Angela from pure person press has kindly put together this mix entitled ‘Taipei Telenovela’. Paying tribute to the music of Lim Going, ‘a pure person’ was a welcome silver lining in 2020. You can find out more about that project through the inis:eto site. Below are some words from Angela to be read alongside the mix. Hope you enjoy. 

“I have lived in a Taipei Telenovela for the past 2 months. To my delight I have found that Mexico City and Taipei belong in the same dreamscape. It’s as if time has aged these two cities at a similar speed and now they mirror each other: in how the rain is soft but constant, in the morning steam of a food stall, and how nature makes its green and inescapable presence known. 

The first half of this mix is meant to heal. After a bad scooter accident in Oaxaca I was forced to revisit the lessons I learned in Taiwan: To be still. To accept. To feel it all and let it go. This mix features field recordings of grass, spiritual female vocals, and songs that remind you to breathe. 

The second half of this mix is meant to romance. You can’t escape music in Mexico City. A man, worn thin, will stand on a corner and sing a song so intimately you know it heals him. A mariachi band will find you soaked and hiding from rain and say: “This song’s for you guapa.” The DJ, after the bar has emptied, will play record after record of Mexican  love songs while you dance fanatically alone.  I’ve learned new lessons in Mexico City: To dance. To live passionately and nonsensically. To fight back. This mix features saxophones, desperate male vocals, and songs that remind you to love. 

I never got to say goodbye to Taiwan. I’ve never been able to say a true goodbye to anything that really mattered in life.  I’m so grateful for the space Taiwan and Mexico have generously allowed me. This mix is my hello and goodbye to both cities. Please breathe and dance through my Taipei Telenovela with me.”

I Won't Have To Think About You: Compiled by Bayu and Moopie

Ya Ya Choral - Waiting Time

The inaugural release for SWIMS, a new experimental-focused imprint of Cold Blow, who are releasing the LP alongside London label and NTS residents Kit Records.

French lifeguard and sonic artist Roméo Poirier’s long sold out debut tape finally gets a vinyl reissue. “Plage Arrière” is a deep sea meditation on a constellation of Greek beaches across three islands. Trumpets, echo-clicks and Harold Budd-esque shimmer piano whirl together on these seductive scapes, which recall the sub-aqeaous ambitions of Jürgen Müller or Jan Jelinek inspecting a coral reef. 

Like sand-caked postcards, or pieces of seaglass tumbled and re-engineered by their surroundings, each piece exists a keepsake from the song's namesake beach. 
These missives glide in and out of earshot, bustling like miniature engines, finely tuned and rhythmically confounding. They echo the factory sampling work of YMO on Technodelic: industrial but somehow good-natured, a symbiosis of machinery and wildlife - like an artificial reef or propeller blades smothered in algae.

Plage Arrière is Roméo’s second album this year following “Kystwerk”, where he joined forces with the Norwegian poet Lars Haga Raavand.

The album has been remastered for vinyl by Sam Annand of Esk. Building on its original artwork, the vinyl edition features new photography by Roméo himself.

Roméo Poirier: Plage Arrière ‎LP [KR22V/SWIM01]

It all began eight years ago with a copy of R. Murray Schafer’s The Tuning of the World found in a box in a cabin, deep within the Pacific coast rain forest. This catalyst provoked Scott Gailey to draw inspiration from the sublime environment that surrounds his home on the West Coast of British Columbia. This exact landscape had a profound effect years earlier on a group of composers centred around Schafer and Simon Fraser University, including Hildegard Westerkamp and Barry Truax, who banded together as the World Soundscape Project (WSP). Where the WSP was primarily interested in field recording as sound ecology - documenting, preserving, and archiving a changing landscape - Gailey explores the musicality of field recordings through various synthetic approaches, a way to access the ambiguous emotional content latent in the natural world. There is a subjectivity to Gailey’s work, and in that sense it has more in common with the sensual musique concrète of Luc Ferrari, or even the Fluxus tape works of Henning Christiansen, than with the WSP. Despite having roots in this well of thought, Polysensuality is undeniably modern, finding kinship with contemporary works by Sugai Ken, Visible Cloaks, and Meitei, while also dipping a toe in the sound pool created by Haruomi Hosono and Hiroshi Yoshimura. Gailey has previously explored this palette in his duo You’re Me with Yu Su, but here there is more space, more silence, greater extremes, and in this way it is more personal, like a soliloquy rather than a conversation.

Limited edition of 100 LPs & 50 cassettes with risograph paste-on artwork.

(BONUS) Me Ligo No (No drama)

Suzanne Ciani is a true electronic music pioneer. The five Grammy nominated Italian-American neoclassical composer is unquestionably one of the greatest minds that contemporary music has ever witnessed. After an incredible career spanning forty years, Ciani’s accomplishments have become a benchmark when discussing the origins of musical synthesis. For more than four decades she developed a body of work that transcends the music industry, composing for film, video games and famous advertising campaigns that have impacted popular culture.

On December 14, 2019, after six years of sound experimentation, Lapsus Festival bid farewell to Barcelona’s Centre for Contemporary Culture. Its final event was entitled 'A Sonic Womb' and was dedicated to the musical roots of the synthesizer, with Suzanne Ciani headlining on the night.

Ciani performed an exclusive show accompanied by her modular Buchla 200e synthesizer and enveloped in a specially designed multi-channel sound environment by Intorno Labs. It was a sonic voyage to the very heart of her beloved machine and a tribute to improvisation through an instrument that is said to possess its own soul. Suzanne described the night as ”an improvisation that I began using in the ’70s and continue to use now as raw material. Each performance based on this material has its own expression and one could liken it to jazz."

Lapsus Records is therefore extremely honoured to present 'A Sonic Womb: Live Buchla Performance at Lapsus', a unique live recording of this extra special concert. The album will be released mid September on Lapsus Records and can be pre-ordered now at www.lapsusrecords.cat.
