•Assertive•

Don’t say that I will depart tomorrow—
even today I am still arriving.

Look deeply: every second I am arriving
to be a bud on a Spring branch,
to be a tiny bird, with still-fragile wings,
learning to sing in my new nest,
to be a caterpillar in the heart of a flower,
to be a jewel hiding itself in a stone.

I still arrive, in order to laugh and to cry,
to fear and to hope.
The rhythm of my heart is the birth and death
of all that is alive.

I am a mayfly metamorphosing
on the surface of the river.
And I am the bird
that swoops down to swallow the mayfly.

I am a frog swimming happily
in the clear water of a pond.
And I am the grass-snake
that silently feeds itself on the frog.

My joy is like Spring, so warm
it makes flowers bloom all over the Earth.
My pain is like a river of tears,
so vast it fills the four oceans.

Please call me by my true names,
so I can hear all my cries and laughter at once,
so I can see that my joy and pain are one.

Please call me by my true names,
so I can wake up
and the door of my heart
could be left open,
the door of compassion.


This poem was written By Thich Nhat Hanh,
"Please Call Me By My True Names"

Nous sommes très content.es de sortir notre nouvelle compilation ! Conçue comme une traversée introspective, cette compilation est une ode à nos instants de conscience sur le dancefloor, aux immersions sensorielles dans des paysages sonores mouvants, entre clair-obscur et lumière crue, entre nature et abstraction.

English:

We are very happy to release our new compilation ! Designed as an introspective journey, this compilation is an ode to our moments of awareness on the dancefloor, to sensory immersions in shifting sonic landscapes—between light and shadow, raw brightness and deep contrasts, nature and abstraction.

From the mountain’s peak, a soul, unshackled and formless, slips through the fronds, carried by the breath of the rainforest. She flows downward through currents of golden dust and spectral winds, melding into them. Both water and spirit, she infiltrates all things, seeping into matter in a slow binding of self to the world. Then matter becomes vibration again, in a ceaseless dance of return and renewal. In an amorphous movement on a liquid cadence and reverberant landscapes, she glides with the heartbeat of the forest, neither predator nor prey but part of the cycle.
The Amazon bears a scar, a crevice that absorbs like earth drinking in the remnants of a storm. Sounds coagulate into this open wound, layering and crusting over like sacred clay, not to conceal but to preserve. Like land after rain, it thickens, absorbs, breathes - matter that recomposes itself without erasing the memory of the split, healing without sealing. In this cycle of breaking and becoming, the sacred unfolds. In the heart of the forest, where soil is soaked in memory, the ritual is repeated. The rain slows, its sound diluted in the earth, returned through liquid echoes. There is tension, release, fusion, transformation. The ritual is complete.

In the 2nd EP by Stagno Records, “Amazzone”, Pianeti Sintetici and Simon Oak chart a cycle of renewal with spectral drones dissolving into tactile, liquid pulses. Rolling sub-bass bubbles like water in stone crevices, flutes rise like mist and intertwine with percussions, creating a multi-textured, atavistic composition which weaves a path between the physical and the spectral. Warm, fluid sonorities contrast with sharp, eerie tones, crafting an immersive push-and-pull effect - like the scar’s cyclical opening and closing, a tension between destruction and restoration. The result is primal yet meditative, a sonic mirage where human experience merges with nature’s pulse.

Pianeti Sintetici & Simon Oak - Amazzone (Previews) [SN002AMZZ]

"Poison Keeper" is an insect-like creature that wanders through desolate spaces in a compulsive search for a single drop of life-giving water. But the void is not what it seems, as the creature is not the only one thirsty: weaving the path through the tapestry of the unexpected is a must, representing the playful arrangement of the workflow, which first swallows listeners in quicksand but then spits them out to continue this tireless groovy journey.

"Rizoma Granulare embodies the symbiotic relationship between electronic music and the intricate horizontal growth of rhizomes, resulting in a release that finds its roots in a subterranean sound realm, where granular textures and hypnotic rhythms intertwine through an intricate musical ecosystem. Listeners are invited to experience the interplay of stretched grain resolutions and primal bass syncopations pulsing from the depths of each artist's introspection. Flourishing organically, the music branches out in unpredictable directions."
