			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mit &#8220;Syndesis&#8221; veröffentlicht Madeleine Cocolas am 1. August ein neues Album digital bei Room40, das ihre Rückkehr nach Griechenland zwanzig Jahre nach dem ersten Besuch in berührender musikalischer Form verarbeitet. Aus Aufnahmen vor Ort – etwa vom Wasser am Bourtzi-Fort oder den Glocken von St. Georg in Nafplio – hat sie klangliche Momente festgehalten, die sie mit feinem<a href="http://africanpaper.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/syndesis.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-46645" title="syndesis" src="http://africanpaper.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/syndesis.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="1200" /></a><span id="more-46644"></span></p>
<p>Gespür zu dichten, atmosphärisch aufgeladenen Kompositionen verwoben hat. Die Stücke bewegen sich im Bereich ambienter Soundscapes, sind reich an Details, bisweilen orgelartig aufgeladen und zeigen Cocolas&#8217; Fähigkeit, Erinnerung, Ort und Emotion auf subtile Weise in Verbindung zu setzen. So entsteht Musik, die weniger erzählt als erinnert und dabei nie rein dokumentarisch bleibt.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ende des Monats erscheint ein Remixalbum des vor rund einem Jahr erschienenen jüngsten Longplayers des kalifornischen Komponisten und Multimediakünstlers Yann Novak, aus &#8220;The Voice of Theseus&#8221; wird &#8220;The Voices of Theseus&#8221;. Die Kollegen Madeleine Cocolas, Lawrence English, FAX und Bana Haffar nehmen sich Tracks des konzeptuell ausgerichteten Originals an und verschaffen diesen einen alternativen Charakter. Zu hören sind auch diesmal wieder die Vokalbeiträge von Gabriel Brenner und Dorian Wood. <a href="http://africanpaper.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/thevoicesoftheseus.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-41831" title="thevoicesoftheseus" src="http://africanpaper.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/thevoicesoftheseus.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="1200" /></a><span id="more-41830"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;The legend of Theseus, who saved Athens&#8217; children from the Minotaur, led to a commemorative pilgrimage involving the ship of Theseus, sparking a philosophical paradox: when does a ship, repaired piece by piece, cease to be the same entity? On my last album, I utilized the myth of Theseus’ ship as an ontological framework to tease at the nuances of sameness. Reality is elastic; it is a multifaceted composition that can be observed and interpreted, and altered, in an innumerable number of ways. The identity of an object or a moment is flexible, partially dependent on how it is perceived. And yet, because of my partial color blindness, dyslexia, and tinnitus, I can’t trust my own perception. There’s no real way to know how great the disparity is between my observed experiences and those of another. It is plausible then to suggest that there is no clear limit of how many pieces of our shared reality can be removed before it stops being just that. On The Voices of Theseus, I sought to further complicate this framework. First I invited artists Madeleine Cocolas, Lawrence English, FAX, and Bana Haffar to remix tracks from the album, challenging the boundaries of authenticity, identity, and transformation. While these artists were working on their remixes I had the opportunity to perform this body of work with a number of live vocalists, the last of which was G. Brenner. Our performance pulled me so far outside my comfort zone, that I felt this experience should not be limited to performance alone. It was this desire that led to me inviting G. Brenner to the studio to record new versions of four tracks from the album. Together these eight pieces create an alternate rendering of The Voice of Theseus, through different sets of eyes, ears, and perceptual differences. The Voices of Theseus invites listeners to question how these collaborators, and own their unique perceptions, might diverge from others&#8217; highlighting the indeterminate nature of reality and the inherent uncertainty in shared experiences&#8221;.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Die aus dem australischen Brisbane stammende Komponistin und Klangkünstlerin Madeleine Cocolas bringt Mitte des Monats eine neue CD unter dem Titel &#8220;Spectral&#8221; heraus. &#8220;Spectral&#8221; hat dem Titel nicht ganz unentsprechend eine entrückte Aura und fungiert als berührende, tagebuchartige Feier vertrauter Sounds aus der persönlichen Umgebung der Künstlerin, teilweise eingebunden, in amalgamierte, ambiente Klangflüsse, teilweise mit immer noch gut erkennbaren klanglichen Details arbeitend. Mit einem punktuellen Gitarrenbeitrag von Anthony Cocalas sowie Artwork und Video von Vanessa Van Dalsen (Vivid Visual) ist &#8220;Spectral&#8221; auch ein gemeinschaftliches Werk. Es erscheint &#8211; auch als Download &#8211; bei Room40.