bod [包家巷] - and they would find ways

angel's corpse - GANGGANG_ILY_SLAY

Blood of Aza - Guilt

Following the events of "Annihilation", xato presents the second part of his personal odyssey, "Irrational Fear".

"Irrational Fear" explores the dark self with intense drone recordings being the main sound focus of the project, surrounded by field-recording manipulations and deeply evolving textures.

As the project's tracks aged between 2020 and 2022, it never felt like the right time to release the project. However things changed when the reasons behind the tracks were revamped in the more recent years.

Stegi | evo-natura presents: evo-lation five (feat. Ice_Eyes) ― 26th November 2024

The two headed dragon of forgiveness was born out of a four month residency in Hanoi, where Noah Rosa had the opportunity to learn from and record seven local musicians and various landscapes in Northern Vietnam. Sampling the artists’ instruments and unique techniques texturally, the use of a ultrasonic microphones was essential for the focus on the invisible details of dragging bow hairs and vibrating reeds. Location recordings were made in dripping caves, serene lotus fields and on the busy streets of Hanoi where the drone of motorbikes is a constant, deafening presence.

Upon returning to his studio in Montreal, the sculpting process of these recordings started with re-shaping them through webs of digital and analog erosion to reveal new spectral shadows—mirroring how the harsh elements shape Northern Vietnam's landscape of worn plaster and lush flora. From these experiments emerged the four phases of this work: dense dronescapes that flow through notions of suffering, emptiness, forgiveness, and ultimately transformation. Finding in the terror and beauty of our living world and its violent cycle of endless dying and rebirth, our great capacity for adaptation and change.

As a companion to this music, artist and creative web developer Jules Galbraith has developed virtual listening rooms, each inhabited by digital sculptures that respond to the work. Within these worlds, the sonic elements have been spatialized, allowing you to uncover new details and perspectives as you move through the virtual space.
