ML650: Huma / Hedonic Reversal

In June 2021, an unmarked package arrived at the Psychic Liberation headquarters. The small box, which had no return address, contained three items: a thumb drive, a printed message from a notes app, and a small satchel of what seemed to be carambola seeds. The note reads: “We were raised in the ashes of time. This is a philosophy of live. Made while sailing the seas of chaos on our humble houseboat, a place you’ll come to know. But do not seek us out. We are gone.”


Unwilling to risk a computer virus, or humor what was maybe a prank, the thumb drive sat on a shelf for a number of weeks. Eventually, label head Nick Klein decided to take it to the Royal Library of the Netherlands and open its contents on a computer there, just in case.


The thumb drive was titled jd swift. It’s unclear whether this is the artist’s name, the title of the album, or both. The recording opens with an alien spaghetti western: a chopped voice and wobbly single note, signaling that this is a strange place. The percussion is directionless at first, but warbled samples, including the nostalgic clink of getting a coin in Donkey Kong, give way to mutant structure.


Distorted twinkles, dubby hats, and big paranoid kicks occasionally swirl into lo-fi hurricanes, but mostly this music resides in the calm but weirdly charged eye of the storm.


Though little can be assumed about the context of these sonic creations, they seem to be the result of extended jams. The toolbox includes broken arpeggiations and fuzzed bells, air horns and watery pannings. This is twisted globalism, a nexus of serenity and catastrophe, a series of unrecognizable landscapes that read like field recordings though they are intentional creations. The inscrutability of their delivery captures perfectly the sense that artists are no longer individuals or collectives—they are circuits of larger machinery.


Meandering between sounds, these sui generis recordings don’t quite fit the categories of contemporary electronic music. Junk ambient, marginal acid… it’s a struggle to appropriately describe the sounds. Part of this difficulty comes from the artist’s (or artists’) purposefully self-effacing strategy, a circumventing of the systems that edify and circulate art based on identity, practice, and vision. Indeed, this is one of the reasons PL was strangely attracted to these recordings in the first place.


All eight of the individual pieces that make up jd swift are untitled, but are labelled with the time at which they start in the recording. The first track is titled 0:00. Does this hint at new beginnings, or a stance against time itself? If you find yourself on a coast, keep an eye out for a houseboat. Its occupants may know the answer.

SPIRALinggg welcomes Pent & Rogelio @ The Lot Radio 12 - 05 - 2021

Inspired by French sociologist Jean Baudrillard’s influential text “Simulacres et Simulation,” Aho Ssan’s debut Album “Simulacrum” plays with synthesis and simulation, picking apart notions of modulatable, subjective veneers of reality.

Aho Ssan is the artist name of Paris based producer & composer Niamké Désiré.
After studying graphic design and cinema, he began to compose electronic music and create his own digital instruments.
Informed by his experiences growing up while black in the French suburbs, Niamké, turns a critical gaze towards facades of inclusivity and equality, and how they diverge from lived experiences of discrimination and racism in France.

For Sonic Territories extended he teamed up with Nima Aghiani (9T Antiope): “This performance is an improvisation by Nima (Strings) & me around my album "Simulacrum". The first piece is a brand new work we did for the occasion. It's always a huge privilege to work with him. 9T Antiope is definitely one of my favorite bands.” - Aho Ssan

Extended #16 - AHO SSAN & 9T ANTIOPE

For Valentine's day offer her/him a noise and experimental podcast by Aho Ssan and if you are single or think Valentine is some capitalist bullshit, well turn it up anyway.

Aho Ssan (@ahossan) is the artist name of Paris based Niamké Désiré. After studying graphic design and cinema, he began to compose electronic music and create his own digital instruments. Shortly thereafter he went on to win the Foundation France television prize for his soundtrack to the film of Ingha Mago in 2015 and has worked on several projects related to IRCAM/GRM in France. His debut LP «Simulacrum» was released on the 7th of February 2020 via Subtext Recordings.
Based on the concept of Jean Baudrillard, it navigates through society’s presentation of inclusivity and equality against my own experience of growing up black in France. Aho Ssan debuted “Simulacrum” at Berlin Atonal 2019.

Taken from Zoë Mc Pherson (@zoemcpherson) new EP, Abyss Elixir, out March 15, 2022, via Pendulum Recordings (@pendulumrec)

Pre-order: https://bit.ly/3IaLzDa

For the label's second release, Pendulum Recordings presents Abyss Elixir, a 5 track EP from Berlin based French sound artist and producer Zoë Mc Pherson.

Abyss Elixir is an EP made to self-heal and with a transformative perspective. Using warm low frequencies, Mc Pherson creates a visceral atmosphere that is personal and contemplative, yet the listener is present. At times it feels so intimate that the listener wonders if they should even be there. Are they allowed to be there? Unlike a lot of Zoë Mc Pherson’s releases, there are no collaborations here.

In the artist’s own words:

“The overall tracks are meant for heavy sound systems that are able to hit your heart, but also to be played loud in your headphones while taking time for yourself. The whole EP is an elixir, made to mend, if you are able to allow that space and process what is happening. Whatever the mood, it is full acceptance, strengthening and developing your position, observing what is around you, its history and what changes, as well as what needs to change further.”

Mc Pherson opens the EP with “I Expect Nothing (Straight), a 12 minute moody composition with powerful vocals that are at times sultry and at other times maniacal. Singing “I Expect Nothing,” Mc Pherson’s vocals can quickly turn from soulful and enchanting to hysterically laughing from one moment to the next. The track has a natural groove as the journey builds and layers upon itself. While the entirety of Abyss Elixir is a narrative, “I Expect Nothing” is a composition within itself.

Over the 5 track EP Mc Pherson leads the listener on an introspective journey using dub rhythms, noise and experimental textures, and creeping sub bass. Playful beats juxtapose between moments of darkness and intensity. The EP concludes with the track “Bound To Spill,” a powerful closer that feels like a final purge. By the end, the listener is left to process their own journey and start anew.

Released by Pendulum Recordings

Premiere: Zoë Mc Pherson - Sub Town [Pendulum Recordings]

With a steady drip of releases from labels such as Great Circles, L.I.E.S., and Jack Dept., Philadephia-based M//R (Billy Werner) has carved out a uniquely penumbral club zone. Informed by a lifetime in various underground music spheres and sharpened by steady DJ gigs across the eastern US, 𝑨𝒏𝒙𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝑴𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 delivers Werner's deepest cuts to date. Heavy influence from classic dubs intersects with modern bass centric genres to deliver four tracks of floating pads and faveolatic percussion, simmering atop magmatic sub-bass rhythms. The center label reads "33-45 RPM" -- due to the analog nature of the recordings, it can be pitched down to languorous BPMs; every tempo and pitch offering new vistas for home listening or (hopefully soon) dancefloor revelations.
