Non-places, as defined by anthropologist Marc Augé, are impersonal spaces human being can’t truly inhabit: airports, supermarkets or open-plan offices — places limited to transit and consumption, replicated worldwide and characteristic of late stage capitalism. Marketing has equipped these spaces with a soundtrack of similar properties, conditioning human ears to hear without listening, blending muzak, jingles, news channels, and chill playlists into a seamless auditory background.
Rather than presenting an idealised vision of nature — which is, incidentally, often represented within non-places — Nonexistent Landscape offers a counterpoint: an imaginary landscape in which the sense of strangeness stems not from indeterminacy or interchangeability, but from an eerie quality (as defined by Mark Fisher in The Weird and the Eerie: "Why is there something here when there should be nothing? Why is there nothing here when there should be something?").
Sayaka Botanic has brought together her sonic and visual experiments to set them in dialogue. On "Prologue", fragments of her voice can be heard, but much like in her portraits, she never fully reveals herself - something is missing from a human existence, yet there is too much substance for a spectral presence. On "The Path", the sound of the violin gradually mutates: instruments, electronics, and magnetic tape are the core elements of her music, but identifying the origin of a sound is as elusive as deciphering the source of one of her photographs. Nonexistent Landscape invites us to detach from reality and move toward an outside that may not seem welcoming, but is nonetheless inhabitable.

Dark Ambient And Drone Music Orchestration. Gloomy, turbulent and disturbing, this is how they describe this composition of Dark Ambient, using techniques of synthesizers with altered field recordings conceive this interesting result of dark musical orchestration worthy of a Lovecraftian scenario.

Transition Of Consciousness

Untitled

My new album "Oracular" is now up for pre-order at Cyclic Law. https://cycliclaw.bandcamp.com/album/oracular. This is the first track off the album.

A continuation of the previously explored realm of the spirit world through "Lucid Intrusion" (Cyclic Law 2018), we’re now being depicted a unique journey of an Outer Body Experience. As the spirit leaves the physical body and is propelled to a parallel universe, it encounters unknown phenomenons and travels obscure and unrecognizable landscapes. An otherworldly journey through an infinite realm, a subconscious terra incognita.

Metaterrestrial (NOW up for PRE-ORDER at CYCLIC LAW 142nd Cycle)

Lesa Listvy is back with their Second album on Cryo Chamber. An analogue heavy album with beautiful textures on warm subs.

Behold, the sacred coding of the lapsed Planeteers. They have committed their knowledge to musical intonations, to semblances of intellect in aural constructs, to the language of drones. The Saviour god-ship surface-to-air vessel has been encoded with several encrypted editions of the Preservation Directive. The divine loops of the source materials undergo their perpetual gyrations on the reel-to-reel of their venerable sound bursts. The Covenant of Analogues propels its drone-scripts, the hieroglyphs of the perished few, from the proto-dwellers of the Maxime Cataclysmus. They are the principal invocations of the forgotten, the diagnostic prophecies of the regeneration of the civilised world. The proto-dwellers have projected their immaculate permutations of the sacred message through rifts in time. But it cannot exist without being received by a conscious entity. The Saviour is a voice in the darkness that says: "Absorb our codices. We are the remnants of a lost species. Until you receive us, we are nothing."

Flying Ship

Ajna is the enigmatic project of Chris F from New York and has been active since 2008. This project is mainly inspired by the supernatural, surrealism, esotericism, the collective unconscious, nature and antiquity. Ajna's sound has often been described as hauntingly beautiful, otherworldly, mysterious, nightmarish, etc…ranging from obscure dark ambient soundscapes to deep isolationist drone with electro-acoustic and industrial elements. The artist is currently affiliated with the Cyclic Law and Winter-Light labels.
