One hour of mostly unreleased material from Belgrade-based artist Zhe Pechorin.

Zhe Pechorin (Noir Age X NARR 21/04/23)

Leap, slink, appeal
Unravel royal road
Solid ground to yonder
We drift of one's own
Invented and invited
Leaven to the unlined
Visions of unconscious, endow with a mind:
Fantasies of glacier pervades a glimpse
Deviant swells are never seen sealed.

Introspective pilgrimage through the enigmatical realms. Amulet of Tears presents a compilation that serves as an intimate and nuanced odyssey, ignited by ambiguous envision of Sigmund Freud's - 'The Interpretation of Dreams'.

'Surveying' the subconscious to unravel transcendental thresholds, hidden dimensions, alternatives & impossibilities within core or peripheral perceptions, soared through phantasmal viewpoints.

L+P-2 is Rivet's second album following his acclaimed debut, On Feather and Wire, released on Editions Mego in 2020. The wheels were already in motion for a subsequent album on the same label, but tragedy struck. Peter "Pita" Rehberg, the legendary owner of Editions Mego, suddenly passed away at only 53 years old, leaving the experimental electronic music community in a state of pitch-black grief. Rivet was among the many deeply affected by this loss. The inspiration and support from Rehberg had propelled Rivet to create at a level he himself was uncertain he had mastered. For Rivet, Rehberg's death felt like the death of music.

However, that brooding sentiment was abruptly shattered when Rivet's beloved dog and companion, Lilo, was diagnosed with incurable cancer just a couple of months later. They were inseparable, and now they would be separated nonetheless. The only way Rivet could cope with this double blow was to compose—for Lilo, for Pita, for his own sanity. L+P-2 is the result.

While the album naturally emerges from a place of despair, it's remarkably comforting. Partly, this stems from Rivet's singular ability to make machines not only sound human but also act human—sincere and warm, yet flawed. In more than one track on L+P-2, you'll encounter a distinctive melody and a gnarly bassline dancing hand in hand with Rivet's eccentric and captivating drum patterns. Then, seemingly on a whim, the melody takes off on its own, leaving the faithful bassline behind—much like a dear friend that suddenly vanishes from your life without warning. Yet life goes on, and so does the music. But never unchanged. Never.

L+P-2 is an album of lamentation, yet also of resolve—a dedication to those who go through life losing more than their share because they always carry too much.

har jag hukat 
så länge 
att allt blivit skevt 
att allt blivit skört
//
have I hunched down 
for so long 
that everything has become askew 
that everything has become brittle

In debut albums for Warm Winters Ltd and Mappa, Rob Winstone has formed a unique sound that's tinged with a beautifully eerie nostalgia, and traced by delicate, microscopic details.

His 'Somewhere' mix draws on this palette, conjuring a selection of blissed autumnal drone works and spacious meanderings for piano. Harnessing restrained composition, he explores the cavernous depths of sparse minimalism, juxtaposing meditative ambient with disruptive noise, to ultimately accentuate the lustrous melodies that characterize his work.

Through ocean mists, the sound of the foghorn is huge, rattling, and momentous. For the sixteenth instalment of Scrying the Landscape, Haron delivers a lament for the slow death of the monstrous, melancholy machines, evoking coastal folklore, shipwrecks, and the loneliness of lighthouses.
