Zaumne's new album titled Élévation is a multifaceted yet subtle work, an abstract collage that is equally entrancing and immersive. Quoting passages from Baudelaire’s “Flowers of Evil”, the Polish musician promises to elevate the soul and consciousness “Beyond the sun / Beyond the ether”. Yet simultaneously, the artist wants us to stay where we are and focus on the immediate surroundings in search of our personal attachment to the world.

Initially recorded for the WET (Weird Erotic Tension) online community the four pieces are an exploration of erotic aspects of the environment and uncanny intimacy with other beings and objects that dwell in our nearest proximity. Just like on previous releases for labels like Czaszka Rec. or Perfect Aesthetics, on Élévation Zaumne maintains his interest in emotional aspects of sound and internet culture – he builds his compositions from fragments of ASMR-whispered poetry, samples of natural phenomena and field recordings from his family home and its environ.

What starts as an escapist exercise driven by uneasiness and ennui becomes an individual healing process, in which the subject rediscovers the strangely intimate relationship with the world and opens up to almost magical methods of communicating with other beings. ASMR samples and sounds of the artist touching, playing with and exciting different objects are an experiment in establishing contact with the non-human realm and a method of attuning the body and the mind to the reality in which everything is interconnected.

Zaumne tests Einstein’s “spooky action at a distance” through radical, sensual intimacy with what’s near, finding a glimpse of the absolute in his own room, again quoting Baudelaire: “To a child who is fond of maps and engravings / The universe is the size of his immense hunger”.

"Syra" is a perfect blend of the two producers' universes, fusing razor-sharped synthetic lines with elements of techno and dark-edged breakbeat. Following the "Materia" EP in collaboration with Circuit 900 released on our label last year and followed by an EP of remixes few months after, we're very pleased to welcome again the Norwegian producer Soldal, member of the KOSO CLUB family, alongside Tokyo-based producer T5UMUT5UMU, who been released on labels such as Knightwerk, Loveless Records and FunctionLab.

T5UMUT5UMU & Soldal - Syra

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.”

For our first album release of 2024, we are excited and honored to welcome Sote to the SVBKVLT family with ‘Ministry of Tall Tales’

Ata Ebtekar, better known as Sote, is an electronic music composer and sound artist based in Tehran, Iran. His wide-ranging love of rich sounds and textures is embodied in diverse paths such as hardcore club sounds, collaborations that straddle (traditional) acoustic and electronic instrumentation, and solo experimental electronics – making Ebtekar equally at home in concert halls, galleries, or clubs. Over the last three decades, he has released on labels such as Warp, Sub Rosa, Morphine, Diagonal, and Opal Tapes.

‘Ministry of Tall Tales’ is an electronic music composition that reflects on hyperbolic orchestrations of political and social current affairs.

In this work, notions such as misinformation/disinformation, biased mental states, bigotry, dogma and ultimately corruption are brainchild of the composer in order to achieve a sonic spirit in abstract form.

Ludicrous and distorted human behaviors are told by magnifying musical intervals and entering the spaces in-between, and simultaneously dramatizing subtle microtonal motifs, ultra-fine polyrhythmic, polymetric and polytempic pitched patterns assemble the skeleton of an engine symbolizing various systems.

The configuration and framework of this mechanism represents both harmonious and non-harmonious aspects in society. Rearranging and coloring components of tradition, neglecting moral codes, and separating ingredients of rituals to showcase humankind’s failures and accomplishments.

The composer has been experiencing an immense amount of frustration, anger, confusion, helplessness and fear because of what has been happening in his surroundings and the sociopolitical system. Consequently, the music is contemplations on corruption, oppression and murder.

“Ministry Of Tall Tales” is an all-synthesis based work, dark and melodic with a noise aesthetic.

Lyrics:
沉入无梦的清澈水底
脊椎逐渐软化 黑色体液灌入翅脉
鹥緫之影触碰到受伤的恐惧
浅绿色的光带 理性的悲哀
在一切的尽头只有无法回头的灾厄
真正的世界到哪里去了呢？
