Theme

Sunrise

Each track represents an intricate audio world, awaiting to immerse you in exotic synthesis and avant-garde processes. Comprised of lysergic dna coded into the root structures, always spatially//spectrally metamorphosing in novel and unexpected ways. Prepare to be swallowed up by enveloping washes of elastic malfunction and sonic decay//decadence, recombinant phrases shifting and restructuring while strange timbres and interesting harmonics briefly surface and sink back into the depths. Music made for psychedelic experiences, custom designed to allow for the deepest level of immersion.. 

Let the dream begin. Welcome to Lysergia.

"Xlhol was a great heavy entry point, a rising monolith of sorts.... arcca was more intense, short but sweet and detailed, felt like I was being consumed by an abstract intelligent pack of alien wildlife, but enjoying it, embracing the exchange of energy, from my body to theirs.. wholistic body horror ;D withe was super classy, almost baroque, lysergic chamber music of sorts. All awesome all over." 
-O.E. Lewis 

This is going to be an ongoing project for the entire year, with new tracks will be added each month after the full moon! Stay tuned for more adventures in lysergia!

On January 1st, we're easing into the year gently once again, welcoming it with a mix to soothe your tired bodies and souls after the wild New Year’s Eve celebrations ପ(๑•ᴗ•๑)ଓ ♡

This time, the regenerating musical journey comes courtesy of @uszkogirl who will guide you through a story filled with ethereal, sensual sounds of mystery, water, and voices. Expect transitions through ambient, downtempo, and experimental instrumental gems. It’s magical, it’s light, it’s exactly how we want to step into the new year.

Treat yourself to this goodness, wrap yourself in this warm sonic blanket, and drift away before 2025 takes hold completely.

@uszkogirl, thank you for this delight

saga charlotte - hold it

The first track on South Korean-born, Netherlands-based artist Jiyoung Wi's (@jiyoungwi) 4'44" - a 'sound fiction' in the format part book and part CD. During her Sonology course in The Hague, Wi's recent work considers the relationship between the two mediums to alter the possibilities of narratives.

Structured as a series of letters opening with a one-sided transcript of a conversation, 4'44"'s accompanying audio tracks combine sounds collected through field recording and a reading of the transcript by seven speakers - in Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Bengali, English, Lithuanian, and Turkish. The use of multiple languages disrupts a single, cohesive cultural or geographical context for the text, further obscuring the identities of those engaged in the conversation. Such translation of text to sound acts as a prelude, drawing the readers into the disjointed world of 4'44". Intimate and surreal, the story follows a first-person narrator who relies on her fractured psyche for survival, chronicling the various stages of her mysterious illness.

he title reflects the layered conceptual and formal explorations of the work, appropriating John Cage's 4'33", lasting 273 seconds, often interpreted as referencing -273°C, or absolute zero, where all molecular motion stops. By adding 11 seconds, Wi creates an interval to reflect on "the other," mirroring the act of letter-writing, which involves both a sender (self) and a recipient (other). The resulting manipulation of time also draws on cultural symbolism, as the number four is often associated with death in many Asian cultures. Combining the suspended ambience of 4 minutes and 33 seconds with a brief yet charged speculative moment, the letters of 4'44" invite meditation on what lies beyond the self, at the edge of death.
