NAGA returns for its second offering: Immortal Mirth by Seattle-based multidisciplinary artist enereph. The 5 original works on the release were formed out of her deep contemplation of concepts ranging from Chinese cultural symbology to physical materials and the weight of navigating the human world we’ve found ourselves in.

She brings these themes into the sonic realm by weaving together influences of ambient music, Chicago footwork, the UK hardcore continuum and beyond - never failing to place her own unique imprint on each piece. enereph’s talent for orchestrating a plethora of machines is on full display, with a number of tracks birthed out of her astounding live PA sets.

The curtains open with the escalating tension of “Talisman”, a twisting soundscape of glass, metal & otherworldly sound design permeated by guttural bass drones. A mesmerizing prelude for things to come.

“Carved Nephrite” moves into faster territory, building energy with clubby kicks, cinematic bass stabs and an ear-catching arp. enereph’s knack for arrangement manifests as the track deconstructs itself midway and rebuilds into a cavernous apex.

“Cold Family” keeps the pace up with a mechanistic take on the footwork and jungle sound. The track quickly morphs through a staggering onrush of breaks, bleeps and alien sound design suited to hypnotize dancefloors at peak hours.

The fourth track moves into more atmospheric territory with splintered drums and swells of sub bass wrapped in bending chords. “Insolubility” evokes visions of a fogged-out 90s warehouse rave, dripping in futurism despite its nods to the past.

The last original track in the EP is a weightless ambient piece entitled “Numbers Fall From Stars”. Echoic synth plucks take the foreground & unfold a story through subtle moments of harmony and dissonance.

Rounding things off is a remarkable remix of “Cold Family” by Looting, a seasoned producer of shapeshifting club & ambient music and a core member of the vibrant underground community in the Lekwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ territories of BC.

Anybody else prevented from accessing SC servers via VPN?  All of them are blocked for me.  This is the first time it happens to me in six or seven years of almost daily SoundCloud activity.  I use a VPN in SC because when I don't I get horrible delays that show up in many different ways.  The only explanation I have found is that somehow their security/identification system has flagged my IP address and introduced all kinds of speed bumps.  It makes the experience very unpleasant, irritating.

Why was Jonathan Bellot's account
[https://soundcloud.com/jonathanbellot] deleted?
...

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
Sorry Joe. =(

sometime in 2025:
I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.

Non-conformist electronic sound composer.

Sommelier of sonic disturbia.
