Since 2020 they are residents on NTS with a monthly show. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGrounded in the rich and enigmatic digital soundworld of LABOUR, nine-sum sorcery features the renowned Kurdish singer, Hani Mojtahedy, a prolific performer and recording artist firmly grounded in the traditional vocal styles of both Kurdistan and Iran. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFollowing LABOUR’s now legendary closing of Berlin Atonal’s main stage in 2018 with their inaugural work, next time, die consciously (یگناگیب), the duo embarked on a grand journey with Hani Mojtahedy, towards a remarkable synthesis of traditions and practices, uniting computer music and avant-garde sensibilities with traditional vocal practice. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003enine-sum sorcery is a long-form piece that unfolds over two sections, A and B, and can be understood as an occult incitation to the dark energies, natural, political and otherwise, that are released when oil is extracted from the ground. This ritual is focused through the enigmatic electronic and percussion composition from LABOUR which alternates between foreground and background for the haunting vocal performance of Mojtahedy, who interprets Kurdish and Persian verses. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is first release on Studio LABOUR, the new independent label in Berlin that provides a platform for avant-gardists creating works based on sound. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStudio LABOUR seeks to contribute toward spaces of non-conforming social practices and identities, and revisits the nature of work as a potentially transformative activity. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrom sound artists to electronic musicians to composers; visual artists to performance artists to critical theorists; the represented artists are united not via discipline or genre, but rather through individuated orientation towards radical perspective that are either based-in or engaged-with sound as a medium, at least in the instance of their release\/work with the label. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTRACKLIST: \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA. nine-sum sorcery A (14.21) B. nine-sum sorcery B (16.10)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e","brand":"STUDIO LABOUR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36340241301660,"sku":"SL001","price":16.18,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/LABOURfeat.HaniMojtahedy-nine-sumsorcery.jpg?v=1601912939","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/labour-feat-hani-mojtahedy-nine-sum-sorcery","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
