"For 0" is a radio show by usof where the most outward fringes of underground art are welcomed and brought together to create two hours of genderless musical submission.

@broshuda on the first hour with nothing but unreleased exclusives <3

For the past five years, Glyn Maier has developed a curatorial agenda for his enmossed label with an emphasis on recyclable and sustainable materials while living and recording within secluded natural environments. His level of dedicated praxis is illustrated with his latest 𝐸𝑛𝑣𝑖𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑀𝑖𝑥, concluding a dense output of 19 long-form listening cassettes. Capping the ENMX series run, 𝐸𝑛𝑣𝑖𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑀𝑖𝑥 is a deep distillation of the sonic agenda within the series and the label more broadly. Maier is keenly attentive to pace and spatial context, allowing for time to stretch, interweaving lush field recordings and emotive new age passages. All audio in this mix, just shy of the two hour mark, is culled from cassette recordings of classic 1970-80s field recording series (𝐸𝑛𝑣𝑖𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠, 𝑆𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑠, 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑂𝑐𝑒𝑎𝑛'𝑠 𝑅𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑆𝑢𝑟𝑓, etc) with their core utility being to invoke relaxation. Maier’s intentional recycling of materiality is an homage to respect for the environment, and in turn he is rewarded with bountiful environmental sonics to reshape. As the formal attributes of his selection process are in lockstep congruence with his lifestyle and production output, so does this chapter of the label's output come full circle.

Glyn Maier is a sound artist and field recordist living in Pisgah Forest, North Carolina. Non-city outdoor spaces are essential to Maier’s practice. With a formal education in physics and music composition, Maier’s preoccupations with natural objects, landscapes, and their social histories guide his recordings, which are then integrated into ambient electronic works utilizing organic rhythms and complex timbres. Maier’s abstract synthesis work is deeply informed by sound design, but his larger focus is on the agency of both machine and environment.

For The Past

Artist: GES
Album: Anthology of American Pop Music
Label#: faitiche22
Format: LP/DL
Release: Oct 23rd 2020

Six great pop standards remembered: five pop songs are dissected by sampler, stretched, compressed, and re-collaged. In this way, their identity is lost. What remains is a vague concreteness: flashes of déjà vu and remote echoes that evoke the original.
 
GES (Gesellschaft zur Emanzipation des Samples)
Active members:	Helmut Schmidt, Jan Jelinek
Founded: 2009
Headquarters: Federal Court of Justice, Karlsruhe, Germany

GES Glossary (excerpts):

- Acoustic Surveillance Series
A 7-inch vinyl record series curated by GES focussing on historical methods of acoustic surveillance. Each record introduces a surveillance system from the past. Starting with Uguisubari in 2017, the series will continue with the release of Oreccio di Dionysio in 2021. GES is open to further suggestions on this subject.

- Circulations
What happens to copyright claims when music from a passing car is captured in a street recording? Is it legal to use this recording freely or is it necessary to obtain licensing rights? Circulations re-enacts this recording situation: audio players are placed in public spaces, where they reproduce the desired sample material. The acoustically choreographed space is then recorded, creating a field recording in which everyday noises circulate together with seemingly incidental music.

- Emancipation of Sampling
Fuelled by its criminalization, the act of sampling existing recordings forfeited some of its artistic prestige (see Sampling). GES wishes to rehabilitate and re-emancipate the practice of sampling as a form of art in its own right. Strategy: 1. Name samples and sources explicitly. 2. Choose samples that are as popular and as recognizable as possible (Beatles, Carpenters, etc.). 3. The editing and manipulation of the sample must not compromise its recognizability (negotiable). 4. Use as many samples as possible. 5. Always name more sample sources than were actually used in the composition. 

- Field Recording
A compositional practice widely used in sound art and ethnomusicology that involves the recording of natural acoustical phenomena. Two additional requirements are usually imposed: The recording process should take place outside a studio environment, i.e. outdoors. And the person recording does not generate any of the acoustic material him/herself. GES expands this definition by introducing the concept of choreographed public space (see Circulations).

- Gambling
An acoustic event favoured by GES, already used in numerous sound collages (must take place in public). The most popular option is thimblerig, a cup and ball gambling game commonly played in the street. Compositional instruction by GES: Place an audio playback device in the proximity of a thimblerigger. Play works for orchestra (by Debussy or Mahler). Move slowly towards the gamblers with a microphone.

- Kraftwerk
The German band founded by electropop musicians Florian Schneider-Esleben and Ralf Hütter (a.k.a. Die Prozessoren) is the natural enemy of GES. Protected by computer-generated avatars, Kraftwerk operates a quote-hostile cultural hegemony. Their strategy: Install a special brand in the collective consciousness by means of a sophisticated system of quotations and references that may in turn not be quoted by anyone else. Other bands with such delusions of omnipotence: U2, Metallica.

- Sampling
Compositional practice whereby recorded music is fragmented, turned into sound collages and transferred into different contexts of meaning. Since the advent of affordable sampling technology in the 1990s, the music industry has been trying to criminalize and/or promote the practice. Both strategies are driven by the same principle: Profit.
