Listen to Mokuhen & Zellum’s ‘ZeMo’ LP

Listen to Mokuhen & Zellum’s ‘ZeMo’ LP:

As we’ve told you thru the year, fans of the outer realms of electronic music and other experimental sonic endeavors should keep their ears tuned for the weird transmissions coming from Paris-based label Tsuku Boshi. In case you’re playing catch-up, releases like Hippies Wearing Muzzles‘ Plants in Combination LP, Anti-Gris‘ ANIMALS EP, or Mokuhen‘s La Barricade du cygne LP will all provide intriguing entry points.

Mokuhen is actually the French musician Laurent Gu�rel, who also helps head Tsuku Boshi, and today we give a listen to Mokuhen & Zellum‘s ZeMo LP, which came out in the late Fall via the label. Zellum is the sound artist and electroacoustic explorer Lucien Gaudion, and across this album’s three long-playing tracks the musicians collide their particular sounds and techniques like smashing atoms to record the results. Claiming no “thematic” or “established rules”, Zemo is described as more of a “collage” or “juxtaposition” than “conversation”. To this end, as you’ll notice if you take a look at the track titles, Mokuhen and Zellum have each made their compositions from the other’s sounds. While Mokuhen’s composition incorporates plenty of drift and negative space, Zellum opts for a volatile meeting of the minds on his and along the way they each stumble upon “happy accidents” and unforeseen creative intersections.
