I love the pace and the sound design is very nice

Wooao. This is so unique. Like rubber, rubbing against metal.

Collaboration done with brass-lines (Frank Wilke) under the name of my previous project Before After some 12 years ago

Backwards in space 01 - Cold Black

A journey where choices intertwine and branch off in unpredictable ways. Each step distorts the scenery—sometimes leading you back, other times revealing fleeting sights never seen before. This track captures the sensation of a crossing maze through glitch: sounds skip, waver, and fracture, and in those fractured moments, a new path emerges before you.

Twisting Path

like 12 hours of sleep within 16 hours!!!!!!
when you were behind on sleep
catching up feels so nice
made with casio and stylophone, zoom h1 and NCH editing

how it feels to get plenty of sleep

sitting ducks and circling eagles
do not a whole existence make
he told me as I listened listless
tired, drained by his insistence
that I would have to be alert
to push past the break
and be clear enough
to find my hands in dreams
and speak in fluent Nirwanese
in Dada-lekt the verses back
from me to him
that he had taught me while I was not aware

and not-I sat without an ear
in the round of ember eyes still glistening
for both are made of themselves
each other and of fear
but the duck will have to feather up and fly
and the eagle will go hungry as it passes by
this he told me cunning, sly
on this I will rely
not now but when 
time runs dry.....

Update: An in-depth patch explanation tutorial video has just been released on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-7Sv6_Epr50 - if you're intrigued how this track was made, check it out 🤗

I wanted to see whether GRM Tools Atelier could do something a little more rhythmic ... It can! 😁 See the YouTube video of the patch (and an upcoming how it works) on the halF unusuaL YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/aY6TNXLZYec

Tanaka Hiroaki (1959–2004) was a Japanese poet from Osaka. A student of Hatano Sōha, he published many of his works in the journal Ao 青 (“Blue”), of which he became editor in 1979. In 2000, he founded his own journal, Yū ゆう.

Darkening

A piece from the last year archive reworked in these days

Metropolis (everyday life of common people)

Tiny boat, big sea
No land nowhere to be seen
Gotta tiny on a big sea

Some days we row along merrily
Some days the wind blows mightily 
So happy that you're here with me

He might have been a big man
A titan of industry
But he's got an itty bitty boat just like me

Some days we row along merrily
Some days the wind blows mightily
I'm happy that you're here with me

Due north through the freezing wind and rain
Due south through the troubles of our days
Due east to a far off distant land
Your hand in my hand
Your hand in my hand

Come across a boat
Filled with refugees
Men, women, little babies
Sitting knee to knee
They got a tiny boat on a big sea

Some days we row along merrily 
Some days the wind blows mightily
I'm so happy you're here with me

I seen my father on his death bed
I heard my father, the last words that he said
Such a tiny boat on a big sea

He rowed that boat time and time again
Now I see another boat waiting for him
It's a tiny boat on a big sea

Tiny Boat, Big Sea

Where The Circuits Meet The Spell Open Collab

Where the Circuits Meet The Spell ft. John Musichead & noxpox - Instrumental

A shockwave of 30 tiny drum explosions — fast, weird, and totally unhinged.
Pulse = your speed.
Paradox = your chaos.

It sounds like Berlin, Babylon, and a broken metronome throwing a wild party together.
You’re not “playing drums” — you’re launching beats into orbit and breaking every rule with a smile.

Short. Freaky. Technical. Funny.
An album that refuses to behave — it just hits.

Avantgarde: Pulse & Paradox.
Drumming with no brakes and zero apology.

Pulse Reconstruction

Welcome tσ th!s εvσlving space … inspired by thε playful sp!rit of hai (meaning “fun” or unμsuΔl, like in haiku) …

I dig around thε edges t0 uneΔrth non-mμ§ic musics — sliding into nσ!§ε, glitch, chΔnce, Δ$MR, and σther soundwσrlds that feel oddly familiar in their oddity …

✨👂 L!§†εn cΔrεfu!l¥ … 👀 εxplσrε dεεpl¥ … 🎵💫

And for the full hΔlF unμ§uaL trεΔ†ment for your eyes Δs well as your εars, check σut the Yσutubε channel… ░▒▓█ ᵒ(≧▽≦)ᵒ ░▒▓█▒░

Thanks f0r joining thε journey! Your support kεeps this all afloat — HUGΣLY Δpprec!Δted 🙏🥰
