The Sydney-based DJ and producer Ryan O'Rourke aka Obelisk (he/him) is an emerging name in the Australian contemporary underground club scene as an organizer of the experimental dance event series Nexus (instagram.com/nexus.eora/) and as an artist, holding releases on local compilations (@deep-scan-radio and @meganesia), and showcasing performances as both a solo artist and with the Winged Mantis duo, alongside Sydney-based DJ @index-exe. The work of Obelisk focuses on the interaction between heavy laptop electronic music and jungle/breakcore influences, mediated by a taste for raw aggressiveness and emotional grandeur that have been arranged in his debut release “Meta Bliss”, out today on our platform.

Composed of three original tracks, the release collects sharp, crystalline, and bursting compositions that feature fast and broken rhythms brilliantly juxtaposed with disfigured synths. While often indulging in the belligerent fury of knife-sharp percussions and booming distortion, the EP often crosses into spacious, euphoric melodies accompanied by frantic but cathartic, tempo-shifting drum work. Obelisk’s goal has been to investigate various ways of experiencing ecstasy and euphoria, whether by means of extreme, overwhelming rhythmic aggression, or breathtaking melodic refrains. While going through the 20-minute EP, one is brought to witness a daring descent into rush. “Meta Bliss” is the heavily cinematic sound commentary to some fast-paced, epic-scale, high fantasy encounter with angel-shaped, all-powerful beings of light under an immaculate sky.

Meta Bliss EP is completed by two remixes by the Sydney-based musician, producer, and DJ Ptwiggs (she/her) @ptwiggs and the Perth-based producer and DJ SUS1ER (he/him) @sus1er. Ptwiggs provides additional tones of darkness to “Illidan Bass” by crafting a 170 BPM deep drum and bass rework rich with clangy breakbeats, and diving deep into the obscurity of the industrial bassline. On the other hand, SUS1ER delivers the perfect closure to the release by re-arranging the opening track “Echoburst” into a 178 BPM hardcore anthem that preserves the emotional impact of the original all the way through the rawstyle finale.

Tracks 1-3 produced and mixed by Obelisk. Track 4 produced, mixed, and mastered by Ptwiggs. Track 5 produced and mixed by Sus1er. Track 1-3, 5 mastered by @wimdehaen. Artwork by K095C [instagram.com/k095c/]

Jenn leads us on a blood-pumping ride with SOMA, his sophomore EP now out on formforum.
@jennjennnnjenn
https://formforum.bandcamp.com/album/soma
With bouncy, yet disorienting patterns that keep you on the edge of your seat, SOMA cranks the tension to max, like a heart-racing POV horror movie, showcasing Jenn's reborn thirst for radical sound wizardry and alien club solutions.
As you navigate through the depths of this release, you may find yourself ensnared in an intricate web of sonic aberrations, questioning reality and wondering what lies around the next sonic corner. Jenn's immersive arrangements convey a sense of relentless pursuit, like sprinting through a dense, eerie forest with a shattered handy-cam, with the same crushing intensity of "The Blair Witch Project."
For this installment, Jenn joined forces with underground heavyweights Talpah, EKSE and TVVASTE, each of whom infused their unique poison to one of the tracks. The EP is completed by Ludwig Wandinger's remix, which feels like the theme of a game over screen. Finally, the chance to regain your breath you were seeking for.
SOMA invites you to surrender yourself to the unknown, to embrace the thrill of the chase, and to revel in the exhilarating uncertainty that lies within. Allow the ominous allure of Jenn's music to consume you, as you step into the dark and twisted sonic abyss he has conjured.

in another matter...

Out of the Water into the Flames

Out of water into the flames
Out of water into the flames

Waves shifting

Where’s your core? 
And how far are you from it?
Have you been shifting?
Disconnecting?
Detaching?
Dissociating?
Do you think about the start?
I’ve been thinking about the end
Disconnected from reality
Experiencing what’s real
Existence
Are you here? 
Are you listening?
Can you feel me?
My heart is beating
Why do we hve a physical form?
Aren’t we just waves?
Anyways
Out of the water
Into the flames

Into the flames
Into the flames

Are you here?
Can you hear me?

Out of the Water into the Flames

Dayrealease "Revery Intuition" [AD006]

"Inspired by baroque, free jazz, dubstep, and early rave. Fairytale melodies, crafted on a MacBook Air, intertwine with sheer reality, expressed through self-captured ZOOM field recordings and cuts from foley sample libraries. orchestral instruments and melodic bass create almost nervous, excessively emotional condition, taken placidly as if in a meditative state, with help of ASMR-like experimental drum patterns."

Bara & Isa is the project of London and Vienna based producers and singer-songwriters Bara Noha and Solo Isa.

With a light touch they combine sound material from various instruments such as
gong, harp, vocals, chimes, synthesizer, voice notes, field recordings, singing bowls, glockenspiel, tuning forks, flute, bells, guitar, electric organ, organ pipes, egg slicers, VSTs, friends and family into emotive compositions that could be listened to with ears, or described as _________________________________________-.

Ever since they released their first EP „pink sphere" in 2021 they have been exploring live performance in London and Vienna (most recently also Düsseldorf, their first gig away from home) and working out the meaning of life.

Être Peintre - tears are hugging my face

++ PRESENTATION ++

Scores +°-  glyphs to sounds !

+°°+--+
Scores is a compilation exploring musical notations and how they can be interpreted as sounds. People have always tried to translate sonic expressions into visual cues that could be archived, passed down, and transformed back into music. 

From symbols to numbers, grids, staffs, figures or abstract shapes, several languages have been developed and continuously questioned to improve the ability to retain the emotion and meaning sounds can convey - what lies behind the veil.
 
What if this time, the notation would come beforehand?

+°°+--+
The project unfolded in two phases. In the first one, visual artists from the Global URL Nation could propose one sheet of music score, free of interpretation. They were invited to play with musical notations and explore what it would even mean.
–
It welcomed chaggrin, Eurrope, M4X1US, MYEN, s1m0nc3ll0 & Ziyiz for 6 sheets


+°°+--+
In the second phase, artists from GUN could pick one sheet and create a track trying to follow it as much as possible. It invited them to question music as a physical object, with its shapes, colors, textures and layers with the following :

__How is the overall composition? Are there any axis or lines that could be interpreted as a timeline or a melodic scale?
__How many discrete elements are in the image? How are they laid out?
__What are the shapes involved?  What is their scale? Do they have sharp or blurry outlines?
__What are the colors/textures used? How do they relate with each other in terms of tones, contrasts…?
__How are the different elements layered on top of each other? Are they superimposed or do they merge in some way?
__How would they translate them in musical terms, such as textures, notes, structures, timbres, rhythms, dynamics? 

It welcomed Bademjan, Baje Nunca, C+Vis, Capiuz, Clair X, C.T.A.A.M.  Ecovoron, Epiphagi, HeedLess, Mambo Kahn, migu, POL100, Yau Hei ASJ & Ziyiz for 14 tracks ranging from ethereal scorescapes to hyperstimulating scratches. Sounds and shapes weave together, blurring the boundaries between the two media to create one whole entity

+°°+--+
With Scores, we invite you to seek the music that can be hidden in our surroundings, to decrypt and hear the phantom scores one can find in every shape, every color and every little visual detail __ open your ears and see the sounds, sometimes music lies in a simple fold of clothing
