The 10th release of katharsis is the album “Matter Out Of Place” by Merdh Laleh, which will come out on April 15th. It will be the first physical release of the label, manufactured in an edition of 49 cassette tapes. Behind the Merdh Laleh moniker is the Copenhagen-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Valdemar Kragelund, who released his debut album “Water For Your Eyes” in 2019 on the danish label Petrola 80.

This second release of the artist is a collection of tracks and sketches made from vastly different perspectives and in divergent conditions, but which peculiarly made sense when put together in the context of the album. Consequently, the album seems to be a reflection on things that do not fit into a context. Themes of ostracism, the socially disadvantaged, shattered dreams and a lack of hope permeates the sonic atmospheres with deviating glimpses of serene and nostalgic
memories framed in sound.

The artist, who besides his Merdh Laleh moniker functions as one third of the experimental jazz trio Køs and as the keyboardist in the dark theatral rock band Josiah Konder, weaves together arcane synth-melodies with eerie vocals and hallowed saxophones to a veil of unsound laments. With katharsis-founder jjjacob contributing with the artwork and mastering, “Matter Out Of Place” sends the listener on a delirious journey, trying to understand the metaphysics of being the missing piece in a puzzle within a context you are not aware of.

AMISH BOY - DISTO SKUGE MEDLEY

Almost one whole year has passed since the foundation of katharsis was laid down with the launching of the label by the release of the three elemental compilations, The Flow of Water, The Burn of Fire, and The Breath of Air. Since then, seven different artists have put out EPs, albums and even a cassette tape on katharsis, yielding a total of 10 releases through this first year of existence. 

The vision of the label was to show the world how music is our best tool to process moods, thoughts and emotions by self-therapeutic involvement with the arts, which the artists have truly realized for the label by sending us incredibly stellar music to release throughout the year. The support from the community has been overwhelming, and we feel it is time for us to give something back to you. 

Therefore, we have scanned thoroughly through our discography to chop and collect small snippets of sounds, compiling a sample pack of ready-to-use .wav-files for your DAW of preference. This simultaneously reflects the aim and philosophy of katharsis, to enable and accommodate all people in their potential for making art and to break down the boundaries of creativity resulting from our copyright infringed society. Go ahead and use the samples in your productions, we are already excited to hear what will come out of it.

As a demonstration of the contents of the sample pack and its creative abilities, label founder jjjacob have put together a track only using sound material from the sample pack. The result is a ethereal landscape sequenced from the extracted emotional core of the katharsis discography, that will hopefully inspire you to take the samples in use!

Taken from SBKT040: Yen Tech - Assembler

Release date: 28th May 2021

With Assembler, his second full-length album, Yen Tech re emerges in ecstatic and primordial new form -- a multi-layered and interwoven work that blends futuristic production, meta-science fiction, and anthropic critique into a dizzying array of next scenarios -- a maze-like vision of our technological and exponentially oracular, full-stack future.

This imagined future becomes a construct or place in itself; one in which the record buzzes and swarms; a mechanosphere of towering melodic vocal samples and sound design - all narrated by Yen Tech's unnerving, diaristic vocals - as he channels the form of post-human techno cretin, whispering hyperbolic ASMR to no one in particular. We follow this character from one disorienting experience to the next as he recites a stream of indecipherable neologisms and hyper-descriptives, the existential residue seeping from every line. In the end though, a strange, uneasy beauty comes into focus; the metamorphic lyrics and musical euphorias revealing Assembler as a type of elegy: a wet glass reflection of the failures of what we are and were - and a jubilant celebration of what we may become.

"I imagined Assembler as a type of self imposed simulation, an invisible boundary that the narrator has to navigate out of to move forward. It was a way of looking at how we may carry the issues and failures of the past with us into the future. The psychological baggage of history, the guilt of geotrauma, the addictive melange of technology all become dealt with in this stage of acceptance and recovery. I wrote the album with this in mind, a process to find the slimy pearl of who we are" - Yen Tech

VORONHIL - 19

I worked on this track this summer, after the lockdown. I had a great desire to make music and to experience different environments and sounds from those that had surrounded me up to that moment.
Cochlea stands for the need to breathe, to change the thought that had pervaded me up to that moment, it is the awareness of having found my missing part.
