Mormon Tea - Murmur Library - SD-141

At the beginning of a new year, Spheredelic wishes all listeners a peaceful, attentive, and sound-filled year ahead. In a time of pause, reorientation, and subtle transition, Murmur Library emerges as a work that invites space for the overlooked and an experience of sound in its slowest, most restrained form.

Mormon Tea is the project of Mykola Yosypenko, a graphic designer and sound artist based in Kharkiv, Ukraine. His work operates at the intersection of soundscape and structure, combining modular synthesis, digital sound processing, and field recordings captured in places and moments of personal significance. Alongside Mormon Tea, Yosypenko also works under the names Akhluth, Motorpig, Fayerabend, and Saturata, exploring various facets of electronic, sampled, and acoustic sound practices.

With Murmur Library, Mormon Tea presents a series of quiet, introspective compositions in which sound is treated as a physical, malleable material. The album is conceived as a continuous sequence rather than a collection of individual tracks — unfolding like a book, page by page. Each piece functions as a chapter, developing slowly and focusing on texture, space, and the minimal shifts that occur within near-stillness.

Rather than following a traditional narrative, Murmur Library documents a state of attentive listening and careful shaping. The work reflects on how the slightest movement, blur, and imperfect resonance can evoke memory, distance, and the acoustic traces of lived spaces. It is a work of restraint — one that does not explain, but reveals — inviting the listener to reengage with time, space, and sound.
