At last, what do we know about time? An essential indicator of our lives, counted in seconds, officially codified worldwide via the international System of Units. Always running forward, never coming back. An implacable, invisible, impalpable truth, haunting each one of us, as we all expect it to ring the bell sooner or later. 

Hey, here’s a theory: couldn’t we distort it sometimes, even just a tiny bit? Because Lyon-based label SousTraitance may have managed to finally alter its course through its last compilation, a year and a half after the inaugural one.
“Looking for MTH” V/A successively stretches and contracts the passing time, or at least how we perceive it. Lose yourself in tempo fluctuations and audio glitches, between the slow, entrancing rites of Jan Loup, Israfil and Sabla, the atmospheric dilatations of Isabassi, Marion Castor and Inhmost, or the high-paced, feverish, raging outbursts of Tera Octe, Loïcc and Tadan.

To be released in limited-edition CD and digital on January 25, 2023: 9 tracks over one hour, that could actually go round the clock or vanish in the blink of an eye, we just can’t tell anymore.

Across centuries, long gone by
Veils of soul, that may rise
Fables untold, of grandeur
Chessboard 'neath, whereabouts

Ancient plea of foals & moulds
Traces retching, yet to hold
Knights - lore - forever year
Endless span in empty bam.

Self-absorbed shadows stretch in their peeled skin, wrapped in the habitude of shred chains. Elusive crate in the constant shelling for intrinsic freedom, whilst devouring figures blind a grander field in the stir - Inertia, where compulsion dispels its thorny strands - A lone roar in a fenceless herd.

Jonas Raudonius is Lithuania based electronic music composer and Black Wave events and podcasts series curator. The immensely cinematic sound of 'Imaginary Freedom', developed from creating soundtracks for various theatre performances and movies, syncs together the lines between Moog Modular System, live instruments, field recordings - coalescing together organic and electronic frequencies.

With a well-established signature of dark polyrhythmic realms, @sungenam has been widely recognized thanks to Delft’s @mirrorzone imprint, with a release worthy of the attention of the Amsterdam multidisciplinary @minimal_collective. @stagno-records has included a peaktime psychedelic track from the Dutch talent himself, within a VA that includes a series of parallel productions chosen mainly from the Italian peninsula. Sjoerd maintains an enigmatic and illusory approach when it comes to sound design, choosing elements of nu-tribe and transcendental techno, while for live mixing he focuses on ethereal dynamics, emotional reflection and ancestral echoes.
