eso malflor

eso malflor’s debut poetry chapbook, EVERYTHING IS IN SEARCH OF EQUILIBRIUM, is an exploration of the body - body as flesh and body as earth. It contends with ideas of the permeability and permanence of perceived borders among those surfaces. This collection of poems and drawings acknowledges and offers compassion for bodies that have been subjected to conformity, instead giving them the agency to be whatever it is that time and self call them to be.

Gregg Yupanki Bautista

Yupanki is a time migrant who once had a past. Lost deep in a valley in a far away place, his memories have become fragmented after losing track of all the wheres and whens he has traveled. Searching for home with only dreams and visions to guide him, he tries to reconstruct his identity as he navigates the unfamiliar terrain.

Along the way, he encounters some of the valley's mysterious residents and explores places that question his perception of identity and reality. Places that hide a secret kept by the valley itself - old spirits also inhabit the landscape. Some are willing to help, but others aim to keep him in the dark.

A companion to the EP of the same name from the conceptual music project Yupanki, Un Lugar Lejos recounts a few memories our wayfaring time migrant has been able to retain. As an illustrated collection of poems and short stories, Un Lugar Lejos: Valleys explores self discovery and inner strength, connections to nature, as well as what it means to belong.

Yupanki's 2022 debut EP, Un Lugar Lejos conjurs loop-based guitar arrangements through a range of effects, stacking layers of sound that weave in and out of an unspoken narrative.

The music, often described as cinematic, follows the story of the titular character Yupanki - a wanderer with no memory of his past. It explores themes of self discovery and inner strength, connections to nature, as well as what it means to belong.

Previously only available digitally, this physical CD will be available in limited quantities.
