Under the moniker Kagami Smile, Ryan Hill has explored a world of recordings, reminiscent of bursting, shoegaze-inspired electronic music. Via string of releases for Opal Tapes, Dream Catalogue and Forgot Imprint, Hill’s bodies of work have formed a cohesive yet sprawling practice of explorative composition, bringing together powerful flashes of broken techno beats colliding with melancholic ambiences.

On their latest album ‘Floating Underneath’, Kagami Smile builds on a foundation laid on their previous releases - amped and roaring drones & distorted kicks, which constitute a wall of sound concurrently hypnotic and deeply affective. Complementing its thematic outlines of romanticism and sentimentality, ‘Floating Underneath’s’ long-form compositional approach is an invitation to dream, sink, ebb and flow.

Produced, mixed and mastered by Ryan Hill

The Monarch - 2814 Is Kinda Chill Ngl

The six tracks that constitute Hypnagogia have been written during 2021 and partially inspired by the reading of Stanislaw Lem’s book Solaris. The title refers to a transitional state of consciousness from wakefulness to sleep, during which one might experience sensorial hallucinations and lucid dreaming, and can tap into the pristine structures of the subconscious.
Hypnagogia portraits an imaginary cosmic journey of the Self that crash ends into a blinding sun.

@iseeflame "Vultures & Thorns" [IC006]

The exosphere of old cycle scavengers predate the plunge of the serpent rider back into the abyss. Scintillating through the descent. Drawing back the obsidian arrows – straight through the heart.

In which where their bones of iridescent scales once lay; shall I the same. Wild stallions upon ethaxian plains. Mercenary mechatronic heatseek stampedes hone in on mutant carbon-based cruelties with circlets of red-dot iron sights.

In flames; be fauna, xae, and all flora. Engulfed. Forgotten in transliminality. Within these crystal tears, leads for the keeper of eyes to glisten. Hidden shrouds. Carcass amidst.

“I contemplate the soil as a wayward shadow which
The sun of the living excites (heats) not the dead.”

Ascension: for the moonstone jewels compose the crown of the crescent bride, bequeathed upon spirals of locks. On the thrusted skies, we would get nourished upon the source; the chariot of dawn to bask in the eternal solar ponds; suspended in light.

The phial and the blade.

Vultures and thorns.

Held - Cradled In

Final track taken from 'Fragments' ep 

On Fragments, knox weaves together a deeply textural, slow-burning meditation on memory, impermanence, and the quiet power of disintegration. Composed of salvaged sketches and discarded ideas, each track feels unearthed rather than built — ghostly melodic fragments drift through cracked ambient layers, buried rhythms, and crumbling tape textures.
