"I don't do many mixes, quite rare, it will have my influences, saving most new material for my next record but there will be some new stuff of course." - Triad God

Triad God is the nom de guerre of London-based rapper Vinh Soi Ngan. If you’re a fan, you know his output is minimal, so it’s all the more exciting that he made a mix for Sharp FM with some extra love from producer Palmistry. This is a wild one, moving from 90s Hong Kong pop to remixes of contemporary K-pop, gayageum instrumentals, and bits and clips from the world of gangster cinema: Andrew Lau's Young & Dangerous, Takeshi Kitano's Sonatine, Guy Ritchie's Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels. Triad does not disappoint and also includes edits of old songs and some brand-new material.

When we asked for a track list, the response was: "Track list is 黑社會", and the poem he sent instead was unexpected but beautiful and true to his unique voice: https://shrptyp.co/triad

010: Triad God feat. Palmistry

FUJI||||||||||TA, MMM, LP
Hallow Ground
Vinyl / digital, catalogue nr. HG2403
Ltd. purple vinyl / digital
Release date 18. April 2024

FUJI||||||||||TA returns to Hallow Ground with his second full-length for the Swiss label after it had released his international breakthrough album »iki« in early 2020. Active since 2006, the Japanese composer and sound artist has become prolific since the release of »iki,« releasing a slew of records while also touring the world. His new album »MMM« is Yosuke Fujita’s most complex so far. Changing the set-up of his pipe organ by switching to an electric air pump allowed him to activate new sonic and compositional potentials of the instrument, while he also expanded upon his experiments with his own voice. »MMM« is a masterpiece of conceptual and formal rigour—a testament to how multi-layered and versatile the music of FUJI||||||||||TA can be. 

Previous releases had already showcased Fujita's interest in working with the rhythmic potentials of the organ he built himself in 2009. Replacing its hand-operated air pump with an electric one allowed him to work with it more freely and simultaneously record its sounds. This marked the starting point for the opener »M-1,« for which he recorded the pipes by waving a gun microphone close to it, thus creating shifting rhythmic patterns. The piece engages in a perpetual play of repetition and difference, balancing sonic intensity with compositional dramaturgy. For »M-2,« the artist uses his voice and works with a singing technique he has developed over more than a decade: constantly exhaling and inhaling, he puts a strain on his internal organs in order to create what he calls a »third voice.« The resulting piece is built on a throbbing rhythmic foundation topped by wordless melodies.

»M-3« closes the album as a synthesis of these two pieces, but is far more than the mere sum of its parts. The subtle tonal shifts of the organ take on a more subdued role this time, and Fujita’s scat growling and singing reappears in processed form. »M-3« combines the rhythms and melodies of the previous pieces to let something entirely new emerge out of them, much like the album is based on perpetual changes and recombinatory strategies. In fact, Fujita explains, the acronymic title can be read in many ways: this album is minimalistic, but freely mixes and mingles different materials in magical and even metaphorical ways while also paying its dues to his wife and daughter—M. and M. Just like its title can mean a lot of different things, »MMM« itself is ever-evolving, traversing different moods and opening itself up to a plethora of interpretations at each of its many turns.

FUJI||||||||||TA  -  M-3

This piece (still untitled) was originally created for sound baths.  I did three live sets of this (all intimate, family and friends affairs out in the woods), during which I would use objects found on site to create additional sounds in the moment.  I would then record these sounds and mix them into the base track, so that it organically grew with each iteration.  

This track works relatively well for a sound bath, but many of the piano parts are too short for that experience, so ultimately I decided to just treat this as a recorded piece, which is what we have here.

All sounds were recorded on my phone and mixed in GarageBand (low cost!).  The piano parts are all recorded at my in-laws, where my father in-law is none too fond of my playing, so I have to run to the piano in rare opportunities, write something, and record it immediately.  The found-sound bits are things I pick up around Brooklyn.  The city is full of strange, unexplained sounds.  “What is that weird drone tone in the distance?” “Where is that scraping coming from?”

As my family has grown (2 kids) and my job stays busy, I’ve had to find new ways to create that work with my changing life, and this is very much a reflection of that new place.

The new self-titled release by Feeling Flying is from Andrew Thomas and Bevan Smith, a collaboration of two like-minded musicians, focused on improvisation, experimentation and minimal sound that allowed them to create a unique expression deep within the process and to explore dynamic and ever-evolving compositions. The end results are an organic and continuous musical dialogue of sonic, interpretive landscapes.

Feeling Flying is released on CD and limited to 50 copies, they each feature vintage linen book covers and each issue is individually constructed with hand-cut collages and mixed-media artworks, and each copy is hand-numbered and packed inside glassine bags. Feeling Flying is released by Handstitched* on March 15th [pre-order now up]
