Through the haze we could make out hardly anything. Just the black line of the horizon. And in the distance the faint glimmering of the sea.

James Whipple returns from a long period of musical dormancy with his first full length LP for PAN since 2017.

As M.E.S.H., he honed a singular and unpredictable sonic identity on his debut album Piteous Gate. Re-emerging as Hesaitix, the now-familiar motifs have become streamlined, the sound palette both more refined and more elaborate. Even at its most abstract, there is an uncanny presence permeating the record, a convincing emotional reality with its own narrative and spatial logic.

Opener ‘Cusp of Unknowing’ announces itself with crushing low end synths feathered with delicate chimes before dissolving into the oceanic din of a data center. Rolling, engine-like subs mark the start of ‘Taurian Shade,’ a low- tempo percussive drive past iced-over chords and angular synth lines. ‘Geflatnet’ and ‘Volunteer’ dip into grooves bordering on nostalgic, referencing a misremembered golden era of electronica long-players. On ‘Santarosae (Black Dolphin),’ a sense of primordial awe comes to the fore, while ‘Black Line,’ originally presented as an audio installation in 2022, uses the human voice to explore a narrative approach to sound. ‘Noctian Airgap’ and ‘Anticrime’ return to syncopation and its complex moods, while ‘Subdermal’ and ‘Hypersea’ embrace repetition in service to atmosphere.

Hesaitix - Anticrime

"Growing up in Bucharest, I was surrounded by strange objects from a haunting past I hadn’t experienced. I’m interested in the living archive, the accumulation of different bits and pieces and the re-imagining of the future through a sonic approach.
I’m a collector: some things I keep on my phone or hoard under my bed, some I find online and in other anonymous corners.
For this sound piece, I was inspired by my family’s cassette collection from the 80’s. I pictured going through a big pile of tapes of lost content and stories about expectation, transformation, grief, desire, absurdity. It’s a journey to meet spirits of the past and the future."

"I also added this drawing I made for some unknown reason the weeks I was working on the music. I had a ton of fun and discovered many things while working on this project."

104 – Ana Bălan

From the depths of an intimate world where silence multiplies and transforms, Tendre Ael delivers her new EP: Thousands of Silences. Blending experimental folk, avant-pop, and dark ambient, this project stands out as a hybrid, elusive work. The tracks oscillate between tension and serenity, evoking fragments of solitude, resilience, and hope. This chiaroscuro comes alive through complex vocal arrangements, sequences of field recordings, and the repurposing of acoustic instrumental elements into a nostalgic, modern, and post-electronic realm.
