`•.,¸¸,.•´¯ SEASON 1 ¯`•.,¸¸,.•´

"The CD is scratched.” A saying from the early millennium, it describes the phenomenon of skipping music on a damaged CD, the locked, repetitive groove. For nearly a decade, Fossilized Wilderness has been experimenting with a peculiar modification to CDJ equipment, birthed by long hours sorting through promotional CDs sent to a radio station. In embracing choppiness, a body of abrasive but bright ambient work has been constructed from the refuse of musical commodification.

The CD skip is both rhythm and tone on this LP, but if you expect the monotonous motions of a concept album, don’t: The moods here are just as granular. The six tracks shift from digital euphoria to shoegazing sentimentalism, a balanced mix of terror, plaintiveness, and joy, an impressive feat considering that the scratch of a CD produces potent nostalgia as well as Pavlovian irritation for many—a drive to eject the thing and fix the problem.

For those not growing up with it, the scratched CD is a relic phenomenon, something that happened with an artifact format. But just because it’s an artifact doesn’t mean it’s obsolete. On this LP, Fossilized Wilderness uses a sonic palette of subtly-shifting broken loops to create something new: delirious spectres rising from an ocean of plastic.

Fossilized Wilderness is Ryan Martin, a pillar of the North Carolina underground music and arts scene.

@Ytem has crafted his own voice within the experimental club music scene with his productions and DJ sets combining cinematic melodies and rough hardstyle-inspired drums, sometimes akin to an horror show score. He has released countless singles, remixes, collaborations, including on labels such as Slagwerk, [Re]sources, and Flood. 2018 saw ‘Dangereux’, his debut EP, released on his own Abîme imprint (co-founded with Chams), an illustration of recurring dreams he has had, a duality between atmospheric soundscapes and hardstyle patterns, between immensity and emptiness.

Ytem has toured extensively across Europe, playing in cities such as London, Brussels, and Paris and is often is invited to play radios shows; Circadian Rhythms (NTS), Rinse France, 10Twenty.
His tracks have been played by esteemed artists such as Caterina Barbieri, Zuli, Tzusing, and Dark0. In 2018, he played his first Boiler Room set in which he shifts through genres such as French hip-hop, jersey club, happy hardcore, trance, hard drum, and dubstep.

HYPERLINK MIX #5 w/ ytem

Osawa Tome is the ‘cosmic Appalachia’ alias of multi-instrumentalist, electronic producer, and North Carolina underground music scene veteran, Zeke Graves (Cold Sides, Datahata, Kinoeye, Northgate Syndicate, Ezekiel Graves, etc.).

Drawing on the vernacular traditions of the region, a love of minimalist and experimental composers, and a deep curiosity towards sound-generating technologies, Graves fashions a unique take on ‘folk music’ that wanders through ambient, drone, and new age territories. In true nomadic style, Graves declines permanent residence in any of these genres, instead opening up a meditative and transitory space where sounds can come and go, structures evolve and decay, and time just as easily run backwards as forwards.

Astute listeners will note the undeniable sway of creative beacons such as Terry Riley, John Fahey, Laurie Spiegel, and Roedelius. However, 'Mountain Minor' is primarily inspired by the Western North Carolina land where Graves was raised. Listen closely for the creek washing over the rocks, the insects chanting on a summer night, and the trees creaking in the winter winds. Take some time on the pathways of 'Mountain Minor' and hear for yourself.
