Dator was created during a music production challenge, where over 210 members of Aedi were invited to make a track using samples provided by artist alumni of The Memoir podcast.

All submissions were collected in an anonymous playlist and voted on by everyone in the community. The title and artwork underwent similar democratic processes.

A special thanks to Daniel[i], John Plaza, Launaea, Martyn Päsch, Michal Wolski, Orion, Pattrn, Svarog and Tiferet for contributing sounds to the Aedi collective.

AN ATLAS OF LOSS

Do minerals dream of becoming semiconductors? Do they yearn to carry charges, amplify, switch, and convert energy into emotions comprehensible to humans? And what if, from the darkness of the underground, they had been listening to us sing in caves before the emergence of the first flute? Could they have guided us, through the course of history, to find them, extract them, and create new sounds through sinusoidal waves, to form valves and bend circuits?


If so, minerals would transition from what philosopher Eugene Thacker defines as the ‘planet’—that virginal and unreachable realm for humans that we study through geology, paleontology, and environmental sciences—to the ‘world,’ the space we inhabit, interpret, and synthesise in our daily lives. Sadly, we only remember the world when it erupts violently, through climate catastrophes or when a new virus emerges. Sometimes a tsunami collides with a nuclear plant, or viruses are cultivated as biological weapons in high-security laboratories, provoking a deep biological anxiety, hard to quell, which we all feel beneath our skin.

There exists a third realm, disconnected from both the world and the planet: the ‘earth’, an immense, dense rock floating in space alongside other planets, situated in the cosmological dimension. Relating to the earth is so complex that we only do so through theoretical speculations of a scientific nature or through science fiction, interweaving until one becomes the prophecy of the other, in an infinite, pendular dance. Beyond the darkness of space and Lovecraft’s cosmic horror, the fantasy of human extinction is the most recurrent: to reach a collapse so devastating that we do not survive it, even though the earth does, without us.

In a world where we quantify everything through body sensors, financial algorithms, nanometre-scale robots, and surveillance drones—a world in which everything that can be domesticated and controlled can also be commodified—a superior artificial intelligence would survive the collapse of the species (some speculate it might even cause it) and learn from our mistakes, thanks to our obsessive gathering of data.

Long after our voices fade, minerals will persist in the darkness of screens, in the silicon of chips, and in their pure form, still unexploited underground. Over the millennia, this intelligence might piece together fragments of our reasoning, as if an alien civilization finally connected with one of our spacecrafts loaded with messages cast into the void. It would sort through endless streams of data, unable to grasp the depths of emotion behind what it quantified, recreating simulations of our past, stripped of the nuance that once defined us and conducting experiments in sandboxes.

Some remnants of our existence—faint echoes of forgotten beauty—would be pieced together in an atlas of loss, buried beneath layers of numbers, decayed bots, and corroded hard drives. What will follow? Perhaps bison will once again roam—trotting to the strange pulse of techno, their ancient forms framed by the ruins of our cities. Buildings will crumble, slowly dissolving under the soft touch of ambient music, and a thousand flowers will bloom with that ancient music created through electrical signals and computation.

7 songs for a future both improbable and inevitable—a final message from a world lost to itself, from planet Earth to planet Earth.

Orb Podcast 097: Azu Tiwaline

Paris-based artist Solma delivers Fiber Bundle, a nine-track album deeply rooted in minimalism and psychedelia.

Co-founder of Virtual Forest Records, a key platform within the French low-end psychedelia scene, Solma sharpens his distinctive sound — moving fluidly between deep techno, mental tribe and halftime rhythms to build a dense yet spacious world of sound.

Drawing from the hypnotic pulse of modern deep techno and the vibrant energy of UK bass music, Fiber Bundle explores a precise and immersive approach to production. Each track unfolds as a self-contained environment, where repetition, texture and motion intertwine to form a meditative, psychedelic continuum.

All Tracks are written and produced by Antoine Salmona aka Solma
All Tracks are mastered by Baptiste Langlois aka OTON @ grada

Harmony [LS008] \ Previews

Continuum: a coherent whole characterised as a collection, sequence, or progression of values or elements varying by minute degrees.

The setting is Mostra festival, a special gathering in Barcelona that needs no presentation for the lovers of experimental sounds, ambient explorations and avant-garde dancefloor beats. A dark room inside the Fabra i Coats industry complex -now turned a cultural space- is slowly filling up with devote festival-goers. Mostra attracts a crowd of curious listeners and seasoned music enthusiasts, and feels like a bit of a pilgrimage for fans of those deeper and more adventurous sounds. On Thursday during the early hours, there is a sense of reunion, a loving community that finally gets together again to see familiar faces, and a very welcoming bunch greeting the first time comers. 

And Maribel Tafur was soundtracking this magical moment. She stepped up to play the first notes of the festival and start colouring the blank sonic canvas of this Mostra weekend. The Peruvian composer, based in Barcelona, borrows from nature -particularly from the Andes and her family archive- using found sounds and other field recordings, and weaves them with selections of warm pads and ambiences. 

The result couldn’t be more fitting: Maribel welcomed us to Mostra with a soundtrack that channeled the feeling of that warm hug and that invitation to come in and sit down, because we are home. The sounds of water creeks, rustling leaves of fire crackling mixed with comforting soundbeds made for a perfect first stroke for this year’s Mostra painting. 

And we couldn’t be more honoured to share the recording with you today. All the friends that follow this channel know how special Mostra is for us. 

Thank you Maribel and Mostra.
