Out now! Just released this new music video for the track "The Plasmic Crystal" from my album Loom. The video is directed by Lola Constantino, who is an amazing animator and a very cool person. She's also a badass electronic musician, so if you don't know her stuff check it out, it's mindblowing (I've linked to her website below).

I love the narrative she cooked up around the song, about a group of 19th century polar explorers searching for the mythical "plasmic crystal", and the consequences of their hubris.

Out today! Juri Seo's bonkers multi-movement piece, Toy Store, for violin and electronics, played by Jinjoo Cho (with the composer on electronics). It careens from video game sounds to crunchy just intonation, to death metal blasts, to John Adams-style minimalism, nimbly articulating the chaotic inner world of a child's mind.

Juri's description:
5 movements about the madness of childhood. It is the weirdest and potentially the best work I have done. It would mean a lot if you gave it a listen! Enjoy the impeccable playing by . Mixed by , mastered by , graphic design by Gayoung Yoon. Special thanks to for releasing on Carrier, and for support. https://composerjuri.hearnow.com/toy-store

On September 8, 2023, Annika Socolofsky and ~Nois release "I Tell You Me," an album celebrating q***r joy and defiance on Carrier Records. Described as “grotesquely gorgeous” (Chicago Tribune), Socolofsky’s original 3-song cycle riffs on the old nursery rhyme “sugar, spice, and everything nice, that’s what little girls are made of,” questioning gender roles and rejoicing in the beauty of q***r self-expression and empowerment. The album turns this old nursery rhyme on its head, asking “what are little girls made of?” and channels feminist rage and defiance at the double standards placed on women and q***rs in society. In the spirit of individual expression, the song cycle is followed by remixes of each song in the cycle, each created by a different q***r artist: Phong Tran, Darian Donovan Thomas, and No Plexus and celebrating their unique voices through their own performances, composing, and production.
