 @em___er @swmmngpl Lithuanian born, Brussels based Marija Rasa, performing and releasing music under the moniker emer, explores sound rooted in the meditative space of dub, flowing through slow changes of voice, bass, and atmosphere. A graduate of the Institute of Sonology in The Hague, Rasa also develops multichannel acousmatic works through a meticulous micro-montage approach. Her releases include Sea Salt on Lillerne Tapes, a collaboration with Ugnė Uma on STROOM, and the LP Fog on Short Span. She is also one half of the electroacoustic duo ugne&maria, whose albums were released on the labels Futura Resistenza and Hands in the Dark. Besides, Marija is a resident of Radio Vilnius and Kiosk Radio in Brussels.  Swimming Pool is a The Hague based duo by bass player Klyl Shifroni and electronic musician Seraina Fässler. Through vocal harmonies, alternative bass playing, and electronic processing the duo explores folk intimacy and experimental song writing.⁠ The two acts will be supported by DJ sets from @glitza_sway and @aphasit__ 🎫 Tickets at the door on donation basis (10-15€ recomended) Artwork by @ey__ ❤️

I’ve loved Marija Rasa’s work for a long time and hoped we could work together on a release at some point, so i’m really glad to announce her debut LP as @em___er on Short Span today. It follows a single (featuring Ugnė Uma) for Stroom and a wonderful debut tape for the now cult (I hope!) incubator label Lilerne Tape Club, both of which have been heavily repeated listens for me since they came out. emer - Fog LP Short 6 Out October 31 Fog is for dreamers. Very dub. Soul. Ambient too. A bit of Detroit-like post industrial imagining. You can read it is as a new and different version of a very classic dub technique from the producer in many ways - Marija at the mixing console and effects desk, conjuring a new versioned music through radical restructuring and an instinctive reshaping of space + melody + lyric in studio experimentation. Tracks are pinned down by thick and enveloping bass while other elements float in and out, fleeting narcotic or hypnagogic notes of fantasy and song form bob in and out of focus. Scant colours and disorienting voice and melody sit suspended, occasionally coalescing and breaking out into moments of radiant beauty and slowly burning manifestations of warmth and presence shooting through the heart and gut. Early on we decided that this felt like a white label thing, and Micah felt a natural fit to take on the design; based on his beautiful portfolio for Kino Disk, Second Born, Daisart and elsewhere. Sensitive, soft, reduced, mysterious and oblique forms 🙂 Mastered by Miles @demdikestare Art by Micah Giraudeau @46pin 📷 Konradas Zakauskas
