“giant reptile tongue slowly u n f u r l s toward a looming cloud
home of spicy drops that pierce the air into tiny peepholes

these taste buds widen like pink pupils
they get bigger to let more flavor in
receiving is both greedy and generous
a will to be shaped by sensation
and the knowledge it leaves behind
a snail’s trail pointing to the exits in this ship

this tasty cloud swims over us
changing the color in everything
lips kind of blue, asphalt’s sparkle metallic
skin becomes oyster, translucent
taking in the light and giving it back
in the form of something that slides down
the way sweat may fall in a straight line
or make a turn to drive
around the temple

this cloud abducts the earth
by sudden temperature change
lack of sun makes plants and rocks turn inward
the sky now a sheltering vault
distributing the heavy weight of what’s above”

- Marta Núñez Pouzols

Sachi Kobayashi began making house music in 2017 but in recent years has shifted her focus towards ambient and experimental sounds. Kobayashi has sung in choirs since childhood, drawing from those experiences in her current focus in making harmonic ambient music. The liturgical aspects of her history in choirs is present in her work, which explores the theme of "the conflict between the sacred and the secular". Kobayashi also takes inspiration from nature and her surrounding environment of Saitama, Japan. Ever-broadening her artistic pallet, she has recently been developing and recording harsher sounds in the realm of noise music.

Clouds in the Sky

Sachi Kobayashi - Clouds in the Sky V (ENMS-03)

Somewhere between the ears and the eyes is a bridge of imaginary light. Somewhere in a dark room a bright cone of photons connects a slide projector to a wall. Dust motes drift like plankton in the glow. One thought overtakes another as the carousel clicks forward, shuffles; a new piece of celluloid drops into the projection slot, a new image illuminates the wall — visions of a recent past, filtered through what Mark Templeton calls the 'pink hue of mystery...' The ten compositions on Templeton's INNER LIGHT are reel-to-reel tape loop arrangements based on some 70s- and 80s-era meditation cassettes (found in a church library, with an archive of photographic slides which reappear in Templeton's supplementary photobook, A GUIDE TO INNER LIGHT).

Originally made to foster relaxation and well-being in a liturgical setting, the recordings now have a lysergic skew, as if heard underwater during the immersion of a baptism — a sonic lustration... An electric fan blows air onto an incandescent bulb hidden inside the machine. We hum along as the filament burns and we puzzle together a fantasy. We hear the inner light before we see it. The ears tell the eyes where to look, and the eyes look inward.”

- Mike Slack

Mark Templeton is a Canadian media artist and the founder of Graphical, an audiovisual label dedicated to publishing his own musical and image based experiments. Mark’s audio compositions are constructed from reel-to-reel tape loops and sampled cassettes that are contrasted with contemporary sound techniques. In his published photobooks, he incorporates his own 35mm pictures and found images, focusing on intangible fantasies and realities. During his audiovisual performances, he utilizes digital instruments while projecting his own photographs, VHS footage, Super 8 film, and other sampled video.

Since 2007, he has released material on various international record labels and photobook publishers, both as a solo artist and in collaboration with other artists.

Templeton has performed live and exhibited his work at art galleries, festivals and alternative spaces throughout North America, Europe, United Kingdom and China.

Inner Light

Mark Templeton - Languages (ENXEVP03)

After a decade of familial collaboration within the formative canon of the PL project, Elizabeth Davis proposes the potentially conclusive effort of Wilted Woman with "What's Her Secret?". Baroque computational improvisations, off-kilter frequency modulations, serene CR-78 yacht-yoga grooves, minimalist rhythmic studies of the highest pensive proto-techno order... Really, What's Her Secret?

Wilted Woman here offers the best evolution of every tape, 7" EP, 12" EP, and LP effort she has shared of her absolutely singular and maximal catalog to date. Here we see the Wilted one at her least frivolous and most direct. Having been a major bridging force between shifting generations of DIY ethos and ideologies, as well as a rallying force between American and European networks and geographies, Davis shows AGAIN that she is the understated synth-but-punk utilitarianist underdog BOSS of the PL roster. It would be a trivialization of her immensity to note that Psychic Liberation simply would not have existed in the manner it has established itself without Wilted Woman's consistent contributions since her first setting foot into the New York City PL store in 2013 to drop off her handmade cassettes. Simply, Davis is an indelible part of the ideological and formal architecture that has positioned this label project to continue it's efforts.

"What's Her Secret?" is a six song digital LP attached to a limited run of t-shirts. In the face of the widening gap between signal and signifier, medium and message, and those we have lost in the stereo wars, this chapter marker of an advancement in fashion will dissolve to dust...The files that come with the shirt will eventually be consolidated into some neurodigital vessel, indexicalized at the blink of your right eye, followed by the twitch of your nose, followed by a scratch of the groinal region, and ultimately played back at the conclusion of a sneeze. And as you adjust your cybernetic entry port at the back of your neck, you will stare vacantly out towards the horizon, squinting only able to ask yourself one thing.

"...What's her secret?"
