about

SKEEN was composed entirely under lockdown and is meant to be performed live. Using one Technics SL-1200 Mk5 and one Vestax Controller One turntable, the album manipulates each sound through a myriad of turntablist techniques, pushing the limitations of two hands on two decks with only two sounds to the brink. The album ruminates over the semantics and etymology of language used around and by people identifying with multiple ethnicities. It depicts the frighteningly casual attitude of racist right-wing politics in 2020 Britain and the nuances of white privilege coupled with regressive feminism found in everyday ‘lefty' online writing.
Stop. Listen. Apologise. Learn. This is not the time for you. This is the time for community. This is the time for us all to learn.

'Denying these empirical realities is its own kind of violence, even when our intentions are good.’
- Tressie McMillan Cottom

Insight is all that matters;
The rest is just fat and flesh,
A weft and warp of bones and muscle.
- Rumi

All monies made by the artist from this release will be donated to Gateshead Food Bank.

This is more than amazing. I have been folllowing Syrphe releases on and off and they're all worth it, but this one actually shows how soundscapes, ambient and sound collages come to their own when the stories they tell are worth listening to. And they all are in this compilation. olivkon
