Hell or High Water

“[....]
This record highlights the Secret Boyfriend that obscures didacticism by highlighting output that opens up for more challenging catharsis and emotive signal processing. It provides an entry to the materialism of a cultural field full of ecstatic complexity and beautiful inconsistency. In these muted moments Secret Boyfriend has given us over his career we have an argument for evolving languages that further challenge our notions of what is supposed to happen and how it is supposed to be presented. In his more song oriented expansiveness, we can punctuate the ability to think in new modalities. Listening to these recordings reminds me of the polarity of sitting in the record store as a kid and understanding that His Name Is Alive is on 4AD and (gasp!) timeSTEREO. This trite early impression that nothing is really as different as our imaginations might want them to be, and that we can do whatever we want mostly within the creative realms we work through is an important filter to look through Secret Boyfriend as a project and a vessel. If we can achieve abandon and vulnerability through our artistic endeavors, then we have a sound model for, 𝗺𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗲, new potentialities. If that’s too much projection, or just complete liberal bullshit, I am fine with that. Secret Boyfriend's oeuvre at best offers us moments of reprieve to ponder these complexities, or at least a moment to zone out on a drive through North Carolina Highway 54.

You have one pocket of life that you must do whatever you want to inside of. Secret Boyfriend does it affectionately, in a variety of forms, and always with deep sentimentality. These recordings are a wonderful set of songs to begin further investigation from. Thank you Ryan for allowing as many avenues as possible to continue a broad cultural exchange and conversation that intersect and refract while being the kind of artist that is brave enough to not phone in the effort.”

Hugo Esquinca offers his debut album format release, DOCUMENTO_UNO, for Psychic Liberation stating:

“DOCUMENTO_UNO [2014-2024] is a -mis-selection of bastardized personal archival material containing actions, installations, induced DSP corruption, after-hours field recordings and direct documentation of audio equipment degradation. With the intention to dispose rather than preserve, all files utilized for the production of this CD have been permanently deleted after usage.”

Copious libations and long, long walks around metropolitan sprawl are part of the process material that cultivate the contained audio within DOCUMENTO_UNO. Esquinca posits a formal conundrum, skewing the perceptual intake of the organic and inorganic aurality in a collaged twenty-nine minutes and thirty-nine seconds of Esquinca’s auto-documentarian efforts. Something about weighted city environments, places like Mexico City or Berlin or Glasgow, and how they interrelate with weather extremities, finances, alcohol, and one's personhood are embedded in DOCUMENTO_UNO. At the end of the day, you are not at home.

Esquinca is known for large scale audio works that take on the extremity of amplification to incite situations and circumstances that become ruminations on what is impenetrable or absent* yet consequently disruptive**. For DOCUMENTO_UNO a similar through line to materiality and ephemeral outcome is observed. The pushing of a recording device to its furthest capabilities and the harmonic damages that follow through as a result. The unwavering compositional directive to keep finding the threshold of the audio space, first in capturing from life and then later from processing and arranging. This is Esquincas first album effort.

The truth is that Esquinca is exhausted by Sound and its orbiting cultural sphere. His multifaceted work as an artist, researcher, and writer continually exhibits a perspective in extremity that manifests a perspective a politer audience recoils in facing. Esquinca though is no brute, nor looking for cheap tactics to elicit canonized pearl-clutching responses to the vulgarity of our times. DOCUMENTO_UNO complexly collages confrontation in formal, mechanistic, or actionable methods to unsettle your stereo and effectively not save your world.

In many ways, this release is a family affair for Esquinca. DOCUMENTO_UNO is the result of many nights of long talks and beverage consumption with friend and collaborator Nick Klein. Additionally, a selection of the original source material has been remixed by Russell Haswell, a longtime collaborator and friend of Esquinca.


* See works done at EMPAC in Troy, New York, where an entire auditorium's multi-channel sound system was played at maximum volume after hours with no one allowed in the building, leaving only the vibratory sensation of the architecture to speak to the idea of absence for the viewer.
** See Esquincas latest work, as part of a festival dedicated to Alvin Lucier, where the artist reinterprets Luciers “Sound On Paper”. Here Esquinca trades paper for architectural glass, focusing thousands of watts of amplification onto the glass to more caustically illustrate Luciers paper observations.

"The aquatic is a concentric point of reflection within the latest release for Enmossed, procured as the split pairing of compositions by Finnish artists Kati Roover and J Koho. Both artists cull medial studies, collaborative processes, field recording, and geographically informed identitarian positionings in the audio works cultivated for cassette. Kati Roover’s aphotic meditations span across one side of the cassette, chiefly mirroring reflections on her Izhorian heritage, hydrofeminism thinking, and whale song captures. For the other side of the cassette, J Koho takes frameworks from Sound Studies paradigms to apply within his processed field recording efforts. Here, both artists service the latest edition of Enmossed’s ENMS catalog with mediated field recordings and sculpted isolatory liquidity formalism. Somewhere inside, the listener can be positioned enveloped in the dewy, aqueous sonorous realm of these two Finnish composers."

- Nick Klein

Kati Roover is a Helsinki-based, multidisciplinary artist. Her practice spans across the mediums of moving image, sound, photography, text and installations, draws upon and addresses a broad range of topics that are connected - from human, place and elemental interactions, mythopoetics, animisms and hydrofeminism, to the natural sciences and ecology.

J. Koho works extensively with sound and acts in many different roles in the field of sound art. Koho’s listening based artistic practice combines the methods, techniques and theories of acoustic, concrete, electronic, electroacoustic music and improvisation and simultaneously looks for meaningful and more sustainable ways to keep on working in this often technology-oriented and resource-intensive field.
