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”.

FallingDownTheStairs

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.”

Tous les fonds récoltés serons reversés à l'association @lesmididumieofficiel

all raised funds will be donated to @lesmidisdumieofficiel

Collectif solidaire avec les Mineurs Isolés Étrangers à Paris depuis 2016, les Midis du MIE apportent repas, orientations et soutient aux ados en exils.

L’Association créée en 2016 et dont les valeurs principales sont la solidarité, l’accès aux droits, aux loisirs et à la culture, la dignité des personnes et la protection des enfants, a pour but de soutenir et de participer à des actions en faveur des jeunes migrant·e·s.

Les principaux domaines d’activité de l'association sont les distributions alimentaires et non-alimentaires, les maraudes, l'accompagnement administratif, l'hébergement d’urgence, l'hébergement de jour et lieu de vie collectif, l'apprentissage et culture, entre autres. Toutes ces initiatives demandent des ressources financières constantes

De plus, le lieu qui abrite l'association est sous le coup d'une expulsion. Elle a donc plus que jamais besoin de soutien pour pérenniser ses activités et pour trouver le prochain lieu pour continuer d’offrir un accueil de jour aux jeunes à la rue.
C'est pourquoi nous souhaitons lui reverser la totalité des revenus générés par ce 2eme volume de T.I.G.

Chienne De Garde - radical tenderness

HORROR VACUI, a new short film directed by Matteo Zamagni in collaboration with ICA London / Channel 4 / Random Acts. Music & sound design by TSVI.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Horror Vacui, from Latin 'fear of empty space' 

This non-narrative film explores geological self-similar formations of Earth and the frenetic Hyper-development attained by humankind, culminating into a sense of claustrophobic anxiety conferred by the present condition. 

It reflects upon the alienation from nature as well as the act of perceiving, and the biased interpretation of the notion of 'reality'; 
By mixing CGI techniques and real footage the video blurs the distinction between reality and a digital recreation of it; 
thus making the viewers question themselves constantly whether what they are seeing is real or not.

Mice is back with his first album 0.01% after contributing Light EP and participating three compilation. The vibrating sound which like a gleaming metal shows the life cycle of a parasite . 

The whole album is divided into four chapter — a metempsychosis from fear to calm. Beginning with Warm 暖胃, the host's horror was continuously pushed by the fierce shattered beat and disturbed noise, and reached its peak in Upwelling 上涌. The parasite gradually entered the host's limbic system along with the exalted melody in Corrosion 腐蚀, secreting neurotransmitters to make the host fall into a false excitement. After the drop of the last note in Permeate 渗透, the host began to struggle with his own consciousness and slowly sink into the chaotic subconscious quagmire in Filter 过滤. From Sterillize 杀菌 to Break 突破, the host kept struggling unconsciously until death. The parasite broke out in Purification 净化 and greeted its own transformation — to a higher life form in peace. EndingStarted as the end of the album is not only the end of parasitism but also the beginning of new life.
