Noise Cathedral 852 Hz [Dark Nature Concept]

An unsettling meditation on perception in the digital age. Through dark ambient textures, experimental pulses, and fragments of glitch and cinematic sound, Raw Cognition explores how human awareness burrows into the fabric of our hyperconnected society... restless, hungry, and never quite at ease.

In this world, the human body becomes a metaphor for our digital landscape, and the chigger... tiny, invasive, relentless, embodies human perception: feeding on the endless scroll of content, reacting to the invisible hum of online life, and leaving a lingering psychic itch.

Dig Deeper Little Chigger is a journey into the spaces where technology, isolation, and introspection collide.

Deeper Little Chigger #6

TM404 - SYRA

The evolution of Andreas Tilliander’s moniker TM404 has reached its third stage. The first TM404 album was a heavily self-restricted concept album, live recorded with classic Roland machines. The subsequent album had a more playful vibe, shaped by Tilliander’s extensive live touring. This third TM404 album on Kontra-Musik simply tells the story of what he’s been up to since. The third part of a musical diary, initiated in 2013. 

The TM404 venture might have started out as a dreamy acid dub project, more suited for the chill-out than the main floor. But by popular demand Tillander found himself touring big clubs around the globe and the TM404 sound adapted organically. As a result, the album features tracks like Vactro and Rymdeko: fast paced acidic techno tracks in the same vein as classic Plus 8 releases, but with more space echo. Much more.

But never fear, fans of the classic warm and bubbling TM404 sound. You’ll certainly get yours as well. A substantial portion of this album was recorded in a studio flat in Berlin as part of an artist residency. For obvious reasons, Tilliander could only bring a small portion of his studio gear to this German sanctuary. As a consequence, this album has a more stripped down vibe than its predecessors, which creates more space for Tilliander’s glowing melodies. The last track on the album, a loving homage to Kontra-Musik’s label boss, is a sublime example.

And for the Instagram generation, here’s the short version: The album is called Syra. That translates to Acid. You’re welcome.

KM058 TM404 - Syra PREVIEW

It is undeniable that we are living in uncertain times. For those of us failing to fit the patriarchal neoliberalist mould, we have lost hope in the future. We can see capitalism is not working but we cannot yet envisage an alternative. In a world where security is no longer feasible, the only constant we can rely on is change. Regardless of one’s point of reference, we can understand that every aspect of life, physical and mental is in flux and perhaps this transience is the only thing we can depend on.

This month we have invited @aloisyang to ruminate on these ideas and create an hour of relief from these anxieties. A temporary suspension of reality, where the listener can speculate on alternate modes of existence that reject hetero-patriarchal systems of oppression.

Aloïs Yang is a media artist, performer and experimental musician who produces work that explores the relation and interaction between people, sound, and the external world. The work is influenced both by scientific reference and human imperfection of understanding the nature. Interaction in Yang’s work takes place not just in objective reality, but also inside of intimate experience and imaginative projection. These includes traveling among such varied subjects as brain function, facial expression, micro/macro realities, virtual time-space, starlight, apocalypse, and the beginning of the Universe.
