Seems To Be Good

Playing music at the ocean, an infinite mirror curls upward towards you. Picturesque and perverse, cracked enamel castings sit in lazy but unsettled sands. Something is just right, having once stirred beneath the surface it now hovers misting at eye level. You can put your hand through it; pushing humidity around like a furry catkins flake in a tepid wind.

BAD LSD TRIPS is a collaboration between artists Domingo Castillo and doris dana. Working through the process of developing sounds during the pandemic, the duo amassed large swaths of recordings on a weekly basis from 2020 and 2021 in Miami, Florida. The debut recording of "bad LSD trips" for the ENXPL series is documentation of improvising and honing a sonic vocabulary that is rooted in the tradition of early industrial, dark ambient and tape music. The backdrop of the recorded effort is a geographical conundrum of a city worn threadbare by candied advertising, tourism, and aesthetics. BAD LSD TRIPS inverts the spectacle of their locale with psychedelic meditations searching for, and occasionally digging inside of, a place of ease.

bad lsd trips

bad lsd trips - Lavadora Levitando (ENXPL12)

Forest Kelley's debut album, 𝑆𝑖𝑙𝑡, is the culmination of a decade-long sonic realization of a singular vision: nematoda, annelida, and other abyssal worms inhabiting the aphotic depths, sensing each other without light. Living and cavorting amongst a carpet of compressed dust and organic matter, as unaware of our existence as we are of theirs. To create this 'soundscape ecology', Kelley began developing custom software in 2018. It allows for sounds to function as organisms: to be born, express themselves, change through friction with their world, and then dissipate, transcend, or die. 𝑆𝑖𝑙𝑡 represents a snapshot of this world; the raw material for this particular instance includes guitar-based recordings dating from 2004 in collaboration with Jacob Uretsky. Through Kelley's exacting and intuitive selection of the results, we are presented with an ever-evolving selection of sounds. On their surface perhaps intersecting with ambient dub techno tropes, but 𝑆𝑖𝑙𝑡 draws the listener ever deeper into the zone with its organically shifting textures and events.

"SILT" CASSETTE

ENXPL13 - FOREST KELLEY- SIDE B EXCERPT FROM "SILT"

Though recorded before the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022, Oleksandr Demianenko’s 𝐼𝑛 𝑀𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝑂𝑓... cassette very much serves as a meditation on the importance of preserving art, culture and roots at a time when war threatens to erase all of them. Dedicated to the memory of the late Olga Fedoseevna Sergeeva (1922-2002), a folk artist whose voice is featured in legendary director Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1983 film 𝑁𝑜𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑔ℎ𝑖𝑎, Demianenko immerses tape-looped snippets of Sergeeva’s singing - culled from field recordings made in her village - in layers of synthesizers and pedals. The result is an invocational auditory experience that, bridging the worlds of traditional folk music and modern ambient, coaxes Sergeeva’s spirit out of the past and into our tumultuous present. The fact that Demianenko used first-takes exclusively only intensifies the living presence already embedded in this striking music.

At the same time, 𝐼𝑛 𝑀𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝑂𝑓... contains deeply personal dimensions for Demianenko. “As a child, I spent a lot of time in my homeland. I often heard the folk singing of my grandmother and her friends,” he says. “To me, [this music] is also a fond memory of my childhood and adolescence in my native village in the forests of Ukraine.” So while the pieces certainly exude the aforementioned somberness, they’re also gently pastoral and heartening reminders of a homeland and Demianenko’s love for Ukraine.

ENXPL BANDCAMP $

ENXPL14 - OLEKSANDR DEMIANENKO - A2. SEGMENT 2

The mind can visit so many places yet staying in a single phisical space.The mind can smell the sea and the rocks. The mind can think of the stars so intensely that the eyes will be blinded by the light. The mind can picture the sand so vividly that the body will sink in it. The body doesn't really need to move to take the greatest of all walks.

Gifted Culture Collective comes back with an all Italian library release of uncomplicated language and beautiful dense mood. This sound is made of synthesizers, Fender Rhodes, 808 and bass, recorded in Amsterdam in a dreamy 420 afternoon of May 2018. In full Gifted Culture spirit , the music was improvised, anbd recorded at once, with addictional production such piano and noises added in post-production.

