Vertige II is the second compilation to be released on Abîme, gathering tracks from ten artists to explore the Vertige concept with a wider spectrum of intents.  

It features contributions from musicians all around the globe, each of them delivering an interpretation of this ambivalent sensation that could be equally seen as a positive or negative feeling if taken in its plurality of meanings.

Ranging from GIL’ dizzying textures in ‘Storm Petrel’ to the sweetness of Fauness’ guitars in ‘Am I ready’, Vertige II finds its coherence when seen as a progression, a back and forth between fear and love, with each track responding to the previous one by being its deforming mirror.

Vertige II puts the emphasis on vocal tracks, but again doesn’t limit itself to a one-sided approach, and that’s how Lil Asaf’s harsh Jordanian rap can be found coexisting with Flagalova’ anthemic pop and Ptwiggs’ shoegaze ‘Forever is not enough’. 

As the successor of our first compilation, this record can be seen as both a continuation and a rupture in comparison with it. The delicate sound palette of the original opus has exploded and expanded into an ecletic collection of pieces, sometimes frightening and overwhelming, and sometimes soothing and reassuring, as is the Vertige.

"No history of electronic music is complete without a reference to mego, editions mego or peter rehberg. since its inception in the mid 1990s mego was at the centre and forefront of new, independent, and vehemently uncompromising computer music. when Peter took over some ten years later, he transformed mego into editions mego: encompassing vastly divergent musical styles and practice, which he referred to as “spikey”. anyone interested in electronic music should carefully study its hugely influential back catalogue." - Mark Fell

Bleep Mix #239 - Mark Fell

This is a mixtape of beats I compulsively wrote over a period of 2 weeks to fight a creative block working on a drone EP (there’s more tracks that didn’t make it on this one and the EP is ready)

It includes collected field recordings over a period of 2 years(e.g a neighbor that blasted “Indian?” music from across a river every evening early summer 2021, a traffic jam on the Saida corniche, a random conversation with a friend about using a device to record his piano jams…) a bootleg of Sheikha Rmitti’s “N’ta Goudami” and an excerpt from an interview with Nahla Chahal talking about the never ending struggle of life.

The Last Bloom

Composed for Irtijal's "Istimrar" series, this piece focuses on the different aspects of resonance emitted from drum instruments where transient sounds were eliminated by using different techniques.
These techniques include the usage of rotating motors, transducers and contact mics placed on cymbals, hi hats, snares, kick drums & floor toms as well as processing sound through max/msp.

The Elixir of the Screen - شراب الشاشة 

A piece I made in spirit of my feelings living in this dystopian reality where we are forced to absorb the daily atrocities through our screens and bear the constant pain, sadness and feeling of hopelessness, that reminds us that greed and power prevail over humanity…?! Enough!! 
There is nothing else that makes sense than to keep resisting in any form or shape, and to have hope that truth and good do overcome! 

We will never be free until Palestine is free
