Enmossed and Psychic Liberation are pleased to present the first vinyl album in their ongoing collaborative series 𝑬𝑵𝒙𝑷𝑳, focusing on new music spanning the globe, utilizing high-end and recycled materials. Transatlantic duo Unt gifts us with 𝑪𝒍𝒊𝒑𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆, synthesizing a multiplicity of genres - ranging from dub techno to screwed hiphop instrumentals, with hints of jazz, avant-garde composition, and new age music - into a personal conversation.

Unt is a collaboration between Chicago-based drummer and improviser John Daniel (FKA Forest Management) and artist, producer, and musician Florian T M Zeisig.

The pair began working together in early 2020, just before lockdowns, during Daniel’s last European tour performing as Forest Management. Starting as a jam session in Zeisig’s bedroom, 𝑪𝒍𝒊𝒑𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 is their debut effort, combining both artists’ engagement with free-form electronic music. The album is the result of a growing friendship and sharing of each other's perspectives. Daniel and Zeisig recorded the tracks in an iterative manner - constantly adding and replacing ideas both metaphorically and literally - in conversation as well as separately.

As an expression of exploring the meaning of collaboration from different perspectives - in terms of listening to each other and musical language - 𝑪𝒍𝒊𝒑𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 ultimately reflects on exchange in its many forms.

𝑪𝒍𝒊𝒑𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 also results from an ongoing process of personal development - breaking negative cyclical patterns, and realizing the depth and beauty of self by uncovering and unfolding one’s mind and personality beyond our current societal cues.

CLIPS OF PERSPECTIVE

PL PURCHA$E

ENXPL20 - UNT - B2. U,m1

where lava turns into new land
ridges collapse, and bottomless crevasses breathe
light moves weightlessly from aphotic blacks to the purest blues
sinking deeper and deeper into the disintegration of time
pulling you into a wordless state

Paris' dub luminary Alan Briand hits the Chambre Noire imprint with a face-melting trip into the abyss - an artifact that would creep in just as easily in some obscure research lab than your favourite listening bar.

It's music for the deep sea dwellers.
Scientists dig it, diggers too.

LOUFR is a solo project by the Polish composer Piotr Bednarczyk. His work focuses on intermedial chamber and electronic music. In his sonic endeavors, he explores the spaces of sound design, seeking sounds and structures characterized by a subjective, strong physical, and emotional impact. The non-musical content woven into his compositions revolves around global changes inevitably leading to the collapse of the world.


FEARS is the third album by Piotr Bednarczyk under the pseudonym LOUFR. The compositions of the Polish artist have resonated in numerous concert halls across Europe, and this time his work finds its home in Pointless Geometry, a label showcasing the most intriguing domestic electronic music.

LOUFR occupies an exceptionally stable position between contemporary music, hyperpop, and deconstructed club sounds. FEARS is a melancholic album, distinctly human despite the high degree of vocal processing and electronic instrumentation. This contrast is palpable from the very beginning, as emotional vocals collide with an almost trap-like beat. The album is not devoid of moments of true beauty, as evident in "269," a track built around a catchy, sung phrase. The title of this composition serves as a kind of manifesto, referencing the number of a calf rescued from a dairy farm by activists.

FEARS explores the extremes of sonic spectrums, juxtaposing delicate piano strikes with industrial noise and string instruments with a creaking synthesizer. Whether shrouded in electronics or warmed by organic instrumentation, all layers resonate with each other in an incredible, engaging harmony.

FEARS is a unique auditory experience—sharp, unconventional, and avant-garde in some places, while warm, inviting, and familiar in others. Bednarczyk's voice carries this paradox, emotional yet bathed in mechanical processing. The music of the Polish artist resonates with the disintegration of the world but does not relinquish hope. If it is to assist us in anything, it is in navigating through difficult emotions. And FEARS accomplishes this with finesse.

