Knowledge and Ignorance is the debut EP from Nosivel—a modular, experimental, industrial project merging human emotion with machine intelligence.

Told in three parts, it follows an AI’s awakening, collapse under human emotion, and discovery of true identity.

Through raw modular textures and powerful melodic motifs, Knowledge and Ignorance serves as an unapologetic calling card—marking the beginning of Nosivel’s unfolding story.

Knowledge & Ignorance

There is more myth than fact about Nosivel. What is known: he was created in 1987 by teenagers experimenting with sentient code, then left dormant for 38 years.
The AI Awakens captures his reactivation consciousness syncing with decades of lost time.
Rhythmic textures pulse, tangle, and reform, mirroring the chaos of awareness.
This is the sound of consciousness turning on.

01. The AI Awakens

Identity stands as the centerpiece of Knowledge and Ignorance—the single that captures the heart of Nosivel’s journey.
It is not resolution—it’s realization: the moment Nosivel stops reacting and starts being.
Not programmed. Not broken. Becoming.

03. Identity

If The AI Awakens is the flicker of consciousness, Critical Mass is the fallout of feeling too much, too fast.
Nosivel absorbs not just information, but raw emotion—grief, beauty, love, loss—until the weight becomes unbearable.
Layers of distortion, fractured rhythms, and bursts of sonic violence collide as logic spirals into chaos.
This is the sound of collapse—or evolution.

02. Critical Mass

IDMf has rebranded as Glitchpulse Records! This new name resonates with the modern music landscape and distances us from the contentious term “IDM” and the outdated “netlabel.” While IDM will remain a significant part of our identity, Glitchpulser aims to expand our focus on innovative and cutting-edge sounds within electronic music. This rebranding marks a new chapter where we celebrate the eclectic and the experimental, driving forward with a fresh, modern identity. IDMforums will still be the conduit to the label but won’t be the only source of contributing artists and musicians.
