Astraltopia is the third and final compilation in the Topia series, as well as the terminal release in the Astral Plane Recordings catalog. Made up of contributions from longtime APR artists and friends, Astraltopia traverses outgrowths of past label releases, novel sonic formulations and the infra-zones between and underneath extant club sounds. Accompanied by artwork from Sam Meier and mastering by Will Mitchell, the compilation follows 2012’s Heterotopia and 2015’s Psychotropia, both of which preceded the formal inauguration of Astral Plane Recordings. Contributions include material from Alis, Amazondotcom, CHANTS, Dane Law, LOFT, Maral, MICHAELBRAILEY (with Iceboy Violet), nunu and SHALT. Astraltopia is out now as a free and/or pay-what-you-want download.1. CHANTS - Seven Billion Spheres

w/ Emily Glass, 're:utada aquae editttttttt'

🎇

I've got bones to pick from my teeth.

Your skull cracked open,
the air opens you.
No body, just a fucked face,
an asteroid from point to point
breaking up into me,
dissolving into me.

One memory fits all.
One memory fits all.

Every fuck, every touch
trafficked as one final feeling
like a twig in a river.

Last Phone Call (w/ Emily Glass)

w/ ssaliva, 'I Appreciate Your Concern'
-

It’s not your fault that I’m away from here.
It’s not your fault that I’m breathing anew.
It’s not your fault that I’m feeling good.
It’s not your fault that when I touch myself I don’t think of you,

but I appreciate your concern.

It’s not your fault that my face has healed.
It’s not your fault that I sing for five of you now.
It’s not your fault that I get broken in by choice now by others,

but I appreciate your concern.
I appreciate your concern.

It’s all my fault that I learnt to love again.
It’s all my fault that I can smile in the mirror.
It’s all my fault that I listen to my own will,

but I appreciate your concern,
but I appreciate your concern.

MICHAELBRAILEY 'the broken heart is more than a metaphor it is terraforming in action'
APR125 | Out May 29

Pre-order: astralplanerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/t…-action

Music Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJXV6V5BSdQ

Currently studying multimedia composition in Hamburg, MICHAELBRAILEY has spent the past several years cultivating the ground where text, lo-fi and hi-fi sound meet. the broken heart is more than a metaphor it is terraforming in action is his most concise personal statement to date, as well as his APR debut, an examination of love as a selfless, celebratory one-way transmission.

Across four tracks, the Manchester artist explores lossy love as a product of post-digitality, reimagining data’s journey through the sky, across mountains and over oceans as worthy of dedication in and of itself. the broken heart seeks to elicit sensations of overwhelm, filtering an entire field of human emotion into a single, fallible human experience.

EP opener “feathered comet” functions as a sensitive biological system narrowed into the scope of a sonic field, only to seep and swell beyond its boundaries. Voice is a tensile quantity, a control factor in a system constantly threatened by hard and soft noise. “waters of love” follows as steady crescendo, an overlay of voice and voice-to-text culminating in cries of “I wonder if he feels it” and an insatiable whirl of strings and digital clicks.

“remove protection” follows as the broken heart’s most defined pop moment, an almost big room outgrowth that tethers protection and innocence in an almost intolerable dance. As closer, “a bridge to you” features the stripping away of all else, leaving only dermal surface for voice and sprightly noise to scurry and flit across.

Short in length, the broken heart emanates a sensuous fatigue, the result of a virtual condensation process transmuting love across the heart-tech interface. The EP is out digitally on May 29.

MICHAELBRAILEY - waters of love [APR125]

Out May 29, pre-order it here: https://astralplanerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/the-broken-heart-is-more-than-a-metaphor-it-is-terraforming-in-action

@michaelbrailey is debuting on @do-the-astral-plane with the 'the broken heart is more than a metaphor it is terraforming in action' EP.  The nulti-disciplinary artist - who curates Manchester's VIRTUALLYREALITY event series - sequences the tempestuous, spiralling complexity of conveying love into four compelling tracks.

'remove protection' is simultaneously wild and vulnerable, with soft mumbling and hesitant piano keys dancing between pulsating chords. At the midpoint, the track takes off into an electrifying club-ready crescendo.
