A-Side: SUPERANDOME (4:08)
text: Natascha Gangl, music: Rdeča Raketa (Maja Osojnik & Matija Schellander)
Superar means: to overcome, overtax and go beyond. Superandome means: to grow beyond oneself and thereby transcend that known self. How does that sound? And how does it sound as a Mexican experience? The electronics gurgle and spark, the world they create musically rattles. The language goes forward and backward at the same time and thereby rids itself of rational statements. A new feeling is created and makes room for Mexico as an assembly of curanderas and brujos, of old and new gods and goddesses, of overlapping history and stories. The sound presses and swells, a sound-thundercloud becomes an invocation, an ultimate “llamada” where even the machines begin to breathe.
B-Side: SUPER RANDOM ME (4:28)
text: Natascha Gangl, music: Rdeča Raketa (Maja Osojnik & Matija Schellander)
A miniature film that asks: What do you want to see? What do you want to see when your acoustic experience takes you on a journey into the surreal? When the music invites you into the rainy season, for a walk through the mud and suddenly in this world of sound the door opens and you are standing in a crowded subway. You start to find your way around, you start to explore and bam! You are standing in the rain again, in the mud; it glimmers, it shimmers and wham! A door opens and you are playing in the casino with the original Mexican question, “Where is the gold?” The composers combine their inspirations from acoustics and musique concrète to create a dream in four minutes and twenty-eight seconds in which natural and artificial spaces merge into one another. What is the reference? What will you stick to?
