as AI develops, it’s harder to determine whether only people have senses.
humans have discovered recently the next sense among robots and machines - they called it The 7th Sense - “randomness”. when given a particular task, they began to glitch. orchidvial tried to give machines free will and autonomy - the things that only humans are supposed to have.

“when making this project i always had this machine or algorithm in mind, whose purpose is to generate simple music, which does not hold too much meaning on its own. like background music, which plays in advertisements for example... but for whatever reason, due to an error or maybe the system somehow gaining consciousness and being bored with its given tasks, the produced output sounds warped. the tracks are always deconstructing and reconstructing themselves, sounds and rhythms are appearing out of nowhere.“

✦

“SENSORIK” has been produced using also the 6th sense - “intuition”. the result is an incredibly pleasant experience for a human.

Reconstruct & Reprogram

The 23rd release of katharsis is the collaborative album “Brutal Nature” by label founder jjjacob and various other artists. The idea of the project, which has been in progress for several years, was to extend the artistry to a more conversational form than the classic introverted style of the electronic music composer. The album shaped itself through several exchanges of ideas and stems between jjjacob and the numerous artists of the project.

The final product of the collaborations has a common theme of finding solace in the darkness and brutality of nature. This could be exemplified by the deep melancholy infused with an inner peace of losing a loved one in the mourning song “Threnody” with Hajj, or in the overcoming and healing of both internal and external wounds by the catharsis of music and art on the eloquent track “Trauma” with Bungalovv and Odete. As an introduction to the album, jjjacob and the local Beham created an auditory interpretation of self-blame with movie samples and abrasive low-end explosions, and to conclude it jjjacob and Slikback created the bass-heavy club lullaby “Bonum Nocte”.

The album follows jjjacob's previous two EPs on katharsis from last year, “Journey Before Destination” and “Internal Presence”, but it is his first full-length album since “Body Without Organs” released on the Spanish label Sweat Taste in 2020. The album artwork is a collaboration between jjjacob and Emil Stephensen, with the main motive being a painting by the latter.
