Treating songwriting as an instinctive process, Bedoret transforms her deeply personal experiences into pure emotion. Not following any set narrative, Eyes takes the listener on a journey via their own experiences, prompting introspection through Bedoret’s hypnotic melodies. Through the album, she awakens the audience's imagination, to open up their emotional response.

Vanessa began her classical training at age 6 and on completion at 18 she embraced the thrill of playing guitar in punk bands, and like many at the turn of adulthood, was quickly captured by the allure of the dancefloor. She also counts black metal to opera and from eurodance to IDM as inspiration. Her deep understanding of musical form elevates her experimentation to a truly unique sonic experience, one that never strays too far from her original love of classical music.

Through the lens of a life lived to it’s fullest and one that does not shy from experiencing the rawest of emotions, it’s clear that Bedoret has a nack for translating personal observations into cinematic crescendoes. The field recordings throughout only heighten this feeling adding both a grounding and other worldy sensibility. Lyrically, she allows you to peek into her private world and for a fleeting moment letting you lock eyes with hers, asking what do you see?

Cover of "le vin des amants" (Baudelaire poem of "les fleurs du mal")
Recorded live at Polaris, Tokyo, May 2024

Aujourd’hui l’espace est splendide !
Sans mors, sans éperons, sans bride,
Partons à cheval sur le vin
Pour un ciel féerique et divin !

Comme deux anges que torture
Une implacable calenture,
Dans le bleu cristal du matin
Suivons le mirage lointain !

Mollement balancés sur l’aile
Du tourbillon intelligent,
Dans un délire parallèle,

Ma soeur, côte à côte nageant,
Nous fuirons sans repos ni trêves
Vers le paradis de mes rêves !

Charles Baudelaire, Les Fleurs du Mal, 1857

Xing presents the new LP OWsT by Elvin Brandhi, eighteenth release of XONG collection - artist records. The release is on white vinyl, in a limited and numbered edition of 150 copies, including a collector's edition of 20 copies, each featuring bespoke talismans, painted by the artist in squid ink, to be worn as patches or kept safe somewhere to ward off misanthropists.

OWsT is a vociferous attempt to Shout The Self Out. Elvin Brandhi, artist and poet propelled by constant nomadic rupture in both art and life, screams her mind to explore the urgent contradictions of self and world, of language and meaning, relentlessly unlearning at the edge of words. In OWsT she extrudes her limbic dissidence keeping a raw tension through chaos, where the fumbling find its stratum of empowerment and can become more than its forlorn wondering:

"LanGuAGE! ContinuES to BE a FRantic FOCUS WHich CAN ONLY BenefIT from Internal ASSAULT. 
I try to OUT all of the words inside the HEAD. 
The struggle to articulate necessitates violence, bursts of inclination, gestures of intent that supersedes the capacity to express coherently. 
OWsT as a pretext for the form to disgorge, comfort zone extinguished awe against a lore. 
I am not I am KNOT. JOWST THE OWST OUT  OWST THE CELL”F OWT!"

OWsT originates from a live recording session at Raum, Xing’s space in Bologna. Recorded on tape and re-manipulated by the artist several times, more than a transcription of the expulsion process (literally ‘oust’, poetically and phonetically ‘owst’) the album is "a retrospective spell where tensions and indecisions, resistances, deviations and relapses constitute the process of the archaeologist attempting to retrieve from sight the mangled contents of what poured out.” Listening to Elvin Brandhi’s music can offer a chaotic and overwhelming experience.

Elvin Brandhi (born Freya Edmondes) is an improvising lyricist, producer and sound artist, originally from Bridgend in Wales, but a citizen of the world, moving between Vienna and Kampala, Berlin, Cairo, Dakkar, Marseille and Newcastle. She had a childhood immersed in music every day, and studied painting and drawing at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Her sound production develops on distorted bases that act as an unstable platform on which she sings and performs her improvised stream of consciousness lyrical trips. Deep furious or nonsense, her spoken word lies on explosive and aberrant beats from field recordings, tape, vinyl, instrument and voice. Since 2013 she has played and collaborated with many improvisers. At each stop of her nomadic journey she collaborates with local artists. She has participated in international festivals. Among her stable collaborations are the low-fi noise pop duo Yeah You with her father Gustav Thomas, the duo BAHK with Daniel Blumberg, the INSIN duo with Bashar Suleiman, the project Avril Spleen with Joseph Jadame, the duo Pollution Opera with Nadah El Shazly, and Bad@Maths. She released the LPs Shelf Life (C.A.N.V.A.S), Villaelvin (Hakuna Kulala), Elvin Brandhi (Krai), and OWsT (Xing/Xong collection). In 2017 she was awarded the PRS Oram Award for Innovative Musicians, with a production commission at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. She was also part of SHAPE platform 2020.

XX18: Elvin Brandhi - OWsT - O"w - excerpt side A 3

Water ripples all around, and echoing sounds stretch out into a shady sub aquatic habitat. Its dark corners slowly burst into view as cresting noises reveal fresh caverns teeming with liquid life. This is Sueños Acuáticos, the latest sonic exploration from Lamina, a musical project by French artist, Clarice Calvo-Pinsolle. Built from years of carefully gathered field recordings, the album constructs immersive, detailed soundscapes where watery environments, caves, and forests intertwine with digital manipulations.

Rooted in the myth of the ‘Lamina’, a creature from Basque folklore, the project blends this oral tradition with technology to build a geological myth. The Lamina’s world—a nocturnal ecosystem of water and stone—serves as the foundation for the album’s sound design. Lamina reshapes these natural recordings into something new: stretching, pitching, and layering them to build intricate sound environments that feel simultaneously organic and synthetic. “I transform these sounds much like I would sculpt in ceramics,” explains Calvo-Pinsolle, “by adding, removing material, and imagining landscapes.

Drawing from hydrofeminist and posthuman ideas, particularly those in Astrida Neimanis’ Bodies of Water, the album treats sound like water—shifting, flowing, connecting, and buoying life. Tracks flow into one another without clear boundaries, much like the natural currents they represent. The result is a continuous listening experience, inviting deep focus on texture above melody.

Lamina is exploring the potential of the field recording as a compositional tool. Natural sounds, like trickling water or wind through trees, are processed out of recognition—or cliché. A sense of weightless immersion takes hold as Lamins’a music unfolds, and listeners float freely and choose their own adventure in the Lamina’s home. Less a set of songs than its own evolving environment, Sueños Acuáticos (‘Aquatic Dreams’ in English) is a meticulously constructed work in which we can freely float.
