PSALM by Urszula Koziol
liberated from me you shan’t free yourself of me
while you’re in me I’ll keep repeating you it is enough to notice it for it to take possession. And it pays by remaining in the inadvertent host complementary exchange: a tree within us and us within the tree entrusted to endure multiplied leaf by leaves and divided by the word and separated by the flesh we find ‘it’ in what eyes...

The Object of Desire and the Totality of the Real...
1. The Object of Desire is the Universe, or the Totality of Being
Rather strangely, I describe what is hardest to comprehend, but at the same time it is the most familiar thing. Spectators of tragedies and readers of novels get the meaning of it without fully understanding it; and in their own way those who attend mass religiously do nothing but contemplate its essence. But if from the world of...

Manifesto in Clear Language by Antonin Artaud
If I believe neither in Evil nor in Good, if I feel such a strong inclination to destroy, if there is nothing in the order of principles to which I can reasonably accede, the underlying reason is in my flesh.
I destroy because for me everything that proceeds from reason is untrustworthy. I believe only in the evidence of what stirs my marrow, not in the evidence of what addresses itself to my...

On drone music by Bret Schneider
THE AESTHETIC EXPERIENCE OF DRONE MUSIC is not just aesthetically defined, but socially and historically located. The significance of this location is especially intriguing when concealed in a music legacy that aims exclusively at the pure presentation of sound, a music intent upon expelling all that is foreign to the aesthetic experience while underscoring a formal, perceptual physicality. As...

Ouisa Hound is featured on A New Band a Day.
Gloom Roaming is earthy, dense and ethereal: you’ll need to re-align how you listen – let it hit you in waves, rather than as a whole. Calmly cunning music.
Thanks Joe!

On Being Lyrical by Emil Cioran
Why can’t we stay closed up inside of ourselves? Why do we chase after expression and form, trying to deliver ourselves of our precious concern or “meanings,” desperately attempting to organize what is after all a rebellious and chaotic process? Wouldn’t it be more creative simply to surrender our inner fluidity without any intention of objectifying it, intimately and...

“Spiegel im Spiegel” by Arvo Pärt

Some kind words about "Copse Clad..." over at...
The sheer level of immersion felt whilst listening to Copse Clad… is unparalleled, and will hopefully go someway to rightfully cementing his name as a producer to really keep an eye out for.
Thanks Josh!
