it’s 9 AM, you’re in a bathtub, you put your head under the water, everything gets fuzzy.
‘life is good’ you think ✧

“Decolorized idylls” somehow feels like seeing a blurry mirage or falling asleep in a bath.
Hiroki Yamasaki (running an absolutely brilliant Ukiuki Atama label) proves once again that he’s the master of ambiguous soundscapes always being soft and sharp / calming and unsettling / new age and post-internet / cute and spooky / ₍՞◌′ᵕ‵ू◌₎♡ and (･:ﾟдﾟ:･) at the same time.
so good to have him here in glamour ♡

"This album, as the title suggests, is a decolored version of the pastoral soundtrack. Density is reduced and gaps are left open. I leave it to you to fill in the gaps."

First single from Thoughts on Manifolds (GEN050) by https://soundcloud.com/blankws out on August 28 on Genot Centre on tape & digital.

Thoughts on Manifolds (GEN050) by https://soundcloud.com/blankws is a feather light, mixed-material showroom of synthetic objects, constantly rolling, constricting, zooming, bubbling, evoking some vast space. Impossibly thin, transparent foil, crisp, ice cold fluids, metal on rubber impacts etching elaborate diagrams and schemes into ambiguous, lush techno-reminiscent chords. The sound arrangement here is akin to a granular breeze, like an alien meteorology, a particle simulation turning into a textural primordial soup. Constantly in acceleration or deceleration, the listener knows every vast saturated pad is seconds away from the rush of a blast-off, almost intolerable G-forces, images flashing in front of one's eyes, bullet-like hard pans. These operations are like a valve being turned, the sudden pressure release causing a stream of some noble gas being set free, or opening a shutter suddenly providing a flicker of light highlighting the contours of some cavernous lost zone.

The 38th release of katharsis and our final release of 2023 is the prodigious compilation "Embracing Darkness, Absorbing Light" featuring a vast array of artist beloved by the label. Throughout the grandiose line-up of the 36 tracks, the listener is absorbed by various differing interpretations of the theme outlined in the title of the album. Some of the invited artist went full into introverted progressions and meditative sounds, while others focused on aggressive rhythms or anthemic melodies. But even though the styles and techniques of the songs differ from each other, the artists seem to have some commonality in their sonic palettes that binds it all together in a mutual love for music as a healing force of nature <3
