Taken from 'Fringe' LP/Download (E064, Ecstatic 03/09/2021)

A gorgeous swell of intimate soundscaping from Felisha Ledesma on this simmering stunner for Ecstatic, despatching two extended, richly absorbing pieces weft from everyday detritius; synths, strings, voicemail, found sounds - hitting a similar spot for us as Ulla’s diaristic 'inside means inside me’ but with a more defined play of sound-as-light that gently and memorably tugs at the earlobes and heartstrings. 

Exploring a music of presence and ultra subtle inference, ‘Fringe’ is the 2nd release by Ledesma, student of Berlin's estimable Universität der Künste, following from a debut for Enmossed x Psychic Liberation earlier this year. Using AMQR - a software synthesiser built by Ledesma together with Ess Mattisson - both pieces here shimmer with elusive timbres that occupy a realm that feels lost between worlds - neither electronic nor acoustic, but more a sort of observational sound that radiates togetherness and warmth. 

Operating at insightful levels of synaesthesia, Ledesma poetically turns ostensibly humdrum sources into clouds of smoke - emails, voicenotes, walking along the water, a poem attached to an email, walking alone in New York during lockdown, going for a swim at sunset in the desert - all turn into a smudge of memory. When ‘Beamsplitters’ opens with a tangible human presence - a voicemail from a friend - it startles with its earthly pull, eventually getting lost in a tangled spool of found sound leaving just a trace of iridescent, intimate reverie. 

On ‘Golden Mirror’ Felisha gently diffracts a lonesome guitar phrase into a humming thizz with a steeply uncanny ability to jog the memory in a similar way to how olfactory stimulus can conjure feelings of nostalgia. It’s a trick familiar from an emergent new realm of lower case composers creating something like submerged, small scale symphonies that work counter to notions of classical excess or anodyne ambient, instead focusing on microcosmic, highly peronalised sort of worldbuilding that’s impenetrable, yet somehow entirely open.

Speaking is a track from  Florian T M Zeisig's — ‘ZZZZZzzzzzz’, his second album until the date. Coming Out September 2019.

‘ZZZZZzzzzzz’ aims to translate spoken word and percussion-based ASMR recordings and performative videos into music. Using these binaural raw audio materials the project utilizes algorithmic synthesis, filtering, and vocoders to transform the material into immersive harmonic structures.

Strong, Calm, Slow

My mom ran away from her abusive household at 14, spending the next 6 years living and working in co-ops in Seattle, and then on Haight St. in San Francisco. Next was LA, where the classic rock and soul she was raised on partially made way for synth punk and hardcore street life. Although her naturally raucous hair was difficult to spike, she quickly found herself emblazoned with all other types of radical leftist insignia. This was directly before my inception, and the purple hair and piercings were very much present at my birth - and are still present today depending on which mood you catch her in. Having me did change her sonic output though, switching from the relentless screaming and harsh synth lines to what we have here - relatively softly-told stories about the very hard existence she leads. 
	I can’t listen to these songs without crying, which made me think maybe they are too personal to put up, but ultimately that’s selfish. These songs were sung to me my whole childhood, and the messages in them stuck. In a time of increased authoritarianism, poverty, and general hardship, calls to destroy government buildings, give the drugs away, and treat everyone with dignity are more important than ever. Anyway, hope you all enjoy some beautiful tracks by one of the toughest and kindest extraterrestrials to ever crash land on this rock. Love you mom.

Miles Away : Oi In Eupen Main Theme

Taken from Not Waving & Romance - Eyes Of Fate [E065, Ecstatic]
 
Not Waving combines with Romance on the free-floating grandeur of ‘Eyes Of Fate’ : nine tracks of mythological, Old Testament ambient.

The first new music from Not Waving since 2019 and the first pairing with label mate Romance 'Eyes Of Fate’ explores the fertile territory between secular and religious music that has long fascinated artists, allegories on the divine and existential bliss and terror in equal measure. 

From the curdled invocation of opener ‘I Bowed On My Knees’ to the enrapturing devotional of ‘While My Heart Still Beats’ to the final judgement of ‘Kneel For Mercy’, the album wrenches highly emotive textures utilising a blend of centuries-old chant styles and orchestration consisting of  chamber strings, tape loops and plangent processed sounds.
