Organization based in Paris, our creations embody a dynamic blend of digital and analog tools, including electrical circuits, electronic components, computer systems, and artificial intelligence. Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of knowledge systems, we seamlessly weave together ancient traditions and cutting-edge cybernetic trends to produce innovative and boundary-pushing works.
This release was composed during the winter of 2022-2023 and was heavily influenced by two letters from Gunther Anders, compiled by the French publishing house Editions Allia in a book titled “Le Rêve des Machines”. The text highlights Anders' criticism of the extensive power of technology and the realm of machines, attributing it to dehumanizing aspects of capitalism.
The mechanic dancehall patterns pulsate with the rhythmic heartbeat of machinery, while dissonant harmonies echo the complexities of a technologically driven existence. Machine noises seamlessly interweave with synthetic voices, whispering enigmatic tales of artificial intelligence in a paranoïaque atmosphere.
This second project from Emisora reflects the profound impact of a series of journeys through Southern Europe from 2018 to 2020. The release becomes a gateway to the memories of those travels, summoning the aura and mysteries that enveloped the regions.
Clownesque sequences gradually unfold, and reverberated dub chords weave through the air, creating a sonic tapestry that envelops the listener in a surreal dreamscape. The persistent motifs generate a rhythmic pulse that resonates with the unseen currents beneath the surface.
The first series produced by Emisora in 2020 is deeply stirred by a 2017 journey across North America, particularly a train expedition from Montreal to New York, winding through the scenic landscapes around Champlain Lake.
Dissonant notes resonate, accompanied by echoed drums, sounding akin to anxious breaths, that reverberate like distant memories. Nostalgic waves sweep through the composition, and melancholic layers unfold, mirroring the landscapes traversed.
Captured across diverse locations from 2017 to 2020, this release is shaped by the themes explored in “Manhole 69”, a short-story by J.G. Ballard. The narrative examines a unsettling experiment where three men undergo surgery to eliminate their ability to sleep.
Obsessive robotic grooves, intrusive rhythms, harsh echoes, and reverberated electronics mirror the collapsing sense of reality experienced by the test subjects. The Kafkaesque essence of the narrative permeates the sonic landscape, creating an immersive auditory experience that reflects the disquieting exploration of altered states and the human psyche.
