Falling Down the Stairs

FallingDownTheStairs

deep scannin

enmossed is pleased to present 𝑬𝑵𝑴𝑺, a new cassette series curated by artist and perfumer Daisy Paradise, Florian T M Zeisig, and Glyn Maier. Releases consist of pairing an artist’s album with a plant of their choice and feature an interview - spoken or written - connected to the chosen plant. RJM Vanderheyden realized the series design beautifully with UV-etched, and color-matched cassettes and cases made from recycled materials, drawing upon a collection of rare botanical illustrations.

In the works for over a year, we are delighted to debut the first album of the series from long-time enmossed associate Chaperone - 𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒇𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝑴𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒄, paired with chamomile and a chat between Daisy Paradise and Suzanne Belle Stone of Moon of Hyldemoer Herbals.

“Daisy Paradise tells us that when a plant is taken out of its comfort zone, its growth adapts to new and challenging conditions. Its properties change: they incorporate the difficulty and beauty of its foreign surroundings. Chaperone trawls the dusty grooves of bossa nova LPs, extracting forgotten melodies and re-contextualizing them into an indeterminate industrial churn. A boscagic echo rendered into a miniature plastic flower, partially submerged in a puddle alongside crumbling asphalt.

Suzanne Belle Stone reminds us that, while we obsess over the rare, we fail to honor and celebrate the gifts of the common - that’s why we tend to undermine the strength and the subtlety of the ever-present chamomile. Chaperone repeats a sound, looping it, making it common. An abundance of multiplicities that create a new temporality, helping us quiet our mind. Chamomile is quiet, chamomile listens. A flower that likes to grow in large groups, in community, surrounded by its own repetitions.

𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒇𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝑴𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒄 is a dense hive of loops spreading their subtleties and becoming common through the air, a rooting system weaving an all-enveloping sea of electric dust under which we listen, as in a dream, to the static effervescence of a swarm of chamomile seeds. Each of these seeds contains a tiny sun and a tiny moon. Plants come to you when you need them.”

Rojin Sharafi, a Tehran-born, Vienna-based sound artist, performer, and composer, fuses raw and abstract emotions with electronic elements that emulate acoustic sounds. Her distinctive musical language intertwines acoustic elements, replicating electronic textures and vice versa, resulting in a synthesis of resilient yet vulnerable and honest sonic expressions.
Using a mix of analog, acoustic, and augmented instruments, alongside custom-designed digital tools, Sharafi gained recognition for her debut album, "Urns Waiting to be Fed," described as “one of [2019’s] most ecstatic and fiercely original hours of music” by The Quietus. Following this success, she released "Zangaar" in 2020 and "Kariz" in 2021. In 2023, Sharafi, together with her band members from HUUUM, published their debut album—an exploration of folk futurism.

🌿 ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ꜱᴏɴɪᴄ ᴀɢᴇɴᴄʏ

Spurred on by the acuteness of current global events, we are raising our voices in solidarity with the oppressed, the tortured, the silenced, and the unheard. While humanity is at stake, and our values are on trial, in moments of despair, rage and endless grief, acts of solidarity are needed more than ever. The events that shake Palestine and Israel are resulting in an ever-tighter spiral of violence and desperation. They are a horrific wake-up call that brutally brings the precarious situation on our planet to the fore. The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, and Israel’s collective punishment of Palestinian civilians are intolerable. On top of that, the military actions threaten the lives of the remaining hostages in the Gaza-Strip, and even more innocent people in Gaza.


Listening is not neutral.
Listening shapes the reality we live in.
Listening is shaped by ethics and politics and leads back to it.
Listening is directly linked to memory and identity.
Listening is as important as speaking.
Listing is an active act.