The Great Walk is a project born from a live session series recorded years ago at Amsterdam-based Italian music producer Marco
Antonio Spaventi aka MaSpaventi’s studio, together with bandmates Two Thou (Luca Murgia), Autre (Pietro Caprioglio) and Enrico
Demuro.
Remained for some time on the guys’ hard disks, these live sessions, now edited and developed into five beautiful tracks with a cosmic
feel, see the light of day thanks to the collaboration between Gifted Culture, label of the previously mentioned Two Thou and Autre, and
Simona Faraone’s New Interplanetary Melodies.
Side A of The Great Walk’s first Ep, which will be printed in a limited edition (100 copies) on cassette and digital, begins with Monk.intro
(A1), just over a minute of mystery-filled space ambient, while with Motor One (A2) the sensations become decidedly more disco, thanks
to Eric Demuro’s rolling bass, stellar synths and jazzy Rhodes that immediately take us back the golden years of the nu-disco period. Ooh
Aah (A3), a downtempo track with a Balearic feel, closes the side with its airy notes placidly supported by a delicious 808 beat.
Side B opens with the beautiful Coast II Coast (B1) shimmering and fresh house music, like an ice cream to be enjoyed on the beach,
perfect for the hot summer months to come, the cooling effect is guaranteed.
The Big Acting (B2) closes the second side and with it the collective’s first work: a sidereal journey that will take you into another
dimension, sound escapism as dark and deep as a starless night.
The graphic part of the project was designed by Two Thou while the evocative cover photo is courtesy of photographer Andrea Pugiotto.

"The Valley" is a photographic project that was born from music.
La Valle Della Luna, also known as “The Valley” is a place in Northern Sardinia where time does not exist, far from the cool and fancy beaches.
A large community of hippies living there gives color to this valley. The lights of spontaneous parties perfectly match with the light of the nearby Capotesta lighthouse.

PREMIERE : Gifted Culture Collective - Coast II Coast

Om Namah Shivaya is an offering to the world from friends and collaborators Atma, Mose and J.Pool. The main melody and lyrics were channeled through Atma supported by experiences with the spiritual leader Mooji. In his presence, she reconnected with the deep truth that beyond the individuality and thoughts that we identify with, we are pure consciousness. The intention is that by chanting this mantra, we open to more love and presence while feeling more connected to the divine and thus more deeply connected to the nature, to ourselves, and to the unity of all things.

Atma, Mose and J.Pool came together in Nicaragua as part of a music production retreat organized by the iconic Momentom Collective. Producers Mose and J.Pool were touched by the depth and beauty present in the raw emotion and love present in the music of Atma and were called to support the development of this song into its present form. It is a beautiful testament to honoring our strengths in support of our community to manifest something together that would not be possible alone. With music, and specifically mantra or any type of collective chanting, we have the opportunity to sing each other home. May this music bring you deeper connectivity and a sense of peace and unity.

This Disco Gecko Recordings episode features TOBY MARKS, and a mix of relaxing, uplifting music to float away on. Toby Marks is a recording artist, performer, producer and record label owner, best known for his eclectic global dance and chill-out music. Emerging from 1980’s acid house, he has gone on to record and perform worldwide as Banco de Gaia, fusing house, dub, prog rock, jazz and world music elements. More recently has developed a growing interest in electroacoustic composition and other areas of ambient electronic music. He is particularly interested in immersive sonic environments and the meeting point of deliberate and random composition. He is currently focussing on ambient works drawing on soundscape recordings from man and nature blended with simple but beautiful musical motifs. In performance he incorporates video imagery, generated live where possible, to create a truly engrossing and uplifting experience.

Three Drums (Four Tet Cover)

Jiyoung Wi is a multi-faceted artist from Seoul, Korea currently residing in The Hague, Netherlands. Jiyoung’s work can be situated within fictional literature, improvised music, field recording, and is interested in juxtaposing or disjointing these fields of practice through her sonic and literary methodologies. Jiyoung’s debut album 𝑨𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕 𝑨𝒍𝒍 𝑪𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒊𝒆𝒔, is a concise body of work that punctuates a beginning point to her work within the 12” LP format. The recording serves as one of the two releases concluding the three year sonic endeavor that is the ENXPL (Enmossed X Psychic Liberation) series. Having previously released recordings on compilations for labels like Mirae Arts, Eastern Nurseries, and Psychic Liberation, here Jiyoung hones a cinematic-like structure that exemplifies the biome within her craft. While presently Jiyoung is performing the systematic dismantling of a violin in her live improvisations paired with approachable boutique synthesizers, 𝑨𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕 𝑨𝒍𝒍 𝑪𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒊𝒆𝒔 is a pairing of the inimitable Korg MS-20 and field recordings staged or captured by Jiyoung in Seoul and Busan, South Korea.

With three scenes per side, Jiyoung walks us through different geographical and spatial intimacies. Public spaces and intimate conversations are obscured and reconstructed.
Glass elevators, an unknown hotel lobby piano recital, office toilet rants, window side night bus travels, and multiple languages interplay with staged and unstaged conversations to transmogrify themselves into a world of Jiyoung’s view. Money, sex, relationships, and cultural parameters are at once idiosyncratic as well as disorientingly familiar to the listener.

