Kilou "Clinky Breath" [ICO13] 

Bandcamp/streaming https:/song.link/clinkybreath 

"This project consists of songs from the last one or two years and describes the longing for warmth and at the same time feeling comfort in the melancholy of winter. Sunbeams melting away the snow and blades of grass appearing underneath, but you can hardly see anything through the glittering mist of your breath. It is freezing cold,"

Fairy-esque synths, digital strings and spectral atmospherics combine to lure you into tuna's “Object Permanence”, out via NYC's Altamira Records on June 14th, 2024. In the release, tuna, real name Julian Schäfer, evokes fractals that combine his glossy audio productions with the lushness of the boreal world.

Represented through a mixture of auditory synthesis and fantastical themes, “Object Permanence” ponders, and then objects to, the idea of immutability. The natural world serves as a metaphor for the concept. An appropriated painting of a shoreline on the EP's cover may seem like a representative moment of nature's beauty and order, but through evaporation, tides, human intervention, and the life and death of millions of organisms that live within, a seemingly static frame is actually representative of a continually changing environment.

The closing song, “Melt Like Water,” encapsulates this theme with a quote by a tribal community elder from Vanuatu in Werner Herzog’s 2016 documentary, "Into the Inferno." “Everything will melt, the stones, the trees, everything, like water.” In our crumbling world, how can one expect any permanence?

Midsummer Glow 한여름의 빛

The light of midsummer—
when it settles upon a quiet heart,
forgotten emotions
begin to softly awaken.

Your gaze,
the ripple of light that day,
the hours that flowed in silence—
all remain within this glow.

This is not the end.
It is the beginning
of summer’s song, once more.

The waves of feeling
gently brush the soul,
and a sudden urge to drift away
calls forth the memory of you.

Between light and shadow,
a tender afterglow
revives the summer
that once
lived in my heart.
---------------------------------

한여름의 빛
그 빛이 고요한 마음에 내려앉을 때
잊고 지낸 감정들이
은은히 깨어난다.

그대의 눈빛,
그날의 빛의 파동,
말없이 흐르던 시간들—
모두 이 빛 속에 머문다.

이것은 끝이 아닌,
다시 시작되는
여름의 노래.

감정의 파도는
잔잔히 마음을 스치고,
어디론가 떠나고 싶은 충동은
문득, 그대를 떠올리게 한다.

빛과 그림자 사이
따뜻한 여운은
기억 속 여름을
다시—
불러온다.

Midsummer Glow 한여름의 빛
