about

"Hypervelocity stars are rare—moving so fast they can escape the gravitational pull of their home galaxy.
Recent research suggests they can form from the collision of two black holes. As the black holes spiral inward and merge, any nearby stars caught in their shared gravitational well are violently ejected—flung into unpredictable paths, displaced not by choice, but by the brute force of cosmic interaction.
These stars become intergalactic travelers, launched into deep space with no way back—ejected from their origin by immense, violent forces.

That cosmic violence echoes other displacements—
bodies in motion, circling unseen forces,
drifting through histories that don’t belong to them.
Held, then flung.
Drawn into movement not by will, but by gravity, by pressure, by rupture.

Derive is shaped by that motion.

A sound stretched between tension and release.
Built from the raw textures of flute, strings, and guitar—
processed until they fray, fold into each other, or fall apart.
Between stillness and overload, between clarity and collapse.
Always shifting, searching, coming undone.

It’s not about arrival.
It’s about the space in between."

Queimada is an Italian music composer and sound engineer based in Copenhagen, whose strongly synthetic aesthetics, based on melted-down samples and field recordings, was showcased both in solo releases on Gin & Platonic, SØVN and Rest Now!, and in a longstanding collaboration with Taiwanese sound artist Sabiwa, from the collective Chinabot.
