Album Story:
The direct sequel to 'Dragon Rising' 'Red River' takes place over a Century around 340 BCE to 232 BCE during the rise of the Mauryan Empire.

Following Siddhartha Gautama's death for over 140 years the region rapidly transitioned from a Dynastic rule to an Empire sprawling with cities, trade, art and education.

The partly fictitious story follows the fabricated assassination of Ashoka by a Blacksmith from the Mauryan Empire whose entire family fell victim to The Kalinga War. The legend says 100,000 people were lost in the war which turned Daya River into a red bloodwater. Regardless of Ashoka's plans to promote peace the aftermath of the war caused a never-ending rage towards the Empire by its own people which eventually led to the downfall of Mauryas.

Kautilya's 'Arthashastra' provide details on the art of statecraft during the Mauryan Empire.

Process Of Making The Album:
'Red River' uses recordings and sounds of Bell 407 a civil utility helicopter as the main body of the record together with a 47-year-old Harmonium, Field Recordings at Chandraketugarh, custom built Woodwind Prototype V3 & V4 together with Guitar, Violin & Vocal Improvisations.

The tracks 'Dragon's Descent' & 'Recycle Accession Succession II' utilize 'Dragon Rising' CD as a plucking/hitting tool similar to a Guitar Pick.
Additionally, recordings of a Hair Trimmer Nova NG 1150 were processed heavily to resemble Mongolian Throat Singing in the track 'Crossing The River'

Lifeswitch

Nathan L. is a producer currently based in Berlin. They arrive to Realist off the back of the [LV.SNGZ] EP, one of 2025’s most head-turning releases, the culmination of many years’ work in a computational avant-garde. As much a culmination as the stimulation of a new beginning, NhL’s recent work exemplifies a development in the corpus of hyperglitch, matching technical exploration of the soundscapes of computational noise with investigation into the lives ravelled, contorted and performed in online and digital spaces, as well as further play with the audial potentialities of the computer and web as instrument. There is yet the extreme subversiveness of a music built from codified stammers and algorithmic rupture, but it gains now an intertextuality, a biographical element even, where the destruction of glitch is a means of articulating the ecstatic wasteland of the digital… where bodies are reshaped in a vortex of labyrinthine élan, of fan-communities and livelihoods sycophantic, cultural exchange and intertextuality where personhood is composed of the indefinite and abraded incorporeity chartered by this chaotic noise.

NhL’s Realist mix is a furthering of this world. Voices range from those of the obsequious YouTuber, petitioning our allegiance, to samplings of Japanese media, to voices reduced not to linguistic legibility but a choral thrum, incandescent in their heavenly incoherence, all posed alongside the shattering percussion of glitch. No longer an illustration of solely the instrumental possibilities of hyperglitch, this is an evincement of hyperglitch as a language for the articulation of new bodies, souls and skeletons refound and visible only in a surplusage of bits and data, entities like a cascade of perforated light, bemired in a canon of infinite disappearance. It is an articulation made possible by NhL’s combination of supreme creativity and mischievous bravery. It is an articulation only explicable when encountered. And this encountering an audacious, perplexing and the embodiment of an exigent, essential music.
