-OUS Podcast No.2: Bit-Tuner / Furtherset
@bit-tuner / @furtherset

The -OUS podcast series combines excerpts of live recordings by -OUS artists, as well as guests we've been lucky to invite to perform at our shows. Podcast No.1 featured MM (aka IOKOI), and Anna Homler & Alessio Capovilla. Podcast No.2 combines an excerpt of Bit-Tuner's «Arabian Nights» live performance in Gozo/Malta with Furtherset's extended rework of «Ask Your Existential Core». 

Bit-Tuner's «Arabian Nights» project is based on field recordings from Cairo, as well as samples from tapes bought at local markets and music produced in Egypt's megacity during a residency. The recording presented here was made at «Dorothea.space» - am art space in Gozo/Malta - at a performance night where -OUS artists performed alongside local artists. A live version of «Arabian Nights» was released on tape and digitally via -OUS.

The 2nd part of the podcast presents an extended rework of Furtherset's track «Ask Your Existential Core», originally released on tape and digitally as part of his EP «To Alter and Affect». This extended version was recorded during a residency in Assisi for the Universo Assisi Festival (curated by Joseph Grima). It was performed at the top of Monte Subasio, which lies at the bottom of Mortaro Grande.

-OUS Podcast No.2: Bit-Tuner / Furtherset

Booking/contact: furtherset@gmail.com

Furtherset is the musical project of Venice-based composer and visual artist Tommaso Pandolfi (b. 1995). His compositions’ distinctive traits are melodic loops, synthetic clusters and rarefied ambiences. The project follows a path towards saturation and layering, yet always manages to create voids where listeners can find their place and fill them according to their own focus.
Active since 2011, he has released the EPs “Auras” (2022), “To Alter and Affect” (2018) and “Drawings of Desire and Hate” (2018), as well as the albums “To Live Tenderly Anew” (2020) and “The Infinite Hour” (2023) on the Swiss label -OUS. The 2025 album "Wounds of Melody" marks his debut on Kohlhaas.
His music has been presented at festivals and institutions such as Club To Club, Bad Bonn Kilbi, Triennale Milano, Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi, Istituto Svizzero, MACRO.
He has curated sound or live soundtracks for films and videos by Benedetta Fioravanti, Pedro Maia, Artavazd Pelešjan.

Ink! is known for sets that open windows to musical dawn, or doom. Having explored the vast lands of the Hardcore Continuum since the late 90ies, he continues to be interested in the connections between signal and noise, the in-betweens and the nuances. Feeding from Techno, Rave, Bass and Dub, and often using more than just two turntables and a mixer, Ink! stirs up sets that are invitations to loose yourself in a sea of sound. 

Ink! has shared the stages of clubs and festivals in Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Japan, China, Italy, Hungary and Latvia with acts like Mouse on Mars, Laurel Halo, NHK’Koyxen, Ben Frost, A Made Up Sound, Shed, Andy Stott, S S S S, The Gaslamp Killer, DJ Krush, DMX Krew, Tomaga, Addison Groove, Donna Summer, Dimlite, Cylob, Ceephax, Wisp, or Otto von Schirach.
