Apophenia, the forthcoming Lumisokea EP on Opal Tapes, is the culmination of a long period of work on analog hardware and the unique sound transformation achieved with reel-to-reel tape saturation. We've focused on the machine-like and propulsive side of our music, incorporating rhythmical elements coming from south Indian classical music, techno & dub.

Music For The Ride Home

These field recordings listen to the sound of unceded and sacred land. I pay my respects to the Dharug people, the Gundungurra people, the Gunaikurnai people, the Boon Wurrung people, the Wurundjeri people, the Djab Wurrung and the Jardwardjali people as the Traditional Custodians of these lands, seas, skies, ecosystems, and waterways which I have been so honoured to bear witness to, listen to, and pass through.

The Lilac Island in Space is inhabitable only by auditory imagination. An ecosystem shrouded in nostalgia, memory, and all shades of purple. The original recordings from this space were destroyed in an unprecedented collision between microchip and wooden-floorboard. Now existing only as an artifact in my mind, I aim to retrace my footsteps and return to a place of past, present, and future. I hope you make your own trail to follow on this island, and find your own nook to explore.

Perhaps I’ll see you, perhaps I won’t.

Please do leave a note somewhere in your travels for the next person to find.

M. Quake - Annie U R A Bird (Ft. Jonnine)

Released February 14th, 2024

Following 2020’s ‘Fall in Love with Yourself’ — a screwed concrète rework of Eartha Kitt’s famous ‘relationships’ interview — M. Quake makes an auspicious return on Valentine’s Day, this time channelling Annie Lennox’s bittersweet ‘Little Bird’ into a long-form, laid-back and echo-laden groove, with lyrics and vocal accompaniment courtesy of Jonnine.

A major player in the Melbourne/Naarm underground scene, Tarquin has released an array of solo music (LST, Silzedrek, Static Cleaner Lost Reward); co-produced albums with YL Hooi and Carla dal Forno; played in cult groups Kallista Kult and F ingers; and appeared on labels like A Colourful Storm, Low Company, Blackest Ever Black and Efficient Space.

Circular Reference

Pigeon Blood Part 2

‘alma blindada’ is an album about human violence as a force of nature. of the geographic and cultural entropy caused by people and their lives and their toil and their pursuit of money and power and joy.

we came to this via heavily following border war and cartel violence news/corrido lore, the power vacuums, the cannibalization of heroes and villains and how who’s who morphs depending on what side you’re rooting for or what area you’re from. we knew we wanted full unironic corridos, we knew we wanted songs and not just world building exercises.

alma blindada means like armored soul, or bulletproof spirit, and for us this is a phrase of reverence of the vast spectrum of potentiality within each person, to enrich or destroy, to tear down or build up. but ‘blindado’ is also maña slang for a ‘protected’ person. so it fit in with the feeling we were trying to convey. of finding the brutal poignancy of the beheading video or the in jokes in the foot soldiers’ wartime loyalty twitter rant. of remaining friends and riders after passing thru the ringer of war, spiritual or physical. the war of the every day, the high stakes of living and working and making your life on the 3.7 million mile wide sacrificial altar they call america.

alma blindada is out on halcyon veil on july 26, 2024
