On Organe Solaire (GEN051) by https://soundcloud.com/amselysen a coherent ensemble is presented consisting of digital, hyperprocessed textures, minuscule sound fragmentations and impassioned, pressing vocal broadcasts. Deceptively, the sound at intermittently even approaches something like a sugary sweet pop production: chord stabs, piano tones, heartfelt howling, energetic kicks, the whole works. The most powerful weapons in the electro-acoustic toolkit are used here: sound events occur on a microscopic scale, sliced, granulated, pitch-bent, resonant, bubbling, stretching - but at the same time have an impactful, cinematic, piercing quality. From the arrangement point of view there is a cryptic multi-centered, restless logic, with the trajectory of all tracks constantly getting out of balance, twisting, self-subverting. The human voice, or the remnants of it, form an important thread through this album; spanning a wide tonal, textural range, the voice material is sometimes vocoded, stuttering, crushed, resampled, fried, totally pushed beyond its limits; but at other times innately performative, assertive - a declaration of intent or active intervention, conveying meaning, communicating something important. Organe Solaire follows 2020's murky transmission Hypnagogic Surge.

// Hakeem Lapointe (https://soundcloud.com/amselysen) about the album
“My [Amselysen’s] second full length album’s focus, Organe Solaire, strays from conceptual music and goes on dissecting and splaying a dark but colourful sludge of emotions. A major point source in my compositional approach to the record has been imagining the trajectory of hyper-pop if it evolved with a more pessimistic tendency, with the same bells and whistles, but less shiny and squeaky clean — like the rainbow reflections of tar bubbles. 
Organe Solaire, unable to afford being cryptic, doubles down on honest, raw lyricism and is quick to open up, building a comprehensive musical and gestural language that reflects the narratives behind each and every track. They range from slow suicidal ballads, to demented hyper-melancholic pop, to interludes containing heavy narratives, like Discrepancies (for Kellyanne): a heavily filtered piano composition dating from my late teens, also acting as a hope to reach out to a long lost then-best friend.
I did not shy away at referencing personal idols who’ve inspired me throughout the years: The Labour of Love samples Akira Fuse’s Shikuramen No Kahori, a song mentioned in Joji Koyama and Tujiko Noriko’s feature length film Kuro, and matches its theme: gazing at the afterimage of a romance long gone. Post-modern Tsunami, as outlined by “shoutout to Hito Steyerl”, is made to the image of Steyerl’s Liquidity Inc.: in its wave-like structure; in its senseless meme aesthetic; and nods at its conceptual approach, dissecting contemporary culture with economic undertones.
To aid me in my efforts, I have called upon two outstanding collaborators to lend their strengths on the album. I’ve recruited the excellent Ubu Boi, providing tactful compositions and solid vocal performances, and the mysterious 2x|n, a.k.a. Seraphim, for precise sound design and incisive aural interventions.
Delving into romantic torment, drug use, artistic frustrations, struggles with mental illness, Organe Solaire brings forth a fundamentally human experience in the form of raw edges thinly veiled under a layer of gloss.”

The 36th release of katharsis is the EP “be there” by Belgian artist leop4rdi, coming out on September 4th. Throughout its six tracks, the artist shows off his unique blend of granular synths, etheric vocals, emo guitar riffs, and smashing rocky drums. This infusion of his cute kitsch vibes with obscure spiritual icons and cryptic intelligence results in a unique aesthetic represented on the artwork created by label boss jjjacob.

The EP is the second full release by the Brussel-based artist, following his stellar EP “a process of learning and understanding” on the magnificent label and collective Soul Feeder in January this year. His alternative approach and very personal style shine through on “be there” as well, the titles of the tracks representing intuitive associations from the artist's mind.

Three singles were premiered prior to the full release, "Out Of My Skin" - a beautiful sonic journey of emotive acoustic guitar, bit-crushed vocal wails, playful synths, and powerful percussion, secondly the downtempo & bouncy though aggressively distorted track "Focus!" with a feel of melancholic overtones and struggling attention, and thirdly the deeply melancholic ballad "Essence" starting with acoustic guitar chords and poignant vocal chops but ending with hard drums and overdriven synths.
