The latest @fragilex album brings new meaning to the term “labour of love”. It’s an album that’s been in the works for quite some time. The album is inspired by a long term obsession with fractals and their never ending possibilities.

The original production process on the “Curves and Calculus” album began back in 2018 and in the 7 years since its original inception it has morphed and splintered in many directions to allow all the parts of the puzzle to fall into place.

The finished article is a musical maze, brimming with all manner of corridors and pathways to explore. Pulling in inspirations from every angle of the electronic spectrum and integrating them into a mesmerising journey full of colour, serenity and warmth.

We enter and end the trip in an ambient mood but along the way there’s a nod to the psychedelic aspect that is so often associated with fractals, when we take on a trippier tone as the tracks burst into life through twists of intricate drums and flashes of glowing energy and shifts in motion. Mirroring the boundless nature and expansion of infinity.

All the shapes we experience come lined with effervescent melodies, glitchy sonic backdrops, glassy textures and a constant propulsive motion. Always kinetic, looking for the next move, like the fractal.

“Curves and Calculus” is an audio landscape that is constantly evolving. No real beginning, no real end. A symphony of infinite equations.

Human Lessons #107 - Seán

What is the meaning of life in the grand scheme of things? Considering the vastness of the universe and our infinitesimally small place within it... Yet, it is not devoid of meaning, and music is the reason why!

BORDERLINE w/  ANITA DYNAMITA [23.06.25]

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: Gustave Retour - Loop Antenna [LVRTAPE002]

Low Volume Randomization returns with Séance à Trois Corps, a 10-track tape and digital compilation featuring Gustave Retour and co-founders Edouard-Marc and Konalgad. The release includes three tracks from Edouard-Marc and Konalgad, alongside four from Gustave Retour. The title nods to the three-body problem in celestial mechanics—a mathematical study of gravitational interactions between three masses—here serving as a metaphor for the trio’s sonic interplay.

From the first moments of Side A to the final echoes of Side B, the project traverses shadowy rhythms, intricate sound design, and dense textural layers. Atonal ambient drifts into half-step bass pressure, fractured hip-hop grunge mutates into rapid psychedelic techno. A tightly controlled mix: weighted sub-bass, sharp highs, and deliberate negative space. 

Each element, in its subtlety, encourages a three-body solution to the problem, carrying with it the tension of the uncontrollable randomness of things. 

Written and produced by Gustave Retour, Edouard-Marc & Konalgad

Inspired by the novel 'By The Body Of The Earth' by Satprem. A book of the voyage of the soul, which others call reincarnation, a perpetual story which unfolds itself in three cycles or three lives, three islands which are situated in "this land here or any other", apparently in India, Egypt and the frozen lakes of Norway. 

The main charcter - Nil - always in quest of "something else". A new state upon earth for man, free from mechanism and the laws of the mind, who had cast away all for this, given up the world for that of a mendicant Sannyasin. 

After a long and sometimes hard journey he finally discovers a vaster, cosmic consciousness and new perceptions, but finally he realises that he had perhaps gained the freedom of the heights, but lost the earth.

Music From The Body Of Earth

After installing MIDI on the Polysix, I decided to take it for a test drive. You'll hear it along with the TT-303, TR8S, and SH-101. I use the Smackos Tape Slayer effects plugin in Ableton to make it raw and crunchy. This is a one-time take.....'njoy.

Like a Bird (Live at IKLECTIK × Waterloo Festival, St John’s Church, London, 12 July 2025)

This release is a journey, a weaving together of fleeting visions from parallel, yet intertwined sonic realms. It ventures boldly through a rich tapestry of sounds and textures, each track born not from rigid intention but from an unrelenting pursuit of the elusive, those shimmering, transient spaces in the soundscape, like the mysterious limbo of Vaalbara. The music unfolded live, forged in real-time with an arsenal of synthesizers. In these moments, delicate interactions gave way to sudden storms of chaotic experimentation, the machines pushed beyond their thresholds, revealing hidden voices at the edge of collapse. This album is more than a collection of tracks, it’s an open invitation. Step inside, and perhaps you’ll find yourself tapping into the same emotional landscapes that Ruben traversed while creating it: wonder, vulnerability, and the thrill of discovery in the unknown.
