Premiere: Formal Method - Mind Benders [Periphylla]

Windmill, delayed drop
Spin the dried up dust
Foregather all pearls in the lyre
Loop in lively daffodils

Careless panoramas
Undertow, devour
Dash, sweep the thoroughfare
Echoed howls on louvers.

Garnering through and out, at the metaphysical intersection of the world, where harmoniously noisy flocks swiftly pass beyond divine blue air.

Japanese sound artist yolabmi delivered highly experimental musical visionary of modular buzz tones and atmospherics, approaching from harmoniums to high frequency stereo tones. 'Internal Resurrection' utilizes alleviative, yet extremely rousing soundworld captivated by sonic atmospheres.

Excerpt from SDSDS #3 now available as a cassette or digital via HOLD (US).

SDSDS#3 is the third iteration of the ongoing project Sistemes Dintre de Sistemes Dintre de Sistemes (Systems Inside Systems Inside Systems) by Ex Continent, previously presented as an installation / performance at Fase (L'Hospitalet, 2019) and Stedelijk Museum (NL, 2020) as part of Sonic Acts 2020. This version of the piece was presented as a performance / action during Rarefacció, a series of events organised by Sergi Botella for Hangar.org on May 27th, 2022 at Hangar Barcelona.

From the label:

"Periodically chilled, alien frequencies freeze to hold momentary concurrences. Quickly dissipating phantom voices emerge and transform into a collage of accelerated melodies, bashed apart by vague pulses and distant percussion. Obfuscating but also very clear, this recording provides a masterful display of technique and vision, requiring the listener to revisit often in order to remember they are no longer the same."

Recorded by Marc Ribera Valls.
Mastered by Jack Callahan in NYC.
Cover Photo by Violeta Mayoral.

Performers: Arnau Sala Saez, Huaqian Zhang and Ivan Zoloto.

SDSDS #3

Ex Continent — SDSDS #3 (Excerpt)

enmossed is pleased to present 𝑬𝑵𝑴𝑺, a new cassette series curated by artist and perfumer Daisy Paradise, Florian T M Zeisig, and Glyn Maier. Releases consist of pairing an artist’s album with a plant of their choice and feature an interview - spoken or written - connected to the chosen plant. RJM Vanderheyden realized the series design beautifully with UV-etched, and color-matched cassettes and cases made from recycled materials, drawing upon a collection of rare botanical illustrations.

In the works for over a year, we are delighted to debut the first album of the series from long-time enmossed associate Chaperone - 𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒇𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝑴𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒄, paired with chamomile and a chat between Daisy Paradise and Suzanne Belle Stone of Moon of Hyldemoer Herbals.

“Daisy Paradise tells us that when a plant is taken out of its comfort zone, its growth adapts to new and challenging conditions. Its properties change: they incorporate the difficulty and beauty of its foreign surroundings. Chaperone trawls the dusty grooves of bossa nova LPs, extracting forgotten melodies and re-contextualizing them into an indeterminate industrial churn. A boscagic echo rendered into a miniature plastic flower, partially submerged in a puddle alongside crumbling asphalt.

Suzanne Belle Stone reminds us that, while we obsess over the rare, we fail to honor and celebrate the gifts of the common - that’s why we tend to undermine the strength and the subtlety of the ever-present chamomile. Chaperone repeats a sound, looping it, making it common. An abundance of multiplicities that create a new temporality, helping us quiet our mind. Chamomile is quiet, chamomile listens. A flower that likes to grow in large groups, in community, surrounded by its own repetitions.

𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒇𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝑴𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒄 is a dense hive of loops spreading their subtleties and becoming common through the air, a rooting system weaving an all-enveloping sea of electric dust under which we listen, as in a dream, to the static effervescence of a swarm of chamomile seeds. Each of these seeds contains a tiny sun and a tiny moon. Plants come to you when you need them.”
- Marta Núñez Pouzols

PREMIERE : Le Matin (@cestlematin) - What Would We Do [LAN] (@lan-berlin)

With a name like “Le Matin” - French for “the morning” - one could be forgiven for expecting something mellow. Gritty drums are layered over revolving time signatures, taking inspiration from footwork, grime, hip hop and rave. Le Matin celebrates the power of a vocal sample, chopping, reconstructing, looping to infinity and re-emerging with momentary clarity before diving back into disarray. Claiming that “we can change the party”, or “I just took my first shot”, his sense of humour is as strong as his sense of rhythm. Noisy hits pan and shake from one side to the other, turning the body to butter, Le Matin is a master of deranged patterns. Simple yet effective, his latest release is sure to unhinge any joint.

susu laroche - washing touch off

Ecstatic is thrilled to announce Foreign Body, the latest release from Barcelona-based Dania Shihab, who crafts dreamlike transmissions into the evocative concept of the 'foreign body' in the context of forced migration and cultural loss. 

A tapestry of sounds and emotions, this work is a product of Dania's exploration of her experiences as an Iraqi-born individual who grew up in Tasmania, Australia, an island where her native culture was completely absent. The profound sense of longing for a homeland that has never truly been experienced reverberates throughout, with each track poignantly capturing the complexities of feeling like a stranger in one's own body and society. 

Inspired by her work as an emergency doctor, the artist delves into the idea of removing foreign bodies, and sees forced migrants as 'foreign bodies' within their adopted societies. This release serves as a window into the emotional displacement of forced migrants and the struggle for cultural identity. 

Foreign Body was written and recorded at home in Barcelona, using a 4-track tape recorder, vocal looping techniques, modular synthesis, and collaged samples of Iraqi musicians and poets from the post-Gulf War era into an amorphous cloud of magnetic drones and soft hypnogogic vocal textures to entrance the listener. 

An emotive and evocative release, Foreign Body weaves together sounds and stories to explore a universal human experience. It is a testament to the sublime power of music to communicate emotion.
