Hieroglyphic Being is an American experimental electronic music artist hailing from Chicago, Illinois. With a unique sound that blends elements of house, techno, and avant-garde experimentation, Hieroglyphic Being has become known for his boundary-pushing approach to music production.

Influenced by artists such as Terrence Dixon, Theo Parrish, and Drexciya, Hieroglyphic Being's music transports listeners to otherworldly realms with its hypnotic rhythms and intricate sonic textures. His tracks are characterized by their raw energy and unconventional structures, creating a truly immersive listening experience.

Having collaborated with notable figures in the electronic music scene like Jamal Moss and Legowelt, Hieroglyphic Being has gained recognition for his innovative contributions to the genre. Whether performing live or producing in the studio, he continues to push the boundaries of electronic music and challenge traditional notions of what it means to create art.

Producer and boss of Mathematics records, Jamal Moss a.k.a Hieroglyphic Being is a one-off musical explorer. Jamal's music takes cues from the EBM and House that played a huge part in the city's musical underground in the late eighties and early nineties, notably Ron Hardy and Adonis, but also Industrial, Avant-Jazz and Noise. His tireless schedule of rough low-key releases over the last 12 years and his intense, very physical, psychedelic music, have made him a key exponent or maybe even a pioneer of what's recently come to be named 'Outsider House', although he prefers the more Sun-Ra like descriptors of 'Rhythmic Cubism' and 'Cosmic Be-Bop'. His releases, much like his music, have straddled House labels and the more leftfield avant garde electronic imprints with ease. However his deeply held Afrofuturist intent and the discipline of his radical designs set him apart from the pack. Always moving forward, his music is an ever-evolving transmission from his mind to our bodies, or as he sees it, a form of meditation that the supple, tuned listener will enjoy immensely. 'The Seer Of Cosmic Visions' is a collection of tracks from his back catalogue that have been selected to make this album. Remastered by Michael Kuhn at Berlin's Dubplates and Mastering. The album is hugely varied within it's basic drum machine and synths template; from the psychedelic blowout 'The Seer Of Cosmic Visions' and the distorted, ruptured crunch of 'How Wet Is Ur Box', to more delicate meditations like 'Space Is The Place' or 'Letters From The Edge'. From the the shimmering rhythmic noise of 'A Genre Sonique' to the the woozy tribal funk of '134340 Pluto' or the rough darting strings of the off-kilter 'Calling Planet Earth' and finishing on the relaxing gaseous drones of 'Strange Signs In The Sky', the album never fails to transport the listener to another state of mind.
