Cranioid - 2 Be With U

First single from Thoughts on Manifolds (GEN050) by https://soundcloud.com/blankws out on August 28 on Genot Centre on tape & digital.

Thoughts on Manifolds (GEN050) by https://soundcloud.com/blankws is a feather light, mixed-material showroom of synthetic objects, constantly rolling, constricting, zooming, bubbling, evoking some vast space. Impossibly thin, transparent foil, crisp, ice cold fluids, metal on rubber impacts etching elaborate diagrams and schemes into ambiguous, lush techno-reminiscent chords. The sound arrangement here is akin to a granular breeze, like an alien meteorology, a particle simulation turning into a textural primordial soup. Constantly in acceleration or deceleration, the listener knows every vast saturated pad is seconds away from the rush of a blast-off, almost intolerable G-forces, images flashing in front of one's eyes, bullet-like hard pans. These operations are like a valve being turned, the sudden pressure release causing a stream of some noble gas being set free, or opening a shutter suddenly providing a flicker of light highlighting the contours of some cavernous lost zone.

And as the add-on has detached itself - in it’s place - for this dream-based voiding - I cannot see another one with naked eye - to assimilate this part you say is also me - digging in soil. 

And as the add-on has detached itself - as it hovers above me - I could have been yet flesh - I could have been yet flesh.

Taking inspiration from the work of Olga Ravn, “Workplace Novel” muses on transhumanism and mind-body disconnect in a digital age, referencing the anti-human reductionism of corporate language.

The 38th release of katharsis and our final release of 2023 is the prodigious compilation "Embracing Darkness, Absorbing Light" featuring a vast array of artist beloved by the label. Throughout the grandiose line-up of the 36 tracks, the listener is absorbed by various differing interpretations of the theme outlined in the title of the album. Some of the invited artist went full into introverted progressions and meditative sounds, while others focused on aggressive rhythms or anthemic melodies. But even though the styles and techniques of the songs differ from each other, the artists seem to have some commonality in their sonic palettes that binds it all together in a mutual love for music as a healing force of nature <3

ELCA - Alteration

Brussels' wunderkind Kiche releases his first EP on MONTAGE! The 5-track piece of bliss discovers the formal rules of a ceremony. Through his signature sound of staccato digitalis -or bleeps and bloops in laymans terms- Kiche envelops us in the gestures necessary to perform a function. One has to come on time, wear appropriate attire and behave in the proper manner if one wants to keep their social standing. Do you wear a tuxedo to the club?
Throughout its length, Kiche's ceremony EP envelops us in synthblasts that sound like they could echo from an altar, but there is always a sense of cheeky fun peaking around the corner. In centerfold, little arpeggios sway in and out as a group of lovers playing at the back of the dance. Try to think of this music next time you're putting on your formal attire.
