In
the second instalment of this series places the spotlight on some of
the female artists, who are part of Seouls growing underground scene
of alternative dj’s and producers.
The
first to make an appearance is Itta of Pan-Asian psychedelic drone
duo Tennger. In this instance it’s a re-working of ‘Only’a
vocal and fx recording (originally released on cassette) re-entitled
‘Deeply alone with everyone dub’. Christopher takes a subtle
approach with bleeps and overly familiar loops, that slowly build
behind the ethereal vocals to somewhat of a percussive crescendo.
Next
up is TheSojuQueen described as a producer, singer and visual artist.
Here he re-works a version of ‘Pond’, Re-entitled ‘Empty Pond
(your true reflection dub)’. Apparently the original combined a
ukelule riff with haunting vocals and from what I can gather he puts
the brakes on. To be honest if I hadn’t been informed of the
ukelule, then I would have assumed the strings were of an oriental
instrument. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but there is
something about this tune that draws me in.
The
final track is by Yetsuby a producer whose work ranges from ambient
to groovy electronic and experimental weirdness. Here Christopher
takes her ambient piece ‘The Dolphin Song’, re-entitled ‘Dolphin
Song (from the depths of lazers dub)’ and weaves her vocal through
echo fx whilst applying a deeper bass for a slow chugging dub
alternative.
