Same Same - Kind Blue II

Emotional Response and Meda Fury Records are delighted to come together to present Sad City’s long waited debut LP.  After critically acclaimed EPs for Underwater Peoples and Phonica Special Editions, this stunning long player has been in gesgastion for years but arrives with perfect alacrity.

Northern Irish born, Glasgow based musician Gary Caruth has steadily been buildling a successful ouvere of releases from his 2011 debut Gestures EP to appearing on Emotional Response’s Schleißen series last Spring.  

Coming together across 9 tracks, but very much recorded as one listening experience, Shapes In Formation mixes a love of field recordings with deep ambient soundscapes atop incessant percussive loops.  The melancholic sonics bely ethereal tones that transport to that place where music and the silent reality of the world merges.  

Moving beyond his recent ambient explorations, side opener Rain points to something beyond, a swirling meld of vocal loops and rhythmic pulses that promise anew.   More follows in Pace (Movements I to IV) and Peoples Plants, taking the sonic exploration onwards, creating compositions of symphonic beauty that challenge the listener to travel on distant, tribal syncopation.

All this comes together with the rolling drum of Jam With Bettye.   A delicate balance of restrained percussion, hissing hats and the bliss of gospel Sundays create a tapestry that harks to Parrish’s Sound Signature as much to Cluster and Eno.   Finally, to end via Smoke, Water and Again, the album’s journey is shaped as a truly unique form(ation).

PRELUDE TO MUSIC FOR SELF ESTEEM (MSE)

This release is intended to introduce the title and positions that will be held by the audiovisual essay Music for Self Esteem, to be released in the summer of 2019. As the title suggests, the focus is to point all meaning towards the feedback loop between oneself and one’s opinion of oneself. 
It is this body of interactions that, in my opinion, create the basis for all art/music/creative work that is self-aware.

This prelude draws a very simple binary perspective (a line) of the system that will be presented in MSE: a reiterative non-spatial cycle of human conditions (an ever changing sphere considered as a point). 

RESTITUTION refers to the eternity of ideas, the ability of people to use and reuse their perceptions (of themselves and others), thus reforming identity and belonging from the ashes of contradictory social expectations. 

MOTHERHOOD refers to the godhood of all origin points, the body that creates the cycle in the first place, the only stable reference point in the chaos of reiterative restitution.

Attached below is an incomplete list of positions that will be both developed and criticized in MSE.

POSITIONS for MSE

1.
Auto Tune is the mask that this album is the body armor to

2.
I’m paranoid that nobody sees me as intentionally acting

3.
Emotion is a construct of the environment — a construct is made by the mind — emotion is thus both contingent on the mind and the environment, but the mind has more power. Maybe I’d be 50/50 on a given day

4.
Aesthetic recombinations are postmodern iterations of the first moment in which art was conceived

5.
Systems of power are considered to have formed “naturally” by those seeking to displace responsibility for their actions

6.
Loneliness isn’t the condition of modern humankind, it's a symptom of inherited survival instincts

7.
I don’t intend on believing that I will be written into history. I don’t think it’s my choice, and if it happens it won’t be because I want it to happen

8.
God is the summation of all interpretable distributed networks in all and any system(s)

9.
Every historicization only describes the visible. All concepts have existed since the beginning of humanity and only some of them make it to the books in each round of erasure

10.
Accelerationist observance of positive feedback loops is using a euphemism for “genocidal erasure.” Since I don’t like to think people are stupid I am compelled to believe that there is intentional evil in the ideological development of contemporary theory

11.
A spatial representation/conception of time is a constraint that demands a logical understanding of the universe

12.
Music for Self Esteem is the spiral of anti-logical usage of rhetoric. It is intended (ironically) to oppose Sophism and irony

Music For Self Esteem

bod [包家巷] - MOTHERHOOD [YGK004]

“Love Hypnosis” is a message.

It’s a narrative meant for personal empowerment; to become the person you want to be. I’ve conducted a few “Love Hypnosis” rituals as extended six hour sets broken into three segments that signal my intentions about love, body, and spirit. For this tape series, they will be shorter missives meant to build upon one another and show a growing idea of how music can explore the magic and actualization of ourselves.

The act of DJing itself is to cast a spell. Dance music as an art form that sends an immediate direct statement into one’s body. It can shift and evolve over time to reveal information, but first it will move you. This message is meant to move you both physically and emotionally. “Love is the fire I need”. I believe it’s what we all need these days. We’re here together. Nobody can stop us now.

A limited run of Love Hypnosis Vol. 1 cassettes are available now exclusively from the label’s Bandcamp and hi-resolution versions are available for download on the same page. 50% of the profits the mix will be donated to the Sylvia Rivera Law Project (SRLP), which works to guarantee that all people are free to self-determine their gender identity and expression, regardless of income or race, and without facing harassment, discrimination, or violence.
