‘
There is grief, exultation and relief inherent in belonging to community. Re Munus reflects on the tone of deep gravity with which the re munisation of the de munised is unravelling. The generations which dismantled their social contract, achieved immunity, revoked solidarity.

Severe circumstances foment collectivity, suffering and empathy, interrupting the ethereal dream of social weightlessness. Re Munus sketches sensations and observations during a time of reorientation, rediscovery of lived sensibility on a relational scale. An encounter with sensations which we had said defined us—the tangibility of which we had forgotten, believed to be confined to the past. There is tension between the physical withdrawal and lived intensity which permeates these works.
’ Lugh

Personal drift. There is a multitude of presences guiding you through this record as a listener, not without their own doubts as to where they are leading you. A murky social space. Time-compressed club experiences within layered acoustic dimensions; consolidated, captured and played back into the same space. I am sitting in several rooms simultaneously. Death metal screams in an Animal Crossing world modelled on our own.

The choral rush of ‘Million Dollar Cowboy’ from Lugh’s Hélico EP (2018) re-appears again in ‘Braises’ and ‘Free Fall’, deeper and re-figured. Sometimes the record also haunts itself—each element heard having been through a process so long and many-staged, it’s as though it has already lived.

These compositions hold within them a flawed attempt to communicate on every level. The desire of language as expressed through music—towards shared meaning. Paradoxically voiced and voiceless, it denies textual, verbal description, instead crying out through the cracks in forming its own liquid tongue. Clone choirs simultaneously rehearse in an open space below. A slow walk through this spectacle. It’s an anguished record as much as it is at times tranquil. The movement between voices detached and embodied becomes playful—often warping them far beyond recognisability.

Beautiful artefacts. Stomach churns in the face of a burnt-out horizon. Cantering & sneezing. Air is driven into the corners and creases of a gold-plated, reverberant structure. The neural network claps to keep itself in time. Gutter Synthesis organ lament; tears of the duffing oscillators. There are moments on this release when tensely divergent fragments are barely held together. The prominent human voice mixing with the heavily re-sampled voice—it’s an incredible lift. Superimposed night and day. Sonic creatures living within the material, sharing time and space. Tenderness and together-ness.

The eighth release on katharsis is the EP “Something in Me Does Not Suffer” by the Detroit-based artist Infant. His earlier releases on labels such as Rest Now!, media_rins and WET illustrates the artist’s ethereal style of ambient and experimental music. With the title of this release drawing on the mysticism of the French philosopher Simone Weil, Infant takes us through a selection of astral soundscapes providing us with light for the spirit and nourishment for the soul.

Throughout the release, the listener is presented with long stretches of celestial pads accompanied by the ambience of nature and whispered words from the artist himself. He states the following about the EP: “It’s a collection of material produced in the midst of a deep quarantine-induced haze. Between working from home, making clothes, and spending lots of time in the woods, I produced these pieces, weaving together poetry, field recordings and mutated synthesis. There’s no conceptual underpinning, only a desire to reconcile myself with the state of things”.

Eartheater - Phoenix: La Petite Mort Édition 
Format: DL
Cat.No. PAN 112-R
Release Date: 26 February 2021
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/LaPetiteMort

Last year, Eartheater released her latest album, Phoenix: Flames Are Dew Upon My Skin, via PAN.Eartheater is now sharing a fully reworked version of the album, Phoenix: La Petite Mort Édition, out February 26, 2021 on PAN. Originally conceived as a “sleep” mix for CRACK Magazine, Eartheater re-sculpted her entire album Phoenix into a seamless ambient edit.“This is Phoenix crushing, undressing, and compressing like carbon particles under the weight of boulders folded into silky soil, and decomposing. She is folding over and over and over and over like the rolls of young gummy stone. This is one REM cycle. I suggest listening to Phoenix: La Petite Mort Édition while asleep after climax. You are wet ash smudged across a pillow case.” - Eartheater
