Jiyoung Wi // Accept All Cookies LP

韓国出身オランダ在住の実験音楽家Jiyoung Wiが、2024年1月にアメリカ／ドイツの実験／ダンスレーベルENXPL（Enmossed X Psychic Liberation）から125部限定でリリースしたレコードです。

物音コラージュ〜コラージュ・ノイズ6曲を収録。DLコード付属。

以下、レーベルによる解説です。

Jiyoung Wiはソウルとハーグを拠点に活動するライター／ミュージシャンである。制度と非制度の狭間でフィクションを書き、クラブと美術館の狭間でサウンドを扱う。彼女の方法論は、フィールドレコーディングから断片化された匿名の対話に至るまで、異質な音源をアレンジし、再文脈化することで、音の物語を構築し壊すことにある。音とテキストを目に見えない経験や現象として捉え、両者が同じ軸上に並置されたときに現れる物語の症状に関心を寄せる。「サウンドフィクション」と題されたシリーズでは、アート空間の内外で作用するこれらの症状を探求している。2019年より実験的／レフトフィールドなリスニング・イベント「Sorrow Club Seoul」を共同主催。

Enmossed:

"Jiyoung Wi is a multi-faceted artist from Seoul, Korea currently residing in The Hague, Netherlands. Jiyoung’s work can be situated within fictional literature, improvised music, field recording, with an interest in juxtaposing or disjointing these fields of practice through her sonic and literary methodologies. Jiyoung’s debut album 𝑨𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕 𝑨𝒍𝒍 𝑪𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒊𝒆𝒔, is a concise body of work that punctuates a beginning point to her work within the 12” LP format. The recording serves as one of the two releases concluding the three year sonic endeavor that is the ENXPL (Enmossed X Psychic Liberation) series.

Having previously released recordings on compilations for labels like Mirae Arts, Eastern Nurseries, and Psychic Liberation, here Jiyoung hones a cinematic-like structure that exemplifies the biome within her craft. While presently Jiyoung is performing the systematic dismantling of a violin in her live improvisations paired with approachable boutique synthesizers, 𝑨𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕 𝑨𝒍𝒍 𝑪𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒊𝒆𝒔 is a pairing of the inimitable Korg MS-20 and field recordings staged or captured by Jiyoung in Seoul and Busan, South Korea.

With three scenes per side, Jiyoung walks us through different geographical and spatial intimacies. Public spaces and intimate conversations are obscured and reconstructed. Glass elevators, an unknown hotel lobby piano recital, office toilet rants, windowside night bus travels, and multiple languages interplay with staged and unstaged conversations to transmogrify themselves into a world of Jiyoung’s view. Money, sex, relationships, and cultural parameters are at once idiosyncratic as well as disorientingly familiar to the listener.

As an extension of the series coined by Jiyoung as 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘍𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, the album feels crisp, pressurized, and at times funny, at other times melancholic. As language, space, and viewing perspective shift, Jiyoung’s succinct album invites the listener to an aural world uniquely of her own viewpoint. While collecting source material relying on the outside world (conversations, elders, the closing track featuring Sungeun Lee), we have a listening experience that deeply illustrates Jiyoung’s perspective. The disjointed experience of someone maneuvering internationally to further develop a practice is encapsulated brilliantly here by Jiyoung with 𝑨𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕 𝑨𝒍𝒍 𝑪𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒊𝒆𝒔. Alongside Makoto Oshiro’s 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒅, it is a perfect bookend to the ENXPL series."
