Our next offering comes from the Highlands of Scotland as Beira presents her debut, “Scry”.

Beira is a producer from Inverness that draws influence from occultism, mythology, paganism and Wicca.

The blueprint and construction of this release is a little different than usual….

Beira came up with the idea for the “Scry” project whilst doing a deep dive through the Bricolage catalogue looking for inspiration.

Her idea was to take stems/samples from eight different producers on the label and rework them into and alongside some of her own 'WIP' productions that she had been struggling to find further motivation for.

Adding these extra potions to an already simmering cauldron of her own sounds and breathing new life into what she describes as a "dormant elixir".

The result is a fascinating collections of disintegrated and mercurial soundscapes that conjure up all manner of moods but also leave room for the imagination. Atmosphere and woven textures take precedence in the process.

The more ambient numbers that begin the EP bring a raw and abstract tension before the pace picks up and we're introduced to some dark and dubby, bass driven, rhythmic tracks. Hacked apart beats that get stitched back together and swirled around. The surreal and otherworldly tension remains in the second half but now with a late night fire burning and an invitation to dance around it.

There's a strong nod to feminism and Scottish mythology throughout that tells a tale of Witchcraft and days gone by. The perfect soundtrack for the Halloween season.

"Scry" melts, bubbles, froths and crackles. It's a beguiling record from a nascent producer that gives us a peek into the past and the present. Into the potential that's yet to come. Into the future. Into oneself. Thus, to scry.

Spirit voices is my fifth release and the first one self-released on my own label ETRNL

it’s a landscape of ethereal, haunting melodies that embraces a mix of influences, from dark emotional industrial techno to dreamy shoegaze, crafted entirely with analog synthesizers

this ep explores the existential thirst for the divine and the mysterious

artificial light shines in the darkness of a deserted house, and the sound resonates through empty rooms from which the spirit has departed

SXCL - They/She/He

Cécile aka SXCL is a Creole Reunionese DJ and producer based in Berlin. SXCL merges their moods and emotions into each of their sets. Their eclectic taste has led them to explore a diverse range of genres, including post punk and wave, old school techno, all kind of house, and breakbeat, and more recently dubstep.

Notes on the Mix ///

"Dreaming last forever, even beautiful nightmares ... until your alarm rings and you have to get up for work. This mix feels like a longing for someone or memories from the past. Going back to a time of innocent lingering in the sun. 

Spinning some 90s progressive trance, old-school techno and 2000s tech-house infused with retro and modern sound synthesis."

XOXA BLEND 229 - SXCL

On this episode of F.B.I. Pathology Report, we explore the infamous Hungerford Massacre, 1987, UK.

In the morning of August 19, 1987, 27-year-old Michael Ryan (born May 18, 1960) went on a killing spree of 16 people (15+ injured), including his own mother and an unarmed police officer,  Ryan later turned his gun on himself and was found dead by the police, inside the local school he used to study as a child.

Witnesses spoke of a heavily armed man in combat gear, using 2 semi-automatic rifles, an M1 Carbine and Beretta Pistol, opening fire without warning. Some of the witnesses also referred to him looking like "Rambo".

The Firearms (Amendment) Act 1988 was passed following a report that had been commissioned by Home Secretary Douglas Hurd.

No firm motive for the killings has been established.

"Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before" by The Smiths was not released in the UK as a single due to the Hungerford Massacre. Morrissey stated to Len Brown in 1988, mentioning the line about mass murder on the track "They said (Radio One) people would've instantly linked it with Hungerford and it would've caused thousands of shoppers to go out and buy machine guns and murder their grandparents."

Leer Ansturm is the moniker of JHP (John Philippakis, London, UK b. 1986) who also plays as YOUTH MOUNTS THE BARRICADE and CONCRETE STARS with more to follow soon. The project has been active since 2014. Based in London, UK, LEER ANSTURM is an ambient audiovisual exploration of an empty post-industrial totality. 

LEER ANSTURM’s most recent LP ‘Necropolitan And The Stature Of Space’  is available to purchase via SPAREORGAN records (USA) in both physical and digital formats.
Currently JHP is working on his on publishing company Editions ηρ (named after the Myth of Er) soon to release his first photography book on SPAREORGAN and more new sound projects to come.

Copies of the Editions ηρ 002, a photobook and in depth interview with Jim Mroz are available for purchase from The Photographers Gallery Bookshop and Claire De Rouen books physical store, both in London, UK.

Influences are too many to mention, but STARS OF THE LID – ‘PER ASPERA AD ASTRA’ will be very difficult to dislodge as his favourite record.

