„How do you explain that we sometimes understand each other with very few words, as if we were already lovers elsewhere, somewhere that goes beyond what we usually perceive and call reality? Perhaps we’re constantly opening portals between dimensions, where the same information is expressed through different codes,“ thinks Edna.
Portails, the Marseille-based producer’s upcoming album that will be out on January 17th, is about transcending boundaries, with each track serving as a portal to a distinct soundworld populated by strange, otherworldly creatures. Musically, it navigates a landscape of cross-genre experimentation, demonstrating how a narrative can emerge through contrasting genres and sound textures. Each track taps into the same emotional core, using different sonic languages to express a unified journey.
Edna is mixing her own voice, sound art with various creative samples, club experiments and we can find here even synth pattern inspired by Vivaldi.
Via Swine Daily, you can stream „Sex With Insects“ which references the niche trend of consensual insect porn. Built on a hollow, resonant kick, with syncopated rhythms, a roaring bass, and bed squeaks, this track pulses with primal energy and backroom sweat. Other songs on the Portails combine breakbeats and pounding techno, vocal samples from SOPHIE. On „Spooky Action“ – eerie synth textures set the atmospheric tone, while Tilda Swinton’s words from Only Lovers Left Alive muse on self-obsession and affection for nature and others.
On the final song, CDMX-based young radical innovator DJ WEED (check out her EP for Swine Records) is remixing „Sex with insects„. She develops astringent textures and restless beats in a freaky transexual mutant backroom ambiance.
Composition, mixing and mastering mostly took place in Submarine FM’s studio, in Blacieux, Ardèche. A cute place, in an old barn, overhanging the Rhône, masked by a fig tree, with cats, chickens and ducks for confidents. This EP carries with it the atmosphere of solitude and the natural beauty of the surroundings. The sight of apricots rotting in the summer sun, the Rhône flowing below, the low-hanging clouds and mature blackberries all left their imprint on the music’s texture.
