Music for a Dialogue
Dedicated to everyone who identifies as a woman, feels like a goddess, rules like a female warrior, or desires to embrace their feminine energy in all shapes and complexity.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Music created for the contemporary dance theatre "JUST ASK HER." January 2022.

JUST ASK HER. deals with questions about gender-related issues. Three women are portraying what it means to be limited, silenced and categorized. What are the solutions to treat each other equally? When will we realize the importance of this topic? The performance is a place for opening all possible questions about unfairness in society.

An ancient Slavic myth of the fern flower symbolises everything that one seeks but what is, in fact, unattainable.

Fern Flower is rooted in the Slavic tale in which the fern is an unreachable and alluring plant existing only in the realm of delusion.

The legends say that only the fern that grows in the most secluded forests can bloom with the magickal flower and sometimes with a magickal fruit. It has to be a place far away from the human villages, where no dog barking, rooster crowing or people talking could be heard.

The fern gives birth to the flower around midnight, and a loud sound described as a crack, a bang, or a thunder follows its birth. The flower shines with a golden, purple or blue glow. It is extremely delicate: blooms only shortly and dies before dawn or lives only less than an hour.

According to the folk legends, a person who manages to find the flower will be filled with exceptional supernatural wisdom that would bring happiness to their life or be given great wealth and power.

Imagine layers of the soil. Dirt elements stacked on the previous epoch. Imagine civilizations living on the top floor of their ancestor's habitats. Wisdom, memories, history, myths, poems, songs, fears, all connected via deep roots of shared consciousness.

How do your roots feel? How does the soil of your home taste? What is the sound of your skin? Music and visuals inspired by Slovak folklore and anthropology in connection to our personal narratives.

Folklore without old narratives. Queer and feminist forms incorporated into the new story of our identities.

What about retelling the narrative of our present? Who are we and what do we remember? What are our values and what do we believe in? What is the „real“ face of our identity and which one is your favourite? What is our story to tell?










Music From Ancestral Archeology | Difference and Repetition




“The voice is always dead, and only out of some desperate denial, we call it living. We call this irreplaceable loss a modulation. Modulation is a voice to the extent that it has always passed. It has been silenced.”
Roland Barthes

What Is The Story You Want To Tell?

In the past, people with special skills, knowledge or just ones looked different from the middle part of the bell curve, those people were persecuted. Burned and accused of not being good for society. Why shall we create shallow and uniform societies with only one type of people? Why can't we cherish differences, various genders, multiple identities and the power of weirdness? This is the main magic that we are burning when we decide to fit into one uniform.

Folklore For The New Era

What are the stories we want to tell our relatives, friends or kids? Traditions used to be heteronormative, roles defined and lives predestined. Future folklore does not have to be like that. How does our stamp in the cultural map look like? Like us.

Dance, raving at night and repetition in the music compositions stays in our culture and evolves since we reacted to the first vibration with our bodies. Movement without prescribed gender roles and predefined steps is an attribute of freedom. A choice we are making when we decide to move as we want.

A semantic Memory, Simulacrum of Reality

In Baudrillard's concept, like Nietzsche's, simulacra are perceived as negative, but another modern philosopher who addressed the topic, Gilles Deleuze, takes a different view, seeing simulacra as the avenue by which an accepted ideal or "privileged position" could be "challenged and overturned".

Deleuze defines simulacra as "those systems in which different relates to different by means of difference itself.
What is essential is that we find in these systems no prior identity, no internal resemblance".
(Deleuze, Gilles (1968).
Difference and Repetition. Translated by Paul Patton. Columbia: Columbia University Press. p. 69)  



Glass Horse


















Glass horses can live inside trees or abandoned shacks or dark caves or near rivers, ponds and wells. They enter the human world during the spring, staying until autumn. During the winter, they live in mythical villas and castles. After they die, each glass horse gets a mansion.

Glass horses are gorgeous beings with an affinity for fire. They have the power to bring about drought, burn a farmer's crops, or make animals die of high fever. It is said that, when excited, glass horses can change their appearance and turn into monstrous bird capable of throwing fire at their rivals.

Accompanied and following only the rhythm of the breeze and their chanting, their dance was said to have been often witnessed by lost travellers, seduced by the sorcery of their song and resemble, only to die of exhaustion at dawn, when the glass horses finally disappeared.







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.

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 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.
