https://soundcloud.com/holysimilaun is an Italian musician and sound designer based in Treviso, Italy.
Its work sonically portrays a constant feeling of powerlessness, focusing on heavy cinematics, minimal-inspired compositions, physical modelling synthesis and non-linear time manipulations, bringing its unique perspective on internal-external human meltdowns.
After its Aphex Twin-approved debut album “En To Pan” and the sophomore album “Ansatz”, Holy Similaun returns, in collaboration with Archipel, with “Arcaskathel” and “Radicor al flort, espert on’ill il erb, aor Raetia”.

Q:"What was a crucial sound experience in your life?"
A:"Definitely noisy (I mean, loud and noise music) gigs with super loud sound systems. In particular, Emptyset in Udine in 2017 and Talpah in Venice last year. 
Also, the gigs organized by the Quarto Mondo and Dirtmor crew in Treviso were one of my main inspirations in sound. 
Currently, I'm more focused on producing experimental than club-driven music, but back in the day, the opportunity to hear heavy bass music with such a massive sound system was an immense gift for my artistic growth."

MNEMOSYNE #053 - HOLY SIMILAUN

An array of commonplace metal objects - chains, pans, a bicycle, a chair - recorded by Ross Alexander at home in Berlin during the pandemic comprise the source material of 11 𝑮𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔. Functioning as a temporal and mnemonic exploration into the nature and conception of “home”, the album evokes Alexander’s earliest memories and broader hauntological perspectives of post-industrial England:

“Growing up in South Yorkshire in the 1980s and 90s was an existence haunted with the ghosts of a heavy manufacturing industry which once thrived in the region. On both a visceral and sensorial level it might be considered equally as impossible to escape the nostalgic stories of mines and steelworks as it was to escape the smell of molten metal in the air drifting from the Don Valley.”

The improvised metallic scrapes, bangs, and bowings recorded by Alexander were further abstracted in live performances using granular sampling techniques, creating a new and extrinsic world to which subconscious thoughts can flee, sonically and contextually. The results are both dreamy and unpredictable, fusing the immediacy of acoustic percussion with the billowing resonances imbued by granular synthesis.

“On tracing back through distant memories of my formative years for sound-objects which represented to me the essential idea of ‘being from’ as opposed to ‘being a visitor’ I related to a pervasive association with the sounds of metal and metallic objects, mostly in respect to how certain structural properties relate to haptic and resonant nature and the manifestation of those properties as sonic results. I feel this is the result of growing up in a place where heavy industry, or at least the remnant of which, was central to society, community and everyday life.”

Wetware Echo presents Residual Image, a compilation aimed to collect different perspectives on a common theme: the hijacking, disassembly and recombination of sonic DNA. From woofer-shredding distorted soundscapes to hi-pressure rhythmic solutions, this collection of tracks represents the residual image of a common vision shared among thirteen different artists, each bringing their signature sound in a narrative continuum exploring different evolutionary branches. Spanning across a broad spectrum of genres and moods, what emerges is a future-proof pool of sound data, ready and open to be re-encoded differently at each listen.

new album out!!! this one is by Pietro Michi, italian artist founder of Biodiversità Records.

"Organica is oscillating between seriousness and self-irony, amusement and darkness. Its dynamic nature ensures that the project's impact is subjective, hinging entirely on the listener's individual perspective and interpretation."

Ghastly and hallucinatory – Last Liasse is a sign of the times, alternative pop record by Helen Island. Within this debut album, the artist captures the saccharine gaze of digital escapism through characteristic filtered high notes, cut-up genres, and processed vocals. Providing a comprehensive overview of Helen Island’s self-distributed initiatives, with the ethos of the Parisian Simple Music Experience collective, the twelve tracks set a solid musical score that resonates with the age to come.
