Our next offering comes from the Highlands of Scotland as Beira presents her debut, “Scry”.

Beira is a producer from Inverness that draws influence from occultism, mythology, paganism and Wicca.

The blueprint and construction of this release is a little different than usual….

Beira came up with the idea for the “Scry” project whilst doing a deep dive through the Bricolage catalogue looking for inspiration.

Her idea was to take stems/samples from eight different producers on the label and rework them into and alongside some of her own 'WIP' productions that she had been struggling to find further motivation for.

Adding these extra potions to an already simmering cauldron of her own sounds and breathing new life into what she describes as a "dormant elixir".

The result is a fascinating collections of disintegrated and mercurial soundscapes that conjure up all manner of moods but also leave room for the imagination. Atmosphere and woven textures take precedence in the process.

The more ambient numbers that begin the EP bring a raw and abstract tension before the pace picks up and we're introduced to some dark and dubby, bass driven, rhythmic tracks. Hacked apart beats that get stitched back together and swirled around. The surreal and otherworldly tension remains in the second half but now with a late night fire burning and an invitation to dance around it.

There's a strong nod to feminism and Scottish mythology throughout that tells a tale of Witchcraft and days gone by. The perfect soundtrack for the Halloween season.

"Scry" melts, bubbles, froths and crackles. It's a beguiling record from a nascent producer that gives us a peek into the past and the present. Into the potential that's yet to come. Into the future. Into oneself. Thus, to scry.

We welcome to our roster Mariachiara Troianiello, the Italian sound artist behind the moniker Katatonic Silentio.

“Middle Ages” opens with seemingly dark and melancholic atmospheres, where the heavily processed electric guitar becomes the beating heart of the whole soundscape. Every note vibrates through metallic reverberations and abrasive distortions, as if the sound itself was decomposed and reconstructed by machinery. The tones are sharp, but not cold. Electronic instruments, including synthetic drones and rhythmic glitches, weave a dense, layered sound, alternating between moments of fragile stillness and sudden bursts of noise. Each track seems to represent a clash between humanity and technology, where melodies slowly disappear in a sea of feedback and noise, leaving room for an abstract but deeply emotional sound world.

The album is a sensory experience, a journey between roughness and beauty, where the tension between analogue and digital sound turns into a cry of disillusionment, but also of resistance.

Full album/tape: https://atlantearecords.bandcamp.com/album/mire

“Mire” is sonic tribute to the mystical creatures of nature who’ve been around since the beginning of life on earth. These soundscapes seek to capture the timelessness and primordial wisdom still intact in the mist of marshes and swamps. We invite listeners to close their eyes and envision themselves in the subtle world of these rich ecosystems.

I know I didn't write this beautiful piece, John Murphy did, this is my interpretation, I wanted to show a side of me that I don't always get to express. Composed and performed this on my various synths, no more needs saying.

I'll forever feel blessed by our star and mother earth's grace x