As an extension of the series coined by Jiyoung as “Sound Fiction”, the album feels crisp, pressurized, and at times funny, at other times melancholic. As language, space, and viewing perspective shift, Jiyoung’s succinct album invites the listener to an aural world uniquely of her own viewpoint. While collecting source material relying on the outside world (conversations, elders, the closing track featuring Sungeun Lee), we have a listening experience that deeply illustrates Jiyoung’s perspective. The disjointed experience of someone maneuvering internationally to further develop a practice is encapsulated brilliantly here by Jiyoung with 𝑨𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕 𝑨𝒍𝒍 𝑪𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒊𝒆𝒔. Alongside Makoto Oshiro’s 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒅, it is a perfect bookend to the ENXPL series.

Jiyoung Wi is a writer and musician based in Seoul and The Hague. She writes fiction in-between institutional and non-institutional contexts, and works with sounds in-between clubs and art museums. Her methodology involves building and breaking sonic narratives by arranging and re-contextualizing disparate sound sources ranging from field recordings to fragmented anonymous dialogue. She approaches sound and text as invisible experiences and phenomena, and is interested in the narrative symptoms that emerge when both are juxtaposed on the same axis. In a series entitled ‘Sound Fiction,’ she explores these symptoms operating within and without the art space. She has been co-organizing an experimental/leftfield listening event ‘Sorrow Club Seoul’ since 2019.

Makoto Oshiro, from Okinawa and now based in Berlin, has developed an artistic practice spanning sound, site installation, field recording, language, instrument design, and more for over a decade. His performances and installations have spanned the globe, regularly appearing in Japan, China, Taiwan, Germany, England, the US, and further - often collaborating with other artists, most recently with Nick Klein on the album 𝑺𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒅 released by the cult Italian label Superpang last year.

𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒅 documents four live and studio performances from 2020-2023 in Tokyo and Berlin, and marks Oshiro’s first solo album since 2014. Small electro-mechanical devices made by Oshiro, which he calls 𝘬𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪-𝘬𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘴, are coaxed into physically generating sound by rapidly opening and closing relays. The speed of the relays is controlled by Oshiro, producing a distinctive clicking (“𝘬𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪-𝘬𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪-𝘬𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪…”) at lower speeds - then bursting into squeals, squawks, and drones at their maximal activity, occasionally creating sympathetic harmonics with the surface they have been placed upon. Functioning as acoustic oscillators, numerous 𝘬𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪-𝘬𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘴 build a richly layered environment, approaching sonic phenomenon at its most fundamental aspects.

These recordings bridge installation and performance, machine and organism, abstract and physical, subconscious and rapture - especially on the title track 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒅, with over 40 minutes of densely unfolding square waves and their superpositions.

Listen loud, lay down, walk around, meditate, stretch, and wander through the void.

Makoto Oshiro is a Berlin-Tokyo based performer and artist. His primary medium is sound, but he also combines other elements including light, electricity and movement of objects. In live performances, he uses self-made tools and instruments that are based on electronic devices, every day materials, and junk. His installation work handles sound as a physical and auditory phenomenon, and focuses on characteristics such as vibration and interference.

He is also a member of the live installation / performance group The Great △(夏の大△) with Takahiro Kawaguchi and Satoshi Yashiro, and runs the label Basic Function.

Jiyoung Wi - Walking Tumor (ENXPL22)

When it comes to the underground of electronic music, there's not much Kirk Degiorgio hasn't seen or done. 30+ years in the game, Degiorgio has more than made his mark on the scene’s landscape, both as an esteemed DJ and also as an acclaimed producer with releases on the likes of Versatile Records, Ubiquityand B12. Cyphon Recordings draft in this true master of the craft for a three-track journey showcasing exactly why he's sustained the level he has for so long. A melodic richness and tactile makeup, whereby Kirk’s tracks more than move your limbs, but rather meld directly to your heart.
 
First up, a slice of soul-struck, deep house in the form of ‘All About U’. Poised yet powerful, iridescent arps layer upon sweeping pads and a bassline that locks you in from the off. Degiorgio holds the vocal refrain in the back pocket, letting it loose once he’s wrapped you up in the groove. 'Cidade Do Futuro' follows, a cosmic carnival, enticing dancers from the deep. Dynamic snare rolls marry with rising synths in mystical fashion, as Latin percussion molds around an acid-tinged bass. Together they create a tension that builds and breaks, rising to its next summit before descending once again into outer space.  Closing out the EP is‘Frayed Edge’. Sitting at the intersection between prog-leaning breakbeat and Detroit-flavoured techno, this grooved-laden, lunar transmission is one for late-night dancefloor lovers. 
 
In a sea of sterile, over produced new music, the ‘Living On The Frayed Edge EP’ stands out as a beacon of dynamism and versatility, showcasing Degiorgio’s inherent knack in being able to craft songs that speak of something deeper than simply dancing
