The Elixir of the Screen - شراب الشاشة 

A piece I made in spirit of my feelings living in this dystopian reality where we are forced to absorb the daily atrocities through our screens and bear the constant pain, sadness and feeling of hopelessness, that reminds us that greed and power prevail over humanity…?! Enough!! 
There is nothing else that makes sense than to keep resisting in any form or shape, and to have hope that truth and good do overcome! 

We will never be free until Palestine is free

Dario D'Achille is an italian electronic musician. His vision focuses on evoking a narrative path through music allowing him to focus on content rather than a particular genre. He is always looking for new sounds that he can integrate into his productions. Special attention is also paid to images that are complementary to music, in this way he can offer a more complete and immersive experience

What remains,
the half-forgotten echo of strangers speaking

YOU ARE MY BEST AUDIENCE,...
and I am "Audiomaker" and would like to welcome you to my Soundcloud page. My real name is Torsten Schardt. I have been make music in my spare time for several years. With my small but fine setup, consisting of constantly changing synthesizers, groove boxes, drum machines and a laptop, I produce a wide variety of electronic music styles in my living room, from electropop, to house and techno or even breakbeats. It's a hobby for me and I only do it for fun. So be a little understanding if everything doesn't sound perfect, like it came from a professional studio. 

Soundcloud is my only big stage because I can neither be seen live nor heard on other music platforms.
I hope that you, like me, are looking for new music and interesting sounds and take a moment to listen to me. Because every listener is my audience.
Therefore... Please play my tracks and if you like them, follow me and give your feedback.

Thank you !!!
We hear each other!!!!

Use Knife is the exciting result of the raw synergy between Iraqi vocalist and percussionist Saif Al-Qaissy—who fled war-torn Iraq—and Belgian musicians Kwinten Mordijck and Stef Heeren, known for their passion for analog synths and organic wind instrumentation. 

The band tell a necessary tale of freedom, responsibility and the gulf between the Eastern and Western mindset. Even the instrumentation itself reflects this constant friction; intuitively muddling distorted industrial textures and jerky EBM pulses with brittle Iraqi rhythms and tonalities, Use Knife devise their own distinct harmony against the dissonant global backdrop. 

Debut album 'The Shedding of Skin' (2022) received critical acclaim by The Quietus, Mixmag and Knack Focus, a.o.. They played at festivals such as Le Guess Who?, Sonic City, Videodroom, Grauzone, Botanique, Worm, Wrong Fest, Roadburn, Suoni Per Il Populo, Wave-Gotik-Treffen and We Are Open a.o.

Additionally, ‘Peace Carnival’ was released on Morphine Records —a 10” remix EP featuring tracks from the debut album reinterpreted by Muqata’a مقاطعة, Zoë Mc Pherson, and Rabih Beaini.

Their new album ‘État Coupable’ (March 2025) is mixed by Jerusalem in My Heart's Radwan Ghazi Moumneh, who also created the contrasting ambient 2nd part of the title track, while New York based engineer Heba Kadry (Ryuichi Sakamoto, Nicolás Jaar) handles the mastering. Nihiloxica’s drummer Spooky-J, also laid down a post punk beat on first single ‘Freedom, Asshole’.

Youniss Ahamad crafted Use Knife’s distinct visual language, evoking rawness through direct and distorted imagery, and developed scenography and visuals that truly enhance their live show, creating “an all-embracing vortex that allows those experiencing it to plunge, headfirst, into a hypnotic state that veers between a dreamlike trance and a sensual workout.” (The Quietus)

Their radio show ‘Feeding The Gentry’ airs monthly on Palestinian Radio Alhara.

sound addict without limits back from the death



There is no god, only people using the others' need of finding purpose in their insignificant existence.

There is no satan neither, satan is creation of the "holy" people to keep the believers scared, and thus easily controlled, obeying the true demons which those preachers serve - also people like you and me.

Hell is real, and it is on Earth. If you don't get what I mean, you are either part of the lucky minority or too stupid, or probably both.

The true evil does not like those educated in a way to be able to tell right from wrong without their shepherd.

Being kind to all and everything is purpose good enough. The evil always comes as an angel of light and gradually prevails. Those who truly believe that their purpose is to lead the others in the right direction are to be feared the most.

Providing proper education is fighting against evil. Perhaps your mother or first grade teacher is the real hero - those who fight in wars kill people.

p.s. They might say I'm fucked up.  Some like and pay to watch movies that scare them shitless, often involving a lot of blood and murder – isn’t that fucked up? These days, I can listen to 70-80s and nowadays truly good music more and more rarely. Actually, I have never had my own TV. Тhe TV news I catch in friends or relatives usually make me sad. It seems most people are interested in others' suffering more than anything else - the majority of them definitely deserve their faith.

p.s.2 This is my current view and I don't pretend it is right. It might change, everything changes.
