about

We did not set out to create music about Palestine and the Zionist genocide against the people of Gaza, but we have been bearing witness to this catastrophe, mourning, protesting, refusing. As we played, what emerged were sounds of our grief and despair together with our hope. Wailing tension from deep underground interrupts crystalline notes. Above, open air prison. Below, rupture. A deliberate break with 70 years of occupation and dispossession. The long struggle of Palestinians reverberates across space, cutting through Zionist propaganda. People everywhere rise up for Palestine.

The call for liberation swells. We bounce off the cognitive dissonance between old-new public channel stories of self-defense and the incomprehensible destruction and suffering we witness in Gaza: Words fail. Rebel tones overtake the ever-less coherent story. We hear the frequencies rub against one another, splitting into carrier propaganda and the modulator that exposes a reality run amok, "every tone a testimony" even as the carrier sings another song of DARVO (deny, attack, reverse victim and offender) and lies. (We think of Alvin Lucier's "I am Sitting in a Room]" where the tone of the room overtakes the recited voice).

Yet, despite, because: Palestine will be free.

RREPlay's music is an evolving experimental interaction best described as glitch jam. Informed by post-punk sensibilities, RREPlay ranges from ambient to alarming and from ice to surf, looping and dubbing along the way. Welcome to the exploration. ... more
