Nattskevor & Jeremiader is a collection of jeremiads, or musical hymns meant for the night. Noisy piano harmonies and broken synth pads compose a symphony of nostalgia, where darkness whispers its secrets and resonates with the echoes of long forgotten dreams.

The Swedish album title translates as Night Skews & Jeremiads, which was early 20th century working class street talk referring to shady individuals (Nattskevor) and mournful complaints (Jeremiader). Per found these words in the book Kungens Rosor (1944) by Moa Martinsson.

The album was made using modular synthesizers and old tape recorders. Especially important gear include: Expert Sleepers Disting Ex, Rossum Panharmonium, Monome Ansible, Ciat-Lonbarde Cocoquantus, Chase Bliss Thermae, and Nagra iii.

Aprilafton ii is a remake of a song first released on the compilation album Inter-Galactic Sonar Communications Probe Vol.1 by Nādāsana.

Epoché iii is the third (and likely not last) remake of the original Epoché.

Tape loops are a closed path, a cyclic river, a ring around a far planet. They’re similar to our memory, continuously reenacting an artefact that belongs to a precise point in time, brought back in a process of recall where that artifact slightly and slowly becomes imprecise and shifted. An unrested repetition carved into an old pavement, in a city where every generation leaves a new mark, a new incision and maintains an endless process of birth and deterioration. Sonus Ruinae’s synthesizers sounds are gently laid on that closed path, put in a locked repetition and engaged into that eternal dance.
While growing up with computer music influences, ranging from glitch to the new century Roman electronic scene, Marta De Pascalis developed her musician skills under the spell of the Italian sound labs sphere, from Gruppo di Improvvisazione to Battiato and other masters that influenced the global movement of sound designers. Her earliest Live performances already showed a special character of improvisation and structure, reduced slowly to become essence, made of synthesis and magnetic tape. Her album Sonus Ruinae is a canvas of harmonics and a sublime place where things are whole, where your first listen is engraved just like that ancient city’s pavement, and Marta endlessly writes beauty on top of it, layer after layer.

Marta De Pascalis - Sonus Ruinae Part 1

Enshrouded in high-pitched static and elusive fumelike oscillators come "Sundowning", a new mini-album signed by Preston Weippert's most prolific alias, aka Volunteer Coroner. Co-founder of the Colorado-based Trust Collective label, Weippert's music vectors a collection of desolate murals often painted with industrial-grade fuel. A low-resolution picture of oil fields burning from your window seat. Closed eyelids against the sun, into the red.