<a href="http://africanpaper.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/spectral.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-30409" title="spectral" src="http://africanpaper.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/spectral.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="1200" /></a><span id="more-30407"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;Spectral is built on a foundation of sounds I collected from my immediate surroundings in recent times. It’s a familiar story, casting your ears close to home. I captured these sounds as a type of aural diary to mark days and weeks as they passed. As our physical worlds seemed to become smaller, my senses of observation and perception of my immediate surroundings sharpened. Inside these small spaces I found a wellspring of materials that seemed to offer themselves up. At the time I didn’t know why I was collecting sounds or what I would do with them, it just felt like something I needed to do and it helped me stay connected and feel tethered to my surroundings. With my phone on hand, ready to record on walks around the block, past whirring industrial machines, deafening crickets and crashing storms, I found so much beauty and meaning in the sounds and the recordings I collected.<a href="http://africanpaper.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Madeleine-Cocolas-by-Vanessa-van-Dalsen.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-30410" title="Madeleine Cocolas by Vanessa van Dalsen" src="http://africanpaper.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Madeleine-Cocolas-by-Vanessa-van-Dalsen.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="312" /></a>As the collection grew, I could sense these links between them, some sounds seemed to gravitate towards one another, they self arranged almost. It felt very natural to then build layers over the top of them, to be able to express some of the emotions that the sounds triggered, of memories from the moments from when they were captured. At its core, Spectral is about deep stillness, observation and perception underpinned by emotional expression. It is a subtle shift in memory, a recolouring of the world we think we know and a willingness to lean into that possibility. &#8221; (Madeleine Cocolas)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Unter dem Titel &#8220;Ithaca&#8221; erscheint dieser Tage ein neues Album der australischen Komponistin, Producerin und Musikwissenschaftlerin Madeleine Cocolas als Download auf dem Room40-Ableger Someone Good. Die acht Stücke, in denen kristallklarer Ambient, neoklassische Pianoparts und dezent eingesetzte Samples den Ton angeben, reflektieren die Erfahrungen der Künstlerin, als sie nach einem mehrjährigen Aufenthalt in Nordamerika in ihre Heimatstadt Brisbane zugrückgekehrt ist und strahlen &#8211; ohne Downer zu sein &#8211; eine nachdenkliche bis melancholische Besinnlichkeit aus. Der Titel des von Lawrence English gemasterten Albums referiert auf den Namen ihres Stadtviertels, der auf eine ähnlich klingende Ortsbezeichnung aus den Jagera- und Turrbal-Sprachen zurückgeht, die durch die Namensgebung gewürdigt werden sollen.<a href="http://africanpaper.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/RMSG019_front.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21045" title="RMSG019_front" src="http://africanpaper.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/RMSG019_front.jpg" alt="" width="4000" height="4000" /></a><br />
<span id="more-21044"></span>&#8220;Having spent the better part of a decade working overseas, Madeleine Cocolas recently returned to Australia and set about crafting Ithaca, her poetic reading of place, cast in sound. An audio diary of sorts, this record etches out that sense of the strange familiar. It is the soundtrack to a returning to place that exists mostly in memory, only to find that its rhythms, patterns and appearances have shifted in your absence. Musically Cocolas calls on the pulsing rhythmic phases of Maggi Payne and Laurie Spiegel and settles them in alongside piano ladened harmonic landscapes that bring to mind Harold Budd’s more reflective moments. This album is a drifting discovery of self in time and place, adorned with all the beautiful subtlety that such an experience brings.&#8221; (Someone Good)</p>
