<p>
<em>'redemption tour'</em> is a song I come back to over and over again.
</p>
<p>
Encountering the song for the first time was a beautiful experience. I
fell in love with the production and atmosphere of the song instantly.
</p>
<p>
Every subsequent listen still remains an unmatched minute and 40
seconds. During which a warm feeling within my chest, underneath where
the ribs meet to create the sternum, glows. I find that
<em>'redemption tour'</em> is a track absolutely bursting with
sincerity; as if it is daring you to drop all preconcieved notions of
irony, detachment and worries of coming off as 'cringe' through
modelling it to you itself. An approach I adore.
</p>
<p></p>
<p>
I rarely listen to this track once. I always make sure to queue it up at
least 2 times and would gladly repeat it into the double-digits. I
thought, maybe, to express the short length as a fault of the song,
though - after some thought - I feel it to be a good choice: as it is
somewhat repetitive, the track does not over-stay its welcome. One can
always invite it in again. Like I do, always.
</p>
<p>
It is a track that sits remarkably well in the negative-space within any
emotional state I am in:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Sadness</b> has me focus on the warbled and stretched notes she
sings as though they are near-faltering, lornful cries; and the
downward trajectory of the two-chord piano progression which makes me
feel heavy with each strike;
</li>
<li>
<b>Happiness</b> accentuates the beautiful interplay of the
<i>piano</i>, <i>pad</i> and <i>vocal runs</i>. The sung notes take on
a joyous, intimate and earnest quality that I can't help but fall in
love with;
</li>
<li>
<b>Tiredness</b>, in the morning or before I sleep, either renews my
excitement for the start of a day or grounds my body in the joy of
warmth and comfort under the covers, in anticipation of the coming
sleep.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
As I write this, I discover there are lyrics listed on her
<a
target="_blank"
href="https://klein1997.bandcamp.com/track/redemption-tour"
>
Bandcamp release of the track</a
>, which is an exciting discovery: I have spent many listens to this
track singing while emulating the pitch and quality but not knowing, for
sure, very many of the actual lyrical phrases.
</p>
<p>
All-in-all, <em>'redemption tour'</em> is a track that enhances the
experience of <i>the moment</i>. Whatever it is I am to feel, this track
is sure to multiply and encourage me to experience the happening in full
sincerity. <br />
Something, I find, to be so very important in our current world full of
irony-poisoning.

<h1>Music Recommendations</h1>
<hr />
<p>
The fact that it has taken this long for me to create a recommendation
list is absurd. You may recognise some tracks from reviews of mine I'm
yet to post. As a collated list, this serves much better for
recommendations.

<h1>About Me</h1>

<h2>The Short Version</h2>

<li>In Cyberspace I am nnwhen</li>

<h2>The Long Version</h2>
<h3>'I am nnwhen'</h3>
<p>
'<b>nnwhen</b>' would be best described as: <br />
a <b>moniker</b>; a <b>veil</b>; a <b>pseudonym</b>; a <b>body</b>.
<br />
The name I take in meatspace is different to the name I take here:
<q>nnwhen is bodiless euphoria</q>.
</p>
<p>
The name was chosen in response to and inspired by: my intuition as well
as digital formatting errors.
</p>
<h4>My intuition?</h4>
<p>
Yes. <br />
The sound of 'nnwhen' (&#x25B;n&#x25B;nw&#x25B;n) when spoken and the
symmetry of the letter 'n' on either side <i>felt</i> right.
</p>
<h4>Formatting Errors?</h4>
<p>
This was a pleasant surprise for me. After testing how the name felt to
read, speak and scrawl; I went to the internet to make sure it was not
already taken. <br />
It wasn't. At least not intentionally...
</p>
<p>
You see, '\n' is an
<a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline"
>escape sequence</a
>. Simply, it is the computer's equivalent to the Enter key: a new line;
\n; newline.
</p>
<p>
Therefore 'nn'when is the result of a computer misinterpreting the
intent of a person pressing Enter twice and starting their new paragraph
with "When".
</p>
<table style="width: 100%">
<tr style="text-align: center">
<td>"\n\nwhen"</td>
<td>"nnwhen"</td>
</tr>

<p>A glitch; an error.</p>
<h3>'I make Music and Other-Art'</h3>
<p>
The main focus of this site is my passion for the
<a target="_blank" href="../sound-design.html">music I make</a>. The aim
of this site being a repository and CV for those who are looking for
Soundtracking and Sound Design. <br />
Though I cannot completely disentangle the rest of my art from my music.
</p>
<p>
As for <q><b>Other-Art</b></q
>: <a target="_blank" href="../artwork.html">my imagery</a>,
<a target="_blank" href="../poetry/index.html">my poetry</a>,
<a target="_blank" href="index.html">my blog</a>
and little experimental things (like this website itself) also make an
appearance.
</p>
<h3>'I am part of Umbutho WokuThintana'</h3>
<p style="background-color: var(--blog-box); padding: 10px 15px">
<span><b>Umbutho WokuThintana</b></span> <br />
<q>
Phantsi noHlelo, phantsi! <br />
Singumbutho wabaqambi abasebenzela ubuciko obuningi, kuqukethe inoveli
yesiZulu yohlobo lweSci-Fi; umdlalo weshashalazi; ifilimu; umbukiso
ozwakalayo: “UkuThintana”.

