Hoofprints 02 (FiveFingers)

Psyched to announce the debut of Los Angeles producer Nick Malkin [ @postgeography ] on OOH-sounds with 'At The Libra Hotel' [OOH-035]

Tucked in the heart of Koreatown lies The Libra Hotel—the titular architecture of Nick Malkin’s new album and site of his musical and psychogeographic exploration. LA-based, @nts_radio resident artist delivers a multifaceted meditation on the construction of memory and the transient nature of our fractured subjectivities.

The album + an extra limited edition of hand-cut 7" vinyl (with selected tracks) are now available for order - ooh-sounds.bandcamp.com/album/nick-ma…e-libra-hotel 👁‍🗨

Kilou "Clinky Breath" [ICO13]

"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,"

RAINING ARROWS ep16 ⏤ Solifuj4 invite Elisa Flores

“giant reptile tongue slowly u n f u r l s toward a looming cloud
home of spicy drops that pierce the air into tiny peepholes

these taste buds widen like pink pupils
they get bigger to let more flavor in
receiving is both greedy and generous
a will to be shaped by sensation
and the knowledge it leaves behind
a snail’s trail pointing to the exits in this ship

this tasty cloud swims over us
changing the color in everything
lips kind of blue, asphalt’s sparkle metallic
skin becomes oyster, translucent
taking in the light and giving it back
in the form of something that slides down
the way sweat may fall in a straight line
or make a turn to drive
around the temple

this cloud abducts the earth
by sudden temperature change
lack of sun makes plants and rocks turn inward
the sky now a sheltering vault
distributing the heavy weight of what’s above”

- Marta Núñez Pouzols

Sachi Kobayashi began making house music in 2017 but in recent years has shifted her focus towards ambient and experimental sounds. Kobayashi has sung in choirs since childhood, drawing from those experiences in her current focus in making harmonic ambient music. The liturgical aspects of her history in choirs is present in her work, which explores the theme of "the conflict between the sacred and the secular". Kobayashi also takes inspiration from nature and her surrounding environment of Saitama, Japan. Ever-broadening her artistic pallet, she has recently been developing and recording harsher sounds in the realm of noise music.

Irish artist Eamon Ivri (aka Lighght) and evo-natura's label founder Ioannis Nafpliotis (aka xato) present their two-tracker ambient / drone collaboration EP, 'Flown like dust / Glacial Endeavor'.

While the tracks have their own distinct sound, they both share the same main technique behind their creation: tape looping. Although it is a digitally made tape loop system, they both follow the ethos behind the analogue originator. With field recordings and improvised compositions, their existence serves to accompany you in different moods.
