The World I Want Would Be Celestial, Wet

in swirling clouds of silver lace

Mister Water Wet is the alias of Iggy Romeu - producer, DJ, and fixture based out of the Kansas City scene that produced West Mineral Ltd and C Minus, among myriad other great producers and DJs. Always intriguing, Romeu’s music drifts into vague, enigmatic territory - channeling 90’s ambient, fourth world, exotica, and library to forge a sound that is uniquely his own. On a dreary, rainy night in late January, Mister Water Wet brought his signature sound to Nina HQ.

This performance can be listened to in its entirety and purchased as a digital edition at https://nights.ninaprotocol.com, with 100% of the proceeds going to the artist.

INDEXOXO<3

A third volume of nocturnes devoted to whetting all thirsts -
a salve to soothe all burns of desire.
For where there once was love,
ever shall its void fill with longing.

A Dream Of Truth (from Live Album)

Fond & Forme

"Florian T M Zeisig’s splendid debut 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘚𝘰 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 was constructed out of 426 tape loops from Enya’s 𝘞𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒏 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒌𝒚 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅. Using up to eight pitch-able tape players, the artist cut these loops and reassembled them, crafting captivating sound dialogues whose unforeseen and precise beauty emerges from a sense of curiosity and awe in the layered relationship between fragments. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝒄𝒍𝒐𝒄𝒌 𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒔 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒅, 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒂 𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒈𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏.

For the 5th anniversary of this work, Zeisig revisited the original archive of loops and created an absorbingly introspective second volume with loops that had not been previously used, following the same approach. 𝑨 𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒌 𝒇𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒂𝒌𝒆, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒔 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒍𝒆𝒇𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒅.

𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘚𝘰 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 was largely focused on technique and conceptual elaboration, but 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘚𝘰 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘐𝘐 is not so preoccupied with an overly intellectual quest. 𝑩𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒐𝒕 𝒖𝒑𝒐𝒏 𝒔𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒊𝒄𝒂 𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒑𝒔, 𝒘𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒖𝒑𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒏 𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒉 𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒅. 𝑶𝒖𝒓 𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒕𝒔 𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒕𝒉 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒊𝒑𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅.

Freeing itself from formal concerns as a guiding principle, the second volume unravels from a deeply emotional impulse towards artistic and personal honesty. 𝑨 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒆𝒗𝒂𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒔 𝒔𝒐𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒐𝒅. 𝑰𝒕𝒔 𝒆𝒄𝒉𝒐 𝒌𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒏. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒔, 𝒊𝒕 𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒂𝒏𝒔. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒛𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒏’𝒕 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕.

While the first volume opened up spaces of unprecedented wonder, the second not only expands these spaces and stretches them out into landscapes: more importantly, it also dares to inhabit them. 𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅 𝒂 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒎𝒚 𝒗𝒐𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝒔𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒉𝒂𝒖𝒏𝒕 𝒊𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒔. A liberation from the mandate that artworks need to be “about something,” 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘚𝘰 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘐𝘐 stands as a mirror made of memories, offering a meaningful reflection of the last five years of the artist’s life. 𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒐𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒂𝒏 𝒐𝒎𝒏𝒊𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅𝒃𝒚𝒆: 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒕𝒓𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏."

You Look So Serious I + II

Florian T M Zeisig - x (ENMB-06-II)

Incredibly glad to be premiering the a-side of Pat's latest offering on enmossed; an LP which nascent sounds we had the opportunity to host in 2022 at OCCII in Amsterdam. At times an unapologetic outburst against the system, e.78 holds the listener captive as it paints a sonic picture of the society we have become.

An array of commonplace metal objects - chains, pans, a bicycle, a chair - recorded by Ross Alexander at home in Berlin during the pandemic comprise the source material of 11 𝑮𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔. Functioning as a temporal and mnemonic exploration into the nature and conception of “home”, the album evokes Alexander’s earliest memories and broader hauntological perspectives of post-industrial England:

“Growing up in South Yorkshire in the 1980s and 90s was an existence haunted with the ghosts of a heavy manufacturing industry which once thrived in the region. On both a visceral and sensorial level it might be considered equally as impossible to escape the nostalgic stories of mines and steelworks as it was to escape the smell of molten metal in the air drifting from the Don Valley.”

The improvised metallic scrapes, bangs, and bowings recorded by Alexander were further abstracted in live performances using granular sampling techniques, creating a new and extrinsic world to which subconscious thoughts can flee, sonically and contextually. The results are both dreamy and unpredictable, fusing the immediacy of acoustic percussion with the billowing resonances imbued by granular synthesis.

“On tracing back through distant memories of my formative years for sound-objects which represented to me the essential idea of ‘being from’ as opposed to ‘being a visitor’ I related to a pervasive association with the sounds of metal and metallic objects, mostly in respect to how certain structural properties relate to haptic and resonant nature and the manifestation of those properties as sonic results. I feel this is the result of growing up in a place where heavy industry, or at least the remnant of which, was central to society, community and everyday life.”

Ross Alexander - Piece 2 (ENMD-04)

"Tumble into the dark kitchen, stub your toe and your necklace gives its beads to the floor. Each bead finds a completely separate trajectory. The second you turn on the lights one of them suddenly stops in the middle of the room. This bead wants to go unnoticed, and possibly merge with the fluorescent buzz. It looks like a secret sorry roach in an alien bright savannah. It’s convinced that lack of movement grants an invisibility cloak against predators and spectators. You respect the bead and don’t pick it up. With time it becomes as fixed as furniture.

One day you’re watching the news. There is a volcano waking up on screen. The camera zooms into the slowest lump of lava and you notice the bead has been changing. Cheek against cold tile to look closer: the bead is growing spores. Your pupils widen like a circle of water made by a rock falling into a dim black pond."

“In the back of the throat there is a subterranean river that holds you, humming towards the cave’s end. This end is a liminal mirror reflecting the contours of your voice. The mirror shows how —when brought to certain aquatic depths— unheard of limbs and wondrous branches are prone to sprout from your voice. Blind sibyls, your voice’s branches climb towards the surface, in search of light and warmth. After the great drought, your voice’s limbs persevere. They stand naked, pulsating in the purple that lies underneath grey. Your voice’s limbs erect themselves as monuments to air, kin among the deafening night. The water level is now only tall enough to keep your voice’s core below. Your voice, fed by the swamp, cradled by duckweed, wrapped in horse tail, has become a secret organ. Your voice palpitates and releases twin echoes that undulate, to smoke’s rhythm, in the afterglow. Intricately connected by labyrinth to soil and moon, through the water lilies’ roots, your voice weaves an underweb that flickers like the eye of a flame. Your voice sediments the entwined veils of miracle and prayer.”
