"When conceptual art really kicked off in the mid twentieth century, many of its protagonists were so determined to purge art of its decorative frilliness, they turned more and more towards words, or rather, lack thereof. The likes of Duchamp, Dalí, Breton, Reinhardt, each uncensored by the rational mind, made moves towards the absurd and the sublime, with varying degrees of success and failure alike.

In this piece, what one finds is the artist attempting to convey a number of things, and asking a number of questions of us as the listener; what do we seek in such art? In which ways are to be intellectually, spiritually and sexually fulfilled by its visceral and confrontational abandonment of conventions? Is it incongruous juxtaposition? Does it lead us as the audience to question ourselves as living breathing beings, our hopes and truths, and our benign tastes so often dictating our choice and free will?

The piece is a natural extension of surrealism, dadaism and indulgence, themselves often strange bedfellows. Elaborate and provocative in its execution, displaying a signature of insatiable curiosity, and leaving no stone unturned, it portrays the artist as a provocateur of postmodernism, mysticism, and decadence. It transgresses the elusive world of the subconscious more imaginatively than previous offerings. It's also a piece which stitches together the scraps of art and culture, politics and poetry, and science and exotica that could often be found in the Southport of the late-noughties and beyond. An extremely clever conceit; there could be any manner of things concealed within this record, but we as the listener will never know because as as soon as one opens the record, the art is destroyed, the value is lost, so we will never, ever find out.

One's most overriding sensation is that the piece feels like a shit-filled hand grenade which the artist has flung into our collective psyche. It is quite simply, a joke, and a very poor joke."

"I'm terrible when it comes to writing anything about the music I make, but I hope you enjoy the tunes as much as I enjoyed making them. Thanks to my dog Berry for reminding me to get out of the studio and take him for long walks and to my partner for supporting me by making gun fingers every time she entered the room"

SERA021: Satellite Era presents “Xtilde EP,” an accumulation of ethereal music by Sol Rosenthal, best known as Iris Ipsum. 

Broadcasting from somewhere deep in the noisy liveliness of Los Angeles, one may not expect to hear experimental electronic music met with lush, tranquil tones. The urban world feels confined to a snow globe at times, making it difficult to welcome foreign influences into its uniformity. It takes a more calculated approach to break these boundaries - thankfully we have recruited a rising star to help us persist.

At quite a young age compared to the sonic pioneers that move us, Iris Ipsum has already made a clear statement in our biosphere: they are bunkering down for the long run. Juggling music, visual art, and software design, they ensure to blend together and implement all of their crafts with each project. On the audio side, they are inspired by early electronic subgenres such as ambient, electronica, breakbeat, and everything in between. This curiosity led to their debut album “Pattern Language” landing on the esteemed Touched Music imprint last year. Sharing a platform with innovators such as Autechre, The Future Sound of London, and Plaid is an incredible feat, but their follow-up to the release flexes the potential for even more promising times ahead.

Since its conception, “Xtilde EP” was influenced by Iris Ipsum’s devotion to expanding in multiple mediums. Their visuals normally embody sculptures as a focal point, which also serves as a catalytic aspect of their sound practices. Utilizing field recordings and deep listening amidst the franticness of urban environments lays the foundation of their work; spending time in the California mountains and deserts capture the essence of what makes it unique. Tying two tangible realms together is their passion for creative coding - most of this project was produced using self-made Max for Live instruments and VST plugins.

“Xtilde EP” was continually written, building on a collective idea and meant to be enjoyed from start to finish. Though cohesive by nature, Iris Ipsum also allows the project to encapsulate different moods, rather than staying on a singular path. The EP begins on a high note with “Subspace,” an energetic jungle track that nicely fits bouncing drum breaks with a dazzling ambiance. “Loreti” slows the tempo down, introducing a change of pace for the rest of the project. From here, we are met by a clever contrast between pristine drum work that feels heavy yet clean, along with uplifting melodies and tonal vocal chops. This can be heard in “Voxi” and “Essa” with clear nods to trip-hop and electronica. The EP closes with its title track, slightly bringing the pace back up and adding more glitched-out sounds to the structure left by its predecessors.

A collective effort on all fronts, “Xtilde EP” is simply Iris Ipsum at their finest. Reminiscent of early 2000s video game soundtracks, the project brings worldbuilding to life in audible form. Having studied decades of fabled electronic music, we have no doubts that they will become a household name when discussing contemporary experimental artists for years to come.

Release Date: May 3rd, 2024
Info: Call it Footworkjungle! The hybrid bass music version of Chicago's dance music history of juke and footwork and the Bristol's jungle breakbeat has been coming to life across the globe for a decade now - and Arcane & Jon1st are contributing to it with their second EP on Defrostatica. While Bloodstone EP was an ad-lib-rich, all-out breakbeat assault, the UK duo went deeper on Waves EP, focusing on big emotions over sharp beats. Tears is the perfect floor opener, with a bouncy 808 giving way to a rumbling bassline in love with pads and amen breakbeats. Energy Drink Sponsorship Application is exactly what it says it is. Influenced by juke and tribal breakbeats, Escape Plan becomes more and more captivating. Waves is a cinematic breakbeat journey with the perfect hook.
