The Beautiful Schizophonic

Lost somewhere between post-romantic drones and gothic literature, Jorge Mantas is the creative mind behind The Beautiful Schizophonic. He started this project in August 2003, using essentially laptop, minidisc and some esoteric software to process an array of carefully chosen sounds, in order to achieve a sort of multileveled cinema for the ears. Headphone romanticism for the modern loners or a listening to the world soundscape with poetic hearing?

Julia Holter

Julia Shammas Holter is a classically-trained keytarist from Echo Park. After infiltrating Human Ear Music headquarters dressed as an intern, she wrote and recorded her own release on the label. Her music is witty, surreal and optimistic. She plays without sarcasm in the terrains that divide sentimentality, passion, and control. Her songs are written instinctively, and treated with an off-kilter fastidiousness, working orchestral variety from minimal instrumentation.
