about

London based record label and artist collective squareglass are proud to present their latest offering, the intriguing and absorbing debut EP from London based electronic music artist JL Segel.

An art-school-graduate-turned-composer, he has collaborated with acts such as Lapsley and Stubbleman (Pascal Gabriel). JL Segel (real name Rotem Haguel) utilises a modular approach to
production, marrying ambient and dance music-inspired motifs with experimental and conceptual textures, calling to mind the works of Four Tet, Skee Mask, Floating Points and Rival Consoles.

His latest project “SKIN” is a 4-track EP that explores the idea of tactility and sonic experience through sound synthesis. Haguel explains:

“The sense of touch is really interesting to me. That’s because it doesn’t only give one the awareness of the objects touched, but also of one’s own body. Being this thing that stands at the crossroad of oneself and the world, I felt compelled to talk about it in musical terms. Using synthesizers as metaphors for bodies, being alive and modifiable and each having its own DNA, I wanted to convey how sensations ‘move’ and oscillate in our body and in our mind, revealing slowly unfolding processes and the very potential for transformation”

From the grainy, angular notes of “Symptoms of Contact”, through the calming, delay soaked arpeggios of “Interior Marks”, shifting oscillations of “Origins of Desire” and rippling vibrations of “Kinesis”, JL Segel uses his modular synths as a tool to replicate ebbs and flows of life, mimicking the way in which we experience the world around us through touch and feel. In a time characterized by the distance between us, Segel’s ode to tactility provides a beautiful and reinterpretation of one of the most personal human senses.
