about

[KHS 012 / WER020]

Following up their recent 'Hypehunt' released via Random Numbers, Attilio Novellino and Collin McKelvey take us with 'Métaphysiques cannibales' to a further stage of their collaboration – which started in 2014 – adapting to their work some of the key conceptual assumptions of Eduardo Viveiros de Castro’s same titled essay.
Acoustic instruments, analog synthesizers, modular synthesizers and tape recordings have been used in a composing, editing and mixing procedure typical of musique concrète, combined through different steps with electronic processing and granular synthesis.

Rather than expressing a rationality that is strictly informed by rules and syntactic procedures, sound organization is here conceived as both as a dispositif of creation and a practice of knowledge: a triggering device to activate a liberatory dynamics to the recognition of mental patterns and new cognitive habits as the first steps of a transition towards a territory that is free from the narcissistic presence of the observer, and therefore immune to the dominant knowledge paradigms.
Sound as a device to subvert the anthropological habitus, which in fact recalls Eduardo Viveiros de Castro’s point towards a “permanent decolonization of thought” by exposing the authenticity of man’s predatory and cannibalistic acting.

Métaphysiques cannibales, which is out June 1st 2018 through Weird Ear and Kohlhaas, comes in a 300 copies edition on black vinyl, featuring cover artwork by Matteo Castro.

Texture junkies rejoice. Three-dimensional music. You can reach out and touch it. Eerie and haunted. Could be a soundtrack to an understated, seaside horror flick. Imagine P.T. Anderson directing a more meditative, mysterious rendition of Jaws. pinko hobbit daddy

Living Torch
by Kali Malone

supported by 5 fans who also own “Métaphysiques cannibales”

Such a wonderful piece of art ! Powerful and melancholic, intriguing and fascinating, subtile and incredibly well crafted. Kali Malone is definitely one the most interesting and talented Composer of these last years, and I have the feeling that we have a lot more to discover from her. A year ago I had the chance to see her live for living torch, and it was a moment I will never forget. Thank you Kali ! ♫
