Mira Calix - Absent Origin - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Absent origin is the latest album to be announced today by multi-disciplinary artist Mira Calix via Warp Records on 5 November 2021. InchLike Duchamp, I had started out wanting to, Inchmake an album, or box, of approximately all the things I producedInch. In the end, I realised - as much as a collage is the coupling of two or more realities, it also offers the means to examine the materials and culture of an era, questioning and expanding it's borders.Inch Mira CalixEvery song on the album was created by applying a different collage process relating to a different visual artist, spanning the history of collage to contemporaries of the practice. The sonic materials are subjected to a myriad of processes; layered, synthesised, constructed and assembled into electronic melodies, textures and complex, frisky dance rhythms that are constantly shifting in surprising ways. Absent origin employs collage to make sense of the current moment of displaced voices, disjunction and political unrest.01. a mark of resistance02. #there is always a girl with a secret03. #silence is silver04. #bower of bliss05. #wooddrifts06. #nkosezane -for my daddy07. #like Jenga (only it reaches all the way to the sky and it's made of knives)08. #doggerland (between the acts)09. #fundamental things10. #fractions fractured factions11. i'm in love with the end12 surrender13.
