United Rust is a collaboration between Italian electronic musicians Nicola Zolin (vise.) and Alexander Comana (Miedo Total). The project emerged after the pair met while carrying out a master in Sonic Arts at Goldsmiths University, London. They found common ground in black metal theory, ecology and sound design, and sought to create work which incorporates these elements. 

The result of this collaboration is Stillmother, initially conceived as a multimedia project involving performance, live sound, and dance. Reconfigured due to the global pandemic, the 8-track EP is an assemblage of pieces that mine elements from black metal and club culture, both of which are simultaneously embedded in notions of collectiveness and separation. The opposing forces of these elements interact, developing into viscous distortion and low-frequency kick blasts,  side-chaining gabber percussions with raw and obscure guitar riffs, driving cruel metallic clashes with acidic and digital textures.

Stillmother is inspired in part by the concept of dépense, coined by Georges Bataille, a term that describes the surplus of offerings made by ancient populations to their deities; an excess that is left to rot or burn. Stillmother combines this idea with the theory of Flat Ontology by Manuel DeLanda, as well as the notion of Deep Ecology. By charging each element in the piece with excessive processing, their musical context is flattened and remodelled; the individual components become more relevant than their totality: the final result is metal from a flattened perspective. Music under pressure from the excessive force of its individual parts.

Stillmother is a study of excess: the ferocious, machinegun-like blast beat of drums that surges to the forefront, pushing everything else into the background, the overwhelming wall of distorted noise that smothers every object, even itself, like black smoke billowing from an industrial chimney, in the full range of the frequency spectrum; a blind space surrounded by an inhuman blackness.

“WTF” es mi nuevo EP, producido en colaboración con Enzo Tinoco y publicado a través de Klexos Records, con un enfoque claro en tech house orientado a la pista de baile.

El EP se construye sobre líneas de bajo sólidas, grooves definidos y estructuras pensadas para funcionar tanto en clubs como en festivales, manteniendo la energía alta y priorizando la funcionalidad en mezcla. Cada track está trabajado para ofrecer transiciones limpias, drops contundentes y elementos rítmicos que facilitan el trabajo del DJ en cabina.

La mezcla y el máster estuvieron a cargo de Enzo Tinoco, asegurando un resultado consistente y adecuado para sistemas de sonido profesionales.

Mice - 过肠 Intestinal Passer

All life on earth depends on oxygen from the air. We breathe it to live and live to breathe it. Air is a transparent symbol of the eternal youth of nature, a constant reminder of our vitality. To conquer the anxiety of life, we need to live in the breath of air.

It is time to let go of your fear and doubts. You must learn to embrace the darkness of your soul, for it is a light beacon of hope for humanity. Your soul wants to show itself in its truest form, strength, perseverance, courage and determination of spirit. In this lifetime your soul needs to cleanse and open its feelings for katharsis. This current physical lifetime offers you a new leaf, to be able to learn to balance obsolete, distorted behaviors.

In Unison marks the label’s first release under its own name. All tracks in this compilation were composed/written using computer languages.

In times of uncertainty, unity in the digital and non-digital realm is more important than ever. The endless search for new means of communicating through sound and visuals is what drives us forward, as individuals but even more so as a collective being, In Unison.

All proceedings will go to the Black Lives Matter Fund.
