Futura Resistenza bringen in den nächsten Tagen eine LP des peruanischen Komponisten und Performers Efra​í​n Rozas heraus, das Material wurde live während einer Installation im New Yorker Queenslab aufgenommen. In dieser Arbeit geht der Künstler der Frage nach einer Kunst nach, die auf nichtlinearen Zeitkonzepten basiert und sich so von westlichen Musiktraditionen löst. Das Album enthält zwei seitenfüllende Stücke (“Stills”) und ist auch digital erhältlich.

“Have you noticed that Western music emphasises linear time? Melody is a continuous sequence of sounds. Harmony and rhythm follow a progression from beginning through climax and resolution. Is it possible to have an art that is based on non-linear time? Can we even experience non-linear time? [...] During a residency hosted by The Kitchen at Queenslab, Peruvian composer, performer, and software developer Efraín Rozas created a new sound installation titled Still. Rozas developed the conceptual framework for Still during a global pandemic that has disturbed Western thought at its core, radically reorienting the ways that we structure life according to capitalist demands, and proving the unsustainability of human life at its prior pace. These changes made clear the need to rethink the ways that the foundational concepts of our existence are reliant upon a conception of linear time. For Rozas, being—rather than a condition which solely relates to life and death—has to do more with expansive biological and emotional networks that come before us and will last after us. Rozas asks us to consider what we can achieve if we acknowledge the realities of cyclical, pendular, parallel, static, and virtual time. Still aims to generate a synesthetic experience of silence in which the act of listening is not isolated from other senses”. (Futura Resistenza)
