Nuclear decay occurs when the nucleus of an atom is unstable and spontaneously emits energy in the form of radiation. The result is that the nucleus changes into the nucleus of one or more other elements. These daughter nuclei have a lower mass and are more stable (lower in energy) than the parent nucleus.

“Ábris Gryllus is a cross-disciplinary media artist and musician based in Budapest. He is well-known for several projects, collaborations and performative works with choreographers, sculptors, dancers and other musicians. As a tireless artist always open to new possibilities, Gryllus has worked on dance pieces, educational workshops and installations; he is one-half of the beat-oriented group FOR., and not least of all, he produces immersive electronic music under his own name. His solo materials include the frantic vocal-based ‘Canon’ (The Death of Rave) and two releases on Farbwechsel (‘Post_’, ‘A.D.’) that feature a rather focused, slowly forming approach to composition.

‘Nucleus of the Decay’ shares the fundamental, carefully sculpting method that is prominent on the aforementioned Farbwechsel releases. This two-track EP is a conceptual piece that reflects on life-changing events, biological or chemical processes and the overall bipolarity that is encoded into the course of a lifetime. Both pieces of the album embody the duality of a living, organic texture and its transience: at times, it can be graceful and splendid, at other times it can be distressing and overwhelming.

‘Parent I (with Thea Soti)’ is a gradually building opening track, starting with only a handful of audio channels of scratches, hisses and a high-pitched tone. In a smooth and subtle manner, the vocals of Soti then fade into the dense fabric of sounds that unfold, engaging in a plethora of expressions, supported by a bass progression resembling a chorale-like structure. ‘Parent II’ is centered around an instrumental piece, a string-like leitmotif surrounded by whispers and echoes that are bright and piercing, as well as light and cumbersome at the same time.

‘Nucleus of the Decay’ offers a sonic world that admits the struggle and joy of reflecting on one’s presence, and sees the captivating yet eerie nature of the inevitable future. Working with both purely synthesized sounds and real-life voices, Gryllus’ first solo EP at EXILES invites us to a place that is warm and harsh all at once, dragging us into a swirling torrent of ethereal whitewater.”

Que tal
tanto tiempo ya ni se como te llamas
que te pareció 
cuando me fui sin decirte adios
estaba confundida 
no se lo que sentía, perdida
no puedo regresar jamás perdonar 
se que tu nunca vas a cambiar
mejor guarda tus lagrimas pa la siguiente
que yo soy diferente, independiente de ti
nuestro amor llego a su fin
se que andas solo 
pero ya no hay razón de volver y saber porque te quiero
prefiero vivir con placer, con placer

amor

The 37th release of katharsis is the debut EP "Blå Forandring" by Danish artist Johan Jøker, coming out on November 17th. The title of the EP, which translates to "blue change" signifies the artist's intention to create a sonic backdrop for the effects of current climate changes on the vast ocean, which he achieves through collages of samples and field recordings mixed with the melancholic pads and abrasive stabs of his synths.

Across the five tracks, the artist aims to depict various perspectives and aspects of the climate crisis, including collapsing glaciers, the overconsumption of modern society, and fish polluted with plastic, but concludes the EP with a romantic and yearning depiction of the sea on the final track "Vandkorn". When showcased live, the performance takes on an almost ritual character as Johan Jøker brings a jumble of elements connected to contact microphones including washed-up buoys, an electric kettle and a bowl of water as well as a hydrophone.

All money coming in on this one will be donated to oceana.org/ <3
