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.
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.

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' :

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.
