$~Puja 4 Rahu~$ - my first (& perhaps only) 25 minute through-composed piece of musiq ✨☄️ (contains some repeating motifs but not necessarily any repeating parts) is a krauty/new wave-y mushroom dose of programmed synths, live drums & some vocal collage as extra cyborg seasoning. This "composition" is an ontological representation of a worship (Puja) to the process & creation of music as a means to getting through a Rahu period, interpreted as a time of great challenge and uncertainty - specifically as it relates to my birth chart - Welcome to $~Puja 4 Rahu~$ ~ an hypnotic musical labyrinth to get lost in 🎶🥝 -Shmu

Come check out the show I co-host!

 

TheHighEpochTimes is a podcast where two stoners, Sam (Shmu) and Jesse (Buttons), explore the mysteries and absurdities of the Epoch Times, a controversial newspaper with ties to Falun Gong and pro-Trump propaganda. Along the way, they also dive into pop culture, art, music, comedy and more, sharing their feelings and opinions on various topics. Join them for a fun and relaxed journey through the highs and lows of reality, which is nothing but a joke.

SSHHMMUU

Shmu is the solo project of Sam Chown, a musical veteran (Zorch, Botany, Vinyl Williams) who for years has been exploring and finding the middle ground between acoustic and electronic instruments and elements, going for an organic, lush & psychedelic sound that vacillates (& is sometimes at once) frenetic while being hypnotic and inviting. Stereogum describes Shmu's music as “an explosive marriage of sounds that bursts with superhuman energy; half delightful retro pop, half abstract electronic noise, all mad scientist wizardry” or as Shmu likes to put it, “a meditation of the last 40 years of music collapsing in on itself. I’m attempting to create a post-internet pop music, utilizing mid 80s pop and R&B sounds, early 90s vaporwave-esque muzak samples, mixed with some 70s psych/R&B & yacht-rock influences that are glitched out with modern electronics."
