"I’ve never met Rod Modell (Deepchord) in person, but we have met through music. He found an obscure cassette of Chi music (from ’86), sent it to Astral Industries and paved the way for the release (30 years later) of ‘The Original Recordings’ in 2016. Since then, we’ve exchanged ideas and good music. I sent Rod a preview of ‘The Kallikatsou Recordings’ - he really liked it - and here came the idea for a remix of ‘Lanterns’. I started working on some random, lo-fi samples from Youtube, using Audacity, perhaps the simplest way of producing loops and samples. It’s the only computer based system that feels like the tape recorders I used to work with. I sent the first sketches to Rod on Facebook, but they ended up in the wrong inbox. I forgot about them, but months later he came back saying he loved them. I decided to go back to working on them, maintaining the lo-fi approach. I began manipulating the samples: time-stretching, tempo and pitch-shifting, mixing different layers and adding old-school monophonic “old speaker” effects, delays and loops. I used a few field recordings, voices and samples from my early ambient cassettes, and they matched. Ario from Astral Industries got involved and the experiment turned into a plan - a vinyl release - ‘Red Lantern at the Kallkatsou’”.

&RUE - Hyperthymesiac

Juliana Kaiser's debut EP through Puddle is an ode to the 'Río de La Plata' with all of its sociopolitical & environmental contradictions. On it, field recordings from the river and its surrounding areas intertwine with subtle and minimalistic synth lines creating a gentle narrative where the listener is free to navigate the space and complete the landscape with what is suggested but not said.

The material collated on this third release from Heavenly Music Corporation was composed specifically for St. Giga in Japan, a satellite broadcast radio station transmitting ethereal audio harmony 24 hours a day. What made this station otherworldly was its programming; motivated by tidal movements, the aquatic ebbs and flows of each day synchronised to the activity and intensity of the music broadcast.

Kraut Sounds - Remaining Spaces EP

Music for Whales, an ambient radio transmission.
Chapter 13: Adam Wiltzie & Brian Mcbride, Also know as Stars of the Lid. A musical poem made of the tittles of some of their best productions, literaly written and mixed following the same order as they appeared. Nothing else to say... Whales would not understand us.

"Supposed essay on the piano
our last moment in the song,
and by the steep hills of tears,
the slow descent has begun

Our atoms like sun drugs,
the articulated Silences,
and the evil that never arrived,
were the better angels of our nation.

Transforming  the country;
Guilt of Uncomplicated Thoughts.
A Gathering to Lead Me When You're Gone,
 into the Stringer to Light Feed Frenzy,
a fifth  Made Of Phantoms.

When I see the scissors I can't help but think of you,
i know that you dont like the future like i do
I will surround you...
Be small with me.

That finger on your temple is the barrel of my ray gun,
An Melodrames telegraphies,
chronicle of early failures…
It's this love song".
