NINA PIXEL . BLACK ACID

Pre-apocalyptic fairy tales, emotional topography of personal landscapes, the archaeology of the human soul. Narcotic journey into the noisy rites and industrial myths of our dark corners.

“Nina works with sonic dirt, sampled poems and dark techno applying her personal introspection into soundscapes resembling industrial structure of post apocalyptic fairy tale. Her art exploration of the inner ecology, the relationships within oneself, the relationships within us and environment, grows into a personal mythology, celebrating organic beauty of the imperfection of the life.” (Akkamiau)

Her stories are going beyond the border of uncompromising ritual rhythms, looped in endless sonic soundscapes and dirty dark techno.

Her performances are standing between live acts and djing, sampling, looping, and feeling, working often with a different topics as the main light motives for each set. Nina is playing hard distorted techno or dreamy soundscapes - often in one session.

Nina performs under names Nina Pixel, Palm Reader and BLACK ACID. Those projects are interconnected and divided at the same time.

BIAS LOOP

Is there a reality that is fundamental to human beings?

“Yesterday’s truth is today’s deception and yesterday’s false inference may be tomorrow’s revelation.” (C.G.Jung)

Oscillating between sense and nonsense, conscious is dancing with subconscious, all realities vibrating towards non linear freedom from opposites.

What is real and what is a bias we have to step out of?

(this version of reality is supported by Re-Imagine Europe & A4 - priestor súčasnej kultúry as a part of BIAS LOOP composition)

What will happen once we want to escape - glitch and distort our “Self” as a recorded program?
The sound of organic cello strings, voices, noises from the streets, talks, animals, wind and nature are being transformed into a different level - new realities - malformed - biases - skewed and looped.
Self is a projection. Same as the XYZ scales we live in. Is it who we really are or who we really want to be? Destruction of our Selves, society and nature created a pattern. Constantly dying and being recreated again and again in the loop. How many times we have to die to realize we have never lived? We are going to be lost, running from our own awareness till we stop, turn around and look outside. When we decide to let go our ego - when we let our Self die, only then we are able to reconnect.

PALM READER

The other day I have met a man reading palms and offering a piece of very reasonable advice > to become a farmer of our bodies - farm your health - farm your conversations - actions - view yourself as a farmer - farm your breath - change the context - cultivate - farm you!

This is a topic which popped up after meeting that misterious palm reader and recording his predictions - lot of material left over - much to process, so I decided to create this little boiling techno witchcraft project. s a

A pre-apocalyptic fairy tale on the unsustainable direction of our values. Darkrooms vs. All leaders summits, rape of the planet vs hedonistic self-centered indulgence. Fortune teller story of your present.

Samples:
John Giorno poems
Greta Thunberg

ANCESTRAL ARCHEOLOGY

__________________________________________

Traditional Slovak folk songs reused in the new age of challenging times.
Songs originate in Liptov.

Are we still the same dark souls as our ancestors used to be? Something magical keeps attracting me since I was very little. Forests, moss, soil, stories, human sorrow, witches and healers, wise people and their whisper trapped in the past. What is that feeling I keep sensing from our movies, songs, and storytelling? It is time to listen.

Wisdom, memories, history, myths, poems, songs, fears, all connected via deep roots of shared consciousness.
Dirt elements stacked on the previous epoch.

Imagine civilizations living on the top floor of their ancestor's habitats. Is the consciousness of the contemporary mind interconnected like the web made out of the tree roots?

Do we feel the same about our mythology? How does the present face of Slovak folklore look like?

.........................................

"Until the White Morning"

The effort to deconstruct and destroy conventions in Slovak folklore contributed to the creation of the performance and video "Until the White Morning". By translating folklore into queer and feminist forms, new folklore is created, without gender stereotypes, sexism and patriarchy. And finally, how else would Friday end in 21st-century folklore if not a rave in the woods until white morning.

RELEASED STUFF >>

SONIC RESISTANCE. A Compilation For Rojava.

We are very happy to share with you the information about the upcoming release of QUANTUM CRITICALITY on Kashev Tapes. SONIC RESISTANCE. A Compilation For Rojava started off in the cooperation with Oramics collective, with mastering done by Rey KM Domurat / Uferlos Studios.

