Asāvāri is the North Indian raga performed in the late morning hours, which evokes the moods for anguish, love and melancholy.

I have used textile pattern, based on various repetitions, which could be related to time perception in Indian cosmology. 

According to Indian philosophical tradition, time is cyclical, but not in terms of different Western interpretations. Indian cyclic time doesn’t involve a mechanical repetition of particular. Even cycles are the same in type, but they are not the same in detail.

In order to achieve it, each performer has been encouraged to improvise by changing some details within the framework of the cyclical time. Music unfolds in a process of continuous development and it constantly renewed in performance of cycle inevitably follows cycle.

The World Premiere was performed by Ensemble I’Itineraire: Julie Brunet-Jailly, (flute), Juliette Adam (clarinet), Lucia Peralta (viola) and Manasonics: Benoit Delbecq (piano) and Steve Arguelles (percussions) at Sonic Art Research Centre, on 25 November, Belfast, the Northern Ireland, in 2023.

The work was commissioned by the du Ministère de la Culture/Direction régionale des affaires culturelles d’Île-de-France in 2023.

Forgot How To Fight (Part Two - Welcome to 2030: The Terminator Sequel)

The brief for this week’s Disquiet Junto challenge noted how the singing of ‘Happy Birthday’ often falls apart around the name stage … This idea of musical collapse immediately made me think of Anglican church services, when the organ - along with those who are confident of the hymn being sung - sometimes falls into desperately trying to pull everyone along, never far from falling apart. In this piece, a recording I made of a service I attended a while back (which has its own backstory) becomes the material for electronic mangling and rhythmic snipping for my take on the idea of repeated collapse. It’s VERY far from being in the same league, but parts of the result remind me a little of Jonathan Harvey’s extraordinary Mortuos Plango, Vivos Voco (1980) - one of my all-time favourite electroacoustic masterpieces ...

Softness (Water)
KAT x Primemotiv

A dialogue between sound and silence.
Softness flows like water, shaping what it touches, never forcing, always returning.
This first piece of the Element Series was born in the quiet space between us –
between Primemotiv’s wandering tones (@prime-motiv) and the stillness inside my words.

The cover artwork is inspired by a hand-painted tribe mandala,
created during my shamanic journey through the desert of northern Mexico,
a symbol of the four elements united.


Blessing
May this piece move like quiet water,
carrying the place where it was born.
Between your sound and my silence
may it touch softly
and return softly
to those who need it.

/
An artist is someone who creates or expresses ideas, emotions, or visions through a chosen medium, aiming to communicate, inspire, or evoke a response.

This definition embraces all forms of creativity—visual, musical, literary, or performance—and emphasizes the purpose of connection and expression rather than formal titles or external validation.

Brain Hop

Brain Hop is a musical genre invented by the artist FICTIONALIVE on Monday, December 1st, 2025, at 1:24 PM. The genre seeks to bring depth, intellect, and philosophical reflection into contemporary music, emphasizing thoughtful lyricism, conceptual frameworks, and cognitive engagement across styles. Brain Hop differentiates itself from much mainstream music by prioritizing meaningful content, complex themes, and a cerebral approach to structure, rhythm, and sound design.

The creation of Brain Hop responds to the perception that a lot of current music leans heavily on surface-level entertainment while neglecting intellectual and existential depth. It aims to provide an artistic space where artists explore profound social, political, and existential issues through innovative production and poetic or experimental vocal delivery. Brain Hop can interact with hip-hop, electronic, pop, or experimental traditions, but is defined above all by its focus on ideas and reflection rather than by any single beat pattern or instrumentation.

​As of its inception, Brain Hop is positioned as an emerging genre within underground and alternative music scenes, promising to attract listeners and creators who value music that stimulates both mind and soul.
