I’m comforted to know that I have all the time in the world. 
I’m devastated to know that what I do right now is really important. 
As important as what I’ve done is, 
And also as important as what I will do will be. 

I’m devastated to know that it matters.
That it matters that I couldn’t look them in the eyes.
I’m devastated to know that it didn’t mean anything new. 
That It meant that I was fading again. 
Fading into the background, fading into the foreground, it doesn’t matter. 
My state of being was changing, and it felt real. 

I’m comforted to know that I don’t know how long it will take. 
I’m comforted to know that I don’t fantasize anymore. 
At least not as much as I used to. 

I used to envision all the possibilities. 
To imagine everyone I used to know, watching me being close with all the people I have yet to know. 

To imagine that the people I used to know would be impressed by the company I will be keeping, in the future.

That they would like what they were seeing.

I liked imagining that they would be surprised. 
I used my shame to my advantage back then. 
The more I was embarrassed by who I was, the easier it was to imagine the admiration people would feel while watching me become. 

But I’m here now, and they're definitely not watching me.

So here I am, here, and I’m a bit scared by her urgency, but I don’t interrupt her, because I’ve wasted far too much time laying bricks. 

I'm fading again and
She says there is only one thing to do.
I keep fading, but she's saying -
I keep fading into her, keep fading past her, 
she says, 
there is only one thing we can do. 

we have to stop everything - stop eating, stop drinking, stop accepting. 

I tell her I’m in. 
She says we can still smoke cigarettes. 
She fears no one else will join. 
I wrap myself in orange blankets, I light small red candles, I sleep very lightly in my IKEA BED IN BERLIN.

I'm in. If we do it, if we really do it, they have to listen, right?

If we all stop everything, they have to CEASE FIRE, right? 

And if we stop everything, and never start, and we say now, and we say now means now, and we never stop saying it until they have stopped killing people, displacing people, and breaking everything they have.. then.. 

Then all of a sudden, I’m somewhere else, and I am eating, drinking, and accepting, like my life depends on it. 
I am laying brick after brick after brick. 

All of a sudden I'm not stopping. I am making food, cleaning, and keeping things light. All of a sudden I have something to lose. I have to keep living. Nowadays I'm sleeping in a totally different IKEA bed which isn’t in Berlin, and it’s got white covers and baby blue sheets, and I’m comforted to know that what I'm doing right now is really important.

I have all the time in the world, but I wonder how much time there really is in the world…

softiletta is a Berlin-based creature with Italian roots and a deep interest for the human experience, both at the individual level and in connection to others.

flusterbrew3 is a spoken word poet who previously performed original pieces live at the Synthetic Tales for CTM Vorspiel 2024. But for this prerecorded Synthetic Tales, they taped a reading of part of a poem by Kristina Lugn, with each stanza echoed by Klara's own English translation. They then gave it to ismilianis to add music, noise, and texture.

ismilianis is a sound artist who's been followed by death for the past year. the mountains called, they found a goblin in a gathering of witches and it told them about the waves of life.

Just as pearls reflect in boundless directions, silver pearl traverses through the deep and dubby spectrum, where depth is both heard and felt. With moments of both intensity and introspection, her sound moves fluidly from the crushing lows of the 140 range to the flow of textured half-time, dnb, and IDM. Layering experimental elements with club rhythms, silver pearl’s sets breathe with the room.

Krohm’s work is often described as uncanny, psychotic, and exploring the subconscious, focuses on essential aesthetics and a process-oriented approach rather than just callous technicality. 
With Eremit, now Berlin-based, Krohm set the cornerstone outside of the visual arts realm, releasing music from friends and hosting the first parties featuring DJs such as DJ Stingray 313, Nørbak and Lea Ochhi. Partnering with her betrothed as IKYA, they are continuing Eremit and expanding it to more deep-listening realms, while staying true to its hermit core.

Brazilian-born and Porto-based, Albin operates like a long-evolving system: looping, expanding, mutating—yet never collapsing under the weight of its own ambition. His sets are studies in contrast and control, moving freely across ambient, dub techno, house, broken rhythms, and low-end-heavy mutations. Each transition feels both intuitive and precisely engineered, held together by a sense of internal logic that resists easy categorisation.
