shakti's ( @sofia-builes ) music does not follow rules. Her art is built on structures that collapse and are reborn in eternal cycles, stripping music of its rhythmic conventions and taking it into the unknown. With ILLUD TEMPUS, he immerses us in a sonic exploration that defies time, taking us into a space where repetition is not just a simple recurrence, but the echo of a cosmic truth that manifests itself in ever-changing patterns.

Inspired by the concept of “that time”, a primordial state where the divine and the human intertwine in infinite cycles, this work transcends the merely musical and becomes an exercise in altered perception. ILLUD TEMPUS is a journey towards the eternal return, a confrontation with the idea that everything that has happened in the universe will repeat itself endlessly, identical and immutable.

From the ancient Babylonian myths that spoke of the destruction and rebirth of the cosmos to the Pythagorean and Stoic vision of the great conflagration, Shakti channels these principles into a dark, dense and visceral sound, where music unfolds as a living entity in constant regeneration. Each track is a passage to a time out of time, where erratic rhythms, abrasive textures and ethereal atmospheres confront us with the haunting notion of an inescapable destiny.

The patterns of ILLUD TEMPUS are abstract constructions that, like primordial forces, shape and deform reality at will. Percussion emerges from the depths of an unfathomable abyss, dislocated and devoid of familiarity. The layers of sound expand and contract like waves in a sea of fluctuating energy. Everything we hear here is at once past, present and future, coexisting in a single vibration that resonates in our consciousness.

With this EP, Shakti redefines the limits of experimental music, immersing us in a trance-like state where linearity ceases to exist and what remains is only the incessant cycle of creation, transformation and destruction. ILLUD TEMPUS is a sensory experience that confronts us with the very nature of time and drags us into a state of altered perception, where the inevitable repeats itself, over and over again, in an eternal and fascinating sound loop.
