jjjacob – Body Without Organs [SWT019]

Music as the only relief valve at the hospital. After suffering a brain haemorrhage, in a wheel chair and with the right side of his body paralysed, jjjacob looked for a refuge on his laptop creating music until his wounds healed. The Danish producer realised that his music "quickly changed from being only about having fun and making stuff that sounded cool to trying to express some of the crazy feelings and thoughts going through my head".

After several releases in 2018 and 2019, in which there is an abstract exploration of his rehearsal as an artist, jjjacob debuts in Sweat Taste with "Body Without Organs" [SWT019]. An album where the now healed producer continues exploring his rehab, but in contrast to the previous projects, it is focused more on a physical plane and not so much on an emotional or spiritual level. With all its complexity, "Body Without Organs" talks about the dysfunctionality of the body and how carrying on with a sickness influences our lives. Stigmatization is a big part of disease, but instead of falling into the void, jjjacob takes advantage of these themes and explores them through intense emotional passages.

Tracks like "Floating Corpse" or "Heart Failure" represent the most critical moments of the stroke he suffered and the artist’s intention to dig deeper into it. Using hints of ambient elements that battle with moments of aggressiveness, rave euphoria, breaks and unique structures, the music ends up with giving the listener associations to producers like Lorenzo Senni or Oneohtrix Point Never.. "It felt natural to relate my own experiences with bodily dysfunctionality resulting from the stroke to other forms of illness, which made me think a lot about how to make meaning of the suffering that we all deal with. For me, the best way to make meaning of subjects that are tough to talk about, is by making art. So that’s what I did on this record".

jjjacob – Body Without Organs [SWT019]

La música como única válvula de escape en el hospital. Tras sufrir un derrame cerebral, en una silla de ruedas y con la parte derecha de su cuerpo paralizada, jjjacob se refugió en su portátil para hacer música mientras duraba su rehabilitación. El productor danés se dio cuenta de que su música empezó a cambiar de simplemente ser “algo con lo que divertirse y hacer cosas que sonaran bien”, a intentar expresar las sensaciones que en ese momento estaba experimentando.

Tras una serie de releases el pasado 2019 en las que explora de manera abstracta su proceso de recuperación, jjjacob debuta en Sweat con Body Without Organs [SWT019]. Un disco en el que un mejorado jjjacob, continúa explorando a través de la música su rehabilitación, pero, a diferencia de en sus trabajos anteriores, lo plasma “desde un punto de vista físico, no tanto emocional o espiritual”. Body Without Organs trata de la disfuncionalidad del cuerpo; de qué supone lidiar con una enfermedad y los estigmas que conlleva. Sin dejarlos caer ni flotar en un vacío silencioso, jjjacob se aprovecha de ellos creando pasajes realmente conmovedores.

Títulos como Floating Corpse o Heart Failure dan cuenta de las consecuencias del derrame que sufrió y su intención de explorar más allá. Le sirven muchas pinceladas ambient, pero también momentos de agresividad, euforia rave, breaks y estructuras poco convencionales, que pueden recordar por momentos a productores como Lorenzo Senni o Oneohtrix Point Never. “Es completamente natural para mí transmitir en mi música mi experiencia con la disfuncionalidad corporal, desde el derrame a otras formas de enfermedad. He reflexionado mucho sobre cómo darle sentido a todo el sufrimiento al que nos todos nos enfrentamos. Para mí, hacer música es la mejor manera. Y es lo que he intentado hacer con este álbum”.
