We`re All Empty Space

“The problem with introspection is that it has no end.”― Philip K. Dick

Wistful feelings buried in your eyes, 
Secret yearning no one hears your cries, 
Who will help you? Where is all your might?
Lost all hope, this battle you can't fight.

You can't help but shed that lonely tear, 
Blissful feeling, nothing left to fear, 
One step closer to finding some light, 
Darkness somehow, never felt so bright. 

Take it easy, I know that you can,
For there is something else,
I know there's something else, 
There's always something else, 
Believe in something else.

Having some fun in The Lab Brushing the dust off a gorgeous 1969 Solartron JM1861 Pseudo Random Signal Generator... 

Made by blending a few layers of a lab sine oscillator being modulated by the weighted analog output of the 1861 at various probability distributions and clocking rates along with layers of various raw digital sequences fed through the built in low pass filter at various settings.  Recorded hot onto my much loved 1967 Mk III Revox G36 tube half-track 1/4" tape machine.

...and no, the noise isn't tape hiss.. :-]

1969 Solartron JM1861:  A Journey Into The Random...

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.”
- Marta Núñez Pouzols

David Coccagna (Chaperone) is a Queens-based writer and musician focusing primarily on transgressive human behavior, poverty, class division, and addiction. Born and raised in Philadelphia, the principle imagery and sonic influences of the depressed Northeast neighborhood Lawncrest has served as the palette and canvas Coccagna works upon. He has released worked with labels Great Circles, Jungle Gym, Con.apt, and Minor Adjustments, with more recent focuses leaning into repetitive sound and theme. He is an avid cyclist and has two cats.

teaser: bernhard günter - monochrome rust

This is a recording of a live solo performance on clarinet and soprano saxophone at the City Kirche in Koblenz, Germany on 27. March 2015. I played to a six-channel sound installation of my electroacoustic work that had been on all day. Free improvised music is what I'm up to these days, mostly solo, mostly soprano, and I'm beginning to record in places that offer interesting acoustics. The City Church does not have interesting, but fantastic acoustics, and the installation / performance project will be documented as an album on my label trente oiseaux.

from the album "Stereo Bugscope 00" (CD 2004)
by  Haco
「ステレオ・バグスコープ 00」
HACO

The name "Stereo Bugscope" refers to a performance system that detects oscillating sounds emitted by the circuitry of electronic devices. It also signifies the act of listening to the electromagnetic world that emerges from the inside of devices such as computers, cell phones, MD players, and wireless routers through the use of two inductive microphones (pickups). The oscillating-circuit sounds come from the IC board and clock, and the electromagnetic noise comes from the electrical current that turns the fan and drives the motor. Waveforms similar to the audio frequencies of electromagnetic leakage, which is faintly emitted from machines, are also released by the inductive coil in a pickup. The sound is then electronically amplified to magnify these signals which are ordinarily so faint as to be inaudible. According to one's position in relation to and distance from the source, changes in the sound can be observed. 

ステレオ・バグスコープ｣は、電子機器内部における回路上の動作発振音を検出するシステム。二つの誘導性マイクロフォン（ピックアップ）を用いて機器回路から発生した電磁界を覗く。 コンピュータ、携帯電話、デジタル・プレーヤー、無線ルータなどの基盤上のIC、クロック、ファン、モーター駆動などによる電磁ノイズを拾う。 機器からかすかに磁気漏れした音声周波数の信号と同様の波形が、ピックアップの誘導コイル内にも発生し、それを電気的に増幅している。これらは通常、不可聴な微弱信号である。発生源との位置、距離の関係により音の変化が観察できる。

Marc Behrens "Irregular Characters" (excerpt)

Excerpt of a CD released in 2012 on and/OAR.

A journey to the Chinese Qinghai province (Tibetan culture region of Amdo) was commissioned by the Goethe-Institut China. Its purpose was to experience the province and to produce art works to be presented at The Third Guangzhou Triennial, subtitled «Farewell to Post-Colonialism» in the same year. The sound installation Unit and a series of photographs called Cutting Qinghai resulted from this journey, during which I took photographs and made audio recordings. The installation was presented from September 6, 2008 to November 18, 2008.

Unit consists of five pairs of floor-mounted frame drums and hanging loud speakers. The frame drums resonate, depending on the sound pressure level from the speakers, which hover a few centimeters above them. There are four sound elements (stones, crickets, cymbals and drums used in the 5-channel audio composition for this set-up, which were auto-selected and projected onto the frame drums according to an aleatoric script on a multi-channel DVD.)

50 copies of this release come with a (6.75" x 6.75") 40 page book entitled Cutting Qinghai. The regular edition of the CD is limited to 250 copies.
