✽ We are premiering the track "Bálna Szigony" from the upcoming debut album by @yibai100 ✽

“Rianás” is a Hungarian word for the sounds caused by the breaking or moving ice plates of frozen lakes and rivers. We were struck by the innovation and excellent detailed sound that Dávid (with mastering by Roland Nagy) created on this song.

☛ Rianás is the debut EP of yibai aka Dávid Gerlei, a first-year electronic music and media arts student at The University of Pécs.

Release date ☛ February 17, 2023 via @exiles-electronics

[Swine Premiere] yibai – Bálna Szigony (EXILES)

[ENG]

‘Exstasis’ explores the relationship between the natural and synthetic. Breaking down the boundaries of life and robotics, its rich ambient textures and natural atmospheres are woven together with icy electronic leads and robotic melodies. ‘Extasis’ conjures up overwhelming emotional waves in chaotic trance soundscapes that are given space to breathe in the air of stripped back naturalistic ambience. The album and its cover art explore the threshold of spirit and technology, creating an abstract convergence of the two and exploring what it means to connect with nature in a mechanical world.

[JPN]

「Exstasis」は、天然と合成の関係を探ります。 生命とロボット工学の境界を打ち破り、その豊かなアンビエント テクスチャと自然な雰囲気が、氷のようなエレクトロニック リードとロボットのメロディーと共に織り込まれています。 「Extasis」は、削ぎ落とされた自然主義的な雰囲気の中で息をする空間を与えられた混沌としたトランス サウンドスケープの中で、圧倒的な感情の波を呼び起こします。 アルバムとそのカバー アートは、スピリットとテクノロジーの境界を探り、2 つの抽象的な収束を生み出し、機械的な世界で自然とつながることの意味を探っています。

Azrel - Dryad

The 33rd release of katharsis is the EP “unearthed, recovered” by the Canadian artist online threat. This release pulls from the dissociated feeling of re-discovering artifacts of remembrance that were once thought to be forever lost, and finding a glimmer of hope as a result. The project accesses a flurry of genres - hard trance, noise, and ambient all find a place here, packing contradicting sounds together in order to birth new sonic possibilities. “unearthed, recovered” is emotional, grotesque and at moments beautiful with its sense of longing and melancholy, a crescendo of tensions followed by an exhale.

On this release, online threat excavates the hidden sonic potentialities of field recordings, samples and synthesis, borrowing their voices to spin immersive narrative tales through his stream-of-consciousness improvisational method. The EP is the artist's third release, following the EP “Memories of Dawns Lost” and the full album “Contrapuntal Transfiguration” on labels surf and Absurd TRAX, besides a couple of self-released tracks and mixfiles. The artwork was made by Matej Mihevc (@h.265_/) who framed and contextualized a painting by Victoria Palacios (@victoriapalacios_), reflecting the sense of decay and reminiscence that the album thematizes.

++ PRESENTATION ++

Inspired by the iconic tradition of the sample pack, the Source Folder series seeks to explore the diversity of interpretations, paths and offsprings that might emerge from a common resource. In each installment, a member of the Global URL Nation provides a sample pack from which other artists are invited to create a new track.

((o))
For this second edition, we welcome long-time collaborator Bademjan - a French artist blending heavily processed instruments with arcane atmospheres and raw emotions to unveil the sublime in their delicate intricacies.

For the project, he drew inspiration from early video game music, challenging 14 artists to collaboratively imagine the soundtrack of an ethereal, otherworldly video game. At the heart of the project is a collection of 25 custom-designed instruments – a unified palette of ambient washes, celestial leads, and weathered textures – that served as the exclusive sound source for the tracks, reminiscent of the creative limitations of the 16-bit era.

((o))
The result is a compilation of 14 tracks by aeria, B E N N, commun des mortels, False Self, Guenter Råler, Indigoblue, jjjacob, Léo Dubois, Levier, Lukann, Peow Beow, Sçlé, Sioban and Sopoorific.

Each track feels like a gateway to its own unique realm, a portal to its own liminal space, where wistful melodies and haunting textures intertwine. While some tracks evoke a tender nostalgia, wrapping the listener in bitcrushed warmth, others explore darker, more mysterious tones – all coming together beautifully as an immersive journey through uncharted dreamscapes.
