The Art Of Self Sabotage

SMIL3 ft Lag Switch, Tati au Miel, and Blood of Aza

Ferocity gives way for tenderness as @bungalovv becomes the latest @genomeshanghai inductee. 

Oozing gentle optimism, ‘Visited by Strangers’ takes a different approach from earlier work. Where records like ‘Donde Hubo Fuego’ established a direct, hard-edged style, this one shifts emphasis to introspection. It’s also a product of the pandemic; the remote nature of its various collaborations speaking to an elusive sense of community and belonging. 

Complete with auto-tuned vocals courtesy of Catnapp, our premiere finds sublime tension in a cinematic arrangement of field recording and synth.

'Visited by Strangers' is out March 31st on Genome 6.66Mbp.

On Misinput Tycoon (GEN052), https://soundcloud.com/fausto_mercier returns to Genot Centre with an album full of intricately engineered, futuristic sound explorations. Quirky, syncopated, even grimy melodies emerge between sounds reminiscent of cinematic automatic sliding doors, plasma-filled light cannons and full-spectrum boot-up sounds. The approach is bio-mimetic, elastic, fizzy, accelerating and decelerating, like listening to a process of wringing out an artificial fabric, or rupturing ultra-light fibrous materials in incredible resolution. More than ever, this album is littered with colorful, even contemplative segments: having an orchestrated, playful feeling. But make no mistake: more than mere intermezzos, this only a further dimension of the album's depth, the bright timbres ready to interface with a stroboscopic, liquid, granular counterpoint at any time.

// Roland Nagy (https://soundcloud.com/fausto_mercier) about GEN052
“I’m constantly watching pixels since I was 5. This album reflects wasted time and digital traumas. MISINPUT TYCOON is a sequel of my FULLSCREEN album from 2019 (also on Genot) - a sonic playground that feels much safer to me compared to my previous works. Also, it's the first album I made without hearing „What would XY think about this track?” in my head. These are my hymns for healing from the digital core - hope it will help.”

// BIO
Roland Nagy (he/him) is a Hungarian sound engineer, ex-media arts student and producer. Ever since 2016 he has released music under https://soundcloud.com/fausto_mercier moniker on labels like on EXILES, Kaer‘Uiks, Pointless Geometry, Infinite Machine or Genot Centre. His work in the field of electronic music production, while resonating with hardcore digital culture and bouncy rhythmic heaviness, is closely connected to his fascination for natural soundscapes and their fractal nature. In particular, Nagy skillfully manages to depict a violent, tense world populated of minuscule yet grand sound variations, intertwined in a web of apparently chaotic textures. He was part of Shape Platform roster in 2020.

The 34th release of katharsis is the album “A Shifting Presence” by Belgian artist Lilac Pavilion. The album subtly explores a theme of seeing the beauty in the mundane resulting in unassuming gratitude for life's curious ways of dissolving our fixations and transforming the meanings of things. The existential curiosity of the artist is vivid in his fragmented, noisy and yet very clean sonic palette, but also reflected in the emotionally charged titles of the tracks of the album.

“A Shifting Presence” is Lilac Pavilion's most elaborate album to date, following his previous albums 'Concealing A Trace Of Exile' (2019) on the Australian label Vienna Press and 'Lure' (2018) on the Antwerp-based label Audio. Visuals. Atmosphere. On this novel album, Lilac Pavilion delves into a pristine and digital expression, moving a tad away from his earlier more rough and tape-influenced soundscapes, though still containing a special kind of aural rawness.

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.

Jenn - The Exit (feat.EKSE)

sysadmin's second addition to evo-natura's catalog is the captivating two-tracks drone EP "2".

The project features the mesmerizing compositions "Sickly Sweet" and "Enigma," both centered around mournful progressions that gradually evolve over time, where decay becomes an art form, creating a contemplative atmosphere that exudes a soothing aura. Within the gentle embrace of the pieces, themes of forgiveness and awareness intertwine, leaving an open invitation to explore the depths of emotion through sonic exploration.
