The red  Diamond Song

"Le chant des sirènes"
by Jean Mi, 1/2 of @gboi_jeanmi, running @silurealbinosfishingclub & @comicsansrec

Ah si seulement je pouvais dire à celle qui m'a vu naître
Comment est la tempête qui se dessine au bout de ma lunette
Avançant vers moi, telle l'inéluctable Destinée
Brisant les navires tout comme l'espoir de l'esquiver

À mesure que la mort souffle sa terrifiante hymne au néant
C'est un tout autre récit qui jaillit du fin fond de l'océan
Absorbé par cette mélodie irrésistible, j'esquisse un sourire
Bise à celui qui, de son genou sur ma nuque, me verra mourir

"OMIC is a new side-project from Ian McDonnell - better know as electronic music producer and DJ Eomac - exploring the experimental, the unusual, the idiosyncratic side of his output. Inspired by the idea of 'outsider' music and explorative producers like Jim O'Rourke and Arthur Russell, OMIC approaches music without the constraints of genre and style or the 'dancefloor' considerations and conventions that are usually present in Ian's output. Off-key vocal experiments, downtempo electronica, ambient, noise, pop, techno - expect all, any and none of the above.

"This EP is as the title suggest - songs and instrumental tracks expressing themes of hope and frustration. Hope because I am always hopeful for humanity and I believe that our true nature is kind and loving . I remain an optimist even in the face of a bleak global, cultural and political landscape. Frustration because I am frustrated with the way we currently live in human society. The greed, hate, intolerance, inequality, the sheer stupidity of so much of it. So many things make so little sense to me and never have"- Ian McDonnell

"S. English is an Austin, Texas based musician working within the loose language of the industrial music vocabulary. Shane balances bombastic rhythmic passages with ominous ambience. For the Psychic Liberation Show on Montez Press, we explore the grounds laid in the Denton, Texas scene of the mid 2000's. We explore the formative time Shane spent participating in said community, and his time developing the beginning of his collaborative group Corporate Park. Part 2 airs in August, focusing on the solo efforts Shane has undertaken since 2014.

↯ flash across the intervals ↯ is the first new powell LP since 2016’s Sport on XL Recordings ⨧ the first music available physically since his 2018 collaboration with Turner-Prize winning artist Wolfgang Tillmans ➬ oscar wanted it known that this is not intended as a definitive album ↪︎ the realisation/release of some bold new statement, a singular mark of identity or triumphant elucidation of years of valiant work ↩︎ rather, it is simply 35 minutes of music segmented from an overall flow of stuff ⥄ a variable torrent of hyper-synthetic composition brought about by entirely other things ⇩ circumstances that relate in no way to a previous life led within the toxic/capitalist bubble of taste, music, entertainment and ‘community’ ▷ as René Char once wrote, ‘no bird has the heart to sing in a thicket of questions’, and so it was that oscar found himself bereft of courage, stripped of any enduring connection to his work, dissociated from many of the fragile and reactionary structures that had previously held him up. when your own distributor won’t answer your emails ☀︎ when the illusion of reality dissolves around you ☀︎ how can you not think as Leibniz once did: ‘we thought we had arrived at port, but found ourselves thrown back out on the open sea.’ it is easy to be moulded by a contemporary space that leaves you with no possibility of creating anything at all, in a kind of zero state of expression that inevitably forces you to look elsewhere ↙︎ to pursue a Deleuzian line of escape out towards a horizon line that never draws closer. here at least, out on the waves, new cartographies can be traced and new connections formed. 

this album thus functions as a message in a bottle: cast from unknown coordinates, it maps some of these connections, not least in its close relationship with the visual work of michael amstad and marte eknæs ➔ their imagery fills this music ➔ oscar’s music inflates their films. what emerges from the fog is a luminous three-headed constellation of melodic lines in non-sensical interplay with one another ⥄ here on record, though, spinning at a speed of your choosing, and with eyes closed and no imagery to hand, the feeling remains of a profound decentring, music discontinuously carb✲nated by an alternate geography of relations, the depths of which are only just beginning to be explored.

"[mix for endlessly studying, in follow Moten; ‘I think we were committed to the idea that study is what you do with other people. It’s talking and walking around with other people, working, dancing, suffering, some irreducible convergence of all three, held under the name of speculative practice.’ (The Undercommons)]" @zourry
