No T ve hurs m day be r7 Vladimir Ivkovic presents: 20 years after Suba / Rex Ilusivii’s death In 1995, Serbian-born, Brazil-based producer Mitar Subotić – also known as Suba and Rex Illusivii – created ‘Wayang’, an album that would be considered visionary even by today’s standards. Twenty years after Subatíc’s untimely death, this lost classic remains an absolute crowning point within the experimental electronic music canon, lacing together polyrhythmic inflections, archived sound, industrial atmospherics, vocal chanting and more to create baffling music that’s both cinematic in scope and propulsive in its execution. Vladimir Ivkovic, DJ and founder of imprint Offen Music, will present a deep listening session with unreleased and exclusive Suba / Rex Ilusivii material that isn’t available to listen to anywhere else, to remember Subotić after his death, 20 years ago.
Visible Cloacks & Yoshio Ojima & Satsuko Shibano You know that mechanism where you whisper a message in a circle of people – and as its passed on back to you, that message becomes distorted? That’s a little bit what Portland duo Visible Cloaks did with Japanese musicians Yoshio Ojima and Satsuki Sibano on their joint record ‘serenitatem’. Instead of whispers, they exchanged MIDI-based musical ideas. As a result, they made music that blurs concepts between the human-made and machine-made, almost sentient in its progression and emotional charge.
