In comparison, he gives a damning description for the people of today: “We have ignored our ears.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEarwitness is a fitting album title for Joyul, an artist with a sensitive ear to her surroundings. While she began working under this moniker six years ago, the Seoul-based musician’s debut LP arrives with well-intentioned timing, serving as a document of the ideas and people and places that have defined her life. It’s only natural that Earwitness features a wide array of musical styles—many of which have been honed in her live performances—as life itself is vast and multi-faceted. Still, there’s connective tissue across these eight tracks in the form of patient pacing and arresting vulnerability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A Stage” opens the record with lapping waters, but instead of mere field recordings, Joyul adorns these waves with bells and whispers and found sounds, creating a moody atmosphere that poetically captures the gulf between two people: “Twenty fingers are weaved\/Four arms are crossed\/Lost distance between skin.” It’s followed by the direct lyricism of “Marginalia”: “We used to empty the night with meaningless conversation\/Though I remember all the words we shared.” Here, she brings out her guitar, gently plucking notes as they reverberate into the void. Comparisons to Grouper are apt, but Joyul doesn’t let her voice or playing have the final say: they dissolve into the sound of birds, telegraphing her own smallness, revealing the interconnectedness of all things.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere’s immense trust that Joyul places in sound as a storyteller, and each track’s distinct sonic qualities flesh out a colorful tapestry of moods. There’s contemplation and drama found in “Chant” through its percussive clacks and revving synths, while “Mirror Ash” has siren-like tones and a mangled beat that feel unsettled and queasy. “Prayer’s Stone” is a stirring, slow-shifting ballad, while “Backstroke” lets dreamy guitar strums express as much emotion as her own voice. Every song is a dance between multiple elements, and the lucidity of her songwriting showcases an artist with full confidence in her craft and the sounds she wields.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoyul recognizes that Earwitness is an extension of her own sensing of the world—something both highly personal and impossible to fully convey. She knows the futility of sharing such experiences without error, but is interested in testifying nonetheless, presenting music amidst the haziness, the illusions, the utter unknowability of sounds. She listens, and is an earwitness herself, most assuredly because she embraces the truth that, as listeners, we’ll never fully know the soundscapes we construct and encounter.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : JOYUL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Psychic Liberation\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2022-02-24T14:22:59+09:00","created_at":"2022-02-24T13:42:14+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["ambient","lp","Psychic Liberation","seoul helicopter","techno \/ house"],"price":378000,"price_min":378000,"price_max":378000,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42460946727162,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Joyul \/\/ Earwitness LP","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":378000,"weight":430,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/ea1_e9de152a-c5fa-41d9-8c19-aef49df9f819.jpg?v=1645677736","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/ea2_0410912a-3521-434e-aa3b-c211931e82a3.jpg?v=1645677736"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/ea1_e9de152a-c5fa-41d9-8c19-aef49df9f819.jpg?v=1645677736","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":29200300310778,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/ea1_e9de152a-c5fa-41d9-8c19-aef49df9f819.jpg?v=1645677736"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/ea1_e9de152a-c5fa-41d9-8c19-aef49df9f819.jpg?v=1645677736","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":29200300343546,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/ea2_0410912a-3521-434e-aa3b-c211931e82a3.jpg?v=1645677736"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/ea2_0410912a-3521-434e-aa3b-c211931e82a3.jpg?v=1645677736","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e韓国・ソウルの音響作家Joyulが、2022年1月にHelicopter SeoulとPsychic Liberationから300部限定でリリースした最新レコードです。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eアンビエント〜実験テクノ11曲を収録。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e※デジタル音源をご希望の場合はご連絡をお願いいたします\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=87623464\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/pl\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/pl\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\/\/\/ Click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/pl\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/pl\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to see more Psychic Liberation releases available at Tobira. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes DL code.

That easy and clear melody made me imagine the opposite situation, and I was able to concentrate more on the sound I heard thanks to it. ‘What will happen if you put on noise-cancelling earphones in a small room with their new album playing loudly? Will that white, smooth high-tech transform into soft orange earplugs at once? If there is a sound that digs into the ear canal like now, would it be clear, bare, or dull? What's the difference?' Of course I wouldn't try.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eI wrote down the tracklist in order in the notebook. All of them are in English, so I translated them into Korean. And I circled the first track, bud, several times, which was probably due to my preoccupation with earphones. (These days, earbuds seem to be more preferred than earphones.) So, for a while, it became awkward to just listen to music like a singer struggling with not knowing where to put his hands on stage, so I suddenly started to rummage through novels. And one thing became clear, and that was the fact that Kwang Program's new album was written but very suitable for reading novels. There seemed to be no background music more suitable for examining the unfinished ones. Incompleteness is usually not because of the lack of a skeleton, but because of the lack of flesh. So, the new eight tracks on the program were excellent at slicking into the sloppy lines of the skinny story, and I thought it was pretty blatant. In this way, noise easily finds empty places anywhere and fills the space. close the gap approaches slowly. ignore the distance Yes. This is probably not right. In today's world, ignoring 'street'! So, if you're a person who wants the wrong thing, or if you're often surrounded by stuff you're making, at least you want to, you might want to listen to Kwang's new album with earbuds.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAfter listening to the album several times, I was quite surprised by one fact.

