Stunt Double [AT​-​023] - OUT on 19/08/2021
Pre-order: https://absurdtrax.bandcamp.com/album/stunt-double-at-023

Baby genius, double-helix, twin guards. Paranormal mechanism. A stupid child in the woods. A stunt double is a parody of the actor.

"The process. And by means of the process..."

An origamic architecture. A skybox and its cycle. Splayed outward into a map, then refolded and enclosed around the camera. Plot holes and palindromes. Kneading, folding, plotting, cooking. Tension between ingredients and recipe.

"Talk went ambiguous. Abstractions passed as facts. A euphemistic language asserted itself."

Orchid bloom / perfect beauty. Clipping tools, steamy greenhouse, heavy water, hidden reefs. Stages and sets. Short-term improvisation. An Organization - branches growing independently and almost touching (crown shyness).

"I didn't solve anything, it just fell in on top of me."

Format: LP (Digital)
Cat. No.: AT-023

Aeondelit - Emerging Faces

Taken from 'Kleis' (G&P021) by Somaticae, out June 5, 2022.

Active since 2006 with multiple projects, evolved in countless DIY or festival performances & putting out a handful of hardline releases, on their latest project 'Kleis' out in May via Gin&Platonic, the Saint-Etienne based musician and respected performer Amédée De Murcia alias 'Somaticae' examines the disturbing concept of dichotomy, fundamentally shaping the world around us.

Being a follow-up to his noise, electronica and techno-oriented past releases via Brainstorm Lab, Lost Dogs ent. or In Paradisum, Kleis (meaning key in ancient greek) offers two iterations (the third is a cassette-only bonus) of an epic and raw, yet genuinely fluid sonic riddle. Composed and recorded during 2020 in Lyon, Kleis is a rebus encrypted with grubby drums, entangled irregularly like sonic tentacles of an octopus, unpredictably rolling on tossed with the cold streams of sharp noises. „The symbolism of the key has a double connotation since it has the power to open and close. It commands access to a place, inside a box, and to an acquaintance. Conversely, it can forbid this same access, so the key has both a role of initiation and discrimination,“ says Amédée.

@comastasis - Ross 308 EP
[PAYNOMINDTOUS, PNMTU005, out Apr. 29th, 2022]
* featuring remixes by @exmantera and @yikii *

Comastasis (he/him) is a producer and DJ based in Helsinki, Finland who manipulates an incessant flow of sound stimuli and sonic violence bursts in the shape of abstract post-club outings, influenced by grime and industrial music. After hosting “Stagnant” paynomindtous.bandcamp.com/track/comastasis-stagnant, one of his many remarkable tracks, inside our 2020 mammoth v/a compilation “WE NEVER WILL”, we are so glad to present you his latest work which furthers the producer’s investigations into heavily rhythmic, unsettling experimental music: Ross 308 EP.

Named after the proprietary commercial name of a particular breed of chicken, bred for life in atrociously overcrowded warehouses to grow as fast as possible (thereby often incurring dramatic health conditions leading to organ and bone failure) so to maximize profits of the corporate machine, the release revolves around the feeling of melancholy and world-weariness which, in the case of factory farming, has been condensed into a single physical representation in a time and space. The sound palette used by Comastasis captures the anguish and the stench exhaling from the slaughterhouses and constricts it into music. A perpetual swarm of stress-drenched flesh turned inside-out washing over you; a passing swirl of tendons snapping at the root of your ear with ASMR-like quality and putting you in intimate contact with agony and embedding you in their misery.

Ross 308 EP is composed of three original tracks and features remixes by the Finnish multidisciplinary artist @exmantera, and by the singer, poet, artist, and music producer @yikii, based in China. While the former provides a both rusty and sharp, clangy re-interpretation of the eponymous opening track which manages to even turn the knife in the wound, the latter offers an eerie re-interpretation of the Fermented Biomass composition in the form of an eerie industrial ballad, a dark, sneering lullaby for dismembered and mangled limbs.

as AI develops, it’s harder to determine whether only people have senses.
humans have discovered recently the next sense among robots and machines - they called it The 7th Sense - “randomness”. when given a particular task, they began to glitch. orchidvial tried to give machines free will and autonomy - the things that only humans are supposed to have.

✦

orchidvial
“when making this project i always had this machine or algorithm in mind, whose purpose is to generate simple music, which does not hold too much meaning on its own. like background music, which plays in advertisements for example... but for whatever reason, due to an error or maybe the system somehow gaining consciousness and being bored with its given tasks, the produced output sounds warped. the tracks are always deconstructing and reconstructing themselves, sounds and rhythms are appearing out of nowhere.“

✦

“SENSORIK” has been produced using also the 6th sense - “intuition”. the result is an incredibly pleasant experience for a human.
