Satabban - LAMPBOUND

Total runtime: 33:16

In "Lampbound”, you embark on a retro video game journey as Max, an ordinary guy who stumbles upon a mysterious genie's lamp. In an unexpected twist, Max is magically pulled into the lamp and finds himself trapped within a fantastical world. With the genie's powers at his disposal, he must navigate through a labyrinthine maze of perilous puzzles, treacherous platforms, and enigmatic creatures to escape the lamp's confines.

As Max progresses, he uncovers hidden secrets and acquires unique abilities granted by the genie. These powers enable him to manipulate the environment, such as freezing time, conjuring temporary platforms, and transforming into different forms. Careful planning and clever utilization of these newfound skills are crucial to overcoming the various challenges that lie ahead.

Throughout the game, Max encounters eccentric characters, both helpful and mischievous, who offer cryptic advice or attempt to hinder his escape.

As Max inches closer to his freedom, he unravels the genie's backstory, uncovering the truth behind his entrapment and the enigmatic origins of the lamp. Will Max triumph over the lamp's ancient magic and find his way back to reality, or will he remain trapped within its confines forever?

Lampbound Foyer

Mumbled echoes from the mist,
through the tunnels of revival.
The graininess interplay with a subdued mellifluence.

A haze of longing sighs and reverberations
threshold between the lane,
where distant voices yield to.

Each touch is a ballad in nocturnal parade, rays in slumber, yet the moonbeam in breast is still awake - whispered pledge enchained with insatiable thirst. Ecstatic symphony, where caress seems to echo in the passage of elysian heath.   

'To Be Kept in the Body Eternal' enchants with pulse in elegance dance of eternal, bittersweet passion. Everlasting sonata venturing into woven figures of tender phantoms.

To Be Kept in the Body Eternal

Patina Lush - Aldis B

Inwardly multilayered and intensely textured nuances gather as polished figures in the resplendence & morphs into rhapsodic sensibility.

Language Instinct from Texas immerses in the fathomless ties between palpitating microtonality and unwavering harmonics - collaging together sonnets of throbbing loops.

John Maus - All Joy For All Eternity (2009)

Roadmaps on the palms
Braided, fold over
Where the shore meets the ebbing sea
Forever touching, forever adrift

Whispers of the history fade
Where the sea drapes waning waves
Only to retrace echoing trails
Abiding in ceaseless rims

Rooted in the fertile soil of hauntology, Amulet of Tears presents: 'Before We Melt into the Sea' - chimerical shreds of memoir.  Foraying intervals coiled in visceral resonance, which appear as abyssal, ancestral echoes of elusive moments, where the past unfolds in attendance, like a vapor that forbids to fade.  

Phantoms colliding to forge ahead for what’s to come or to drag us back into the shades of what we once were - enshadowed by imprints of past, present, and future, overlapped upon one another.

Ambient Sessions # 122 - BODYXVII

Upon the arc of constellations: 
Tensed between bodies
Dance between our fingers 
Ember, that lingers

Already innate—

Abides what dwells, mesh of our hands 
Brush softly the wheels of what it craves

Beneath the tremors of unseen tides 
Burns with the heat of dust and rush

Aloft in the quiet rhythm of luminaries, through the metaphysical: echoes waltz beneath the currents and between darkened domes. A weightless rhythm carried slow, where horizon loosens its hold upon the threshold for it is out of reach.

Based in Texas, USA, Field Designer is the creative force behind Language Instinct & Glacial Anatomy. Ventures across the essence of tension-elements like: the raw, unpredictable nature of distortion within serenity and intensity, that is both expansive and constrained.

Aesthetic Limitations

Field Designer - Residents say

Unseen lane toward the deferral breath
Fog unspools, hums like it knows me
Straining to perceive what I have encoded
And they leave anyway
Countless doors to exit

Tracing the edges of each shade
Arise from the entrails of circuitry vain
Withhold in a corridor - ornaments of the dim ache

Patina Lush is an electronic composer from Austin, Texas, rooted in tactile emotion. His music is vivid and hallucinatory — shaped by layered textures, shifting patterns, and a pulse that bends between clarity and dream.

'Mist Unseen' is a sonata of phantoms: somatic grace drifting through vapor. The pieces move like shifting fog — elusive, dissolving, yet leaving traces that return unexpectedly, almost as if hummed back from memory. It unfolds in tension — between what is traced and what has not yet taken form — a work that moves like memory, half-revealed and ever-becoming.
