fmvee - who do u love? (QUEESTE006)

05 sobbing

fmvee joins Queeste with who do u love?, an EP of fractious songs recorded over a tumultuous four-month period in Los Angeles. Having debuted in 2018 with a set of club contortions touching on jungle and 2-step, the US artist returns with a work of intense self-reflection. Lived experiences are transmuted into an amorphous bricolage of pummelling kicks, synthetic textures, and diaristic details, what they describe as an act of “remembrance.”

Working and living in LA, the “grind” alongside “aspirational partying,” and the confrontation of depression during an intense relationship, informs the EP on levels both sonic and thematic. The slippery rhythm and melodic stabs of ‘the way you see yourself’ embodies a state of flux, also recalling the early experiments of the LA beat scene. Distant jazz drumming fills its peaceful coda before ‘everythingUneverKnewUwanted’ introduces an echo lifted directly from the artist’s life: a trickling courtyard fountain. This first phase of the release finds resolution with ‘thewayothersseeyou,’ a conceptual mirror to its start, and one which carries a notable shift in tone; gleaming percussion has given way to ominous synths.

Despite the EP’s personal nature, collaboration is crucial. ‘Seed Perfuming (LoLo v665)’ is an fmvee original transformed into a cascading breakbeat by New York producer and engineer Loric Sih AKA LoLo, an ecstatic yet familiar form nestled amidst otherwise bruising encounters. ‘sobbing’ follows, a digital-age ballad of original lyrics exploring dependency: emotional, physical, and otherwise. It’s a poignant conclusion to an appropriately hallucinogenic collection, an intoxicating chemistry of love and loneliness conjured through a fine balance of bass, percussion, discord, and harmony.

On behalf of fmvee, a percentage of all profits will be donated to Baltimore Harm Reduction Coalition, a community-based organisation that mobilises community members for the health, dignity, and safety of people targeted by the war on drugs and anti sex-worker policies.

THE HIBERNATION SENTINEL

Philipp Zöhrer is interested in moments and atmospheres of collective ecstasy, in which a dancing audience gets into. Empty rooms, like those created everywhere by the corona epidemic, attract him equally. He takes us to the church ruin of Wachau at the outskirts of the city of Leipzig, where he is currently living. Exclusively for the Kunsthalle Darmstadt, the scenery is accompanied by a compilation of post-punk and wave music, whose melancholic and hypnotic sound takes you back to mythical times.

Curated and documented by Louis Baca and Johanna Weiß.

THE HIBERNATION SENTINEL

Philipp Zöhrer interessiert sich als Künstler für Momente und Atmosphären der kollektiven Ekstase, in die zum Beispiel ein tanzendes Publikum gerät. Menschenleere Räume, wie sie durch die Corona-Epidemie überall entstehen, ziehen ihn gleichermaßen an. Er nimmt uns mit in die Kirchenruine Wachau, die in seiner Wahlstadt Leipzig steht. Exklusiv für die Kunsthalle Darmstadt wird die Kulisse der Kirchenruine mit einer Compilation aus Post-Punk und Wave Musik untermalt, deren melancholischeu und hypnotischer Sound in mythisierte Zeiten zurückversetzt.

Kuratiert und dokumentiert von Louis Baca und Johanna Weiß.
