooden surface. Any physical contact with the table generates acoustic vibrations which are manipulated and visualized LIVE as they occur using several communicating pieces of software.

D.D. Jameson - Colour Music (1844)

D.D. Jameson devised a systematic approach to create a colour music score for a specially adapted piano. His scores took the information from a piano music score and applied it to a sound-music colour scheme and translated it into a colour score. The colour score communicated the musical information - such as notes, rhythm, durations. His score was to link to a special adaptation of a piano music instrument that would have the keys prepared with the relevant colours. The musician could then play the piano by following the colour music score. Not only were the piano keys to be coloured according to his colour to tone analogy system but the score was to also communicate other aspects of the musicianship such as: the intervals of the music, the notes and their octaves, by mapping the height of the colour to the octave of the note and the width of the colour to the duration of the note. "A pianoforte having been prepared in the manner described, any air may be slo...
