Cycle

Vrihi, from Sanskrit "rice," is a sonic exploration on the value of vocality as a bearer of stories.
Multiple voices and granular textures are continuously fragmented, reassembled and juxtaposed into new forms.
Each track resonates with the repetitive, rhythmic motions of manual labor, capturing the tireless
gestures of workers lost to time. 
A unique and rich sound-world recalled by archival recordings and dense sound masses that barely reveal a trace of a body or identity.

This is maybe the most unexpected show I performed so far. The Next is a little nightclub located in the middle of the historical centre of Strasbourg. It's a neat venue, with a nice staff and a good sound-system, but one can say it's very mainstream music-driven, so the odds to hear experimental, or even electronica stuff there is near zero.

Actually that was quite a challenge for me to adapt my style to this peculiar place. I had to find the right balance between my usual weird no input sounds, and some more musical/danceable elements, so I wouldn't lose the whole audience instantly. Turned out it worked pretty well, as people looked like they were really enjoying the moment. Interestingly, the most receptive were the younger part of the audience. I remember that the deeper we went into the expedition, the larger was the physical separation between the older ones, chatting and smiling in the background, and the younger ones, nervously dancing and headbanging just in front of me.

Thank you very much Nico, Mich-Mich and all the Kollectiv Wolfgang for trusting me and making this weird crossover of genres happen, thank you Ricardo for the great conversation, thank you Flipper for hosting the party, and thank you Crash Server for recommanding my name to the team. It was both a fun and interesting project to work on.

PS: The water sound you can hear in the beginning comes from the entrance of the Next.

Expedition 20: SXB2 (Next) [Intro]

This is the 3rd of 3 album preview pieces for the album "above a darkness of earth." Our wish, with this piece and with the whole album, is to offer a calm, meditative piece to help towards a deepening connection with the earth and each other. 
Hear/download from BandCamp here...https://darkpebble-bluewave.bandcamp.com/album/above-a-darkness-of-earth
Thanks from the team, Henry Koek, Paulo Chagas, and myself, Wilhelm

Here is the poem that I wrote which inspired this music:
Hum, just above, a darkness of earth

River runs nearby,
gurgles and murmurs, 

sounds out 
under submerged tree trunks, 
pale and immersed in the flow.
Blackness of deep night 
has 
already settled here.

Still,
fine, serrated leaves whisper with the wind,
gently hover over darkness.

Stems from last year
still 
rise up,
Still,
connected to dark earth.

Purple blossoms, in rows of hearts
Still,
hum quietly 
to each other,
just 
above a darkness of earth.

Hum, just above a darkness of earth

A deeply emotive, vocal-like synth melody emerges, weaving through intricate layers of sound and driving percussion, creating a powerful and uplifting atmosphere. This track masterfully combines driving energy with profound melodic expression, culminating in a cinematic and immersive experience perfect for dancefloors and introspective moments alike.
