From the mountain’s peak, a soul, unshackled and formless, slips through the fronds, carried by the breath of the rainforest. She flows downward through currents of golden dust and spectral winds, melding into them. Both water and spirit, she infiltrates all things, seeping into matter in a slow binding of self to the world. Then matter becomes vibration again, in a ceaseless dance of return and renewal. In an amorphous movement on a liquid cadence and reverberant landscapes, she glides with the heartbeat of the forest, neither predator nor prey but part of the cycle.
The Amazon bears a scar, a crevice that absorbs like earth drinking in the remnants of a storm. Sounds coagulate into this open wound, layering and crusting over like sacred clay, not to conceal but to preserve. Like land after rain, it thickens, absorbs, breathes - matter that recomposes itself without erasing the memory of the split, healing without sealing. In this cycle of breaking and becoming, the sacred unfolds. In the heart of the forest, where soil is soaked in memory, the ritual is repeated. The rain slows, its sound diluted in the earth, returned through liquid echoes. There is tension, release, fusion, transformation. The ritual is complete.

In the 2nd EP by Stagno Records, “Amazzone”, Pianeti Sintetici and Simon Oak chart a cycle of renewal with spectral drones dissolving into tactile, liquid pulses. Rolling sub-bass bubbles like water in stone crevices, flutes rise like mist and intertwine with percussions, creating a multi-textured, atavistic composition which weaves a path between the physical and the spectral. Warm, fluid sonorities contrast with sharp, eerie tones, crafting an immersive push-and-pull effect - like the scar’s cyclical opening and closing, a tension between destruction and restoration. The result is primal yet meditative, a sonic mirage where human experience merges with nature’s pulse.

Pianeti Sintetici & Simon Oak - Amazzone (Previews) [SN002AMZZ]

Release Date: April 15, 2025 Format: Double 12'' & Digital

Beyond the Bridge proudly presents the latest EP from Dutch sonic architect Spekki Webu, titled "Neural Network," set to release on April 15, 2025. As the founder of Mirror Zone, Webu masterfully conjures a spectral world where time collapses and frequencies bend, inviting listeners on a mind-expanding journey through sound. His ritualistic compositions transcend conventional boundaries, merging past, present, and future into a singular, fluid moment.
The eight-track EP delves into an abstract landscape of high-intensity frequencies and textural flux. Webu’s sonic manipulations challenge linearity, evoking cyclical movements that oscillate between chaos and order. Each track serves as a kinetic force, pulsating with raw energy and enveloping the listener in immersive sonic architecture. The release also features two transformative remixes from Beyond the Bridge label head K.O.P. 32 and acclaimed producer Feral, each expanding the boundaries of interpretation into new dimensions.

Tracklist:
A1. Polymer Sensor Screening
A2. Biocell Implant

Crystalline oscillations and rounded low-end pressure guide the trip.
