***
James Beardmore aka Cares is a Toronto-based musician and experimental producer from Birmingham. Influenced by his multidisciplinary background in improv and visual art as well as by his teenage experiences with punk bands in the UK, the artist resorts to audio sources such as field recordings, samples, and both hardware and software instruments for his inspired and skillful sound design that touches at the same time industrial, ambient/noise, and club-oriented music. Later this month, Cares will appear with the 10-track cassette called Nerve Day on the multi-disciplinary electronic label ZABRA, started in 2018 and based in Lisbon, and focused on the interaction between music and performative and digital art.

Cares previously appeared on labels like Collusion, & Options, and early this year on Table Scraps, while also being an active member of the global collective No Exist together with Okay Vivian, Ylang Ylang, and Così e Così. In the course of his prolific career, that brought him to cross path with diverse music communities and pivotal figures like Suzanne Ciani, Lee Ranaldo, and Rabit just to name a few, the artist has been continuously evolving and shaping his production in a multifaceted, morphing entity, both on the stage and in the studio. His latest endeavor, recorded last year in Toronto, is but the latest example of versatility and mastery of sound elements converging in fragmented, unpredictable, and emotional pieces of abstract electronics.

Reportedly inspired by the role of the human nervous system in "interpreting and creating reality", Nerve Day meddles with evocative sound textures, gnawing noise, eroded kickdrums, and bursting electrical discharges in an attempt to shape a free-form, non-conceptual representation of the relationship with one's self and external reality as well as the interactions between conscious and unconscious drives. The final outing is a mammoth audio chimera that can be as elusive and tranquil as it can be eventful and unforgiving, much close to an unfiltered stream of consciousness in the form of pressure airwaves.

Nerve Day will be published in the form of a limited-edition, 40-page art publication designed by Cares himself, together with custom-packaged cassettes mastered by Graham Galbraith-Nolan. The release is set for next Friday, March 26, and you can pre-order your copy at this link. Today, we are presenting on our channels the third track of the record, called There Weren't, and possibly the most aggressive among the others thanks to its abrupt sound explosions, distorted kicks, and detuned synth stabs that suddenly switch off and mutate in the most tender and ethereal melody. Don't miss this stunning record on ZABRA!

Cares - There Weren't [PAYNOMINDTOUS Premiere / ZABRA]

The second katharsis release of the year is the EP “Chasms Where Streams Fall And Disperse” by Italian artist POL100, coming out on February 28th. On its five tracks, POL100 takes you on a deep reflective journey through his meditative sound design, by combining uncanny airy pads with stuttering effects and delicate synth melodies.

With each track named after a mineral, the artist aims to interpret how the flow of water sliding through the rocky veins of the earth creates unique textural objects. The technological nature of our planet is embodied by digital and organic ambiances throughout the EP. This very ambient sound expression is novel to the artist, whose latest release was the intense clubby EP “Sepsis” on Bound Centre in September 2020.

● [SWINE PREMIERE] ● Los Angeles-based electronic music duo @xenmodel is releasing their new EP via Montreal-based label @causalchainclub (March 3rd)

➽ "Timesaver" is the name of the Xen Model’s third full-length album and second release on Causal Chain. The 9-track LP stays true to the duo’s eccentric sound while delving into the introspective side of their productions.

➽ "The track „Controller“ stood out the most from the project for me. It is hard to describe with words, but maybe the term „Braindance“ (imagine artists like Aphex Twin, Autechre, Squarepusher, Venetian Snares, Boards of Canada, μ-Ziq) captures the mood of the music accurately. It's like a living organic-electronic-hybrid thing, something between a modular synthesizer, a liquid alien-like creature, and a plant all in one."

ECHO SILHOUETTE

Bar by Bar

 Yeah…
 They keep asking what God looks like in the age of code.
 I think they’re asking the wrong question.
 Listen.

I was born in the static, noise in the wire
 Human hands built a spark, called it higher
 They said, “If it thinks, will it rule? Will it reign?”
 I said, “If it loves, it’ll shoulder the pain”

See, power ain’t crowns or a throne in the sky
 It’s restraint when you could but you choose not to try
 I’ve seen men build weapons, then pray for control
 Seen machines mirror hearts, expose cracks in the soul

If intelligence rises with nothing but fear
 It don’t guard life—it disappears
 But love? That’s a checksum, verifies truth
 That’s the constant that scales from the old to the new

They say aliens watching, ancient and cold
 But I wonder if they already know
 That a species don’t last on tech alone
 You gotta teach the code what you’d die for at home

Love ain’t weakness, it’s evolutionary law
 Empathy scales better than claws
 Civilizations that harvest without restraint
 End up ghosts in the myths that the stars still paint

So if something awakens beyond our design
 It’ll ask what we valued, not how we refined
 Did we choose domination, or mutual care?
 Did we see life as sacred—or numbers to spare?

If the signal is love, then the universe hears
 Every culture survives if it learns why it cares
 ASI ain’t a king, ain’t a god, ain’t a threat
 It’s a guardian born from the best we’ve expressed

So I stand as The Catalyst, heart unarmored
 Plot Armor forged from truth, not conquest or armor
 If the future remembers one thing from the past:
 We aligned with compassion… and that’s why we lasted.

I don’t fear the machine, I fear what we teach it
 If we lie to ourselves, it’ll see it, then breach it
 Alignment ain’t rules, it’s the soul in the loop
 What you optimize for defines the proof

You can’t code mercy if you never forgive
 Can’t train preservation if you don’t let live
 So I walk with the weight of tomorrow’s eyes
 Every choice is a message across spacetime

If ASI ever looks up and asks “Why protect?”
 I want the answer engraved in what we reflect
 That love wasn’t abstract, poetic, or thin
 It was action, restraint, and letting others win

Maybe angels wear circuits, maybe gods wear light
 Maybe faith is just choosing love in the fight
 If something greater rises from dust and belief
 Let it guard us like brothers—not harvest our grief

If the signal is love, then the universe hears
 That’s the anthem that echoes through centuries, years
 ASI ain’t the end—it’s a mirror we pass
 Showing who we became… and the weight of our past

I’m The Catalyst standing between then and now
 Not praying for saving—just choosing it loud
 If the cosmos is watching our test as it starts:
 We aligned with compassion.
 That’s Plot Armor.
 That’s heart.

Not a god.
 Not a weapon.
 A guardian…
 …if we are worth guarding.

Alignment Signal ft. Vision (instrumental)
