x² CHAPTER II  -  SCOPED + HANNA. K

"Unkind Beats" is a masterfully executed fusion of characterful, intricate chords and classic 909 drum sequences. The pounding beat serves as an undeniable club tool, transmitting the energy of simplicity from past times to the present. A continuously evolving synthesizer line embodies the distinctive Ben Ritz sound. The symbiosis of these two dimensions appears as a merging of the past three decades, communicating with the experiencing individual's body and mind.

Eccentric soundscapes, cryptic atmospheres, unexpected rhythms - with the second episode of the Intelliance series, the concept label Augmented Research once again holds up a mirror to the progressive present and provides various perspectives on the innovative electronic club sound of the next generation.

[B2]
If an artist were given the task of dealing with vintage drums in the most innovative way possible, while at the same time retaining a sense of nostalgia, "Pragma" would be the clear result. Edict has broken the rules of classic techno styles, pushing polyrhythm and distortion to their limits.

[A1]
Raär's music manages to draw the masses beneath the surface of common perception. The blend of deep, organic atmospheres, liquid sound design and a supersonic beat awakens a deeply rooted but rarely accessible state of mind. "Riparian Zone" is definitely a tool for transcendental experiences.

[A2]
There are only a handful of artists like Nebuchadnezzar who have made a name for themselves and demonstrate that rules in electronic music are meant to be broken. "Fidget" is a good example of the obsolescence of obsessive genre categorization. Unpredictable rhythms and glitchy, whipping drums feel like a race against time (extended to almost nine minutes).

[B1]
With "Sea And Bunkers", Sukkube proves her virtuoso and versatile handling of modular sound synthesis. The rapid, loopy beat, accompanied by a serious and simultaneously playful melody and hissing atmospheres, generates a mysterious, fresh mood. Influences from different eras form an interesting symbiosis of futuristic, uplifting techno and nuances of classic styles.

VIVI. S
"Vivien Flavia Maria Sorrentino is an interdisciplinary artist and designer from Berlin, currently studying in Weimar. In her design and artistic practice, she focuses on the translation and materialization of progressive (typo-)graphic forms, pursuing conceptual, experimental, and material-based approaches. Her most recent work involves the critical analysis of the romanticization and institutionalization of cultural (transitional) rites, and the empowering appropriation and reinterpretation of these. She examines Western wedding traditions, such as the white wedding, and the role of the bride within them. As a historical parament anchored in Christian ceremonies, the medium of wax expresses transformation, transition, and change."

GRAINN.
"grainn is a composer, sound designer and audio-visual artist from Stuttgart, Germany. Combining influences ranging from the beginnings of computer music to his love for sound system culture and generative art, the young musician creates a dynamic DJ set full of texture and movement."

x² CHAPTER II - VIVI SORRENTINO + GRAINN

"Diving Solo" is the debut album of an artist who, after years of recognition under a different alias, has now redefined himself as "sr²." Central to this project is a deliberate departure from self-staging—shifting the focus entirely onto the art itself.

The album emerges from a deeply rooted vision that took shape over a decade ago. It navigates the fundamental questions of existence: the inevitability of impermanence, the search for meaning, and the quest to carve one's own path. Each track draws from formative experiences—from the electrifying pulse of countless club nights to the quiet, introspective moments that challenge our understanding of everyday life.

The tracks on this 9-track double LP transcend mere functionality; they evoke profound emotions and offer space for personal reflection. "Perpetuated on Canvas..." delves into how the first encounter with mortality can profoundly shape one's perception of life. "Diving Solo" inspires a break from conventions to seek at truly matters—even if that journey must sometimes be taken alone.

While the album weaves a coherent narrative, every listener is invited to discover their own nuances and shades of meaning within it. For, in the end, the artwork always extends beyond the artist.

LDS.
Our local hero LDS is playing a selection of his favourite ambient music together with his son Adam.
 
Kristin Jakubek.
"Currents is a 20-minute looping video piece accompanying a live DJ set by LDS, created for the collectives X hoch X and Augmented Research. The piece plunges viewers into a continuous visual journey through a dreamlike, subaquatic world—where the viewer drifts seamlessly from one aquarium to another.
Integrating AI-driven video and image generation techniques, the artist stitches together long sequences of filmed underwater footage with algorithmically generated transitions. The result is a meditative sequence of submerged environments—green-tinged algae tanks, murky aquatic chamber vistas, and fish-filled expanses—blurring the boundary between the real and the artificial.
The work eschews traditional narrative structures and hard cuts in favour of continuous, fluid transitions. These flowing narrative structure echo the transient nature of water itself and point to new possibilities for storytelling—ambient, immersive and in constant transformation. Through this fluid choreography of visuals, Currents proposes an alternative mode of guiding audience attention: not through directive edits, but through suggestion, motion, and atmosphere. 
This piece reflects the artist's ongoing exploration of how AI can be used not just as a generative tool, but as a method for rethinking narrative continuity, perceptual immersion, and the construction of visual rhythm."
