What a beautiful collab!  The title is sublime, too (big surprise that I'd like it, eh Masha? Hahaha).

In honour of our 3rd page being almost full, we bring you all an open collab opportunity.

We're about to launch our 4th Archmage Band page here on SC, and we thought it'd be nice to post a demo which serves as an open collaboration for a track that we call "Where the Circuits Meet the Spell" as a nice little closing piece for this 3rd page. (The rest of the tracks uploaded here will be reuploads, that were deleted due to not having enough room, or older tracks).

Feel free to put your own spin on this, as long as you credit and link back to us. No commercial use, please.

Update: We just launched our 4th page! Here it is: https://soundcloud.com/archmageband4

Where the Circuits Meet the Spell [Open Collab Playlist]

Charming Arp is my opening track into the ARPEGGIATOR album. 

Imagine a chord as drop that falls from a tap and splashes into a kaleidoscopic pattern.
The arpeggiator offers to modifies those pattern in so many ways.

Take a time out and spend some time to dive into this metamorphosing sound journey.

This is my first album as Elektrokaiser. It felt right to explore and share my experiments in more than one track.

I haven't decided yet how many songs this album should contain in the end. So stay tuned for more tunes to be released under the ARPEGGIATOR album.

In My Bad Dream

They do what they want simply because they can.   
I do what I can, because I am here.

They no longer feel the hypocritical need to justify their actions.   
I do not justify. I bear witness.

They speak loudly. They reverse the facts.   
I speak softly. But I do not lie.

Totalitarian culture does not force. It erases.   
I do not shout. But I trace. Even if it’s fragile.

The algorithm holds captive, but does not elevate thought.   
I watch over the moment. And I breathe in the present.

Meta thrives on noise. Amazon on speed.   
I watch over the link. And I breathe in the slow.

Exxon and Lockheed thrive on destruction.   
I do not thrive. I breathe. And I watch.

Violence is a drug. It excites, it justifies.   
I am not excited. I am here. Sober. Present.

Diplomacy is possible, but refused.   
I do not refuse. I extend my hand. Even if it trembles.

The world approaches universal death in a frightening way.   
I am not the universe. But I am alive. And I remember.

Russell and Einstein wanted to remember their humanity, and forget the rest. I am what is forgotten. And I remember.

The Algorithm of Impudence

Seli - Lateral Alice [OMM019]

°°
Joining Ommaya from CDMX, we’re thrilled to welcome Seli to the label for her new project, Lateral Alice. Written more than 2,000 meters above sea level in the forests of Tapalpa near Guadalajara, misty pine-covered highlands whose essence bleeds into the music, the EP radiates an atmosphere that envelops its laser-laden, breaky soundscapes. With glitched-out vocals commanding lines of zappy audio circuitry and unrelenting sub, each track is an experience unto itself.

On remix duties, Guadalajara-based artist Buena Tarde reimagines Usual Salt as a half-to-full-time head knocker, oozing with balanced dread and wonder. For the second remix, Ommaya co-head Sawyer James realigns Haloclina’s rattling percs and alchemizes them into razor-sharp fangs.

Where the Circuits Meet The Spell [Open Collab]

Where the Circuits Meet The Spell ft. John Musichead

Where the Circuits Meet The Spell ft. John Musichead - Instrumental

zonedout - CYBER RIFT (prod. phntmzn bR)

A newcomer steps into the shadows of the rave with raw energy and unfiltered intensity. This debut hard techno EP hits with relentless kicks, industrial grit, and warehouse-drenched atmospheres. No polish, no pretense—just pure, pounding techno born from the underground spirit. A first experiment that already feels like a statement.
