about

Chaix/Ko is a SoundScope (SNsC-02) by OliSUn.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

MUSIC by OliSUn:
'Chaix' is a unique track of 40mn-long approx, divided into 4 parts:

❜ Part I: Float
❜ Part II: Flow
❜ Part III: Enslave
❜ Part IV: Collapse

The 3 Hopis's prophecies:
❜ If we dig precious things from the land, we will invite disaster.

❜❜ Near the Day of Purification, there will be cobwebs spun back and forth in the sky.

❜❜❜ A container of ashes might one day be thrown from the sky which could burn the land and boil the oceans.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

The sound doesn't illustrate the visuals but quite the opposite, this consists in a sound allegory supporting an unbridled imagery specific to each of us. The soundtrack of (y)our own interior film, that we named, SoundScope.

The complete track sails near the concept of Hauntology as conceived by french philosopher Jacques Derrida, exploring ideas related to temporal disjunction, retrofuturism, cultural memory, and permanence of the past.

We propose you 2 options:
- 1/ the choice of an excellent personal journey, wether with your eyes closed, to take full advantage of the effects of deep stereophony, thrilling infra-bass and other bursts of delicate saturation, thus leaving you complete freedom to create your own imaginary cinematography.
- 2/ Wether, eyes wide open, we offer you the non-narrative/documentary visual illustration that we have selected for you: 'Koyaanisqatsi' by Godfrey Reggio, a film dating from 1982.

VISUALS by Godfrey Reggio :
'Koyaanisqatsi' is a 1982 film directed by Godfrey Reggio with music originally composed by Philip Glass and cinematography by Ron Fricke. The film consists primarily of slow motion and time-lapse photography of cities and many natural landscapes across the United States. The visual tone poem contains neither dialogue nor a vocalized narration: its tone is set by the juxtaposition of images and music. In the Hopi language, the word Koyaanisqatsi means 'crazy life, life in turmoil, life out of balance, life disintegrating, a state of life that calls for another way of living', and the film implies that modern humanity is living in such a way. The film is the first in the Qatsi trilogy of films: it is followed by Powaqqatsi (1988) and Naqoyqatsi (2002). The trilogy depicts different aspects of the relationship between humans, nature, and technology. Koyaanisqatsi is the best known of the trilogy and is considered a cult film.
