Process of Elimination
,
El Hardwick
's sophomore's album, explores sickness as a teacher for anti-capitalist modes of being; a rewilding of the self. Out via AD 93, the record is the product of an attempt to be indestructible; this sickness has an unknown diagnosis. El Hardwick's album follows their experience of becoming chronically ill after years of treating their body like a machine. El explains: "After failing to receive a diagnosis, which is only given via a lengthy process of elimination, I instead turned to autonomous modes of healing rooted in mysticism and herbalism; putting aside the need to be defined. My journey towards accepting my disability is told in parallel to my coming-out as trans. I also see my non-binary identity as a process of elimination: I am neither gender, both, in-between. It is through rewilding myself from capitalism and gender normativity that I learn how to connect to my body and the earth; no longer allowing either's energy to be extracted from. The less I sought answers, language, metrics and analysis, the more peace I found."
Silvia Federici
's
Caliban And The Witch
influenced the album in telling how dissident women and gender nonconforming people have been historically labelled as hysterical and heretical when questioning the cartesian dualist mindset that laid the groundwork of capitalism.
Donna J Haraway
's
Staying With The Trouble
and
Jenny Odell
's

) on clarinet, flute and saxophone,
Laura Misch
on saxophone,
Marysia Osu
(
Levitation Orchestra
) on harp,
Memory Play
on co-production, double bass and saw, and
Sasha Wilde
on vocals. El Hardwick is a multidisciplinary artist living in London, UK. Identifying as trans non-binary, their work weaves narratives between queer world making practices and how listeners can heal on a damaged planet.
