8ULENTINA’s debut full length album ‘Surpassing Disaster’ is coming out on March 25th via SILLAGE, the first single ‘AYŞE’ is out today on bandcamp.

‘Surpassing Disaster’ is a research driven sonic narrative, enmeshing the theatricality of acoustic instruments from Arab orchestral and folk traditions with electronic elements. Themes of resurrection, restraint, illegibility, desire and spirituality are explored throughout tracks that move within ambient, sound design, field recordings, and dance music.

This project engages with the past as an active collaborator instead of source of nostalgia, acknowledging the immaterial withdrawal that follows surpassing disasters and the process of making an archive and working within an existing one as an attempted act of resurrection. ’Surpassing Disaster’ references Jalal Toufic’s text ‘The Withdrawal of Tradition Past a Surpassing Disaster’. The record includes collaborative track 'GNIVILNI’ featuring cellist Rohana and vocals by Nana XOXO. GNIVILNI’'s vocals reference and abstract Assata Shakur’s poem ‘Affirmation’. The improvisational collaboration between 8ULENTINA, Nana XOXO and Rohana is a convergence of our individual practices of sonic experimentation, performance and research.

‘Surpassing Disaster’ is the first release on 8ULENTINA’s label SILLAGE, a curatorial platform for contemporary sonic artifacts.

AYŞE

"Illuminotecnica is a slacker’s exploration of ecstatic techniques in sound, echoing the free-form drift of elemental flows across the motherboard. Celestial data streams. Mineral rhythms loop in cycles within cycles. A glitch pulses at the heart of the sun while the sky turns green.

What reveals itself through divergent, simultaneous patterns?
What do we hear when we let the aural flood loose?

Set it free—let it spiral inside out. From the cracked shell, new forms emerge: thought-forms, feel-forms, signal-forms shaped by frequencies we don’t yet know how to decode. Shapes that shimmer at the edge of language. Emotions without names. Visions that flicker in the periphery—half-seen, half-sensed—like memories from a future that hasn’t happened yet."

Pre-order

Lorica - Red more red.

This is a prog/trance ode to water and the memory it carries - re contextualized melancholia into something triumphant. For this track, I reworked some synths on Yawning Portal's "Goodbye Forever" - so delicious 
thanks for listening ~ ♡ muah
