Ale Hop
'Apophenia' suggests possible and reimagined South American geographies. Along
with atomized field recordings and sound samples Ale Hop recollected from video
archives from her homeland, Peru. The composer interweaves unknown territories
by mimicking mountains and oceans, but also grey skies and violent cities, with
droning and shrieking textures of electric guitars mixed with spoken chatters
and sizzles. The LP is accompanied by two black and white images from the
Peruvian photographer Gihan Tubbeh that withhold the same poetic nature of the
music through visual rhymes expressed on fragments of landscapes.
Ale Hop is a Berlin-based artist, researcher, and experimental instrumentist
from Peru. She composes electronic music, by blending strains of noise, pop,
avant-garde, ambient and a complex repertoire of extended techniques for
electric guitar and real time sampling devices that she uses as her sound
vocabulary to craft a performance of astonishing physical intensity, saturated
of layers of distortion and stunning atmospheres. Additionally, in her current
A/V performance, Ale Hop assembles soundscapes that are related to the
contradictory memories she keeps from Peru, from the violence and turbulence
that she grew up, in uncertain times in Lima, through contemplative territories.
