For Secret Thirteen journal we have worked on a special slowed down techno recording in the spirit of the live sets we have did for Polar Inertia’s recent exhibitions in Brussels and CCA, Tbilisi.

A couple of months ago we have changed all our gear and equipment, and collected new machines but somehow never had enough time to meet altogether and wire them. Finally, we have decided to hook up our new musical gear and equipment to improvise the future of Polar Inertia’s sound.

It was one of those studio jams you do not want to rush to. We took our time. Slowed down the tempo to 112 bpm and sent all synths through a multitrack recorder to catch every moment of the jam session. During hours of knob twisting we went through several states of mind and different styles.

What we are sharing with Secret Thirteen readers is an edited version of what happened that night.

A Swarm Of Butterflies Encountered On  w/ Acrartep & Lashamenna (04/10/24)

"Before you arrive, a monk must dream of an anchor, a tiger must die in Sumatra, nine men must die in Borneo."

Acrartep, already known as a member of the drone duo Ab Uno, seems to expand his artistic vocabulary with this solo project, debuting under the Brutal Forms label, likely characterized by a raw and radical sonic approach. The drone influences create prolonged and dense soundscapes, while the noise element introduces distortion and abrasive textures, contributing to a hypnotic and unsettling atmosphere.

Oxygen

This mixtape was live mixed while open-air diffused throughout the Cretan ruins of Tarrha, back in August 17th 2021, at night. Tapping randomly into almost 20 years of unreleased productions of mine, I see it as the first chapter for a possible upcoming trilogy dedicated to the archetype of Time. 

The mixtape also features some percussions improvisations especially recorded for and with guitarist and songwriter Francesco Forni, alongside winds player Renato Ciunfrini and bassist Emanuele Brignola.

In A Future Night Of The Ancient Tarrha

"TRINCEE" is a VA designed to celebrate 20 years of activity of our label/platform. 
A work that makes use of the contribution of many (not all) artists who accompanied us on this journey. 
Behold the title: if one eye regarded our path, the other remained focused on the present, on its miseries, tragedies and dystopias, on what we wanted to tell with our sounds. 

As the world slides into the abyss, 
while reality fragments into replicas and human beings into replicants,
WE CELEBRATE DECADENCE WHILE EVERYTHING BURNS

This set from Acrartep was recorded live for the second edition of 'Destroy/Rebuild', an experimental live electronic event designed around the concept of destroying audio and rebuilding the artefacts of its destruction into music
