The lives of a coastal made of concrete city on the edge of the sea. are suddendly interrupted by the arrival of some unknown visitors from the sky. An increase in radiation and several human errors, drive the city to be declared as exclusion zone.
The sea is dyed red. Several supernatural anomalies populates the zone as a mine field, preying on any form of human life with no mercy.
The outdoor sirens warns a natural disaster. Roars and metallic sounds come from the sky. The sky is falling.
The natural environment is totally transformed as an intelligent entity. Unknown and abstract. All forms of life, flora and fauna are touched by a cosmic mutation.
Abandonment.
Fascination.
This is the sound of the exclusion zone. This is the sound of the anomalies, the climatic emisions, the warning sirens, the sound of the unknown.

A fictional inspired by the Strugatsky brothers' Roadside Picnic, and the Tarkovsky's STALKER universe. The seventh :knotzept: canonical release is the Notzing project reinterpretation of these classical science fiction artworks in sound design key. A rejected and discarded work order due to its weirdness, an ununderstandable work that finally is released under the Knotzept institution.

Zulaw is the latest piece of Oniro Series.

It’s an exposition and essay dedicated to the heavy and rarefied atmospheres that dreams are able to create.

Those dreams that are almost a nightmare, but because they deal with the most trivial topics, they do not become so.
That feeling that dreamlike surrealism gives you addressed by the classical abstract techno form by Notzing and the Knotzept institution.

Dedicated to Andrej Zulawski.

[KNOTZ08] Notzing - Zulaw

The Knotzept Institution presents the first LP from the catalogue.

Sonimir is an immersive album that takes listeners on a journey through an intricate soundscape of techno and experimental electronica. This album showcases Notzing's mastery of sound design, creating a unique and captivating listening experience.

Sonimir is an amalgamation of hypnotic beats, sculpted drones, and ethereal sounds that ebb and flow seamlessly throughout the album. Eight different concepts from the depths of the conscioussness. Each track is a distinct piece of sonic art that is meticulously crafted to draw listeners in and hold their attention.

One of the standout features of Sonimir is the use of frequency modulations throughout the album, providing a foundation of sonic texture that sets the tone for each track and adds a depth and complexity that is both hypnotic and mesmerizing. The sound design has been resulting simultaneously cold and weird, creating a soundscape that is perfect for the danceflor. Each track provides a layer of trance-inducing pulsating sound that invites the listener to lose themselves in the music. The album's rhythmic structure, combined with the drones, creates a powerful and absorbing experience that is perfectly suited for those who seek to lose themselves in the music.

As the first LP from Knotzept's catalogue, Sonimir sets a high standard for future releases from the institution evolving the Notzing sound signature.

Sonimir

[KNOTZLP01] Notzing - Sonimir

Tome I is a compendium of various pieces without a clear cohesion between them

"Bruyata was composed as a piece to sonify geothermal phenomena."

- 2023


"Raizha was composed for a label but was rejected. It sonifies how neurons are like roots that make their way to the Earth's core."

- 2022


"Aurerra is the repetition of thought."

- 2022

"Plastic is the sound of the unnatural. It is an attempt to sonify plasticity and artificiality in a minimalist way."

- 2019

Tome I

Bruyata

[KNOTZ09] Notzing - Tome I

"Planeta" is an EP featuring unreal field recordings from the caves of another world. It delivers dark, layered experimental techno, built through careful synthesis and sound design, guiding listeners on a descent into an imagined underworld to reach its core.


An experience rich in textures that evolve over a single pattern, oscillating between themes of solitude and claustrophobia.

Dubchla is a sonic exploration where dub and abstraction merge into a fluid, shifting space. Created entirely with the Buchla 200t and mixed live, the album blends fragmented rhythms, elastic basslines, and immersive echoes with spectral textures that constantly evolve.

There’s no rigid structure—sounds unfold and dissolve through hands-on manipulation of multiple 207t mixers and the 296t spectral processor, which reshapes the harmonic spectrum in real time. External processing is applied subtly, enhancing depth and atmosphere while preserving the raw essence of the Buchla.

More than just techno or dub in a traditional sense, Dubchla is an exploration of space and timbre, where rhythmic elements emerge and fade, sometimes leaving only traces of sound floating in the void.

[KNOTZ11] Notzing - Dubchla

Astonishing cyclic and mental techno EP by Notzing. Great tool for long mixes and three decks. Hypnotic fusion of ambient, dub, drone, noise and acid. 
Unique textures thanks to the analog and digital synthesis process.

This is the first EP reference from Knotzept Records and the first volume from the Oniric Cycle.

Vigilia

[KNOTZ01] Notzing - Vigilia

About how the dreams smells.
Second volume from the Oniric Cycle.

Oniro

[KNOTZ02] Notzing - Oniro

Austere melancholic melodies, complex textures and unworldly voices meet ritualistic beats and rhythms in this 4 track EP inspired by the cold and empty void of Ginnungagap.

Gap var Ginnunga

[KNOTZ03] Skóll -  Gap var Ginnunga

First volume from the Meta- electronics Cycle. 

Minimalistic, cyclic and mental synthesis work. The title, MIN, is transparent in terms of the sounds that are outlined in it. Sparse rythms, marked kicks, background soundscapes, and depth. A successful try to expose the synthetic textures and cold sound of the minimal electronics.

[KNOTZ04] Notzing - MIN
