Sanely deforming my remembrance
From which I leap to life again
 I walk into waves, they don't cover me
But I know the sea the same way
 Not knowing the air that smothers
As if the wind only blows for the waves
And the vital fluid smells only like blood.

For the forgetful, insensible onlooker, silence will indicate peace, acceptance, even dullness. The inner truth will not be revealed to this observer. This learned silence has grown watered by absence of compassion - an armor of thorns to protect from a feelingless environment. There is no doubt: one day the truth, enriched by sorrow and ornamented in grace, will burst out of their chest. It is only a question of whether the screams will be heard.

The debut LP of Reece Thomas, formerly known as Alocasia Garden, is a highly personal and bravely revealing story titled 'Dysphoria'. The seven songs candidly express inner forces tearing one apart; a harsh struggle of dissonance and harmony weaves into a beautiful, yet anguished, whole.

On Hold (from "Flood Management", 2023)

American avant-electronic musician and essayist Bret Schneider holds no institutional allegiance to one artistic medium. His background encompasses a wide range of work experiences and reveals a man who is connected to the world around him in complex, alienated ways. His thoughts on music and philosophy are intertwined into a billowing exposition. But when exploring the dark recesses of his more aural works, there is an inherent flexibility. Phasing percussive elements and frayed droning lines all lead to a perpetually shifting feeling for an aural uncanny. As fractured as his music can be, there is a dim spark of rumination that threads through his synthetic machinations.

On his latest release, “Xilinx,” Schneider taps into a primordial electronic noise—the kind that rests just on your periphery, unwinding itself to reveal myriad sordid circuits and disjointed projections. These tracks maintain a wired mania, expressing an unsettling undercurrent of ragged repetition and warbling drones. There’s an unexpected elasticity to Schneider’s cabled rhythms, and they often shift across several temporal lines before turning inward, struggling to illuminate an intimate dissonance or imagine a multi-chambered core. Displaying a raw and unusually concise knowledge of how these sounds might fit together, “Xilinx” is part zoetrope, part post-industrial dreamscape. It is an inquiry into the idea of internal movement, a contorted experiment in musical patterning, and an experiment in self-replication.

After two cassette releases for the likes of Tokyo's Solitude Solutions and Barcelona's Angoisse, Motion Ward is delighted to present the debut of Kouhei Fukuzumi's Ultrafog project on the vinyl format. "How Those Fires Burned That Are No Longer" weaves through sliding metal timbres, textured air abstractions and wistful mallet sequences. This record, like all of Kouhei's work, is a take on sound as a representation of memory. Light and translucent, each song aims for a temporal snapshot that will inevitably fade into the well of thoughts and experience.
