rPh, an electronic music producer and DJ from Nairobi, Kenya, signs the first episode of the new Ready-to-Wear season.

In this episode entitled “Readymade Realism”, he demonstrates his interest in constructing meanings through recontextualization, relying, as a thread running through the set, on audio excerpts from “Capitalist Realism” by Mark Fischer, which depicts a historical and social horizon closed in on the commodity and its alienation.

Devotee of ominous fun, Disqueur Gazouz (Mabrouk HIA) scours the Arab street extracting dubiously crafted tunes: Mahragan, chopped rhythmic loops, crushed Shaabi, or post-trap methadone... He then assembles it all to concoct mixes as festive as an exhaust pipe. Incidentally, he leads the collective Bisque, with which he bridges the sonic undergrounds of Europe with those of the Maghreb and the Mashreq.

Hypersigil✨ inaugurates a series of guest mixes with an episode featuring Mariana Carvalho and Zach Hart.

Mariana Carvalho (São Paulo/Berlin) is a performer, musician and sound artist working with voices, interactions between bodies, (internal) listening, relation, transduction, materials, mail art and prepared piano. Collaboration is a big part of her work, most lately happening in the fields of performative arts.

Zach Hart is an artist based in Berlin. His background as an experimental filmmaker influences his methods of working with sound, live performance, video, and installation. His more recent works are most similar to experimental lectures, but he also works on music. His work often involves collaborators and tends to thematically revolve around ideas of simultaneous presence, mediation and the construction of space.

AHMED ALAA, an Egyptian DJ and artist based in Cairo and known for his performances that merge ambient, noise, and industrial sounds, delivers a mix with precise selection deeply rooted in his thoughts and visions. While some of the tracks represent the serene darkness, others depict the sea, with the interplay of wind and waves, the lights of far-off ships, and the vagueness of the picture, which is perfectly expressed by the distorted sounds.

The second episode of Ready-to-Wear, the aairs duo’s contribution to our series, interweaves two points of departure.

The first of these is The Detroit Escalator Company’s track “Gathering Memory”, which begins with an in-situ recording of a directional instruction given to a woman who seems to have lost her way in Detroit.

The second is the opening of “Mammame” by Jean-Claude Gallota and Serge Houpin, a modern ballet that, like an alternative to a Samuel Beckett drama, begins with the fall of a man.

Hypersigil✨ presents its third guest, traumesser, a collapsed identity of a catastrophic sound event, an amalgamation of influences, from high-tech post-club productions to abrasive non-musical collages.

An unpredictable series of deviations through unstable rhythms, fractured melodic lines and emotionally loaded walls of noise.

the songs in this mix are sung by women, and their haunting stories speak a time and a place you’re bound to, and although right now you may not remember why, you will as you listen.

you’re thinking of ‘fandala', a pontic greek word for women that talk a lot, of how there’s no word like this for men and how when your grandpa called you such you stopped speaking your thoughts and started humming melodies.

also of borderlands, cliffs melting into water, moving east, against the clock, abandoning habits, implicitly imposed, hugging ghosts, reclaiming what’s yours, tasting old intervals, with new tongues, reconnecting dots, decoding traces, wearing your grandpa’s sweater, your grandma’s silence, your dad’s throat tumor, your mom’s singing loud and clear over the sink, over the voice of those who called her out of tune —

YancityGurl signs the third episode of the Ready-to-Wear series.

“This mix was recorded during a period that is difficult to mark with some kind of characteristic gesture or... difficult to choose the color of a felt-tip pen to encircle the desired timecode.

But perhaps we could state that this sonorous canvas expresses a step towards uncertainty within which a ray of the full color spectrum shines through.

Stay safe and true.”
