▌░ Perhaps the youngest recording artist in history... ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Luca Yupanqui was not yet born when she recorded her debut ░▐
▌░ album. The music on the aptly titled Sounds of the Unborn is ░▐
▌░ the expression of life in its cosmic state ù pre-mind, ░▐
▌░ pre-speculation, pre-influence, and pre-human. Itáis the ░▐
▌░ first album created by a person while they were still inside ░▐
▌░ the womb, the expression of a soul that hasnÆt yet seen the ░▐
▌░ light of day nor taken a single breath of air. It is a ░▐
▌░ message that comes from a different realm, a sublayer of our ░▐
▌░ existence. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Sounds of the Unborn was made with biosonic MIDI technology, ░▐
▌░ which translated LucaÆs in utero movements into sound. With ░▐
▌░ the help of her parents, Psychic Ills bassist Elizabeth Hart ░▐
▌░ and Lee Scratch Perry collaborator Ivßn Diaz MathΘ, LucaÆs ░▐
▌░ prenatal essence was captured in audio. They designed a ░▐
▌░ ritual, a kind of joint meditation for the three of them, ░▐
▌░ with the MIDI devices hooked to ElizabethÆs stomach, ░▐
▌░ transcribing its vibrations into IvßnÆs synthesizers. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ They let the free-form meditations flow without much ░▐
▌░ interference, just falling deeper into trance and feeling the ░▐
▌░ unity. After five hour-long sessions, the shape of an album ░▐
▌░ began to emerge. Elizabeth and Ivßn then edited and mixed the ░▐
▌░ results of the sessions, respecting the sounds as they were ░▐
▌░ produced, trying to intervene as little as possible, allowing ░▐
▌░ LucaÆs message to exist in its raw form. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ This cosmic soul summoning created new sounds, striking into ░▐
▌░ uncharted territory for Elizabeth and Ivßn as musicians. A ░▐
▌░ new language was being created, a new form of communication. ░▐
▌░ It was a music without intellectáor intentionality behind it, ░▐
▌░ with no preconception or attempt to create any specific sound ░▐
▌░ or melody. Every note on Sounds of the Unborn occurred ░▐
▌░ naturally. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ It is human nature to wonder what life is like inside another ░▐
▌░ human beingÆs consciousness. How does it feel? What does it ░▐
▌░ sound like? All these questions became stronger and more ░▐
▌░ important to Elizabeth and Ivßn while they were waiting for ░▐
▌░ Luca to come into the world.áAt a certain point the questions ░▐
▌░ turned into, What would she say if she could speak? How would ░▐
▌░ she react to the outer world? And ultimately, What kind of ░▐
▌░ music would she play if she was able to? This album is an ░▐
▌░ attempt to answer those questions. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Elizabeth and Ivßn mixed the album in 2020. Luca, now an ░▐
▌░ infant, sat in the studio with them while they worked. Her ░▐
▌░ awareness of what was happening was astounding. She would ░▐
▌░ open her eyes wide and stare at her parents, seemingly ░▐
▌░ recognizing her own sounds from the womb, knowing that they ░▐
▌░ were revisiting those rituals that made them come together as ░▐
▌░ one. Those mixing sessions were technically the first time ░▐
▌░ Luca had heard her own music, but her reaction made it clear ░▐
▌░ that that .wasnÆt really the case ù she had already lived it. ░▐
