EP8 - The Ice Edge that Blooms (Live+DJ Hybrid) on Netil Radio 23-1-22

Aboutface is back live on @Netilradio 12pm - 2pm (UK GMT +1) with his bi-montly live + Dj hybrid show ‘An Ocean of Ink in a Single Drop’.  EP 9, is a special collaborative performance called Qachuu Aloom (Seed is Kin), centered around a specially written poem courtesy of @duckett-1 , expertly and tenderly recited by darker. 

“We've always viewed our seed relatives as relatives and kin” - Tsosie-Peña (Santa Clara Pueblo Native American community). As when seeds thrown into a derelict industrial factory, slowly democratises the decaying steel, this episode explores how planting seeds, figuratively and literally, can be an act of resistance and solidarity, geoshaping the cinders of humanity into a new future and showing us cycles are ephemeral and change is inevitable. 

The amazing supporting animations in this artwork called ‘The Elusive Good Egg, are by @miloustella_art ’. Collaboration is key to building hope and new futures.

EP9 An Ocean Of Ink - Qachuu Aloom (seed is kin) Ft Duckett 27-3-22

The final episode of An Ocean of Ink in a Single drop EP10 - 物の哀れ Mono no Aware. Mono no aware describes the feelings of sympathy a person feels upon becoming aware of the fleeting,impermanent nature of life. Mono no aware suggests that impermanence should not just be accepted, but appreciated, often typified by the beauty of the cherry blossom (Sakura); the flower blooms intensely, yet only for a short period of time each year. As the flowers die and the petals fall, cherry blossoms line the streets like a layer of soft, pink snow, and are most beautiful when captured between the precipice of life and death.

We truly appreciate things when we accept they do not last forever.

Join me for live performances with guitar, flute , clarinet and electronics, conceptually selected music and 6 specially selected Matsuo Bashō Haikus, recorded in Japanese and English by Fumika Geary & darker.

EP10 An Ocean of Ink - Mono no aware (Live & Dj hybryd) recorded live on Netil Radio

Aboutface is back live on Netilradio.com to present An Ocean of Ink season 2 episode 1 of – D3stiny: a surreal sonic narrative based on descriptions of dreams from the collective unconscious, using music selections stitched together with creative writing and live improvised music and sound design.  When the word ‘d3stiny’ is written lucidly during a dream, it initiates a pseudo-reality personalised game experience to fulfil the objectives and complete the game. However, the closer the dreamer comes to completing the game, the more they will start to identify the game as their waking reality, causing disruptions, side effects, and the blurring of all unconscious-conscious realities. This game experience is hosted by Dream Creator 17 (dark_e_r). Time to re-enter the manifold! ✨💤✨

Embodiment 070 - Space Drum Meditation

Monochrome presents, 𝖊́𝖙𝖊́ 𝓥 : Prieste5s, Immaterial Earth Records.

This summer, Monochrome is offering each month to one or several artists to discover their influences and inspirations through a forty-five minute to two hour recording. These three recordings will focus on percussive rhythms between Ambient, Deep Techno and Drum & Bass.

Artist biography :
Prieste5s is a Berlin-based electronic musician, live-coder, and visual artist. In her own productions, Prieste5s fuses versatile influences from across the genre spectrum - bass-heavy sounds, hypnotic techno elements, breakbeats, ambient, and experimental influences characterize her sonic palette. She takes her inspiration from a variety of different sources, and is passionate
about experimentation in music and exploring the unexpected crossovers between different genres and different mediums.

Inspired by her fascination of the untouched wilderness, natural history, and geological exploration, Prieste5s’ sound is a synthesis of organic sound design and psychedelic atmospheres. Her music is an expression of the transience of experience, and the ephemerality of the natural world.

As a passionate live-coder and a member of Berlin’s Algorave community, Prieste5s has performed as a musical live-coder at Algoraves and club events alike. In 2022, she was one of two artists chosen by Brighter Sound for their From the Depths commission, a project celebrating the legacy of Drexciya and Transatlantic Exchange, in which she created a hybrid modular / live-coding live set together with UK artist All Trades.

As a producer, Prieste5s has released on labels including Black String Records, Underdub Records, Malör Records, Elements, From a Lost Place, Interlock, Madah Sounds, W133, ara -About Recording Artists, Traverse, Oslated, Low End Therapy, Aneelhi Rec, and Virtual Forest Records. She is also the founder of Immaterial Earth Records.

PLASMA  w/ Neurotrancer - 22nd July 2025

"Reflection Code" is an EP that delves into the multifaceted aspects of human reflection through a collection of immersive musical compositions, each inviting the listener on a unique sonic journey. The EP invites listeners to explore their inner reflections and connect with each composition on a profound level, creating a unique auditory landscape that lingers long after the music ends.

Toki Fuko music can be described as mechanical signals are structured in a hypnotic substance. Their constant musical experimentation actor perceives as an analysis of the surrounding world.

Obtuse Swamp's third ecosystem "Reef Stage” from Berlin based producer Ilayruni dives deep into polyrhythmic slow-mo-feeling spatial sound architectures. With a remarkable evolving narrative, the EP is a constant evolution of both rhythm and spatial soundscapes. This time french producer Arsene Martinet along with London based o.utlier and Caldera give us another perspective of the very bottom of our biome. Cannot end this ecosystem presentation with a huge mention to our beloved biome designer @fredonne delivering another 3D exploration of Obtuse Swamp.

Logbook. Exploration mission.

Day 1. The planet is dead. An anomaly is detected — the time flow is slightly distorted.

Day 2. Landed in the central crater. The clocks of our suits show different times from the clocks on the ship. The gap is increasing.

Day 4. Logs contain records of events that never happened. A report of tomorrow’s evacuation appeared in the system. No one wrote it.

Day 5. We found footprints leading from the landing site to the crater, identical to ours. The ship log was discovered nearby. Final entry: “Do not enter the crater.”

Log transmission terminated. The crew did not reestablish contact.

Omen Wapta’s (@omenwapta) own Harald Uunk (@haralduunk) provided a liveset of haunting echoes, distorted washes, and sparse rhythmic fluxes. A sound distinct, inimitable, and so signature of the Omen Wapta milieu. These are spectres of lost drums buoyed on machine clouds. A dense fog.
