released March 13, 2022

Literary influences play an important part in electroacoustic composer Boban Ristevski's work, and this international collaboration with Anja Kreysing (accordion, electronics) and Petrolio (synth, noises, machines) is no exception. 'Soleil Noir' is the title of book by Julia Kristeva, to whom the album is dedicated. The subtitle of the 1987 volume by the Bulgarian-born French psychoanalyst, literary theorist and feminist philosopher gives a clue as to what's meant by that 'black sun': 'dépression et mélancolie'.

'Machines' are of course always at work in electronic music, but most people would probably call them 'devices' or 'electronic instruments'. Or 'computers'. The fact that Petrolio refers to them with this rather industrial-sounding term ­ and makes them sound rather industrial, too - invokes the idea of the alienating grind of the machinery of everyday life under capitalism that gives ample reason for depression and melancholy. The musicians set out to deconstruct, even dissolve such rigid rhythms into more fluid sonic states – which one could theorise using Julia Kristeva's own ideas of the 'oceanic', if so inclined –, which eventually stop being states at all but become an ongoing process. While the mood of the album is rather sombre, the fact that things are in a constant state of flux opens up a range of possibilities for listeners.

about

Boban Ristevski Skopje, North Macedonia

Few of the music projects of B Ristevski are concentrated and based on exploring mostly the ambient / drone and industrial / noise related kinds of music. With elements of minimalism / improvisation / abstraction, etc. ; the music is balancing between the more structured forms and an improvised approach to music.

He's also writing, some kind of essays and translating, from english to macedonian.
