Announcement: Uboaโs new full-length album, Impossible Light, is now available on all digital platforms.
We decided to release this record differently by making the entire album available on digital outlets first. Pre-order vinyl at and Bandcamp.
how to make an uboa song:
-be neurodivergent
-spend 5 years making a 10 minute song with 89 tracks (collected into groups) and 3 guest vocalists
-apologise to your mixing engineer before sending it to them
-The Flenser
how to make a vi a. song
- watch a long, slow and depressing movie
- read walter benjamin
- fuck around with no-input mixer
- wikipedia binge
- walk around, take field recordings
- distort and manipulate field recordings until most are virtually unrecognisable
Since that was my most famous tweet: if anybody was curious, sadly whole the set wasnโt recorded on video, but I have these other slides. Luckily I did record the entire set audio from laptop that Iโll master and put up on patreon or even BC soon.

The Origin of My Depression is the final chapter of The Flenser Series Four.

One thing I can reveal about next record is there is a song featuring three of my favourite musicians thats like 10 minutes long and makes everybody (myself included) cry. 99% to maybe 100% done w/ tracking for LP. It's been worked on for 5 years.
Me in front of the abandoned Footscray Psychiatric Hospital, one of Melbourne's fine examples of brutalist architecture. Imagined being sectioned in an concrete-reinforced cube.
Hello, it's my birthday today. I am [REDACTED] years old. Origin vinyl now officially out on

. See you (insofar as you live in naarm) tonight at bad decisions w/ diploid, occult blood & gravitate. I will have vinyls there.
Somebody is bootlegging my shirts. Please do not buy them from this location as neither me nor the Flenser will receive any income from it. Iโm not sure if there is a report function for it
I know itโs getting passรฉ or even cringe for trans artists to riff on about trans stuff in our work but considering *gestures to intensifying planetary trans genocide* maybe we should bring it back? I dunno

For the record, my pronouns are exclusively she/her. Seeing a few ppl they/theming me (as Xandra or Uboa) likely because I donโt make a big deal about it online or confuse me with a whole band. Itโs even on my Wikipedia page. Iโm not non-binary!
Breaking silence to post how sad I am at Zizek's totally unmasked transphobia as a fellow Hegelian.
Me and some transsexual colleagues have written work that he should read if he wants to stop embarrassing himself about the topic:
I am getting sick of this fkn app so: cis cis cis cisgender cissie cis cis cis cisgender cis elon musk is cis cis man cis woman cis CIS: Miami cissor cisters cis cis cis down with cis supremacy cis cis cisgenderism down with cis. follow me on ig @ uboatheflesh instead
shout out to Monome for making the max msp grid I use because I have been literally punching it for around 5 years after acquiring it second hand and it works fine because it is built like a gundam
Unrelated to my usual music posting, but I have just been asked to do a review of an article citing my own paper in Transgender Marxism. I am very excited to do a sequel and actually do Theory again.

LP is approaching done but going to take a little longer. Are people OK with EPs? Working on a whole bunch based off live sets that are more โambientโ or as the rym kids call it, โdeath industrialโ tryin to figure out if you want stuff like that
Go pre-order one. It comes in normal black and in purple because of
@ChatPileBand
's song about a "purple man". Also remastered by James Plotkin of fucking Khanate. More news soon.
Iโm also going to come out and say it and not try to hide it: I was diagnosed with autism and adhd 3 years ago. I often canโt work at the same pace NT musicians do, and itโs a big reason I donโt like directly interacting with strangers. I hope you all understand โค๏ธ
Apologies for the lack of Patreon posts and small releases. I am super busy and quite exhausted and needing to pace myself. Things will happen soon, just remember even noise musicians need holidays!
hi I am v excited to tell u the song 'Detransitioning' will be featured in the upcoming French-Canadian thriller "Les Chambres Rouges" ("Red Rooms")! Here is the trailer below. In cinemas august 11! <3
msg from nova: xandra is not going to be using this account or responding to DMs for now due to twitter mostly being a negative place to be on for her (transphobia all over the timeline etc). I will only be posting updates about the patreon/releases etc here.
it's really amazing when someone is like "i really love <work made at the lowest point of your mental health where u may not survive the return>. are u gonna make more of that?"
rt my posts. I want somebody relatively normal to click and browse my profile because โoh wow pink hair and strong jawline just like Ramona โ and then go to my bandcamp and have a horrible time. Itโs why we are called traps. I do not have bpd
Been hit with autistic burnout. Does anybody have tips ? "Try taking a break" isn't working as I constantly have to do all kinds of bullshit being a musician for a living and I have to pretend to be NT for most of it. It's nuking my creativity.
Uboa's new Patreon-exclusive EP, "Tiredness Shrine", is now live! Using just digitone & field recordings and made it in bed during a sickly night of sleep deprivation.
Straight-up ambient, w/ no vocals and barely any noise. Link in comment below.
Hello. My wonderful
@tranz_kafka
released a new record of industrial ambient noise today. I mixed and mastered it and did the collage cover art. Itโs a very good release and tapes are incoming.
Today is the release day for my new record EXCORIATING DAWN. Mixed, mastered and with (extremely fucking sick) album art by
@Uboatheflesh
. Listen now on Bandcamp! Coming soon to cassette and other streaming services ๐
Is the sunn o))) guitar pedal any good? I miss making low sounds with my beautiful sexy aluminium neck baritone guitar that took me 5 years to save up for that I probably should use more
ok. figured out what has delayed mixing on my LP for so long: do not use dropbox and ableton together. Lost files, broken projects, cpu crashes and freezing galore. If you use ableton do not open and save songs from the cloud drive while dropbox app is on. Cautionary tale.
Rare set of both us playing through two guitar amps bc PA was mono. Turns out amps have a LOT more gain. It was so distorted the ambience became harsh noise and so loud I only played for 5 mins before destroying my table. I hope my gear still works.
Short film made for school this year, the original length was capped at 15 seconds so ig this is the directors cut