SONIC AGENCY - ROJIN SHARAFI - "Those Wild Whispers"

(eng. late) @p_o_z_n_o an audiovisual collective specializing in organizing intimate, multisensory ambient events, was invited by @holyld . With their actions, they intend to blur the boundaries between a concert, a club set and an artistic performance, creating an atmosphere enabling the free experience of every type of sensitivity without strictly imposed rules.  
The group consists of:   
- adam salamøn @adamsalamon is - electronic music producer, DJ & VJ 
- sackaanna - visual artist, VJ 
- serenitysoundseeker - DJ, VJ and promoter of electronic music  
 
Each późno event is closely related to a specific concept, and its expression reaches almost all senses. The basis of the conceptual approach is music exploring deep, ambient, experimental sounds and visuals metaphorically related to the theme. Event venues are meticulously prepared. Space is decorated with proper lighting and instalations. Even air is filled with specially composed scent for each night.  
Spatial Flood is a two chapter journey. serenitysoundseeker delivers delicacy of sounds and wide emotional spectrum with her selection, while adam salamøn blends his live improvisations and unreleased sound collages into multi-layered story.  
Spatial Flood brings emotionally what lays ahead of us - early spring with all new endeavours, fears and hopes bursting in our hearts, minds and souls. Vast and open.

Ancestral Vision & notsureyet @Radio 1 [13/02/2024]

Penultimate Press is proud to unveil a global collaboration that embraces the planet we inhabit. One with a combined member and atmosphere of Santiago, Chile, Salsipuedes, Argentina and Berlin, Germany.

El Jardín de las Matemáticas (The Garden of Mathematics) was written and recorded by Alvaro Daguer (Glorias Navales/A Full Cosmic Sound/ETCS Records), Pablo Picco (Bardo Todol/Bolinga Everest Records), Tomás Salvatierra (Glorias Navales) and Mark Harwood (Penultimate Press).

Utilising Chinese drum, ocarina, shakers, flutes, whistles, violin, bells, acoustic guitar, gongs, clarinet, n’vike, harmonium, Korg ms-20, moceño, tapes. owl flute and more, The Garden of Mathematics is an alluring, alien, bizarre, colourful, curious, fascinating, peculiar, romantic and astonishing recording where beauty and unsettled beasts coexist in an exotic exploration of sound and song.

Navigating waters possibly traversed by Angus Maclise, Pygmy Unit and Charlie Nothing, the nine tracks this garden brings forth take the listener on a journey through sound and song via nature and the expansive mind.

The results are a a unique record steeped in a wild mix of folk, ethnomusicology, musique concrete and psychedelia.

"The aquatic is a concentric point of reflection within the latest release for Enmossed, procured as the split pairing of compositions by Finnish artists Kati Roover and J Koho. Both artists cull medial studies, collaborative processes, field recording, and geographically informed identitarian positionings in the audio works cultivated for cassette. Kati Roover’s aphotic meditations span across one side of the cassette, chiefly mirroring reflections on her Izhorian heritage, hydrofeminism thinking, and whale song captures. For the other side of the cassette, J Koho takes frameworks from Sound Studies paradigms to apply within his processed field recording efforts. Here, both artists service the latest edition of Enmossed’s ENMS catalog with mediated field recordings and sculpted isolatory liquidity formalism. Somewhere inside, the listener can be positioned enveloped in the dewy, aqueous sonorous realm of these two Finnish composers."

- Nick Klein

Kati Roover is a Helsinki-based, multidisciplinary artist. Her practice spans across the mediums of moving image, sound, photography, text and installations, draws upon and addresses a broad range of topics that are connected - from human, place and elemental interactions, mythopoetics, animisms and hydrofeminism, to the natural sciences and ecology.

J. Koho works extensively with sound and acts in many different roles in the field of sound art. Koho’s listening based artistic practice combines the methods, techniques and theories of acoustic, concrete, electronic, electroacoustic music and improvisation and simultaneously looks for meaningful and more sustainable ways to keep on working in this often technology-oriented and resource-intensive field.

J. Koho - Sijainteja [Excerpt] (ENMS-05)

"𝘪𝘯 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 is an affirmation of communion. An invitation to contemplate that we are threaded by the same material traces, imprinting us —first through our senses, then through the distillation of experience into memory and its gifts: perspective, continuity, belonging. An analog photograph contains traces of the light that touched who or what was pictured. A body of water is the link between anything that was ever in it, no matter whether it leaves or stays. Words, tarot cards, and any other signs are portals to all the previous and future times they emerge. The walls of a room in a gallery or a house are coated with what happened inside it. A harp string disrupts the elements with the same vibration that travels and interacts with our bones. 𝘪𝘯 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 is an invocation of the tangible as encounter, of the shared object as a site that refracts punctual experience into a new kind of collective knowledge. A portrait and a prayer that suture the wound between body and instrument, between voice and name."

in essence

in essence [Side B Excerpt] (ENXEVP04)

my favorite shirt is ruined.

