Mim (Mitamine Lab)~ Correspondence Nº33

Living Room n°19 ~ @8salamanda8

q. pls introduce yourselves

> Salamanda is a Seoul-based Leftfield Ambient music producer/DJ duo of Uman Therma (Sala) and Yetsuby (Manda).
Salamanda believes every sound has beauty, and loves to collect and experiment with all kinds of sounds from the world around them.


q. is there a story behind the mix?

> Before working on the mix, we coincidentally saw a picture of one of our favorite artists' living room from a magazine. From the photo, the place seemed very welcoming, cozy, sophisticated and peaceful... and we wondered what it would be like to live there.
So this mix is about our fantasy of having a cup of tea in each of our dream houses on a rainy summer afternoon.


q. what's the best way to enjoy your mix?

> On a lazy, a little bit gloomy late morning or early afternoon, grab a hot coffee, get your blanket, turn this mix on, and look out the window.


q. describe a favourite object in your living room...

> Sala's answer: Happy plants.
> Manda's answer: Cat tower.


q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?

> In terms of our release, we had a new release that came out most recently called "Sphere," which you can check out on Métron Records bandcamp or streaming platforms such as Apple Music / iTunes, Spotify and more.
As for other interesting music-related projects, luckily we've been able to work on a series of exciting projects that we really enjoy(ed) being a part of. They will be revealed soon, so please keep your eyes peeled!

Living Room n°19 ~ Salamanda

The rhythms of sleep are unknown to the sleeper. Usually, only with interruption, or dreams, or through wakeful observation, are we made aware of them. And even then, only somewhat. On this cassette, Zenxen uses his research into the cycles of sleep and rest to explore and recreate the phenomenon of neural oscillations. 

The tracks sound as if they’re composed of water, vapor, and dust. Trails of percussive events and simple melodic gestures accompany low end sculpting that moves like water, vapor, and dust. Like a tour of the body’s rhythmic structures, these are the waves within, crashing on interior shores. The electrical activity of the brain’s neurons are measured in hertz—cycles per second. Using a range of sampling techniques, Zenxen recreates alpha, theta, and delta waves to construct sonic models of the brain in various states.

Collaging other compositional elements into the works, such as field recordings of whispering voices, and the rise and fall of cicadas, Zenxen forms a tapestry that resembles autonomic processes, like a breath, or a secreting gland. Lullabies in one sense—these tracks were composed for an overnight drone event in the artist’s hometown of Berlin—in another they are intensely awakening, serving as activations of specific frequency windows. 𝐼𝑛 𝑊𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑠 is a sonically cavernous descent, down into the brain’s most mysterious and rejuvenating depths.

Zenxen [ˈzɛn ˈdʒɛn] is an interdisciplinary ambient project from Benedikt Ellebrecht, combining academic studies in sociology, literature, and philosophy, time spent playing in post-punk bands, and ongoing participation in the underground electronic music scene in Berlin, Germany. 

Starting with experimentation with sample-based techniques, Ellebrecht has developed Zenxen into a digital musique concrète. He processes and reassembles field recordings from his immediate physical surroundings as well as drawing from virtual spaces such as the internet and videogames. As Zenxen, he has self-released 2 EPs and regularly performs live. 

Ellebrecht also contributes sound design for theatre and performance pieces, including at Ruhrtriennale Essen 2016 and at Staatstheater Darmstadt 2019 in collaboration with Niels Wehr. And in 2017, he co-founded the multimedia label No Disk (https://www.instagram.com/nodisk_/) with Joel AS (Arad Acid).

De bruits et d'ondes - GUEST MIX BY KINDTREE

Living Room n°28 ~ @malvern-brume

q. pls introduce yourself

I'm Rory, I live in South East London, spend a good deal of time working with sounds and putting various names in front of it, but mainly do things as Malvern Brume. I run a small label with my good friend Ben Waggett called Infant Tree and do all sorts of other stuff in and around those things.

q. is there a story behind the mix?

Not sure there's much of a story in terms of a narrative but usually when approaching these things, unless i've got a burning urge to do something specific, its a case of playing the music i've been listening to most at that given time (which is why in most of my mixes you'll hear something to do with Af Ursin or Karla Borckey because I seem to listen to them all the time!). I find I fall quite easily into listening to music that reflects how I'm feeling, as I'm sure most do so it's nice to have a document of it to look back on. I like music that challenges me and my perception of what I would deem to be good. Quite often I find things like the music I've played at the start of the mix to be confronting, something to do with the minimal instrumentation and probably some emotional entanglement. I think writing about sound can be an impossibly difficult thing to do and there's very few people who do a good job of it (in my opinion) so I'm hesitant to say too much! haha

q. what's the best way to enjoy your mix?

All the music I've picked is stuff I've listened to whilst walking or cycling so I'd say that would be one suggestion. I really enjoy the disturbances and interactions that come from listening in a less controlled listening environment, especially when you come across tones that oscillate against what's happening in the music. Walking is a really important part of the Malvern Brume stuff in general. Most of the music for it is based on walks I've done or graphic scores I've made whilst walking. When I'm listening back to the recordings it's usually when walking that I decide whether to do something with it or not.

q. describe a favorite object in your living room

I've got a painting by Ben Waggett who does Infant Tree with me (it's titled Shoreham Hovel https://www.victorwaggett.co.uk/threeanchorites/). I love it, I think I asked Ben for it when he was finishing uni and hope it stays with me forever. I live in a shared house with some friends so it's probably the most sentimental thing I keep down here (I'm in the living room now)

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?

Yeah, I've got a few things on the go. Next thing to surface will be a tape for Kashual Plastik, which may even be out by the time this surfaces (Last track in the mix is from this tape). Very stoked to be working with my friend Frank to get that music out and I'm really happy with how it sounds. Myself and Sholto Dobie have been editing some recordings we made when I was in Vilnius to see where that will go, which I'm excited about (again I played one of the tracks in this mix). There's another release lined up with some music I made early 2020, not sure when that will surface but it's in the works, and then I've started recording some new MB stuff and am working on some music for different projects. I like to take pictures and recordings of bird houses I find on walks so i'll be keeping that up for sure and maybe one day i'll do something with that, and there's some other work i've been doing with walking and graphic scores for a couple years now but i'm in no rush to share that just yet!
