"Life in Warp" is the debut album from the Portuguese producer “A lake by the mõõn”. Every sound (like literally every sound, every kick, synth, etc) you hear in the record was created from field recordings of living beings that are, or have been, endangered since the beginning of the Anthropocene.Some of the sounds in the album were kept untouched from their original field recording, and others went through various processes of extreme digital manipulation in order to be transformed into all sorts of material. Blending the raw and processed sounds, the animal’s voices are recontextualized from their collapsing ecosystems into a new world of organic electronic music.
“Life in Warp” invites you to observe and experience wildlife in a new way, it invites you to pay deep attention to what sound has to teach us about the state of our planet, it gives you a chance to listen to the frightened sounds of the beings that have been ignored and tortured for far too long. In hopes that this album will give you courage to act against our’s and other beings' extinction.
We are facing the worst crisis humanity has ever seen. There are more than 1 million endangered species on the planet right now. Since 1970 Earth has lost 60% of all animal life. We are living through the 6th mass extinction. We urgently need to stop, listen, imagine and act. We manifest against the narratives of fatalism and of fake hopes!
Clock is ticking.