“Not nostalgia, but memory.

Do the warped boleros on water-damaged tape sound the same in Saigon as they do in Havana? Is it the trait of memory or the Romance of dancing cheek to cheek that is the real undercurrent of boleros, or is it the sleeping warmth of memory being invented by the synesthesia of a true listener?

I believe these are some of the questions raised and cryptically answered by doris dana’s 𝒏𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒈𝒊𝒂 mixtape. Mónica Mesa, the Colombian sound artist who now works out of North Carolina, conjures up imagery so vibrant and familiar that to say it is “cinematic” would not do justice to the narrative the music produces. Through field recordings, indistinct chatter, and the bolero music itself, Mesa invents a new form of the genre, much like the permutation of boleros in Vietnam, which are slower in tempo.

Mesa recalls the sounds of their parents and grandparents and how she associates the ever-present musical style throughout their life. In this hour-long mixtape, we share in her imperfections to recall memory as we slog through the haze of what is remembered, what we are fed in culture as memory, and how we interact with others to clarify recollection. Where nostalgia seeks to implant memory in your mind and heart for the purpose of selling you a past that glosses over imperfection, true memory is foggy, left-handed, and rubbed dark with eraser marks of corrections made and made again.

A depiction of one’s own recollection is often brightened and polished for consumption, but this mixtape truly shows the cracks in our foundations. Not unlike a Frank O’Hara poem, in which trying to remember which day or month it is enters the lines of the poetry, or how in Calvino’s 𝑰𝒏𝒗𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝑪𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒔, Marco Polo begins recalling billboards and discarded refrigerators in his tale of the Orient to Kublai Khan, showing that the narrator is faulty in further presenting memories of another’s memories. This complexity draws you in, and you are rewarded with a sonic envisioning that many have attempted but few have achieved so deftly as doris dana.”

- David Coccagna, September 2025

doris dana is the sound project of Colombian-born artist Mónica Mesa, exploring the emotional tonalities of liminal spaces through field recordings, slow-moving drones, whispered vocals, and sparse, reverb-soaked electro-acoustic instruments. Named after Gabriela Mistral’s editor and confidante, doris dana gestures toward the study of quiet forms of intimacy and memory in sound.

Their latest album, 𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔 (Somewhere Press, 2024), offers a meditative, immersive listening experience. Mesa is also one half of the duo bad lsd trips, whose self-titled album and most recent release, 𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒕 (enmossed, 2025), expand on similarly experimental sonic territories.

In addition, she hosts No era sólida on Radio TNP—an hour-long mix series delving into the most introspective edges of sound, featuring experimental, cinematic, and free-form compositions that invite deep emotional engagement.

lado b [Preview Clip] (ENMX-xe)

"How does one listen to the ocean or look into a coming fog with any predictability or sense of measure? Is it foolish to quantify and attempt to time what happens in nature and how we observe it? Carl Ritger believes it futile.

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒔 title refers to the R Murray Schafer essay on soundscapes and our inability to tune and anticipate what will happen next, sonically and visually, in nature. Similarly, Ritger’s two long-form pieces develop on anticipation that can change at little notice. When I personally heard the material first performed live at the Great Circles event in partnership with enmossed in 2021, the music changed moment to moment from natural atmosphere to chittering electronics within minutes and seconds. Dizzying as it was (perhaps because of the oppressive heat), it made for a synesthesia of muted landscapes, hidden behind a smoke of gothic motifs. Ritger himself said that the sound hearkens to writers like Mary Shelley and the half-darkness her language imbues.

It has taken 4 years to realize this album, with ongoing conversations between myself, Carl, and Glyn Maier. As is often the case, you try to time things to perfection. If we have learned anything from the measures of nature and the process of this album, timing is never on your side."
