Weirdly Wired

William Selman’s latest release on his label Critique of Everyday Life co-managed by Chris Miller (aka Gunnar Haslam, Emile Zener) is a slow, sparse unfolding. Forming a kind of enigmatic triptych that evolves, breathes and retreats over the course of 45 minutes, these three arrangements are capable of standing on their own, or working together as a brilliant summation of parts. Intensely cinematic but not overly lush, Saccades finds its power through a meticulous, purposeful construction. 

The term “saccades” actually refers to involuntary rapid eye fixations the eyes make while taking in an image. Selman says, “this constant motion and tracking, trying to make sense of a scene is a metaphor for my inability to focus on anything over the last year. I wanted to make music that structurally broke up itself into episodes that shifted from one similar idea to another, but not directly—instead they shift by fading in and out.” This concept translates well to the sonic result; part of why Saccades is compelling has to do with Selman’s ability to make room for negative space. Silence is an integral part of these arrangements, which lends to a storytelling sensibility. Ongoing tension between the active and passive principles—a moving forward, a stepping back, creating, destroying, yielding—creates hyper visceral tension and almost feels like an affront to our capitalistic, hyper-productive conditioning. 

Each of these three pieces hover around the 14-minute mark, becoming mini universes within themselves. The opening arrangement—the title track—is suspenseful, mysterious, eerie, and wonderfully atmospheric. “Ghost Strata” is filled with field recordings and Selman’s exceptional sound design is apparent throughout: shakers appear in one ear and move around the head, satisfying the senses. Every small sound is made massive, for even the tiniest sounds bounce against the quiet, strengthening their potency. The third and final arrangement feels as if it’s starting in medias res; tension is continued straight away with discordant, metallic tones. However, this tension is dispelled more swi ly than in the previous two compositions; in fact, “Waking Tracing” is a departure from the other tracks, in that it draws more from the natural world. A single field recording acts as the foundation of the piece, upon which Selman overlaid other recordings and sounds to generate a sense of both direct and associative
memories. Hyper natural textures are threaded into an off-kilter atmosphere, inciting contemplation of Nature vs. Machine, or the destruction of the natural as it interplays with the unnatural. But the piece keeps moving, albeit non-linearly, until something is transmuted. Saccades ends how it began: wavering between two zones: one tense and disorienting, one meditative and purposeful. But Selman doesn’t leave us hanging—the release completes itself intentionally, and makes for a deeply rewarding listen.

Dissociated w/ Lady Prowl - June 2025

The night had turned cold by the time Camu began, but inside La Cabaña, everything felt suspended: warm light, still bodies, a low hum stretching through wood and pine. People settled into corners, wrapped in layers, quieted by the vibration that marked the start. The music felt transmitted, its slow-moving drones drifting through the wooden walls and into the forest beyond. The sound rolled out like fog under moonlight, patient, opaque, its motion too subtle to measure. It was music to dissolve into.
Minutes became air. The cabin started to tremble. Camu’s sense of space was uncanny, each drone a line drawn in mist, each pause a small release of gravity. Later came the fragments: field recordings, faint acapellas, echoes of the forest replayed from another world. By then, the cabin no longer felt grounded. It was a stationary vessel, hovering somewhere between the trees and the stars, surrounded by invisible energy. Somewhere, just beyond the clearing, Pablo’s bass murmured like thunder in a parallel world. When silence finally returned, it wasn’t emptiness; it was the echo of what had passed through.

Delayed x Perpendicular: Camu

“narratively, it explores this shifting state of being within a period of my life that is defined by change, and how change is not necessarily linear when you look at it up close. i am trying to reckon with the idea of change starting as a small tinder, which then gradually grows into a fire, fire symbolizing transformation, like in eastern medicine.” - mui mui 

we’re back in new york this week to spotlight the brilliant dj, promoter & dancer mui mui. the promotor behind the techno casa parties (‘but not limited to techno by any means’ she says), mui mui has hosted residencies on noods radio and hong kong community radio where she’s been able to showcase the full scope of her sounds from the club to the home or digging deep into different narratives such as “something silly like a computer gaining sentience, or a dog getting lost and finding its way back home, but there’s always a beginning, middle, and end.” describing herself as ‘spiritually from bristol’, mui mui’s sound is influenced by the likes of hessle audio, the klf, autechre, mary anne hobbs, the ogs from detroit and many more. this diversity in inspiration is channeled throughout her mixes ~ on this occasion she steps away from the 140 sound she’s been playing a lot recently to dive into the 90-95 bpm wormhole.

Sundays, for me—no matter what's planned or how beautiful—always carry an underlying sadness. A kind of hopeful melancholy. Sundays are when the medicinal, healing properties of music are at their most potent, and I find myself gravitating toward gentler, more emotional sounds to help calm a wandering mind.

Thank you to all the music makers for taking such good care of us. <3
