second unstable assemblage of carb✻nated music from powell ☆ made available via a ƒolder ⧉ aƒ19 could be read/misunderstood as a twin to aƒ18 ↱ hence their proximity in a non-chronological catalogue ⧉

each is the same ❊ equally, each is completely different. here, outside-time rhythmic conflations captured in moments of clear sight; there, hYper-ac⊛ustic lines of flight ± aberrant synthetic entanglements ⨳

➜
please note: trk 3, ‘☆ difference, for nik ☆’, is dedicated to Nik Powell, whose life and legacy will continue to inspire ⧉

a ƒolder is a new polyphonic outputting organism that contracts ⊹ expands, inflates ⊹ deflates, to include the carb⊛nated computer music and compositional work of Oscar Powell and the H!-sensitive film and image work of Michael Amstad and Marte Eknæs ⧉

➜
the platform was established to proliferate more flexible and ✰ spontaneous ✰ modes of expression in a range of indeterminate formats. every ƒolder [or release] can be seen as a vessel for other things: a place where music, film, image, text ± other actual/virtual ideas are free to diverge/converge → to collect, collide and multiply according to NON-sensical rules ✰ each ƒolder is catalogued and archived non-chronologically at a folder.studio ⧉

➜
in every aspect, a ƒolder aims to make visible that which would otherwise remain invisible, and to saturate what might be seen as plain ⧉

➜
in an inflated state, as a live physical or virtual performance, the project absorbs the real-time processing sys⨧ems and virtual multiplication of artist and researcher Mathias Gmachl ↯ farmers manual ↯ each live entanglement ⨳ functions as a multi-sensory overload, an unstable assemblage that folds and unfolds across time, actual/√irtual space and alternate planes of reference ☀︎ in this networked state, its borders remain open, even when traditional borders are closed ⤵︎
