For his second solo album, Officium offers us a free and unrestrained journey through inner worlds, hazy stories, and ghostly traces. Throughout its eight tracks, Light Trap oscillates between immersive textures, impulsive basslines, and rough guitar chords, creating a subtle tension between softness and intensity.

Interlaced with the haunted voice of Lou (1/2 of Reymour) and the precise arrangements of Yolek, this album is the result of meticulous sound work, fueling a constantly moving introspective odyssey.

Light Trap paints a moving chiaroscuro image, like the last rays of light passing through the teeth of a trap, just before it snaps shut on the moment.

Light Trap

Officium - Light Trap (019CAF?) /// PREVIEW

systemnapotvora invites vvanya samokrutkin:
This mix is not just a compilation - it’s a complete reimagining and sound collage. Every sound and composition is reworked, re-edited, rewritten, stretched, fractured, and reshaped while holding onto its original essence - a layered sound collage consisting of multiple sounds and textures.

A defining element of this mix is its interplay between composed electroacoustic works and environmental sound phenomena. 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐧𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬 - 𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐒𝐞𝐚, 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐚 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟒.

These recordings act as sonic documents of an environment that, while physically unchanged, carries an altered geopolitical and cultural context.
Their inclusion reframes acoustic ecology within the domain of contemporary sonic practice, emphasizing sound's dual role as both an artistic medium and a historical artifact.
