After the last part of the Corpora trilogy and the "Paralyzed" EP by the label owner Sciahri, Sublunar is delighted to introduce a new artist into their family.

For the last decade, Calum Lee AKA Paleman has steadily built a powerful catalogue of releases showcasing his unique percussive and textural take on electronic music. In 2020 he launched a new alias ‘Fresnel Lens’ that showcases his film scoring work and more experimental, explorative personal works running alongside his continuing work as Paleman. After 2021’s self-released PLMN005, 2 Fresnel Lens albums and a short film OST, Paleman turns to Florence based Sublunar Records in 2022 for his next release and longest work to date - ‘Veiled’. The release encapsulates a considered and focused writing process informed by rhythm, momentum, abstract moods and a desire for tangible visceral sound design orbiting techno, UK experimental electronic music, and early electronics.
‘Veiled’ begins with a statement of precision, opener Bite gallops into action with polyrhythmic vactrol loops and grainy incisive modular sound design. The LP moves through moods, spaces and tempos arriving at the distilled and appropriately named ‘Mandible’ that
chews into the previous tracks' themes with a stumbling urgency and an insectoid textural palette. Veiled feels like the culmination of a decade of Paleman works, a collection of tracks and merged sonics that represents his experiments, his club focused minimal works and his more recent explorations on PLMN and as ‘Fresnel Lens’ with drone, experimental and cinematic work. ‘Veiled’ paves the way for a new decade for Paleman, condensed and focused, whilst simultaneously expressive, experimental and free.

In Place of Matter

On a déjà lu que sa musique était sombre et froide. Elle est aussi belle et subtile. Le producteur Clarence Rise a su développer une identité musicale forte, intense et singulière, où la techno incisive se mêle aux atmosphères glaciales de la coldwave. D’aucuns caractérisent son œuvre d’électronique cinématique ou de “cold techno”, faisant la part belle aux rythmiques complexes, au sound design ténébreux et à la mélancolie contemplative. Auteur de nombreuses sorties sur différents labels (Khoros Records, Chez KitoKat, Bella Ursa, Spazio Magnetico...), ce DJ et artiste Live fait de ses shows de vrais voyages, aussi percutants qu’introspectifs

Artefakt - Diorama

Looking to create warm and energetic atmospheres, @toe_music likes to make you travel into a psychedelic world where music becomes a spirit of its own. She is the mother of the music and visual arts projects @ouroboros-crew and @ewo_collectif.

For this episode, she took inspiration from the Yacurunas, a mythological aquatic people of the Amazon basin living in beautiful underwater cities. The Yacurunas, found primarily in the oral traditions of indigenous tribes, are said to take many different forms, from hairy humans with an upturned head and deformed feet, to the famous Amazonian pink dolphins ... They are usually described as being shapeshifters, capable of taking human form to lure their victims into their clutches, be they fishermen, husbands, or young women... 
Despite the kidnappings, the Yacurunas are generally not considered to be evil. They are incredibly talented healers, and shamans often consult them for advice and remedies.

Chapter I

Passing by the river, you can hear some strange voices. They are appealing. Your fear is overtaken by curiosity. You remember you heard stories about this legend of the people of water, they are spirits protecting the water, they don’t like humans, you know they drown them into the depths of the water. But you can’t stop and you are walking toward these voices. and the more you approach the less you can hear them, maybe the voices are too deep into the water. So you wait patiently. And the more you look at the surface of the river, the more you are absorbed by it. Now your mind is completely hypnotized. You can see them, these beautiful and scary creatures, the Yacurunas, and you fall into the depths of the river.

Chapter II

Now that you are with them, there is no way out. Just accept and your body starts to move, turning into a watery dance. You realize that you can be part of them, just by letting go. They are accepting you the more you accept them, they teach you how to just go with the flow. Feel the vibrations of the water but also of the whole life who started from this world. You can now come back, they are allowing you to return to the human world. And from this moment, you will always remember that the source of life is the water.

in my further attempts to move away from the masculine pumping techno cringe, i came across a jewel named @polygonia, a new, fresh sound, properly (re)seting the bar of what could and should be aimed at creatively. in praise of this inspiring discovery, i left my dark techno bubble and recorded a beautiful spring-sounding set comprised mostly of her music.

‘Where is Agartha? What is the specific region in which it lies? Along what road, through what civilizations, must one walk in order to reach it?.’ Saint-Yves d’Alveydre in 1886

Agartha, the debut full-length album by Japanese producer Wata Igarashi, is a mysterious, divine thing. Named for the mythical secret kingdom, understood as a complex maze of underground tunnels, perhaps designed by Martians who colonised the Earth tens of thousands of years ago, it’s a similarly mystical, perhaps even cosmic trip – but this time, exploring an inner, deeply personal cosmos. Beautifully detailed and bustling with rich incident, it takes Igarashi’s music to new places, which still retaining his unique sonic imprimatur; in this respect, it’s perfectly at home with Kompakt, a label that’s always encouraged artists to make the visionary music they need to create, to take risks and make sideways steps into uncharted territory.

An eloquent producer and DJ, Igarashi has been releasing techno for eleven years now, appearing on such imprints as The Bunker NY, Delsin, Midgar, and Time To Express; he has also self-released his productions via his WIP net label. Throughout, Igarashi has consistently explored his unique approach to techno and electronic music, one that’s eloquent and poised, even when it shifts into more psychedelic terrain; he’s a master at balancing the sensual and the functional, and he has an unerring ear for the right texture, the right tone, at the right time. He brings all of this into Agartha, his most thorough-going expression of self to date.

For Agartha, Igarashi had a strong concept he wanted to explore. Visualising specific scenes from an imaginary film based on the titular secret kingdom, he created soundtracks for those scenes, spending time during the pandemic in his studio, working away carefully at the ten tracks here. Given his background in creating music for television and advertisements, Igarashi is well-placed to explore the marriage of the sonic and the visual in such intimate ways, but freed from commercial concerns, he let his imagination run riot. He also drew on a rich palette of musical influences – techno is in there, of course, but you can also hear the smoky, improvised jazz of the likes of Miles Davis (to whom the album’s title is an indirect nod), and the minimalism and systems music of Steve Reich.

The latter is particularly pronounced on the gorgeous, beatless drift of “Floating Against Time”, where an arpeggiated sequence lingers, lovingly, around your ears for nine blissful minutes, coasting across swooning drones and waves of ambient noise. “Ceremony Of The Dead”, originally composed as part of a Sony 360 Reality Audio spatial sound concert, is a deep pass into systems composition, with various patterns overlaid and interlocking, before a wordless vocal rises from the depths, a gorgeous counterpoint to the swarming textures that gather across the track. On the other hand, tracks like “Burning” and “Subterranean Life” nudge toward Fourth World territory, painting deluxe dreamscapes of uncertain provenance; the title cut is an abstract drift-world, Igarashi painting an alien tableau dotted by shape-shifting creatures.

Agartha’s conceptual framework means that everything on the album sits perfectly together; listening to it in one sitting is a dizzying, lush experience. Its imaginings of inner landscapes recall, in some respects, the nautical, aqueous mythologies of the Drexciyan universe, though from different perspectives. But the result is Igarashi’s own creation, a deluxe, enchanting trip through the visionary Agartha of this unique producer’s cinematic mind’s-eye.
