Aho Ssan debuts on Other People with second solo album (only supplied as DL code) and book Rhizomes, featuring Nicolás Jaar, Moor Mother, Angel Bat Dawid, clipping., Blackhaine and more. Paris based composer Aho Ssan, the artist moniker of Niamké Désiré, presents his new full-length Rhizomes following his debut LP Simulacrum (2020) and collaborative record Limen (2022) with fellow musician KMRU. Rhizomes draws inspiration from a concept coined and developed between Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guatarri. The idea of an ever-evolving structural model, constantly in motion and spreading out in all directions at once. It has no beginning and no end, but always remains in a middle, through which it grows and overflows. Much like the name it borrows, Aho Ssan's Rhizomes is a multimedia project that embarks on a myriad of disparate, unique musical and artistic partnerships. This piece adapts this concept to explore the influence of sound materials on creation, the appropriation of a sound object, and the collaborative nature of a composition that responds to modernity. Aho Ssan collaborated with a comprehensive cast of artists to create a musical rhizome including Nyokabi Kariuki, Josefa Ntjam, Blackhaine, Nicolás Jaar, Resina, Rắn Cạp Đuôi, Richie Culver, clipping., Lafawndah, 9T Antiope, James Ginzburg, Exzald S, Valentina Magaletti, Moor Mother, Angel Bat Dawid and Mondkopf. Cooperation and community are at the root of this project and the lens through which all the compositions can be understood through.
