REIFSMA

by IFS MA

supported by

Thibaut Devigne A form of experimental music accompanied by spoken word in Japanese. It's really interesting. I do not understand Japanese enough to be know what the text is about, but it adds a musical dimension to the composition which is very nice.

about

Producer duo IFS and Japanese rapper MA team up for a collective ritual.

Imagine a consciousness saturated with a psychoactive substance. Perceptual precision spills out of the defined limits, colours blur and the edges of objects become sticky and stretchy. At this borderline moment, between waking and hallucination, the pulse is activated. It begins to accelerate. It forces the body to react immediately. A syncopated strobe flashes with rhythm. A figure that is a voice enters the stage. With each formed word, the voice sinks into its sound, dissolving meaning into the fractal sonority of language.

REIFSMA activates in apparent simplicity. The initial drum loops sound familiar ('Heddchara'), but then - from behind the sliding curtain of the beat - MA appears on stage. He begins to weave his multi-layered story. His voice seems to be in many places at once. On the one hand, he is trying to create some kind of narrative, but at the same time he can't stop himself from uncontrollable, sound-alike digressions that spread in different directions. The stories told by MA seem to oscillate around automatic writing and create snapshot images of a frenetic mind reacting to the slightest hint of reality. MA's voice shows its wide register and different frequencies, as if it is capturing from within the streams of consciousness of different people lending itself to them to spin their own stories. There is something sensually primal in this gesture, playing out beyond the control of habitually trained attention. The IFS duo's rushing beats follow the shamanic MA like his shadow. They accompany him with their jitteriness ("Shinnyu"), nervous loops ("Yaksoq") and breadth of perspective ("Enshooritz"). However, they do not pretend to distract from MA's voice; rather, they try to frame a broad panorama for the ritual situation.

In the world of REIFSMA, listeners feel like characters in William Gibson's books. Faced with sensual overstimulation, the body reacts uncontrollably and spontaneously. The aim, however, is not liberation from technology, but to find a loop for the body to instinctively follow.

IFS is a duo of producers coming from Poland: Mateusz Wysocki (Fischerle) and Krzysztof Ostrowski. Their extensive musical fascinations draw on traditions such as avant-garde, dub, glitch, footwork and hip-hop. There have been five releases by the duo to date, including the 2022 album 'Psycho Outs' recorded with Polish rapper Prykson.

MA is a Tokyo-based Japanese rapper and vocalist. His musical activities include extended vocal practices and field recordings. Two MA albums have been released so far - a debut album on Morphine Records and a collaboration with Italian sound artist Nicola Ratti 'NR + MA'.

Nyege Nyege Tapes is the coolest label doing it, and this leftfield jewel is Exhibit A. British experimental producer and Ugandan fiddle legend chopping and twisting acoustic samples to build an electrified bed of nails out of the sound. AOTY for me. BenPujara
