Memorial Mantras by Binmarry Nangkiriny

With our anniversary release, we're launching our 'New Ethnographs' series, which focuses on offline masters who twist, twirl, sustain and spar with local traditions of soundmaking, and alter/native communities that are still in the process of building and developing such traditions of their own.

We start off the series with a somewhat challenging step, making the trip rewarding only for the worthy.
Our first pilgrimage was for a dusk sitting with generous veteran drummer and percussionist Binmarry Nangkiriny at the La Grange Bay Telegraph Station, her detailed depths of range and rhythm amplified and sonically spread for our ears through her signature stereo technique, wordlessly engaging with histories of land, identity, relief, exchange and colonization.

Protruding parafictional phonics from an obscure aural outhouse of obfuscation for the occasionally hopeless, from all around.

Well…

It’s a(n anti-) label.
