"@lucien_balconi’s Drowned By Locals debut blurs the lines between PS1-era video games and real-world environments.

‘SAW THE FEELING IN THE HEART OF THINGS’ is hyperreal and otherworldly in its attempt to bridge virtual and non-virtual realities. It’s natural phenomena made synthetic; drowsy nostalgia."

- IF-ONLY MAG -

Lucien Balconi is a musician based in the east of France. Inspired by the magnificent phenomena of nature, the morning wind that caresses our faces, the end of the day light filtered between the branches of the trees, he composes delicate, sensitive music, charged with emotions, where sometimes dissonant sounds inspire the ambiguity of sensations between fear and appeasement, melancholy and energy.

Laura Conant - clay slipping through my fingers
@laura-conant

Laura Conant provided us with (almost) 20 minutes of her own production. The sound piece relies heavily on micro-sampling and processing of sounds, both coming from Laura Conant’s making and samples from different sources. Sounds are being transformed, stretched out, cut and re-arranged. Moments of calm are followed by sudden outbursts. Glide into a narrative and sound-designed focused story, yet warm and intimate.

Laura Conant is one half of MONTAGE, a label and event series from Brussels. The producer and DJ is known for various mixes and radioshows, exploring different styles and musical scenes.

corecore comes to you with this spoiled and blessed sunday service, which was broadcast on March 12th of 2023 on Radio TNP: an 8+ hour broadcast live from a cabin in Amsterdam Noord and from afar. With 24 times 20 minute live sets, sonic performances, mini-mixes and audio collages, sourced from corecore’s virtual community and beyond.

toxica

~~  it's been a while

quiet moments 
nothing but a voice and 
the feeling of strings slipping 
under sore fingertips

some moments are like  wounds 
etched into your skin

fade into you ~*

@leop3rdi
The 36th release of katharsis is the EP “be there” by Belgian artist leop4rdi, coming out on September 4th. Throughout its six tracks, the artist shows off his unique blend of granular synths, etheric vocals, emo guitar riffs, and smashing rocky drums. This infusion of his cute kitsch vibes with obscure spiritual icons and cryptic intelligence results in a unique aesthetic represented on the artwork created by label boss jjjacob.

The EP is the second full release by the Brussel-based artist, following his stellar EP “a process of learning and understanding” on the magnificent label and collective Soul Feeder in January this year. His alternative approach and very personal style shine through on “be there” as well, the titles of the tracks representing intuitive associations from the artist's mind.

Three singles were premiered prior to the full release, "Out Of My Skin" - a beautiful sonic journey of emotive acoustic guitar, bit-crushed vocal wails, playful synths, and powerful percussion, secondly the downtempo & bouncy though aggressively distorted track "Focus!" with a feel of melancholic overtones and struggling attention, and thirdly the deeply melancholic ballad "Essence" starting with acoustic guitar chords and poignant vocal chops but ending with hard drums and overdriven synths.

Be There

No Warning

leop4rdi - No Warning

When I'm Alone

You say that you're into me
So why are we enemies
You say that you're through with me
But All I hear is what you've been through with me
But All I hear is what you've been through with me
But All I hear
You say that you're into me
So why are we enemies
You say that you're through with me
But All I hear is what you've been through with me
But All I hear is what you've been through with me
But All I hear

(mumble words 4 verse)
in my ear
talking down
feelings felt
I wish you well
coming thru
yeah u once again
no we're not friends
and we cannot be more than friends
i don't pretend
(and) you know how this end
got you on all 4's 
(like) kitchen table again
u turning tables again
telling fables again
asking favors again
u can save all of that

You say that you're into me
So why are we enemies
You say that you're through with me
But All I hear is what you've been through with me
But All I hear is what you've been through with me
But All I hear
You say that you're into me
So why are we enemies
You say that you're through with me
But All I hear is what you've been through with me
But All I hear is what you've been through with me
But All I hear