Actually really digging the new sleep token record? Never heard them before and was expecting it to be horrible but itโs silly fun? Itโs ok u can call me a poser now
The amount of psychic damage this app has given me means I am leaving it until musk goes, and if I don't get suspended for saying a perfectly neutral scientific term that it will now be run by mgmt.
Trans ppl, find somewhere else. Don't do this to yourself lingering around here
xandra here: just letting you know I'm ok (don't worry!) just having a preventative self-care break. I'm a little sick of logging into twitter and seeing transphobia constantly on my timeline despite blocking. It's not good for any of us, really. Take care of yourself too! brb!
Didn't even notice this dude because mates/sec threw him out. Security checked on me mid-set (as I was singing) to ask if I was ok, and assumed it was because my set was sad. Drunk dude reappears in the Kilat mosh only to get BTFO'd by everybody.
Good night.
Apologies for the lack of Patreon posts and small releases. I am super busy and quite exhausted and needing to pace myself. Things will happen soon, just remember even noise musicians need holidays!
if you want to hear what I would play quite literally at my own actual birthday party pls come to this (it's just a show but it is on my bday), should have origin LPs for sale there and also holy fuck @ the rest of the lineup <3
c'mon, I know some terf/4chan/twitter bot is eyeing this account. I thought all u cissies were pro-free speech. Gonna be saying 'cis' 4ever as I Will Not Be Censored. Gonna even be saying it to yr face maximum volume with a Borat Voice when u throw us in the death camps.
Yay Iโm in a magazine woo ty
@MixdownMagazine
. Get one for free at various Sound Locations in Australia. It has the femboy math rock band on the front
I actually started working on it before both The Origin and The Sky. Both records (and every EP) were made procrastinating from working on this. I've spent almost 1/6 of my life working on this on/off. Y'all better like it

this is the set where some drunk metal chud hated my music so much he was gonna fight me and he got booted out. security 'checked on me' mid song I had no idea why. wish there was a full video of the set lol
Hello,
@TheFlenser
here, Xandra has decided to stop using Twitter.
We will be managing this account for her until further notice.
Please follow her on Instagram and Bluesky Social.
alright I am done w twitter permanently because it's fucking hell here. I am giving the controls to management fr this time, so you'll see posts but won't be me. you can contact me either on bluesky or ig. I don't really use discord. cya
I know I kinda gamed the results by being honest about what I like to do, but hearing you are OK with me doing what I want to do on stage (noise) has given me a little more confidence going forward. I'll be doing exactly that on thurs w/
@dis_fig
. y'all rock
ok, taking a poll because I have these Big Scary shows coming up. What do ppl want from me live? I usually impro because my songs are not designed to be play by 1 person without some loop karaoke and I get bored doing the same thing over and over again, but I can *try* songs
It's very interesting/humbling that well-respected researchers are actually citing me in seriousness as somebody without a grad degree. Had an imposter moment, but it seems that every academic ever had this too starting off. Hope u all like speculative materialist transfeminism
It was built in 1977 by an unknown architect, and was abandoned due to subsidence in 1996. It is currently allegedly used as storage by Footscray Hospital. However this is unclear due to the absestos warning sign and how dusty it is inside.
uboa's split with vi a (
@tranz_kafka
), Dead Time's Broken Arrow, is out now. uboa's side is a single long-form track about the theology of benzodiazepines made with voice and synthesizers. vi a.'s side is confessional no-input noise & cassette looping.
Now I know how trans harry potter fans felt when JK showed her colours. Zizek was a big influence for me when I studied philosophy. Now I am just sad at this recent wave of Lacanian transphobia, which I think isn't justified by their ontology at all. Hence my essay.
