Unt (John Daniel + Florian T M Zeisig)

Clips Of Perspective

Enmossed and Psychic Liberation are pleased to present the first vinyl album in their ongoing collaborative series ENxPL, focusing on new music spanning the globe, utilizing high-end and recycled materials. Transatlantic duo Unt gifts us with Clips Of Perspective, synthesizing a multiplicity of genres - ranging from dub techno to screwed hiphop instrumentals, with hints of jazz, avant-garde composition, and new age music - into a personal conversation. Unt is a collaborative project by Chicago-based drummer and improviser John Daniel (fka Forest Management) and artist, producer, and musician Florian T M Zeisig. The pair began working together in early 2020, just before lockdowns, during Daniel’s last European tour performing as Forest Management. Starting as a jam session in Zeisig’s bedroom, Clips Of Perspective is their debut effort, combining both artists’ engagement with free-form electronic music. The album is the result of a growing friendship and sharing of each other's perspectives. Daniel and Zeisig wrote the tracks in an iterative process - constantly adding and replacing ideas both metaphorically and literally - in conversation as well as separately. As an expression of exploring what collaboration means from different perspectives - in terms of listening to each other and musical language - Clips Of Perspective ultimately reflects on exchange in its many forms. Clips Of Perspective also results from an ongoing process of personal development - breaking negative cyclical patterns, and realizing the depth and beauty of self by uncovering and unfolding one’s mind and personality beyond our current societal cues.
