August has arrived and so the new Atmospheres episode curated by Medulla Oblongata!
Cultivating a long passion for ambient music, Medulla Oblongata is an emerging DJ who blossoms in his musical biotope between atmospheric and hypnotic techno. His hybrid mixes are characterized by a combination of tape samples, droning machine loops, and synthesizers. Together with other friends, Medulla Oblongata founded TRÊVE, a collective and podcast series gathering artists from different horizons around ambient and visual arts.
For this occasion, he put together a mixtape with a precise idea of storytelling in mind: "I recently learned that James Marion Sims became the "father of modern gynecology" performing numerous torture interventions on enslaved women without anesthesia. What suffering could these women have endured? How this historical background has contributed to the current male-dominated practice of obstetrics? As an artist, I'm trying to convey a political message through only instrumental music. From the first track starting with a predatory growl to the final track called "Rebirth" saturated with exploding noise textures, I tried to construct the music of a mental state at death's door, somewhere between a coma caused by suffering and traumatic dissociation".
Enjoy!
