Landscapes volume 1

Positions

Old time electronica conjured up memories of old 80's dance records and their stock sounds, 808s 909s 303s and FM synth patches. Oh and arpeggiated synth lines, reverbed snares and stuttering vocal samples. Happy days.
I didn't want to create a piece of faux dance music as I haven't a funky bone in my body, back then I would mosh to industrial music rather than shake my booty so it explains why the drum track is rather rigid and metronomic. Most of the synths lines are from a tb-3, the exceptions are a couple of lines played on a plug in emulations of vintage gear. 


--------------------------------------------------------------
The Assignment: Produce an original piece of music that fits the genre “old-time electronica.”

All Disquiet Junto projects employ constraint as a means to stimulate creativity and productivity. Sometimes this means limiting oneself to specific source material, other times to a conceptual approach, and there’s always the additional constraint of time: the deadline is approximately four days, depending on your time zone.

For this Disquiet Junto project, the constraint is a matter of terminology. This week we’re exploring how the concept of “genre” can itself serve as a restraint, and we’ll accomplish this by pushing back at genre conventions.

The project instructions are straightforward: Record an original piece of music that you feel belongs within the genre of “old-time electronica.”

Restrictions: You can use any source material, any instrumentation, except the human voice.

False Memory(disquiet0137-oldtimeelectronica)

SERA023: Satellite Era presents “Aetherial Pulses EP” - a futuristic sound collage by Mhamed Mansouri, best known as @disektor.

Out now on all major platforms: ffm.to/sera023

Wrapping up our most active year at the Satellite Era HQ finds us taking a glimpse into what is to come. With 2025 looking to be even busier, we call upon an old friend to guide us into the unknown by setting a strong sonic precedent, while still paying homage to the formative style of our vast audio museum.

Over two years since his label debut on our acclaimed Distant Arrays series, we welcome back Moroccan based producer, sound designer, programmer, and visual artist. He first landed on our radar as a standout in SoundCloud’s experimental niche back in early 2020, the same year as our imprint’s conception. Complementing his production are interactive live performances that utilize creative coding, which generate varied results with each passthrough and are repurposed back into his workstation - a feedback loop tested for success. Founder of Geometric Corruption, the collective works in tandem with us and our friends at glitch.cool to tend to the international community, bringing together experimental electronic enthusiasts from around the world. Rather than conforming to a set approach, he builds on the high-fidelity hyperglitch subculture with a twist of his own - songs that feel more musical and intricate overall. This attribute has ultimately led him to his next offering to the consumers of computer music.

“Aetherial Pulses EP” finds Disektor teetering between digitized realms & the natural world, taking the form of a sonic poem that exhibits glitched maximalism & melodic tones alike. The project still delivers stuttering drum patterns meant to engulf the listener, but also paints the rest of the stereo with a coating of lush ambiance. The project begins with “Reflections,” a mellow entry with a grueling bassline that progresses into a preview of the complexity ahead. The title track serves its purpose as a clear summary of the EP, while heightening the energy with vocal chops that feel almost psychedelic at times. The pulsating synths really begin to take form in “Lush Deviation,” a middle-ground between heavy low-end presence and percussion riding higher frequencies. “Emergence In Motion” recruits frequent collaborator Tenebral Cortex to deliver a seven-minute cinematic experience of its own, which feels like a separate story within the entire narrative. “Waves” is a formidable end to the project, with an eerie yet beautiful piano melody in the outro that leaves it open-ended.

Although “Aetherial Pulses EP” is only Disektor’s second-ever extended play, the project is easily his best and most emotive work yet - a stepping stone for what is next on his musical agenda. The undertones speak of finding senses of tranquility in the decaying Earth around us however we can. It perfectly contributes to our DNA as servants of the experimental intersection and delivers a memorable, sometimes challenging journey.

Morpha & Ellen — Two Hearts, One Rhythm

In the ruins of Holmgard, where light rarely survives, something rare was born. That is where Morpha and Ellen met — two souls beating in different rhythms, yet merging into one wave.

Morpha is drawn to the raw pulse of sound, his blood burning in the fields of mental techno and tribe. Ellen is a conduit of light through darkness, her spirit unfolding in the streams of trance and the depths of hypnotic techno.

Alone, their music reflects different worlds. Together, it becomes alchemy. Their duets turn into bridges between chaos and contemplation, fire and mist. Wherever they play, the darkness does not vanish — it begins to dance.

In Holmgard, they are known as the ones who proved that even in a world of ruins, there can be a union where love resounds louder than the apocalypse.

One of the things I look for in audio equipment is sound quality, but I'm also drawn to the joy of listening to music and the unique, powerful sound pressure.

By powerfully updating past recordings, it makes them more compatible with the latest music.

Born from a year of experimentation and reflection, Yasei's debut album on Optic Portal emerged in an off-grid studio in the Spanish mountains near the sea, where living in harmony with nature shaped both process and sound. Tested on the dancefloor yet conceived in solitude, "Hanakaze" merges organic atmospheres with shifting rhythmic architectures into immersive, genre-fluid techno with echoes of drum & bass and ambient. It’s a sonic statement that captures both intensity and emotion, a reflection of Yasei’s evolving sound identity.
