For our next mixtape instalment, we welcome  Lý Trang, a musician-sound artist who will unveil a haunting musical storytelling piece arranged as an abstract dialogue around time travelling.

Born and raised in the mountains of Northeast Vietnam, Trang's experiments with hollow rhythms follow folkloric instrumental phrases, and the music buzzes widescreen magic. Moving to Vietnam’s capital Hanoi for school, she connected with the local underground scene, joining Rắn Cạp Đuôi Collective for a short period before focusing more on her work as a multimedia artist. In 2018 she self-released ‘Snail Skeleton’, an album that hints at her sonic interests and various live-scoring commissions, soundtracks and installation works. 

Recently she released her second album, 'Syenite', grounded in a sense of alienation, first when she moved to Hanoi for school and later when she relocated to Moscow just a few months before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In the  Russian capital, her separation from home cracked open a deep yearning that swallowed up the erupting geopolitical uncertainty and disillusion, crystallizing into the album's 10 electro-acoustic tracks. 

Last year she also released her debut film 'Sisyphus's Cat' a conceptually complimentary short that charted the search for a lost pet in a parallel universe,  and her music follows a similar trajectory, interpreting interlocking themes sonically instead of visually.

The mix she has prepared for us, she says, "Is a musical-storytelling piece arranged as an abstract dialogue between the captain of a time machine and a girl who wants to be transferred to the future. The conversation is sometimes highlighted and sometimes escaped into layers of music, untangled by the thrill of technology in its content and way of producing sounds. The "captain" voice was amped through a vocoder, which dragged my voice down to a voice of a non-human character. In this sense, I tried to constantly call to mind human scales of time, science, presence and sustaining—even if only in their defamiliarizing absence. And I lean into the aesthetics of alienation, trying to imagine the world of immortal and forever-sustaining entities in the future and questioning that idea".

“I like to think of my music as being three genres: Hybrid, Visual and Pulse. These are genres I invented. These songs are mostly Visual / Pulse with slight Hybrid elements too.”
—Minoyimn


life is brutal and it’s full of brutal tales, human.
last autumn i had the pleasure of washing piles of dishes and listening to Kenji Miyazawa’s short stories ( i pay only 2€ for my audiobook app ). it was getting colder and these tales about facing the most basic and deepest everyday truths ( afterlife, religion, guilt, innocence, self-value ) almost made me weep to a dirty bowl. their language purity, delicate worldbuilding, and effortless characters were always fully interconnected with death, bullying and longing.
and it wasn’t a Grimm-like, fairytale obscurity that hit me so hard. it was the struggle of overcoming everyday darkness.

( i’m talking not only about a great children's book but mostly about my feelings towards Minoyimn’s sounds )


“Broken Pedant” of course comes from a world like “Bioshock” but every fantasy world comes from a world of sorrow, human.
〉that’s reality.
〉face that.
〉it’s dangerous but it’s worth it.
this is how this ep speaks to me and i cherish every moment of it.


thank you gos and Mosky wendolin for your remixes expanding this beautiful world.
this is it.

FH HF, 𝘉𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘺 [EM038]

The latest mixtape instalment hails from Seoul-based Korean experimental musician Suk Hong, offering a curated selection of tracks that traverse the artist's creative journey for their upcoming project.

Suk Hong's musical style gracefully navigates between neo-classical and electronic influences. Fresh from their recent release on Unseelie, an NYC-based label, Suk Hong returns with a more introspective and expansive piece, My Day is Sold by the Hour, which debuted at the start of March on endonesia, an alternative art platform based between New York and Seoul.

Recorded amidst the misty atmosphere of the Guro district, Korea's bustling digital industrial complex, My Day is Sold by the Hour encapsulates the essence of its surroundings through sonic storytelling. While the area is blanketed in fog, its stories are evident sonically. 

String instrumentations echo like distant growls, while a tapestry of field recordings collected over three years weaves a textured narrative within a granular, deconstructed framework. With electroacoustic techniques and contemporary sonic landscapes intertwined, Hong seeks to unveil the inherent extraordinariness of captured moments, carving timbres that contour the running narrative - an unforeseeable series of vignettes.

In discussing what the artist has created for this mixtape, Hong reveals ongoing work on an album delving into the modernity of Korean families, including their own: It follows the approach of My Day is Sold by the Hour, but this time, I need more than one track to present the complete picture. It's a longer project, so I need to cleanse my palette occasionally for a fresh perspective. These are the songs I turn to.

This collection of tracks offers a tantalising glimpse into Suk Hong's creative universe, teasing the imagination with its suggestive and mysterious allure.