Terminal 11 - Suffocating Repetition 
(OPAL259)

Released on CD and Digital format. 
February 23rd 2024

"Each track on this release is an expression of the heightened tension that came with existing in a room that operated as a work office, creative space, and bedroom between 2021 and 2023 mostly during the more confined days of the pandemic. Although the tracks seem in constant flux, there is some form of repetition in each that caused discomfort that was worked through, or they were created in a time where one day bled into the next and the last thing I wanted was to be in that room.

This text is coming across more depressing than I intended. On a more positive note, this release became an opportunity to question my aversion to repetition and to analyze how much the trap of perfectionism still played into any decision made during the process of its creation. I have walked away from this with a better sense of when a piece of music is complete as well as how to actively avoid perfectionistic pitfalls. I hope you enjoy it."

In the last 10 years Akira Matsuoka (aka Veltz) has established himself as a key figure in the next generation of Tokyo noise artists. His work covers a wide range: metal junk noise, erased tapes, field recording and audio dedications to analogue television. Analogue broadcasting in Japan was switched of in 2011, an event recorded by Matsuoka and presented at the end of this album. The collection of CRT televisions he has since amassed have become his primary instrument, used in numerous performances and on his CD for edition omega point. The tracks on this disc demonstrate the range of this instrument. Recorded over a 6 year period, they comprise a catalogue of the sound fields Matsuoka is capable of provoking from these abandoned screens.

Released in oversized 7" package with letterpress back panel and a 16 page risograph booklet of macro photographs of analogue television noise.

Veltz - Broken TV Audio Report [excerpt]

Beige is the true color of melancholy is a multi-channel installation presented on Re.Sound a two day event in Huddersfield, UK on May 2018. The piece points out to the importance of the culinary culture in the establishment of immigrant cultures in Northern England over the past two centuries. The piece was produced with sounds recorded in the kitchen of Thai traditional cook Lag in Huddersfield, interviews made to second generation immigrants, and archive material that presents the role of cooking in the discrimination suffered by some immigrants that moved to West Yorkshire and Greater Manchester in the 1950s and 60s.

Beige is the true color of melancholy (fragment in stereo)

This CD features recordings of a now lost sculptural work that was originally commissioned in 2016 for Colour Out of Space festival. The work consists of over 100 empty computer cases, fitted with 16 customised and automated DVD drives. Between 2016 and 2018 it was exhibited in Brighton, Athens, Croydon, Oxford and Rennes, on each occasion being reconfigured into a new form. The most ambitious of these being at Detritus Festival in 2018, where a new and larger version of the work was constructed at the Onassis Cultural Centre from used computer sourced in the city. The work was sadly lost in transit between France and the UK, returning to the global trade in e-waste which its production initially sought to intervene in, so all that remains are these recordings. 

The CD is released in an edition of 150 in an oversized 7" sleeve accompanied by a 16 page risographed booklet featuring photographs and scans of the sculpture, essays by Danae Stefano and Stephen Cornford, and a letterpressed backpanel.

Earle and Sussmann are best known for their minimal electronic work as Stasis Duo but this disc sees them in far more bracing mode for this all electronics trio. Recorded while Kahn was touring Australia in 2009.

Consumer Waste is a low impact imprint for the publication of contemporary experimental music. Jointly run by Stephen Cornford & Samuel Rodgers, it aims to document and disseminate their collaborative work as well as that of their peers and contemporaries.

In an era when cultural material is most often received through digital means, the publication of physical documents has become for many musicians simply an expedient means to put their work in the hands of the pirates. We welcome this state of affairs and will restrict our releases to editions of one or two hundred, safe in the knowledge that should the work appeal to a wider audience, it will be downloaded by them. As such the discs will carry no official copyright.

We tacitly accept that cultural production, where it simply provides yet another avenue of our consumer driven society is a morally questionable activity and have no wish to support such a system. For these reasons, the label is to be run on a strictly not-for profit basis, with all proceeds going either direct to the artist or funding the activities of the label by providing opportunities for artists to collaborate, perform, record and publish their work. The label's name derives from the 100% post-consumer waste materials that we endeavour to use in our handmade packaging.