Indeed, if only the notes they left out were arranged in order, I wanted to create a melody that was quite pleasant to listen to. would it be okay Is that possible? It's probably not going to happen. But thanks to you, I was convinced. The conclusion is that such a delusion corresponds precisely to the purpose of the Kwang program. It seems very natural for those who “musically and acoustically pursue the power of the aesthetic and cultural reaction that the culture surrounding it rather than concentrating on the pop form and composition of rock” pay attention to the outline of the song rather than the interior. . Above all, they work hard to make the rim sound. What is contained in it is rather secondary. And this album is more faithful than ever to this aesthetic pursuit. In other words, by skillfully omitting musical effects that evoke sensory satisfaction, Kwang's third full-length album 'there is no more snow on the television' secretly blocks the conventional excitement that listeners expect from rock. You'll focus on the sound they touched, feeling like you're hearing something rather than hearing something. You'll keep guessing what the silhouette of that noise is covering.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eOf course, sometimes a familiar scale can be heard in the distance. But I can't really tell if it's the sound coming from the earphones, coming from outside, or if it's just tinnitus. That ambiguity was heightened when I listened to track 6 Everyday We Are and track 7 The Sun Walks, where the regular beats and loops from beginning to end seemed to herald something to come (or backwards), and I have already recorded several albums. I hoped nothing would happen despite (or because I was) listening to it. Sounds that don't settle anywhere. The Kwang program leaves a sound that is not here now by pursuing something that is neither so nor bad. The impurities are scattered over the residue filtered through the sieve of use. So I can't say 'good' about their album. Such a word is nonsense. Instead, I merely confess that I was relieved by the strange will to find silence, not the familiar compulsion to resist it. I feel like I'm not hearing anything. It's a quiet you can enjoy. Oh, and come to think of it, ‘bang’ is an onomatopoeic word for collision and explosion.

That easy and clear melody made me imagine the opposite situation, and I was able to concentrate more on the sound I heard thanks to it. ‘What will happen if you put on noise-cancelling earphones in a small room with their new album playing loudly? Will that white, smooth high-tech transform into soft orange earplugs at once? If there is a sound that digs into the ear canal like now, would it be clear, bare, or dull? What's the difference?'

And I circled the first track, bud, several times, which was probably due to my preoccupation with earphones. (These days, earbuds seem to be more preferred than earphones.) So, for a while, it became awkward to just listen to music like a singer struggling with not knowing where to put his hands on stage, so I suddenly started to rummage through novels. And one thing became clear, and that was the fact that Kwang Program's new album was written but very suitable for reading novels. There seemed to be no background music more suitable for examining the unfinished ones. Incompleteness is usually not because of the lack of a skeleton, but because of the lack of flesh. So, the new eight tracks on the program were excellent at slicking into the sloppy lines of the skinny story, and I thought it was pretty blatant. In this way, noise easily finds empty places anywhere and fills the space. close the gap approaches slowly. ignore the distance Yes. This is probably not right. In today's world, ignoring 'street'!