This is a call for maintaining the international solidarity with the revolution in Rojava. It is a musical interference against the imperialist war machinery, against capitalism. It is campaigning to raise awareness about the struggle of the Kurdish freedom movement.

This compilation of 90 tracks was put together to support the feminist movement in the autonomous area of Northern Syria. All proceeds from the digital sales will be sent directly to the ‘Foundation of the Free Woman in Rojava‘ (Weqfa Jina Azad A Rojava) which is one of the last women’s organization in the area.

SONIC RESISTANCE ARTISTS:

2-5-5-0, Aleksander Jagodziński, allreal, ANFS, Anna Bolena, Apoist, ArtificialParadise, BLACK ACID, Black Seed, Blegrami, BROKEN PROMISES CREW, CCO, Chaton_Satan, Cryptic, Cybermission, Dawn Mok, Deepneue, DJ KETAFLUSH, DJ Loser & Penelope's Drama, dj valentimes, Dj Warzone, Don't Dj, Doc Sleep, Dr Dilar Dirik in AGF mix, Dr Rey, Duy Gebord, dzuma, Elijah, Eomac, FANA, Feyz, FOQL, Gael, Ghorba, Golpe Erotico, Helena Markos, hithertoo, ISNT, Jaguar on the moon, Johannes de Leysen, Jokasti & Nek, Jolly, Kloves, Legion Seven, Luke Lund, Lumpex, LYZZ, Madeleine Bloom, Marco Segato, Mateo Hurtado, Max Durante feat.

kashev tapes is a DIY organisation platform and a friendship network in Zureich.

Rojava established itself not only in opposition to the Turkish military regime, but also as a grassroots movement redefining the future of the region on its own terms. The Kurdish resistance is advocating for women’s equality, LGBTQIA rights, ecology, sustainability, and democratic confederalism. It has created its own strategies outside western political pressure. The Turkish invasion is not only destroying lives, but also extinguishes any hope for substantial change. The attacking army has superior technology and simply “more of everything” to suppress the revolution in the cruellest manner. We stand with the resistance in northern Syria and the people who defend their autonomy.

In the wake of being opposed to such an absolute violence, we asked ourselves what can we do to support this struggle? How can we engage our community and our skills to defend Rojava? We feel obliged to point out and continue the emancipating history of club music and how it has been connected to equality and freedom movements since the beginning. With the compilation we spread the idea of Rojava through our networks and on the other hand we try to redistribute resources. Although we choose to make music, sometimes very loud and noisy, we can never cease to listen and learn. The revolution in Rojava shows us how deeply entangled we are in postcolonial relations and motivates us to deconstruct existing conditions and structures. That’s how we understand being an ally.

Because the war against equality and freedom is a war against all of us.

From our Future Selves

From our Future Selves | YGAM

'From our Future Selves' is Berlin-based label ygam’s first non-profit various artists compilation. This 12-tracks gathering was put together to support the organization 'Friends of the Earth' in their aim at challenging the current model of economic and corporate globalization, while promoting solutions that help to create environmentally sustainable and socially just societies. All proceeds from the album will be donated directly to them. In its drive to raise environmental awareness and inspire togetherness, this compilation also shares a sonic facet only slightly explored by the imprint so far: the dance floor's rhythmical occurrences. Indeed, through their various contributions extending from power electronics and heavy bass deconstructions to dense techno cuts, artists propose a wide variety of approaches to club-oriented music and ways for bodies to engage in cadenced investigations.

–––

ygam stands with the missions of 'Friends of the Earth' :

• To collectively ensure environmental and social justice, human dignity, and respect for human rights and peoples' rights so as to secure sustainable societies.
• To halt and reverse environmental degradation and... more

PROCES - THU 21 NOV - PRAGUE - Hol

Proces series continues after the last sub-sonic storm,
leading us into modular sculptures, industrial rumbles and hidden memory layers all woven into psychedelic fiction.
Drew McDowall, once a member of legendary groups like Coil or Psychic TV, presents his latest album “The Third Helix” during his Prague premiere. Slovak sound researcher Jano Doe is defined by DIY modules, entangled patch cables and her art of improvisation.
Dark ambient “post-archeological” moniker Black Acid belongs to Nina Pixel who will explore emotional intelligence with us. And last but not least, White Wigwam opens up his Coil-esque sound world which is literally modular, constantly on the move, evolving and transmuting.
