Psychic Liberation presents the "Sonic Encyclopedia Series", an eclectic batch of short run tapes aiming to explore and document a wide cross section of aural content around the world. Specialization and confines of genre are antithetical to the direction of this nebulous encyclopedia of tapes. The artists chosen are curated by Nick Klein, with design and illustrations provided by Scott Goodman.

Richard Vergez is a mainstay of the Miami, Florida experimental music community working under various monikers and running the label Noir Age, a receptacle for visual and sonic creations. On this Night Foundation cassette, the viewer is brought into post Indu0strial , somewhat New Age, sonic territory. Doting loops of blissful synthesizers and bellows from a far of origin, the tape is an ouroboros; at once creating and making malleable its own environment.

Rememberance

@lulu2105
This months mix is by Lulu. She is based in Amsterdam, and has been a prominent figure in pushing the Amsterdam scene for years, contributing to the Strange Sounds From Beyond period and in recent days co-programming the Amsterdam internet ‘Radio Tempo Não Pára' and holding a residency at Garage Noord. 
While the clubs turned into empty spaces, Lulu spend her time studying the social significance of sound within her field Anthropology. We are glad to have her contributing to the Knekelhuis mix series with a firework mix. 
Spoken word, industrial dub, mutant pop and rap music come together in a web of very clever breaking rhythms. Dismantling tempo changes flying around fast in this contrary cross-cultural track selection. Thank you Lulu!

Dead Inside Podcasts: Sounds of A Post Apocalyptic Landscape by O Yuki Conjugate - 30/07/2021

Russian Tsarlag and Secret Boyfriend are two of the most distinctly inimitable makers in the canon of the contemporary American “DIY” underground. In 2013, the two artists released an untitled split 12” on Ryan Martin’s (Secret Boyfriend) prolific “Hot Releases” label. As two of the foremost archetypal figures of their collected contexts, it’s a pleasure to host the pairing as a part of the ENXPL series again sharing new work.

Russian Tsarlag’s side A is gorgeously trudging and despondent; these syrup drenched ballads and collages sit amongst some of his finest work, (see his most recent self released work through his Wasp Video Roadhouse imprint). Side B is the domain of Secret Boyfriend. The effort hosts an eclectic batch of dense and emotive ambient passages, live recording, and bedroom shoe-gaze. Martin’s Secret Boyfriend project allows for a fluidity in form and content, mastering longing through a myriad of languages.

Acidic Male

Working as a visual artist and writer, Puck Schot once felt the need to express a more masculine voice within her poetry. Curious about electronic music, she started making experiments around 2019 with the Korg MS-20, poetry on violence and distorted drum samples as Acidic Male. In that same year, she started collaborating with RJM Vanderheyden as 'Vot'ress' as well, combining harsh noise with nature sounds and Shakespearean texts. Since then, she had a high interest in industrial sounds, hypnotic drum patterns and experimental vocals. Having her performer name as a revenge title, she searches to “other” herself into the position of a manipulator, perpetrating the listener through the duality of softness and harshness within violent sounds and poetry. Yet, typically what is left is merely a penetration of herself as the subject, exposing her confessions, memories and hauntology. She is simply ripping in two, in front of an audience.

Wish You Well

Eastern Nurseries is proud to bring you its first vinyl release, a reissue of "Introvert Musik" by Copenhagen resident and multi-instrumentalist, Bjarke Rasmussen.

Curator of the excellent Infinite Waves imprint and working often under his Grøn alias, Rasmussen’s body of work sets to explore composition through means of repetition and minimal instrumentation. Composed for cello and grand piano and intended as a study on spatial ambience, “Introvert Musik” was recorded as part of a number of sessions at Blågård Church in Copenhagen last Spring and self-released by the artist on cassette shortly after. A patient reflection of the space and time of the recording itself, all eight pieces encompass the architecture of the room with finesse, painting a beautifully sparse picture of the interactions between performer, listener and location.

It is music for shared imaginary spaces, of memory and communion - contemporary human music at heart.

EN16

Recorded at Blågårds Kirke, Copenhagen in April 2020
