Samad Khan collaboration Weakness Of The Flesh .
The composer s new EP Maps has its roots in a collaboration with The Jacob Jonas dance company, crafting a track for a special project.
The track was then scored to a video sequence starring dancer Emma Rosenzweig-Bock, with film maker Kevin McGloughlin directing the clip.
The full EP features the song, alongside two further re-workings, with Max Cooper now sharing Weakness Of The Flesh in full. I was struck by the raw, textural aspect to this dance project, with the vast concrete space, the dirt on Emma s face, the writhing intensity and the stuttering clones, Max Cooper says. It seemed to me to be peaceful and smooth as well as violent and rough at the same time.

Evitceles & Rim Mustafin reflect on architecture and memory in ‘Endless Reach’
Images of buildings from Sofia, Berlin and Perm meet in a lysergic merging via the use of a generative adversarial network, or GAN animation.
Last year Bulgarian producer Etien Slavchev, who makes austere and searing electronic music as Evitceles, joined forces with the suggestively named Spite Cathedral for a split release on Mälmo’s experimental imprint Sound+Matter.
‘Endless Reach’ is the doom-laden opener to that release, pairing dread bass and haunted strings to chilling effect. Slavchev enlisted the talents of programmer and artist Rim Mustafin to create a visual accompaniment, which he created using a generative adversarial network.
