The 10th release of katharsis is the album “Matter Out Of Place” by @merdhlaleh , 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.

Éditions Appærent is immensely proud to present Guidelines, an EP by South Korean musician bela. Over seven incisive tracks, Guidelines is bela’s investigation of Nongak, a traditional form of Korean folk music. Through a process of meticulously uncovering sheet music from government archives and ensemble performances on YouTube, bela has crafted an astonishing album of pulsing, splitting, time-warping music, rooted in a traditional past and yet entirely distinct from it.

bela is a unique voice in electronic music. From their first release, their music has been suffused at every level with a narrative intensity and craftperson’s attention to detail; a conceptual throughline that extends from their life directly to the musical elements of their work. In Guidelines this unique focus is found in the concept of “Jangdans” -- discrete rhythmic patterns that make up Nongak, of which tempo changes are an essential aspect. This disciplined practice makes each bela record feel like a discrete object; a unified gestalt that is larger than the sum of its parts.

Born out of the dual impulses of painstaking researching and boredom with the sound of the club music around them, Guidelines is a unique experience. Tempo shifts, so essential to Jangdans, are responsible for some of the most striking musical moments here. Tracks like “Chilchae” and “Jjaksoe” are jaw-dropping exercises in jet-propulsion percussion, building to whirling, irresistible climaxes, while the lurching, scattershot rhythms of “Variation 1” or “Bangilgunak/Byeoldalgeori” are equally compelling.

Timbrally, the record is clattering and mercurial, built on bela’s skillful sound design. Based on what could typically be heard in a Nongak ensemble, bela has purposefully alienated the sounds from their source, and the sources from their sounds; a self-described attempt to queer both the sound and meaning of Nongak. Instead of making “computer Nongak,” bela is disturbing the fine mesh of historical rhythms and timbres with alien concepts of the DAW and the current moment.

This music is, in essence and execution, non-binary. It operates somewhere along the continuum of the past and the future while sounding totally unique to the present; and doesn’t belong fully to either world. The result is a record that is singular in its vision and excellence.

(dispersed signal) versions fragment the original material through granular time-warping, scattering its rhythmic core into drifting pulses and textured echoes. Like a fading transmission from deep space, these pieces unravel slowly, leaving behind only traces of their origin.

Levitate (dispersed signal)

For the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.

The melody is smooth and flowing, like a wave rolling across the sea.
