BECOMING IS A MACHINE

“Becoming” is a machine composed of several domains or “fields”, including a publishing label, a record label, an audiovisual room, and an online magazine. All of these fields are distinct, but operate in symbiosis, following a singular editorial line.

Meaning both “without identity” and “with a non-identity”, the contronym “non-identarian” points to the line of Becoming. This line traces socio-historical and mytho-poetic trails, through philosophy, biology, music and theology, leaving traces of tracings along the way, in the form of books & magazines, editorials, albums & radio shows and films. It is in the weaving of these fields, these machines, and what these machines together weave, that Becoming unravels, for Becoming is but a publishing-machine. “Becoming” is as much the on-going formation of structured cycles as it is the principle of chaotic oceanic flows within which order intermittently metastasises. Becoming is not chaos, but its nature and its creative intellect. It is from chaos that everything forms, and it forms through the process of Becoming. Chaos is not the opposite of order because order is but an order of chaos—within chaos—so there is always chaos within order, and order always leads to chaos. The two poles appear to polarise but when we look away they trade-places. Rhythm emerges from the noise. Orders are patterns and patterns are signs which are noisy. Becoming is as Dionysian as chthonic, chthulucenic composts, and as Apollonian as a song sung on a summer’s day sunrise.
