ast#0071 Falésia by Hubert Heathertoes
My new EP “Falèsia” is out today! It’s a listening companion to the previous album. If you like a bit of glitchy IDM, trip hop with noir jazz and dub, floating in the sauce of plunderphonics and experimental electronics - dig in!
Those three tracks are based on linguistic concepts
As follows:
Falesia
n.the disquieting awareness that someone’s importance to you and your importance to them may not necessarily match—that your best friend might only think of you as a buddy, that someone you barely know might consider you a mentor, that someone you love unconditionally might have one or two conditions.
Portuguese falésia, cliff. A cliff is a dizzying meeting point between high ground and low ground. Pronounced “fuh-lee-zhuh.”
Ecury
n.a conversation that spans huge intervals of time, kept alive by contributors who casually overlay their thoughts as if no time had passed, which effectively compresses it all into a poignant temporal mash—an online thread that waits years between replies, a constitution being amended by successive generations, or a cave painting fleshed out in sessions ten thousand years apart, by artists who might each have been using the same discarded piece of charcoal.
Basque ekurrikatz, a piece of charcoal used for drawing. Pronounced “ek-yuh-ree.”
Lilo
n.a friendship that can lie dormant for years only to pick right back up instantly, as if you’d seen each other last week—which is all the more remarkable given that certain other people can make every lull in conversation feel like an eternity.
From lifelong + lie low. Pronounced “lahy-loh.”
Soufrise
n.the maddening thrill of an ambiguous flirtation, which quivers in tension halfway between platonic and romantic—maybe, but no, but maybe—leaving you guessing what’s going on inside their chest, forced to assume that at any given moment their attraction is both alive and dead at the same time.
French sourire, smile + frisson, a shiver of chill or excitement. Pronounced “soo-freez.” #heathertoes #astipalearecords
