The xenoglyphs that Iglooghost has created also vary somewhat in style, as you can see from the entries on his site about Lei Music (you can see different symbols in the moving glyphs in entry 1, entry 2, and entry 4 ). These ones are much more sharp, curved, and Tetris-like, giving a much stronger impression of alienness. Iglooghost’s asemic xenoglyphs from his latest album are striking and palpably distinct from his earlier alien symbols. His 2018 double EP Clear Tamei / Steel Mogu again features xenoglyphs (some of which are asemic as far as I can tell), which look different from his previous alien characters. These glyphs are not asemic, however, as Iglooghost has assigned English letters to them, so you could use them to write meaningful words and sentences ( as the artist has done ). The artist built on this story with his album Neō Wax Bloom (2017), introducing new characters, as well as xenoglyphs that you can see on the cover art. Iglooghost’s 2015 EP Chinese Nü Yr was based on a story about a gelatinous worm called Xiāngjiāo who travels through portals in nonsensical lands. When Lei Music is performed in a safe & intermediate condition – the calls, whirs & howls of the entities will be adapted as a functioning element of the piece. Their visual forms are theorised to be of near-infinite variations. The entities’ appearances will differ and shift vastly depending on the instrumentation, timbre, tempo etc.

Tearing strange beings into the human world from invisible zones, instrument-players gather to perform screeching, clattering compositional experiments.

This is:Ī type of music based around specific combinations of sounds & airbound emissions that are intended to summon an entity. The latest album from electronic music producer Iglooghost, called Lei Line Eon, was accompanied by xenoglyphs the artist had created, which complement the alien music of the album, and which additionally constitute musical notation for Iglooghost’s fantastical idea of ‘Lei Music’. In an article on asemic writing, I touched on my fascination with this type of writing that has the appearance of alien characters (known as xenoglyphs), as well as the meaningless symbols that have been inspired by the use of psychedelics. When drawing, or just mindlessly doodling, I have an urge to form symbols, or some type of script, either on their own or as part of some psychedelic artwork. However, I didn’t know there was a specific term for the practice – or that it belonged to an artistic trend – until quite recently. For several years, I have found myself drawn to the practice of asemic writing (artistic, meaningless writing, which has the appearance of a genuine language).