<span><b>The Contact Collective</b></span> <br />
<q>
Down with the System, down! <br />
We are a Collective of Creatives working on an isiZulu Sci-Fi novel;
theatre piece; film; audio-visual experience: "UkuThintana".
<br />
Optimistic in Nature. Anarchist in Practice. Our goal is Community.

<p>
The Contact Collective - <i>Umbutho WokuThintana</i> - is an Artist
Collective
</p>
<p>
I take on many roles within this Anarchic Collective; though my official
job
<span style="color: var(--subtitle)"
>- a <i>'job'</i> as <i>'official'</i> as anarchism could allow
-</span

is '<b>Creative Lead</b>' and '<b>Production Manager</b>'.
</p>
<p>I take care of:</p>
<ul>
<li>Most admin-related tasks;</li>

<q>
It is important to mention that I do not feel fragmented between my
two names. They are different <i>bodies</i>, <i>vehicles</i>,
<i><b>intentions</b></i
>; not identities. <br />
The freedom of being nnwhen, an entity of my own actualisation, has
made the act of claiming my art as my own possible.
<u>I killed perfectionism</u>.
<br />
<br />
nnwhen's philosophy is one and the same as my own. <br />
nnwhen's ambitions as a project is one and the same as my own.

<h3>Background:</h3>
<p>
I have had a cassette deck for about a year now but only recently
managed to get my hands on actual cassette tapes. A few days of
tinkering with tape saturation went by with nothing really to show for
it - though I did send a few videos of awful bass-saturated tracks to a
couple friends.
</p>
<p>
On <b>30 Aug 2024</b> I was using the connected amplifier to peruse the
FM/AM radiowaves. I decided to sample the static and turned on my PC,
which immediately sent the signal spiralling into absolute chaos.
<em>Perfect</em>.
</p>
<br />
<h2>Let me state my Agenda explicitly:</h2>
<p>
<span class="highlight"
>I am concerned that I, as nnwhen, will fall into a cycle of caring
more about nurturing a mystique than the act of freely creating music
and art.</span
>
This blog-post is about what <b>proactive</b> steps I take to make sure
that never happens. And why I think it's important for you to find your
own methods too.
</p>
<h3>The Why:</h3>
<p>
My previous week had been devoid of any real creative or even mundane
action. It was becoming easy to just let things happen at me. Though it
must be acknowledged that I was quite fatigued and disheartened. I had
taken care of myself well, but the next step was making sure I didn't
remain stagnant once the extended rest was no longer needed.
</p>
<p>
And so: Beyond me wanting to remain authentic and avoid the allure of a
perfect facade, this was a great way to practice not only making an
Album/EP but starting, finishing and uploading one too. I have quite
literally made dozens of Albums that have not yet seen the light of day.
<span class="highlight"
>My problem is: Sticking to my decision to <b>make something</b> and
committing to <b>putting my creations out into the world</b>.</span
>
</p>
<h3>The What:</h3>
<p>
<em>
<a
target="_blank"
aria-label="2024 08 30 Pieces of Me In Magnetic Form"
href="https://soundcloud.com/nnwhen/sets/20240830-piecesofmeinmagneticform"
>'20240830-PiecesOfMeInMagneticForm'</a
>
</em>
was an intentional choice to engage in an intuitive and somewhat manic
act of music creation. The goal being:
<span class="highlight"
>To create a 'completed' piece of art <b>within a day</b>,
<b>pushing past perfectionism</b>, and having <b>full faith</b> in the
process.</span
>
I was to hit record on the cassette deck and tune through the
frequencies on my radio. Then to record from my PC as I dug up and
played media and found-footage of myself and friends. Everything had to
be on my disk already, or from the radio: Easy, Accessible, Ready.
</p>
<h3>The How:</h3>
<p>
I was much too scared to twist the knobs and dials on my receiver as
well as randomly opening video and audio files on my PC at first; it was
a non-scripted performance and anything could have happened. I was
scared of making a mistake, <b>being 'cringe'</b>. I kept this in mind.
I made sure I intentionally usurped that fear.
<span class="highlight">I must be afraid and do it anyway.</span>
</p>
<p>
Instead of letting the dislike of the early stages of garbled static,
distorted voices and contextless media stop me, I held my judgement and
kept experimenting. I listened back to my recordings with a different
ear. Before I was preoccupied with pushing through the anxiety, now I
could listen to what I recorded.
<span class="highlight"
>It wasn't long until the arrangement became something I couldn't help
but find fascinating.</span
>
I am still genuinely surprised at the coherent and beautiful story it
became.
</p>
<br />

<h2>Credits and Contexts:</h2>
<hr />
<hr />
<p>
I wrote this blog-post to credit the things that were not recordings of
my friends or ephemeral radio recordings. And more importantly: Point
you toward other media that didn't make it in or I was reminded of.
</p>
<h3>

<p>
<b>Neptune Frost</b> was what made up the backbone of

they adored it.

<p>
This didn't actually make it into the EP despite me having sampled it on
my <em>PiecesOfMeInMagneticForm</em> tape. Doddodo has been great
inspiration with regards to making messy and fun music. I first found
her

track, which remains my absolute favourite.

<p>
As it turns out, most of this EP was random static and my friends
chatting shit. Hope you enjoyed it!
