We are glad to share with you Liminal Spaces, our next compilation release (digital only). This V.A. is a collective effort from 8 artists, all invited to explore the concept of grey-area in a way that it would relate to their personal and/or creative realm. A grey-area is very linked to what is known as a liminal space : a transitional location, or a state being, in between two others, often empty, abandoned, that feels cold, nostalgic and slightly unsettling, but also familiar to our minds.

Liminal Space goes into a wide sonic spectrum range. Disturbing spoken words, emotional pop anthems, deconstructed club and disquieting ambient are merged all together here for an unsteady listening experience.

The creative process began just before the war in Ukraine - when we learnt that we were working on a concept so close to such an event, we decided that all proceeds will go to Helping To Leave, a NGO helping people evacuate from areas affected by the Ukrainian war.

electroacoustic composer + revox performer

Théo Fernandez is a French composer and performer. Originally from Toulouse, now based in Paris. He moves through the territories of electroacoustic music. From this practice, he retains a plastic approach to the sound object: the careful, alert collection of sounds that ripen slowly; and find their consequences in the dramaturgy that link them to others. He works mainly with reel-to-reel tape recorders. Tape does not restore but re-deform again. An oxidisable nature that revisits what has been lost with digital clarity; in loops, where each passage carries a certain nostalgia for the future; where music belongs to a moment that may never have truly existed.

Admina is a DJ, producer, visual artist, and founding member of Corp, a platform for electronic music artists and DJs representing individuals on the female and non-binary spectrum. 

They are also part of Arp148, a show that discovers, explores, and represents queer musicians, and they host a podcast show called "Corpcast," which focuses on discussing the queer club scene and creating safer spaces in the music scene.

Their personal projects include feminist poems, audio and video experiments, as well as dance and theater performances.

Music is like music to my ears
