The tale of the mythic pentaki mountain has been engraved on a two-sided circular piece of wax.

the north face of the peak is steep, abrasive, and has been the subject of many legends in the region. it is said that whoever would manage to climb it would find a plateau, leading to a place called “the single source of truth”.

considered as the ultimate goal by both psychedelic gurus and database o
ptimization corporations, and as an ideal retirement destination for a couple of lost souls in search for coherence and objectivity, the source diffuses endless loops of haunted voices, apparently sampled from a discarded call center, running low on power, encouraging listeners to shorten cycles, deliver requests and improve user experience.

it is also said that anyone climbing from the south side would never reach the summit or find his way to the plateau, and would always end up on a lower altitude than where he started.

this topographical anomaly is probably the reason why the south face of the pentaki has always been favorited by locals, with its sunny weather and its luxurious vegetation flourishing along the soft downward slope, leading to a slow and peaceful end.

Plateau ( a single source of truth )

N'acceptez pas que l'on fixe, ni qui vous ?tes, ni o? rester. Ma couche est ? l'air libre. Je choisis mon vin, mes l?vres sont ma vigne. Soyez complice du crime de vivre et fuyez ! Sans rien fuir, avec vos armes de jet et ? la main large, pr?te ? s'unir, sobre ? punir. M?lez-vous ? qui ne vous regarde, car lointaine est parfois la couleur qui fera votre blason.

Shortly after moving to London, he joined the local family of artists Index Tapes, he was only in his first year of university.

Оn April 13, 2020 Stoyan untimely left our world. A day earlier he changed this page name to ‘it doesn’t matter anymore’. He did, however, grant his family access to this account and it now serves as an archive of his music legacy and a reminder of his impulsive, emotional and bold approach to electronic music. His family decided to change back the account name to Stoyan Yovchev Omori to ensure his work is easily accessible for anybody who looks to listen to it. Tony lived to create and his work and life will always matter.
