"Azdora"


Azdora by Markus Ohrn In collaboration with Jakob Öhrman and ?Alos


Santarcangelo Festival 10/19 Luglio


Azdora

In the Romagna dialect, the word azdora refers to the mistress of a house, the mother of a family, the woman in charge, the only person who bears the responsibility of the household. It is a term connected to care and the female world; the azdora is not allowed any destructive attitude and bestowed with high power and authority in the family’s geometries, yet she can’t afford absences or counterproductive feelings as their cost would be the failure of the oikonomia.

Markus Öhrn, starting from this figure and as a tribute to his own grandmother Eva Britt from northern Sweden, engages in a deeper exploration of the azdora’s real character in their context. During a long residency in Santarcangelo, Öhrn gathered some azdore and built with and for them, performative situations, where their most obscure and destructive character could finally emerge. The azadore inhabit the Spazio Saigi dedicated to them, inviting the audience to partake and discover what it doesn’t know yet. The result resembles a black metal/nosie ritual put together by the azdore from Romagna and Markus Öhrn, in collaboration with ?Alos, musician and an experimental performer, member of the band OvO.

Markus Öhrn is a Swedish visual artist, who studied at the Konstfack (Stockholm). He works with different formats, from dramaturgy to video installation and music performances. He presented his work in different contexts, festivals and international theatres, among others, the Avignon Festival and Transamériques (Montréal). In 2015 his work is presented for the first time in Italy.

review on CVLT Nation

?Alos "Matrice" review on CVLT Nation by Mattia Alagna :

"?Alos is a solo noise/drone/industrial project by Stefania Pedretti of notorious Italian sludge/noise behemoths OVO, a band that needs no fucking introdcution whatsoever – just look them up, they rule and have toured the world and released amazing albums for twenty years now. In ?Alos, Stefania approaches sludge and noise from a different perspective, approaching it from the trajectory of industrial music. The drum machines are crushing and the soundscapes are absolutely mesmerizing and haunting. If you like shit like Black Boned Angel, Nadja, Jesu, and Halo and other more electronic-based stuff like Necro Deathmort, Skinny Puppy, Scorn and Final, then you will love ?Alos’s brutal and cybernetic take on industrial doom and sludge.!

Matrice is the new upcoming album of ?Alos, due for release on March 16th 2015 through the Belgian Cheap Satanism Rec and distributed on CD/ LP/MC/Digital format. The album was recorded,mixed and mastered by Lorenzo Stecconi (Lento) at Ardis Hall Ravenna, place that holds reharsals for both well known “Fanny&Alexander” Theatre Company and Cooperativa E.
Matrice is dark, rich in Metal and Doom influences tainted by elements of electronics, skillfully woven to give life to flowing music and at the same time incessant in its shape.
?Alos spans from dreadful malaise to a seemingly seductive composure; through growls and screaming, ushered in by the unique sound of her guitar, she takes the listener into her “chaotic” world built on Archetypes, music, performance, dancing, political activism, social criticism, history, feminism, queer theory, anarchy.
The name of the album leads back to multiple concepts, metaphorically it is what underlies the origins, the basic cause, the element of inspiration. The track titles are taken from the opus magno and have been inspired by Hermetical/Alchemist imagery.
Apprehension of Death seems lingering throughout the whole record, but it’s in Ecate where it becomes the main character: the track, beyond bridging the past to the present (the previous album was titled Era), is inspired by the Greek-Roman Goddes capable of travelling freely between the human world, that of the Gods and the Kingdom of the Dead.
Luce/Tenebre is the conceptual oxymoron par excellence, a sonic illustration of the metaphysical image of both realities which are seemingly separated in the human mind, but united in a unique shape. “Darkness is pure spirit, radical and metaphysical basis, unique reality; Light is matter, subjective effect, ostensible brightness, Illusion.”
Ignis red elixer is spawned by the union of two terms that lead back to the Greek/Roman tradition in which fire was commonly associated with qualities such as determination, energy, passion and the red elixer, otherwise blood, was the symbol of life; the two words marry perfectly the full blooded essence trickled by this record, whose peak is represented right by the title track Matrice, ambiguous and chaotic matter, honed by an incessant electronic beat which exalts the track’s dark side.
The album ends linking up to the matrix on which it’s founded and reaches its peak with the track Hyle, inspired by a 17th century manuscript about alchemy written in which once again concepts about matter, chaos and chance become protagonists for in-depth analysis of philosophical sorts.
Various guests have contributed to the creation of this record: Mai Mai Mai on Ignis red elixer ( beat programming and electronics, produced and recorded by Valerio Fisik at HombreLobo Studio in Rome), Necro Deathmort with electronics on Matrice and Giovanni Todisco on percussion for Hyle.
?Alos has once again gifted us with a personal record, unconventional, a precious jewel that sits in an unpredicatbale musical world where akwardness, life and death come together to a point where they create Orerly Chaos in the very much taken up matrix. This is ?Alos and much more: ?Alos is Chaos when it takes shape.

reviews

Matrice reviews:
on Iye zine:
"In questo disco il femminino dimenticato e sepolto da questa nostra società scatena il caos primordiale, un flusso demoniaco che parte dall’utero, si espande attraverso il rumore e ci travolge.
Matrice non è un disco facile, ma non è un’opera fatta per essere ascoltata o per rilassare, ma è un vortice che ci avvolge.
?Alos è tutta la carriera di Stefania che scorre, con la donna al centro e le forze del caos che muovono il tutto."

http://www.distopic.it/alos-matrice/

On Idie-eye by Michele Faggi:
"?Alos raggiunge la forza pre-semantica di un fonema da scagliare. La sua voce improvvisamente si può toccare, come una ferita ai cui estremi ci sono i generi (musicali, sessuali, narrativi) prima che il linguaggio li definisse. Il mostruoso-femminile di ?Alos non ha niente a che vedere con il femminismo d'accatto delle nostre cantantesse, perchè tutte quelle forme rappresentative negate, elise e spesso soppresse, emergono nella documentazione di una corporeità feconda e ribollente attraverso la voce nuda, mettendo in primo piano la secrezione, il gorgoglio, il rantolo, la creazione di tutte le forme di vita per partenogenesi, oltre i generi."

Out March 16th "Matrice" album




Brussels-based records label Cheap Satanism Records will release the upcoming album ?Alos on March 16th on LP/CD/Digital. This new album is entitled Matrice and was recorded, mixed and mastered by Lorenzo Stecconi - Sound Engineering Services (Lento). It features contribution from the electronic artist Mai Mai Mai, the percussionist Giovanni Todisco and the sludgy-electronic duo Necro Deathmort

With Matrice ?Alos once again gifts us with a personal record, unconventional, a precious jewel that sits in an unpredictable musical world where awkwardness, life and death come together to a point where they create Orderly Chaos in the very much taken up matrix.

The album comes along with a European tour which will start in Italy in Spring.
?Alos is the solo project of the musician and experimental performer Stefania Pedretti. She is also known for her work with the italian duo OvO. Stefania defines/tags herself as the Muse of Chaos (queer-pagan-doom-avant-metal).

Cheap Satanism Records have been long time fan of her work both with ?Alos and OvO. Faithful followers of these worthless demon worshippers might remember that they have already booked ?Alos for a incredible performance in support of Carla Buzolich's Evanglista and that Stefania was featured on Joy As A Toy's second album, Dead As A Dodo.

?Alos is the fifth Italian artist which works with Cheap Satanism Records. The label has already released records fromGermanotta Youth, Fuzz Ochestra, (r) and Agatha.
