Genome was created during a creative challenge sponsored by Sonic Charge in October 2023. The then-over 150 members of Aedi were invited to create a track using the innovative Synplant 2 as their main sound source.

The submissions were compiled in an anonymous playlist and voted for collectively, as was the album title and artwork.

Hidolas - Trails [AEDI013]

IB13 is the artistic alter ego of Gabriel Rafael (1997, Portugal), from Vale do Sousa, a northern region of Portugal marked by rapid industrial growth.

IB13 reflects the contrast between the harmony of nature and industrial textures, capturing the tension between progress and preservation in his sound.

The dark aesthetic that defines IB13’s music symbolises the critical state of the Iberian wolf, an emblematic species on the brink of extinction, whose fight for survival mirrors the challenges of balancing humanity and the environment. Yet, like a ray of light breaking through the darkness, a subtle sense of hope lingers in his soundscapes, suggesting that the future can still be shaped by action and awareness.

From calm, reflective atmospheres to intense moments, IB13 takes the listener on an introspective journey, evoking thought and emotion in every performance.
