In-Grave - D(YOU)MB 

Stay away
The danger
Coming close 

Sooner than
You think
I'm up
I'm at
The break 
Of post 

Stay away
The danger
Coming close 

Don't
Bring yo' ass
Ass around
Unless
You want a
Grave post 

Hat in yo' hand 

Tell yo' daddy 

The man 

Dug a grave 

In his name 

Hey
Digging graves
Until I
Hey
Digging 

Digging graves
Until I 

Hey
Digging graves
Until I
Digging graves
Until the day
I slip away 
From digging
Graves in life 

Digging your grave 

Digging your grave 

Digging
Your grave
Til I live
And I die 

Digging your grave



Stay away
The danger
Coming close 

Sooner than
You think
I'm up
I'm at
The break 
Of post 

Stay away
The danger
Coming close 

Don't
Bring yo' ass
Ass around
Unless
You want a
Grave post 

Digging your grave 

Digging your grave 

Dig 
In
Your
Grave
Til'
I
Live
And
I die
Digging your grave
Hey
Go on
Dig that grave 

Stay away
The danger
Coming close 

Sooner than
You think
I'm up
I'm at
The break 
Of post 

Stay away
The danger
Coming close 

Don't
Bring yo' ass
Ass around
Unless
You want a
Grave post 

Digging your grave 

Digging your grave 

Best stay away
Til' I dig 
In your grave 

Danger close
I'm digging
Graves of life 

Digging your grave 

Digging your grave 

Go on
Dig that grave 

Dig in yo' grave 

Ah ha ha ha ha ha


In-Grave

Toiret Status is Isamu Yorichika from Yamaguchi, Japan. His new work Otohime is his first vinyl record and his second album on Orange Milk following ◎omaru◎ in 2016. Otohime includes collaborations with Co La, and Yoshitaka Hikawa. He has also released music on the labels Noumenal Loom, Plus 100 Records, Pedicure Records, Wasabi Tapes, and Slagwerk.

Isamu began making music as a drummer for noise and hardcore bands which led to his first solo recordings in 2015. As Toiret Status he has said that he wants to create work resembling the idea of food going through digestion, excretion, and then flushing. This cycle is like the regurgitation of sounds sampled from his daily life: movies, video games, and field recordings. The sources are digested and then flushed back out as a different color.

I watched a Toiret Status performance in Fukuoka Japan in a shrine on top of a sumo ring. The show promoters were serving Japanese BBQ (Yakiniku / Yakitori) with a distinct common Japanese BBQ sauce and Heinz yellow mustard, and it was possibly some of the best food I have ever had. While I was eating I watched Isamu aggressively move around the sumo rink using a nintendo controller as a midi device, triggering intense bursts of sound. The first two steps in his goal - consumption and digestion - were happening to me when I first met him. The dedication Japanese people often display in art was also apparent while watching his performance; it felt like a congealing of "Japanese-ness" with the sumo rink, shrine, food, joyful and absurd music all meshing together in a quick burst.


Isamu’s new Toiret Status record Otohime is named after a fairy tale queen (with magical powers?) who lives undersea and entertains travelers by giving out gifts like jewelry. In Japanese this title could be an apt pun for - sound queen. However, Isamu stated that the title is a wishful statement about how his music would be utilized in the future. When people flush a toilet, he hopes his music might play and become a funny reminder of the Japanese emphasis on politeness and social tact. He likes the idea of turning something awkward into something fun. Toiret Status uses romaji (English letters written in Japanese phonetics to describe a foreign or new idea that is not in the Japanese tradition) for his album title, to hint at a pun and imply the desired function of the music while simultaneously alluding to Japanese folklore - a queen who makes music.

Spirit Theatre #37 - サイキック魂 (Haretsu, September 2020)

Artist: galen tipton
Album: Ungoliant
Format: Cassette / Digital
Release: Oct. 30 2020

Pre-Order: https://orangemilkrecords.bandcamp.com/album/ungoliant

what started as nearly an albums worth of leftovers from fake meat quickly mutated into the pulsing, spitting, fleshy mass that is ungoliant 
 
drawing on many of the same influences, ungoliant doubles down on meaty soundscapes and the playful darkness only found occasionally on the sister album. the attention to detail and dense production is still here, almost to a monstrous degree, but focusing much more on a dark fantasy atmosphere taking musical and visual cues from the elder scrolls, the works of tolkien, and the dark crystal

while fake meat was a sleepover ungoliant is the scary stories u tell to each other to stay awake, and the restless nights that follow. evil but playful, never true danger outside of the mind. a tender malleable fear

the dramatic habitats of ungoliant find solace and truth in the catharsis of darkness, mystery, mist, the grotesque, big emotions 
in the blurred veils between life, death, fear, trauma and fantasy 
in spells and enchantments of nostalgia growing from the deepest strangest parts of ourself

finding clarity thru muck of escapism
and emerald colored memories 
hypnagogic logic & ancient mysteries caked in filth 
 
ungoliant the sound of all of this being dumped from your minds trash bin into the void
 
"Then the Unlight of Ungoliant rose up even to the roots of the trees, and Melkor sprang upon the mound; and with his black spear he smote each Tree to its core, wounded them deep, and their sap poured forth as it were their blood, and was spilled upon the ground. But Ungoliant sucked it up, and going then from Tree to Tree she set her black beak to their wounds, till they were drained; and the poison of Death that was in her went into their tissues and withered them, root, branch, and leaf; and they died. And still she thirsted, and going to the Wells of Varda she drank them dry; but Ungoliant belched forth black vapours as she drank, and swelled to a shape so vast and hideous that Melkor was afraid."
 
"Of the fate of Ungoliant, no tale tells. Yet some have said that she ended long ago, when in her uttermost famine she devoured herself at last."

DJ: MANAPOOL @manap00l
Mix title: LASTING JUDGEMENT

Q&A with MANAPOOL:

1. What inspires you to mix/make music?
Video games and my personal experiences surrounding them play a huge role in the ‘worlds’ I strive to create/transport listeners to in my music and mixes. I feel emotions really sharply, and try to portray those experiences/memories. All of my friends and contemporaries inspire me everyday, possibly more than my own experience.

2. How has 2020 changed your relationship to music?
No IRL Shows first and foremost. Both with my music, and the music I enjoy, I've found myself diving deeper into more emotionally dense projects, rather than listening to/making rave centric releases.

Slagwerk operates as a platform primarily focussing on contemporary music and art. The events which ranged from intimate settings to outright club nights have always aimed for the intersection of sound and scenography and presented a wide range of significant artists such as Amnesia Scanner, Oli XL, Aïsha Devi, Lee Gamble, Varg2™, Rabit, Abyss X, M.E.S.H. and many others. Besides organizing events, they present themselves as a music label. Their aesthetic ranges from metamodern internetculture to endeavours into spiritual ambiences contaminated with strikingly dynamic club environments. Striving for an eclectic body of work is the main intention.
