Where we were falling, in a momentous spectrum
Every surface there concealed something once visible
Where the walls were coloured like the past life
You are there now, present in absence
Where we picked ourselves up from the soil we touched
Gathered ornaments from undisclosed fantasies emerged

World Canvas proudly presents Lost Memory 02 - A compilation featuring 11 songs from artists and musicians from different backgrounds and corners of the world.

Taken from Ursula Sereghy's debut album 'OK Box' (G&P019), out September 2021

With a background in playing jazz and formative years of playing saxophone in a live band, Prague-based Ursula Sereghy stepped out of the hustle in order to focus, all while becoming a regular at the local Synth Library. A space where she found support of the musically and politically like-minded, and could nourish her newfound passion for experimenting with machines and exploring the limitless possibilities of sound design. An extensive period of voluntary detachment from  everyday life during the pandemic gave rise to the stunningly confident debut album 'OK Box' fabricated by this dark horse of a producer.

if i could be an empty portal unto my love
each treeline would tremble
and the calculations which came on like a plague
could banish themselves into the blissful air

Wine Ft Susu Laroche

A collection of fearless love songs, inspired by Spring and the pains and ecstasies of nesting season. A gallery of lovelorn electronic ballads in the name of heartache. "Wild Love To Grow" is Eastern Nurseries' longest and bravest release to date, as well as the first to be presented physically as a double cassette edition.

"When I was alive, I aimed to be a student not of longing but of light."

Merely - The Killing Sun (Cotton Mouth Remix)

The 33rd release of katharsis is the EP “unearthed, recovered” by the Canadian artist online threat. This release pulls from the dissociated feeling of re-discovering artifacts of remembrance that were once thought to be forever lost, and finding a glimmer of hope as a result. The project accesses a flurry of genres - hard trance, noise, and ambient all find a place here, packing contradicting sounds together in order to birth new sonic possibilities. “unearthed, recovered” is emotional, grotesque and at moments beautiful with its sense of longing and melancholy, a crescendo of tensions followed by an exhale.

On this release, online threat excavates the hidden sonic potentialities of field recordings, samples and synthesis, borrowing their voices to spin immersive narrative tales through his stream-of-consciousness improvisational method. The EP is the artist's third release, following the EP “Memories of Dawns Lost” and the full album “Contrapuntal Transfiguration” on labels surf and Absurd TRAX, besides a couple of self-released tracks and mixfiles. The artwork was made by Matej Mihevc (@h.265_/) who framed and contextualized a painting by Victoria Palacios (@victoriapalacios_), reflecting the sense of decay and reminiscence that the album thematizes.

Dane Law - Algorithmic Music for Synthesised Strings
APR124 | Out April 24

Out Now: https://astralplanerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/algorithmic-music-for-synthesised-strings

'Algorithmic Music for Synthesised Strings' is Dane Law's (@thedanelaw) first release for Astral Plane Recordings, born out of a guest mix for NTS in August 2017. Across prior releases for Conditional, Genot Centre and Quantum Natives, the London-based artist has crafted a sonic space that merges pagan folklore, tensile algorithmic production and hyperrhythmic dance forms.

That NTS mix, titled “Digital Paganism”, was composed of a distinctly uncanny assemblage that drew from Arvo Pärt and The Wicker Man soundtrack. 'Algorithmic Music for Synthesised String's furthers the ideas introduced in “Digital Paganism”, a simultaneously explication of and alienation from its naturalistic tones gone haywire.

Across Algorithmic Music’s 12 songs, Dane Law’s delicate approach to composition is laid bare. Individual sound objects are isolated in space and rotated, forming plastic points in a series of eerie hymns. Guitar and synthesizer sounds are present, distanced from their quotidian origin points by an ascetic utilization of spatial mixing.

Built on MIDI files processed through a second order Markov strong algorithm, songs like “Running Hill” and “Southbound to denshaw” impose a certain music box familiarity, opening a portal to a world of skewed geometries where known forms are not what they seem. Meanwhile, the two part “Delph” saga embraces a spectral queasiness, morphing the ear’s ability to locate the shape of sound in time.

'Algorithmic Music for Synthesised Strings' is out digitally on April 24 and will be followed by a cassette release once regular trips to the post office are logistically feasible.

The World Is Ending And We Aren't 2gether (Magdalena's apathy)

Haunter Records is proud to present Left My Brain @ Can Paixano (La Xampanyeria) OST. A project five years in the making, dotted by contributions from dear friends Asaël Robitaille, v1984 and Marie Davidson; it is Osborne-Lanthier’s most ambitious work to date and, in many ways, an elegiac record. Largely composed and produced in the shadow of his mother’s passing, it also contains an another sort of elegy: to a infamous Barcelona restaurant that functioned as a daily stop for Osborne-Lanthier during a stay in Catalunya. It was in the midst of  that trip that he started adding sardonic, deranged experiments to his then-overtly serious, academic work. After his mother’s passing in 2016, nostalgia drove him to revisit a body of old recordings where he discovered something new: the sarcasm, self-effacing humour and proficient technicality he’d found so funny originally was now just a mask for insecurity and sadness. He set out to rework those recordings, reprocessing them over and over until their structures completely changed, until they’d gained such texture and depth they were no longer recognizable.
 
The music’s journey construes a multi-layered story, one only he can tell. The record smacks with a wet nostalgia that soaks into the concrete dryness of Osborne-Lanthier’s sound design, maintains a taste for intensity as a tool for immersive engagement. There’s a widescreen romanticism to these compositions, reminiscent of a vivid dream: the tracks are tactile and elastic, morphing rapidly from uncanny-valley EDM tropes to vast, sweeping expanses of sincere choral synths. Osborne-Lanthier sees the album as something of a concept cemetery; an overgrown plot that slowly filled to the brim with dead ideas; a mycelial network of thoughts and plans that never came true. The fruiting body of a fungus born from the nutrients of dead plants: an opus born from trash. 
 
For all of its absurd alien beauty, this is as much a record about being a musician as it is a record about making fun of music: as much an expert-level exploration of technical chops as it is an assault on the stupidity of technicality. Beautiful film-like ambient passages flow directly into weapons-grade riffs, fluid whirlpools drain into chattering synths and shrieking frequency envelopes. Ugliness and immaturity are not only preserved but elevated. The result is Osborne-Lanthier’s most finely-honed record to date — a reflection of what it is to be human: divinely uncategorizable.

Composed between 2015 and 2020 in Montreal, New York, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Milan, Tokyo, Stockholm, Osaka and Shanghai by Jesse Osborne-Lanthier.
Produced in Montreal by Jesse Osborne-Lanthier.
