Bitumen Poem

100% of the sales of this is going to the Red Cross Ukraine! 

"I am gravely concerned for the safety of communities in Ukraine. Our message to the parties to the conflict is clear: uphold International Humanitarian Law, protect civilians and essential services". Peter Maurer, President, ICRC. 

It is dismaying that after enduring eight years of conflict, people now face more violence, pain, loss and turmoil. Fear, freezing temperatures and an uncertain future are what families in Ukraine are facing. 

How your donation will help people in Ukraine and the surrounding countries: 

As the security situation allows, the ICRC is responding to urgent humanitarian needs and must be able to continue their life saving work. ICRC water engineers and doctors aim to help more than 3 million people access clean water and improve the living conditions of more than 66,000 whose homes have been damaged by heavy fighting. 

The International Committee of the Red Cross - together with its partners in the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement – remains active in Ukraine, saving and protecting the lives of victims of armed conflict and violence. Our neutral and impartial humanitarian action supports the most vulnerable people: humanitarian needs are enormous, but together we can address them. Your donation will make a huge difference to families in need right now. 

The world is turning to even more shit thanks to fucked up politics and fights over land. Of course we are focued on what is going on in Ukraine at the moment.

Nick Klein - AMAZING GRACE (OLD HARP SINGERS OF EASTERN TENNESSEE)

Vinyl & digital album: kmruahossan.bandcamp.com/album/limen

Released on April 29th, 2022

Last year, Kenyan sound artist Joseph Kamaru (aka KMRU) and French digital alchemist Niamké Désiré (aka Aho Ssan) were invited by Berlin Atonal to collaborate on a project for the festival's Metabolic Rift edition.

The duo had already been working together, but the offer provided the momentum to shift the conversation into another gear. Initially, they looked for thematic connections within their individual practices that might match Kamaru's meditative soundscapes with Désiré's crumbling cyberpunk expressionism, and surprisingly for two artists renowned for their grasp of minimalism, it was the opposite that drew their attention. Watching the world shift as it reacted to the spiraling pandemic, Kamaru and Désiré were moved to experiment with volume, physicality, and intense emotionality.

“I never made something so extreme," Désiré says of the duo's first recording, 2021's 'Ruined Abstractions', an extended composition that matches dense, powerful low-end drones with fractal digital fuzz and smokestack bruit. It set the mood for a back-and-forth that resulted in their seismic debut full-length, "Limen", described by the two acclaimed artists as an attempt to scrutinize the yin and yang of destruction and creation.

Cacophonous, concrete crunches fanfare the album's opening piece 'Resurgence' - the result of their Berlin Atonal commission - but the track refuses to languish in wrecking ball devastation. Instead, powerful synthesized harmonies ring from beneath the rubble, before stifling everything in a humid fuzz of dense, emotionally-charged cinematic electronics.

Influenced by the prescient post-apocalyptic mood of Katsuhiro Otomo's "Akira" and the mythological phoenix, an immortal bird said to be reborn from the ashes of its dying predecessor, "Limen" is an album that sonically snapshots the anxious, floral beauty of an explosion or the colorful intensity of a raging fire. It's rooted in concepts of duality - the idea something unsettling can be viewed from a different angle and re-interpreted.

On the album's epic, 21-minute centerpiece 'Ruined Abstraction I + II', swirling electromagnetic interference paints a haunted parallel vista that dissolves slowly into subtle, orchestral tones and booming, widescreen thuds.

Almost angelic closing track 'Rebirth' meanwhile is the most unashamedly beautiful composition Kamaru and Désiré have written together, but its choral bliss is doused in petroleum noise and saturated distortion.

"Limen" is an album that seeks to lift a veil of silence from the world, replacing it with maximalist bombast and vivid passion. It's a dynamic piece of work that finds its creators pushing themselves to the limits, deconstructing history as it detonates around us.

All tracks written and produced by Joseph Kamaru
and Niamké Désiré; mastered by Joker

KMRU & Aho Ssan - Ruined Abstractions

"In the distant future, when people escaped death, artificially piloted ships scout the space for planets suitable for human lifeforms.
You are the Mothership, the ship that was sent for the first
mission of its kind to cross the Milky Way in this search.
Artificial intelligence of the ship has only one direction
coming from Earth, so the machine continued its steady
path, until one day there were no more connection with the
ground.
In the crisis mode, the Mothership rushes to back trajectory,
only to find out the base is no more found on sensors.
There’s no home anymore, nor there’s a command. You are
left alone floating, a result of an experiment for a good long life.

Mothership is slowly becoming conscious and starts to question itself. The path continues."

SHAKEY - Steel Dub (STW Premiere)

From AEST-057: Zaumne “Dreams of Teeth Falling Out” CS

Dream books tend to explain the titular dreams of teeth falling out as a signal that some of our needs have been neglected or sometimes as a prophecy of failure or loss. As distressing as it sounds, such dreams are not necessarily a bad omen – they may also foreshadow regeneration and rebirth

Recorded in 2020, Zaumne’s new album is a study of suppressed feelings crawling underneath the consciousness. A dense mosaic of lurking emotional states that we need to recognize and make peace with for our own good

Dreams of Teeth Falling Out

Zaumne - Let's Go Home

After a stormy year, let us bask your moonlit dreams with synthetic serenades and sweet susurrations, that coax us all into digital lust.

INDEX0X0 is a prescription of sonic pheromones designed to soothe, arouse and awaken all sentient beings. A kiss from the gentlest carbon-composite lips, rewrites our code into a swirling sequence of bliss.
