An ethical question pertaining to a particular practical situation—such as, "Should I eat this particular piece of chocolate cake?"—cannot be a meta-ethical question (rather, this is an applied ethical question). A meta-ethical question is abstract and relates to a wide range of more specific practical questions. For example, "Is it ever possible to have secure knowledge of what is right and wrong?" is a meta-ethical question.

Merph is Sarita Carol Herse, one of Sydney’s most innovative and exploratory DJ-producers. Since first emerging on the Australian scene over a year ago, her mixes, music and Apparent Motion show have become synonymous with the high-intensity sounds of drum & bass, jungle and dubstep, but Herse’s musical palette extends well beyond the constraints of the dancefloor.

Her Theory Therapy mix is proof of that. It retains the DJ’s deft ear for emotionally moving, immersive soundscapes but eschews the sounds of the club entirely. Compiled in the warm, inviting atmosphere of her best friend’s home in Canberra, her selections comprise of ambient, improvisational jazz, ethereal vocals and spoken word pieces.

As hinted at by the more introspective sounds she’s gravitated towards, Merph’s mix is a highly personal one. The DJ and producer has said that it follows her own experiences lately, from coping with isolation to having important but emotionally exhausting conversations about race and racism. “I’ve been processing a lot of rage and sadness about this, as well as confusion and shame about feeling the need to justify myself to people” she told us. Over 14 tracks, her selections masterfully convey these emotions. From the pensive sadness of ‘(Something)’ by Planning For Burial to the calming tones of Beverly Glenn-Copeland’s ‘Sunset Village’ to the inspiring and sublime ‘Scarlett’ by Frederik Valentin & Loke Rahbek, Theory Therapy 11 is a powerful, emotionally complex story we all ought to listen to. It can be soothing, dissonant, hopeful, restorative and inspiring, often all at once.
