emynd
emynd (government name: Emil Nassar) is a cultural, ethnic, and geographic
nomad through-and-through. Having spent a significant portion of his
life in what seems like every corner of the world, emynd’s compositions
and influences are as motley and muddled as his many homes and mosaic
ethnicity. Having already produced for underground artists like Sole,
Sage Francis, Reef the Lost Cauze, and Dose One, emynd made a name
for himself early on as producer willing to take risks, sampling anything
from listless Golden Earring guitar riffs to piercing Pretty Tony
808 kicks to appropriately illustrate his amalgamated and appropriated
worldview.
As a solo artist, emynd first exposed himself on the Beyond Space
Compilation with the guitar-driven “Introdiction” that
convincingly mumbles a head-hanging optimism through its minor-key
sighs, inspiring as much introspection as dance floor delight. emynd
also contributed to Equinox Record’s first vinyl release “Welcome
to the Neo Golden Age EP” with his electr(o)rganic “Positive
Reinforcement” which encourages its listeners to dance away
their pain because, at the end of the day, if the dancing doesn’t
work, there’s always suicide. emynd continues to throw caution
to the wind every time he sits down to make music, finding that limiting
his work to the arbitrary rules and customs that his many predecessors
inscribed is not only an inaccurate representation of who he is, but
at a more basic level, simply uninteresting. emynd is a wayfaring
stranger and he has no problem with his music being a physical, sensual,
and emotional representation of his nomadic nature. |
