Here's a podcast from someone close to our hearts, Hermeneia – a member of the Unsound team as well as a Warsaw-based DJ with wide-ranging taste. Hermeneia opened the main room of the Friday club night this year, building her set patiently as the crowd filled, by effortlessly moving from ethereal passages to darker, more percussive sides of bass music, blending in heavy tunes and Polish rap for good measure.
We were tempted to shorten that set for an attention-deficit Internet, but couldn't find a section we could bear to edit out – so enjoy the full journey...

Unsound Podcast 76: Hermeneia

“As a kid I could never fall asleep without my headphones,” reveals Adam Dove aka Nexcyia, speaking to Rob Turner. “I remember falling asleep listening to Jay-Z and Kid Cudi: it became ambient to me.” London based artist Dove aims to create sonic experiences akin to an augmented reality through sound collages, installations and manipulated video work. In his interview in The Wire 461, Dove discusses Afro-surrealism, the sonification of race, his own introduction to ambient music whilst being hospitalised, and more.

Here, Dove shares a brand new mix featuring tracks by several of his musical acquaintances, and others. “This mix was inspired by a quote from the book Invisible Man (1952) by Ralph Ellison,” says Nexcyia over email, “I now can see the darkness of lightness. And I love light. Perhaps you'll think it strange that an invisible man should need light, desire light, love light. But maybe it is exactly because I am invisible. Light confirms my reality, gives birth to my form.”

“I wanted to sonify the idea that the darkness of lightness can confirm presence,” he continues, “some of the tracks by Racine evoke these feelings, as well as, feelings of otherness and loneliness – I wanted to compile tracks that evoke meditative temple-like atmospheres.”

Sebastiano Carghini @Feierabend Radio - Sept '24

Musician, sculptor, & designer, born & raised in Cyprus, Yakovlev materialises artefacts such as ceramic sculptures, transcendental music & post-societal clothing.

Yakovlev has composed & performed music for live shows, films, virtual realities & art performances since 2018.

Presenting his first mixtape assembled solely with his own compositions, he invites you to dive deep, hand in hand, into a synthetic dream- to sweep through sonic waters into a nonlinear space, to drift & dissolve, to emerge pure again. This is your baptism.

Theorist presents Random Select @ Planet Wax: basic chanel

“Dead eyes” are what you see when the spark of presence is gone, when the gaze becomes flat and unfeeling. They don’t track the world with curiosity, don’t soften with warmth, don’t betray the smallest flicker of life behind them. Instead, they look vacant, as if the person is only half-there—or not there at all.

Psychologists might call it dissociation, emotional numbness, or the drained look of depression. Trauma can hollow the eyes until they no longer shine, leaving only a glassy stare. Burnout, exhaustion, even despair can strip away the subtle movements we instinctively expect, making the gaze uncanny in its stillness.

What unsettles us is that eyes are supposed to reveal the soul. When they go lifeless, it feels as if something essential has slipped away. The body is alive, but the windows look out onto nothing. And that nothing stares back.
