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, with an interest 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, windowside 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.

Jiyoung Wi - Walking Tumor (ENXPL22)

Summer 2023: I have a dream where I am looking out at the vastness of the ocean and notice something on the horizon. I don't remember if I am traveling on a boat or just floating over the water, but I go straight towards the mass. As I get closer, a forest of drowned trees begins to emerge. The ocean is deep here, it's like an extremely deep swamp or estuary. I immerse myself into the forest of limbs and begin to feel that the sticks are similar to gravestones; a graveyard. 

"I've seen you before" is song written in reference to the dream, but before I found this picture in a family photo album. Not only does the picture almost perfectly mirror what I saw in my dream, but its qualities are outstanding in that it is red (no other picture in the piles of photos had this degraded hue) and the location is undefined (no writing or indication of where this boat is / the photos that were with it did not give any reference to it).

Metalcore Remembrance

"SOUNDS4RESISTANCE is a solidarity fundraising project joining efforts between musicians, creatives, and listeners to provide not only regular monetary help to diaspora communities who’ve been violently repressed in the past 5 months but also funds for local collectives in the active front calling for an immediate cease-fire.

Music alone might not save the world but it does bring us together: in the streets, at the dance floor, in communities, in ways of listening to one another, in breaking societal norms.

All profits of S4R001 are followed to Estafette4Palestine, a militant, volunteer-based collective in Brussels that distributes funds between 50 Gazan families living in Brussels; and Fondation Marius Jacob : a radical, autonomous and collective tool that supports grassroots actions, together with BrusselsAgainstGenocide"

Noise and Cries

honoured to announce 'yearn' the debut ep from Kulowo Wawega, digital available on bandcamp

https://ssair.bandcamp.com/album/yearn

–

Kulowo Wawega has hidden experiments in sound across the internet since 2009. Tucked away across platforms and under a handful of aliases (the tares, no debts, esuna), Wawega’s music glimmers like an aluminum candy wrapper pressed into the pavement–worn in by passersby, but treasured by whoever finally stops to scratch at it, squinting as the sun glares off its edges. Yearn–the first EP under the name Kulowo Wawega–finds grace in the daily struggles, sacrifices and surrenders of the human experience.

yearn collects sounds from 2017 to 2023, spanning Wawega’s wide influences in worship music, minimal dubstep, drone, slow core, and RnB, and finds parallels in the revisited rhythms of the work and field songs of enslaved people. While yearn is particular to its maker in style–each delicate loop, spattered piano key, and granular shift in texture, is a marker of Wawega’s practiced ear–yearn longs for something unspecific and unresolved. The struggle towards desire becomes its resolution and the cycle repeats.

“I’m not in a rush. I’m not in a hurry. I’m there to be with whatever people are experiencing, and to watch the newness come forth after going through the mundane, the menial, and the suffering.

Words by Alphonse F.
