Holding the tension of opposites is a theme running throughout the work of Angelo Harmsworth, and the six pieces comprising Vent are certainly no exception. Inspired by the different and oftentimes clashing forces comprising our weather systems, the New Mexico-born but now Berlin-based musician and producer envisioned his “compositions as micro-ecologies,” wherein “powerful waves push off one another.” The patterns emerging from this captivating music represent some of Harmsworth’s most complex to date. Swells of foreboding frequencies and jarring maximalist textures may bear down on listeners, yet an undercurrent of bliss–so deeply submerged it borders on the subliminal–manages to infuse even the most tumultuous moments of Vent with a calming groundedness.


And also like the climate, especially in the age of the Anthropocene, this cassette unfolds in ways that are profoundly unpredictable. An artist known for his ability to span the divides separating underground noise, sound design, ambient and industrial, Harmsworth ensures that each successive piece makes a radical break from what preceded it. This quality becomes particularly apparent when contrasting sides. The nearly harsh-noise, distortion-charged moments punctuating Side A are nowhere to be found on Side B, which reveals moments of vast, spectral beauty that reflect his roots in the desert landscapes of the American Southwest.


Of course, this kind of sonic breadth only comes with experience, of which Harmsworth has plenty. Steadily recording and releasing experimental music since the early 2010s, he has worked with some of the sub-underground’s stand-out imprints, including Angoisse, Bathetic Records, Total Black, and Opal Tapes. Placed in the context of his impressive catalog, Vent can be seen as both a continuation of what came before and a bold new development.



Angelo Harmsworth is a musician & sound artist whose works tends to fluctuate between austerity and decadence. Currently based in Germany, he has been published by a network of experimental labels in addition to his own imprint, Lime Lodge.

VENT

ENXPL15- ANGELO HARMSWORTH - A1. AEROSOL

The 33rd release of katharsis is the EP “unearthed, recovered” by the Canadian artist online threat. This release pulls from the dissociated feeling of re-discovering artifacts of remembrance that were once thought to be forever lost, and finding a glimmer of hope as a result. The project accesses a flurry of genres - hard trance, noise, and ambient all find a place here, packing contradicting sounds together in order to birth new sonic possibilities. “unearthed, recovered” is emotional, grotesque and at moments beautiful with its sense of longing and melancholy, a crescendo of tensions followed by an exhale.

On this release, online threat excavates the hidden sonic potentialities of field recordings, samples and synthesis, borrowing their voices to spin immersive narrative tales through his stream-of-consciousness improvisational method. The EP is the artist's third release, following the EP “Memories of Dawns Lost” and the full album “Contrapuntal Transfiguration” on labels surf and Absurd TRAX, besides a couple of self-released tracks and mixfiles. The artwork was made by Matej Mihevc ( @h.265_/ ) who framed and contextualized a painting by Victoria Palacios ( @victoriapalacios_ ), reflecting the sense of decay and reminiscence that the album thematizes.

Kilou "Clinky Breath" [ICO13] 

Bandcamp/streaming https:/song.link/clinkybreath 

"This project consists of songs from the last one or two years and describes the longing for warmth and at the same time feeling comfort in the melancholy of winter. Sunbeams melting away the snow and blades of grass appearing underneath, but you can hardly see anything through the glittering mist of your breath. It is freezing cold,"

Blown by the Wind : Vocal Pack Preview

If you‘ve been following the sound of neo-grime and wave music for the last couple of years, there has been no way around @eonesoundsuk.
The Brighton-based producer-powerhouse, DJ, lecturer at Point Blank Music School, and all-around top lad has assembled a deeply emotional EP for us, which we are happy to share with you all.
Ranging from 130 to 150bpm, it features 3 tracks, that clearly focus on one thing: to make you feel!

LOVE AFFAIR confronts you with the sense of longing for something quite undefined, but definitely out of reach, bathing the listener in razor-sharp, glacial soundscapes.

SPIRIT sparks that cinder of hope, that’s been inside you all along, but you forgot how to grasp. In an astonishing array of arpeggios, it pushes you forward while simultaneously triggering a familiar melancholy.

LOST is the fastest composition of the bunch, solidifying the foundation that the previous tracks have established.
It features sublime pointers to video game and rave culture while being rhythmically adjacent to UK garage. Faint vocal samples feed into nostalgia, which makes this the perfect round-up for the EP.

PS: It’s okay to cry in the club. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!