F.B.I. Pathology Report 016 w/ Morgan Hall invites Leer Ansturm (01.11.24)

Dreams by DimDJ - This release would focus on creating lush, hypnotic soundscapes combining Balearic warmth and Italo, melodic pulse. It should embody the feeling of drifting between reality and dreams on a Mediterranean night, mixing elements of coastal life, sunlit nostalgia, and beachside euphoria.

Dreams

English below

Kastamonu, Küre Dağları ormanlarında oldukça nadir denk gelecek iki farklı göçün kesişimin ses manzarasına şahit olduğum için kendimi şanslı ve bir o kadar da kaygılı hissediyorum. 

Kayıtta duyduğumuz kuş Turna. 
Ana göç yolu hattı olan Orta Karadeniz'den güneye ve kuzeye doğru gerçekleşir. Şu an sonbahar göç günlerinde güneye doğru göç ederler. Orta Karadeniz ile Adana-Osmaniye arasını sık kullanırlar. Genelde gruplar halinde göç eden turnalar yüksek sesleri ile iletişim kurarlar ve bu onları bir arada tutar. 

Yavaş yavaş fade-in bir şekilde turnaların geçişini duymaya başlıyoruz, ona aynı anda benzer bir şekilde uçak sesi de eşlik etmeye başlıyor. Uçağın da turnaların da peak yaptığı nokta aynı oluyor. Sonra turnalar da uçak da fade out olup yavaş yavaş kayboluyorlar. Biyolog ve ornitolog arkadaşım bu denk gelişte oluşan turna seslerinin uçakların sesini tehdit olarak algılamasından kaynaklanabileceğini söyledi. 

Bu bir tehdit olsun ya da olmasın, antrofonik yüksek bir ses göçmen kuşların göç davranışlarını ne kadar etkiler? İki farklı göçün kesişimi olarak yorumladığım bu kayıt aynı zamanda beni insandan öte düşünmeye de iten bir pratik. En basidinden göçmen kuşlar kıtalar arası toplayıcı ve taşıyıcılardır. Bu döngü biyolojik çeşitlilik için oldukça önemlidir. Bu "kargo" görevine müdahalenin etkileri bu zinciri koparır. Ekosistem üzerindeki bu akustik etkinin merkezinde olmaktan çıktığımızda ve bunu paylaştığımızda oluşacak diğer etkileri yeniden değerlendirmemiz gerektiğini düşünüyorum. 

Not: Kayıt gece yarısında kaydedilmiştir. İkinci dakikada kulaklıkla dikkatli dinlediğinizde kanat seslerini de duyabiliyorsunuz. Derin bir orman olduğu için turna sesi birden fazla kez yankılara sebep oluyor.

I feel both fortunate and somewhat anxious witnessing the soundscape created by the rare intersection of two different migrations in the forests of Kastamonu's Küre Mountains.

The bird we hear in the recording is the crane. Their main migration route stretches from the Central Black Sea towards both the south and north. Currently, during the autumn migration period, they are moving southwards, frequently using the Central Black Sea to the Adana-Osmaniye region. Cranes, which typically migrate in groups, rely on their loud calls to communicate and stay together.

We gradually begin to hear the cranes fading in, and simultaneously, a similar airplane sound joins in. The peak of the cranes and the airplane coincide. Then, both the cranes and the plane fade out and slowly disappear. A biologist and ornithologist friend mentioned that this alignment might result from cranes perceiving the airplane sounds as a threat.

Whether or not it is a threat, how much does a high anthropogenic sound impact migratory birds' behavior? This recording, which I interpret as the intersection of two different migrations, also encourages me to think more-than-human perspective. At the most basic level, migratory birds act as transcontinental gatherers and carriers, which is vital for biodiversity. The consequences of disrupting this 'cargo' function break the chain. When we step away from the center of this acoustic impact on the ecosystem and share it, I believe we need to re-evaluate other potential effects.

Note: Was recorded at midnight. When listening carefully with headphones around the second minute, you can also hear the sound of wings flapping. Since it’s a dense forest, the crane's call causes multiple echoes.

from 'Eventual'
901 Editions (Italy) (9ED031)
CD + digital / edition of 300

OUT NOVEMBER 14, 2025

Los Angeles-based sound artist, composer and LINE imprint curator Richard Chartier returns to 901 Editions with Eventual, his first solo album for the label. This work follows two collaborations with fellow American artist Yann Novak (Undefined, 2013), and Dutch harpist Gwyneth Wentink as Pinkcourtesyphone (Elision, 2016). Eventual probes the nuanced interrelations between sound and silence, engaging audiences in attentive listening and a heightened sense of spatial and temporal perception. Chartier shapes a terrain of vanishing tones and subtle variations, a quiet tension that dwells within sound’s slow unfolding.