Gender non-binary and Asian. Name preferred written with no uppercase letters.” The bela I know is a DJ who appeared unexpectedly, playing fast music in an irreplaceable and beautifully expressive way, that tells elaborate stories of the moments they encounter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring winter of 2019, I was a bit surprised when I heard their tracks, sent to me as a gift for Christmas. It felt as if I had peeked into the stories closer to bela’s heart, a different side to a DJ who usually operates on deconstructed club sounds and rave tracks. It felt closer to an honest version of the story, the music that bela held dearly inside. In the meantime, they had successfully wrapped a China\/Japan tour while releasing remixes and DJ sets online. On the side, they managed to establish themself as a DJ act with unparalleled speed, through a different persona - DJ Guixine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot many people are aware, but bela has self-released music on Bandcamp and SoundCloud, beginning with an album that encompasses a period from winter 2018 to spring 2019, ‘why are you so lost sweetie.’ And then, a time no one could predict, 2020 arrived. In summer 2020, bela sent an EP named ‘to resonate in a universe’ to friends. Not long after that, the EP ‘Relict Knowledge, Was It You, the Crook?” was released on Bandcamp. After checking out the two EPs, Helicopter Records’ sole employee suggested re-releasing them under the new title of ‘2020’, believing they were both works derived from the stories and sentiments that came to exist within the axis of the year 2020.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat is to say, bela’s ‘2020’ is an album containing their two EPs self-released in 2020. Concerning the motive, bela explains that “they aren’t about specific concepts or ideas; they are things that naturally came to mind during quarantine while adapting to accumulating knowledge from YouTube and online college classes.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tracks are journals created by bela while trying to understand the world of 2020, using what little knowledge of quantum physic and neuroscience they had access to. They are private notes to self, written in a calm manner while slowly grasping how electromagnetic resistance between the atoms of two hands gets transmitted to one’s brain along a path of neurons activated by sodium-potassium pumps, simultaneously igniting neurons bound by previous incidents, realizing this is a ‘handshake’, strange, familiar, or hostile, or all of the above. This constitutes the physical reality of the ways one either understands or seriously misunderstands the world. What’s left for us, is to gain comfort from watching bela process what’s going on in a world where nothing makes sense.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThus, knowing the genre of the tracks, how they were written or the musical instruments that were used, is not a relevant part of this experience. Instead, bela left some breadcrumbs for us: “You could say they aren’t full of purpose. They are research notes and diaries of sorts. Isn’t the sound itself already naturally saturated with my ways of thinking or the ways I process my emotions?”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Yeong Die remix of ‘Finite Numbers’ and an early version of ‘Sunny Sunday’ were added in the process of developing ‘2020.’ Having been played in public a few times, Yeong Die’s remix was well received by the audience, prompting several inquiries for the track identification. ’2020’ was written and mixed by bela, and mastered by musician Taehyun Choi. Mat-kkal, head of the design company MHTL, designed the cover of the album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat was the year 2020 to us all? The year Google’s server stopped for the first time, the year we found out that recycling plastics the old way won’t work anymore, the year just too many lives were lost?

Gender non-binary and Asian. Name preferred written with no uppercase letters.” The bela I know is a DJ who appeared unexpectedly, playing fast music in an irreplaceable and beautifully expressive way, that tells elaborate stories of the moments they encounter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring winter of 2019, I was a bit surprised when I heard their tracks, sent to me as a gift for Christmas. It felt as if I had peeked into the stories closer to bela’s heart, a different side to a DJ who usually operates on deconstructed club sounds and rave tracks. It felt closer to an honest version of the story, the music that bela held dearly inside. In the meantime, they had successfully wrapped a China\/Japan tour while releasing remixes and DJ sets online. On the side, they managed to establish themself as a DJ act with unparalleled speed, through a different persona - DJ Guixine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot many people are aware, but bela has self-released music on Bandcamp and SoundCloud, beginning with an album that encompasses a period from winter 2018 to spring 2019, ‘why are you so lost sweetie.’ And then, a time no one could predict, 2020 arrived. In summer 2020, bela sent an EP named ‘to resonate in a universe’ to friends. Not long after that, the EP ‘Relict Knowledge, Was It You, the Crook?” was released on Bandcamp. After checking out the two EPs, Helicopter Records’ sole employee suggested re-releasing them under the new title of ‘2020’, believing they were both works derived from the stories and sentiments that came to exist within the axis of the year 2020.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat is to say, bela’s ‘2020’ is an album containing their two EPs self-released in 2020. Concerning the motive, bela explains that “they aren’t about specific concepts or ideas; they are things that naturally came to mind during quarantine while adapting to accumulating knowledge from YouTube and online college classes.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tracks are journals created by bela while trying to understand the world of 2020, using what little knowledge of quantum physic and neuroscience they had access to. They are private notes to self, written in a calm manner while slowly grasping how electromagnetic resistance between the atoms of two hands gets transmitted to one’s brain along a path of neurons activated by sodium-potassium pumps, simultaneously igniting neurons bound by previous incidents, realizing this is a ‘handshake’, strange, familiar, or hostile, or all of the above. This constitutes the physical reality of the ways one either understands or seriously misunderstands the world. What’s left for us, is to gain comfort from watching bela process what’s going on in a world where nothing makes sense.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThus, knowing the genre of the tracks, how they were written or the musical instruments that were used, is not a relevant part of this experience. Instead, bela left some breadcrumbs for us: “You could say they aren’t full of purpose. They are research notes and diaries of sorts. Isn’t the sound itself already naturally saturated with my ways of thinking or the ways I process my emotions?”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Yeong Die remix of ‘Finite Numbers’ and an early version of ‘Sunny Sunday’ were added in the process of developing ‘2020.’ Having been played in public a few times, Yeong Die’s remix was well received by the audience, prompting several inquiries for the track identification. ’2020’ was written and mixed by bela, and mastered by musician Taehyun Choi. Mat-kkal, head of the design company MHTL, designed the cover of the album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat was the year 2020 to us all? The year Google’s server stopped for the first time, the year we found out that recycling plastics the old way won’t work anymore, the year just too many lives were lost? In this moment, when everyone’s time has come to a standstill, we can face the present while listening to bela’s ‘2020.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrganized and manufactured by Helicopter Records, limited to 150 cassette tapes only.
