Holding the tension of opposites is a theme running throughout the work of Angelo Harmsworth, and the six pieces comprising Vent are certainly no exception. Inspired by the different and oftentimes clashing forces comprising our weather systems, the New Mexico-born but now Berlin-based musician and producer envisioned his “compositions as micro-ecologies,” wherein “powerful waves push off one another.” The patterns emerging from this captivating music represent some of Harmsworth’s most complex to date. Swells of foreboding frequencies and jarring maximalist textures may bear down on listeners, yet an undercurrent of bliss–so deeply submerged it borders on the subliminal–manages to infuse even the most tumultuous moments of Vent with a calming groundedness.


And also like the climate, especially in the age of the Anthropocene, this cassette unfolds in ways that are profoundly unpredictable. An artist known for his ability to span the divides separating underground noise, sound design, ambient and industrial, Harmsworth ensures that each successive piece makes a radical break from what preceded it. This quality becomes particularly apparent when contrasting sides. The nearly harsh-noise, distortion-charged moments punctuating Side A are nowhere to be found on Side B, which reveals moments of vast, spectral beauty that reflect his roots in the desert landscapes of the American Southwest.


Of course, this kind of sonic breadth only comes with experience, of which Harmsworth has plenty. Steadily recording and releasing experimental music since the early 2010s, he has worked with some of the sub-underground’s stand-out imprints, including Angoisse, Bathetic Records, Total Black, and Opal Tapes. Placed in the context of his impressive catalog, Vent can be seen as both a continuation of what came before and a bold new development.



Angelo Harmsworth is a musician & sound artist whose works tends to fluctuate between austerity and decadence. Currently based in Germany, he has been published by a network of experimental labels in addition to his own imprint, Lime Lodge.

lyrics?  

neva 2 be known 
neva 2 be known 

it's a gift, to be swallowed 
to be to be known

neva 2 be known 

I ache for the day you say 
I ache for the day you say 
I ache for the day you say 
I ache for the day you say 

I see you 
but I like you 
so I can't get to close to you

"When You Die" is a melancholic dive into the ruins of memory. On this album, Ramon Inc. explores the weight of nostalgia, longing, and regret—the ghosts of bad decisions, of loves that could have been different, of people we left behind or who left us broken. An ode to the past that, while seemingly brilliant compared to today's cold reality, is merely a comforting illusion.

Throughout the tracks, genres intertwine in an emotional and sonic narrative that ranges from ethereal synth-pop to vibrant hyperpop, passing through IDM pop, pop and alternative rock, neo-soul/jazz, and cinematic ambient. The journey begins danceably, almost hopeful, but soon delves into introspective, somber, and sensitive atmospheres—like someone looking at old photos trying to understand where everything began to fall apart.

Inspired by artists like Princess Chelsea, MGMT (more specifically, the album Little Dark Age), LA Priest, Sabrina Carpenter (current era), Jungle, TV Girl, CHVRCHES, Roosevelt, Grimes, and Loaded Honey, Ramon builds a universe where the brilliance of the past meets the weight of the present. Violins, pianos, synths, and broken beats serve as the soundtrack to an emotional, intimate, and visceral diary.

Audiovisual producer Kevin Loryan defined it: "When You Die is an incredible IDM album, but people aren't ready for it."
Maybe he's right—maybe this is one of those albums that will only be fully understood in the future.

When You Die isn't about literal death, but about everything that dies inside us over time—and what we do with what's left.

Oh grieve not with thy bitter tears
The life that passes fast;
The gates of heaven will open wide
And take me in at last.

Then sit down meekly at my side
And watch my young life flee;
Then solemn peace of holy death
Come quickly unto thee.

But true love, seek me in the throng
Of spirits floating past,
And I will take thee by the hands
And know thee mine at last.

THANK U ALL ♡

When You Die

I am telling myself the same lies over and over again, but I am working on observing them instead of being driven by them

same old LInES

Un abrazo donde la carne y la luz se funden en un solo cuerpo sonoro.
El violín arde como fuego dorado, el chelo tiembla como un suspiro humano, y los tambores laten como un corazón ancestral.
En su clímax, todo se disuelve en un resplandor: la música no distingue ya entre lo físico y lo eterno, solo queda amor convertido en energía pura.
