Mystery Plays Mixtape #10: Shoeb Ahmad – Body Suites For Ismail Zakaria

“This mix features tunes by artists I spent the last nine months listening to in the home with my wife while she was pregnant with our baby boy, who was born at the start of September. The best thing about all these artists is they all make music their own way and that it is something I would like my boy to adapt for his life as he grows up. He would have heard all this music through the womb (in Wild Beasts’ case, heard them live in Sydney no less) and he may grow up without any subconscious reaction to it but I will always have special memories for these sounds.” Shoeb Ahmad, September 2011.

…Design by Stefanie Posavec

You may be wondering who did the beautiful and rather intriguing artwork for the cover of our first release The Floating World, and what those mandala-like circles all mean; so we spoke with the designer Stefanie Posavec to find out more…

“I like creating designs that are informed by data and a strict visual process, and it was decided early on that the data found within the album’s songs would be used to create the final artwork. However, instead of directly using the songs’ computer files as the starting point for the visuals, I gathered data from the songs by how they are meant to be experienced: through listening.

Mystery Plays Bleep

MPR001: The Floating World is now up on Bleep.com. Here’s what they had to say:

Gently burning IDM melancholia from Static Caravan’s Inch-time this time rolling on Mystery Plays Records. He sets up a record with a flex of analogue Kosmische, touches by jazz-flecked electronica and tugs our heart with mournful ambient drones kissed by synth playing that pours down on you like tear-drops. Tip for fans of Susuma Yokota, Isan.

Check it out now.

Vital Weekly Review – The Floating World

MPR001: Inch-time – The Floating World was recently reviewed by Vital Weekly Review:

Stefan Panczak is Inch-time and since 2003 he has been producing music for a variety of labels, mainly Static Caravan and the earliest one where on Lab Recordings. For whatever he started his own label now, Mystery Plays Records, and ‘The Floating World’ is his first release there, and his third full length album. Panczak, originally from Australia, but residing in London, is a man of electronics, keyboards as well as rhythm machines. ‘It was constructed in my laptop with the addition of some acoustic guitar, recorded through a microphone’ and the music is inspired by the Japanese art movement Ukiyo-e (pictures of the floating world).
