nothing of what is known of the means proper to philosophical investigation can inspire in them any confidence; philosophy has been, up to this point, as much as science, an expression of human subordination, and when one seeks to represent theirselve, no longer as a moment of a homogenous process- of a necessary and pitifull process- but as a new laceration within a lacerated nature, it is no longer the levelling phraseology coming to them from understanding that can help them: they can no longer recognise theirselve in the degrading chains of logic, but they recognise theirselve, instead- not only with rage but in an ecstatic torment- in the virulence of their own phantasms.
georges bataille-
FUJAKO came out of the clash of Jonathan Uliel Saldanha and Nyko Esterle, two producers obsessed with echo and bass. The first one, raised in Portugal and part of the collectives Soopa and Mécanosphère, deals with sonic alchemy, and is also known as HHY. The second one, raised in France, part of the Radon collective and a rider of the sound waves, is also known as Ripit. Both met to summon music of unlooped hip-hop, filled with spectres of haunting dub and ecstatic scapes.
LANDFORM, their first record (out on Wordsound Digital) was born in a small stone house studio in the burnt forests and mountains of Portugal, between paradise and the gate of hell, made from soundscapes and beats recorded on mostly acoustic instruments, created in an hostile -yet natural- environment. After the initial production phase in the woods, LANDFORM was then haunted by the voices of several guests such as Sensational, Seraphim, Native, Cheravif and Scalper, as well as by the additional trash turntablism of DJ Urine.
We proudly present our last short movie shooted and directed by the Vidio.Atak!
An army of beauties, crazy druid, strong males, head-banging transvestites, bizarre drug, sexy princess and a big buckett of blood for a shamanic rock’n'roll ceremony hidden behind a free-fight competition leads to massacre.
As winter hibernation and spring awakening gives way to summer, Halo Manash rises radiant into luminosity, with wings spread into all worlds, and brings forth Taiwaskivi, an opulent work of solar ambience and primordial Ur-music.
Taiwaskivi, a work of sonic flame and aural ash, consists of seven interrelated tracks, utilizing such diverse instrumentation as organ, horns, vocals, drums, gongs, percussions and various string instruments as well as field-recordings captured during the pilgrimage that the creation of the work embodies.
An air of finality abounds, as Taiwaskivi, although a complete work in itself, can also be viewed as the third and final facet of a tripartite series of works that are part of one holistic creation – a treelogy, with seed, root, trunk and finally, branches. Being the culmination of an ascending journey through the aforementioned realms within and without, Taiwaskivi is the celestial crown at the peak, reaching toward Sol, source and beyond; it is the leaves and fruit of the branches and their skybound nectar ever-flowing - the sacred fire, the consummation and conjunction of All.
