система | system presents release: "Immigration Sounds Like..." EP by Ukrainian/Odesa-born and France/Ukraine-based artist Ivan Samokrutkin.

Ivan Samokrutkin’s "Immigration Sounds Like..." is an intense sonic exploration of forced displacement/forced immigration brought on by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, capturing the emotional, psychological, and existential experiences of those uprooted by war and violence. In this release, Ivan reflects on one of the most significant episodes of his life, evoking the deep feelings of loss and dislocation that accompany forced migration. The album immerses the listener in the surreal, often nightmarish reality of being severed from one's homeland, language, and identity, using abstract soundscapes and fragmented melodies to convey these struggles.

This album is composed of sketches recorded in varied environments under uncertain conditions, enhancing its raw, authentic quality. Through personally recorded field sounds gathered across various European locations, Samokrutkin captures the transient, unstable nature of the immigrant's journey. Sounds from train stations, airports, and foreign cities symbolize the continuous adaptation and survival in a disorienting world. Each sound tells a story of movement and resilience, bringing to life the experience of navigating unfamiliar spaces where every noise, language, and rhythm feels alien.

The sounds reflect not only physical displacement but also the internal fragmentation of identity. Samokrutkin explores the gap between past and present, where the immigrant oscillates between longing for what was left behind and the challenges of integrating into an unfamiliar culture. The album also mirrors the surreal experience of life in a foreign “language matrix,” where partial comprehension symbolizes the immigrant's existential struggle: Who am I now in this new and often hostile world? ~ This question echoes throughout, resonating for all who face displacement and identity fragmentation.

Through dissonant melodies, layered field recordings, and polyrhythmic structures, Samokrutkin conveys the fractured nature of the immigrant's life, caught between memory and reality. Improvised sounds and environmental recordings highlight the unpredictable nature of forced migration, from urban chaos to isolated solitude, immersing the listener in displacement's emotional highs and lows. This sound design reflects the immigrant's existence as a fragile and fragmented experience, striving to balance memory and survival in a continuously shifting environment.

"Immigration Sounds Like..." transcends audio; it is a profound reflection on survival and adaptation in an existential crisis. Through its spontaneous recordings, emotional depth, and philosophical exploration, Samokrutkin’s release is both an intimate personal account and a universally resonant study of forced displacement caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. By capturing both the external sounds of foreign places and the internal turmoil of the immigrant’s mind, he invites listeners into a world where everything is uncertain. Through sound, a fragile thread connects past, present, and an ever-uncertain future."

Seoul and London-based @yonvonkim is rooted in a background of embodied awareness, and her sonic world embraces both analysis and intuition. With a foundation in biotechnology, she approaches sound as an ephemeral architecture shaped by attention, touch, and subtle transformation, evoking sensation and structure. By moving gently through emotional terrain, embracing vulnerability, drift, and moments of raw presence, music becomes a fluid medium through which to listen with the body and hold space for ambiguity, tenderness, and transience. A resonant, liminal space of becoming.

The original I’m Wild, Oh I See was part of REPVII released in 2017. Remixed by Id!r and Theus Mago. They gave the track a more dancefloor orientated feel. The two Remixers met and became friends back in 2014 in Paris. This is a swift and thunderous collaboration between the two, made in Theus studio in Mexico City. Theus Mago is the alter ego of Mexican producer Mateo González.

система | system presents new release: *В поисках утраченных ограничений* (*À la recherche du privation perdu*) by Ukrainian/Odessa-born and France/Ukraine-based artist systemnapotvora / системнапотвора.
This release is an audio study of the feeling of deprivation from native language and culture; the study of the experience of changing cultural leitmotif and adaptation to the new social system; the study of the gap between cultural codification; the study of the implantation process of foreign cultural codes into a personal reality.
New intimacy.
The study of the feeling of "loss" in a foreign speech matrix. Partial understanding and partial speculation about some unexpected meanings.
Effect of a dream with straight but polyrhythmic drums structure, different levels of sounds and field recordings like memories which are mixed in the anxious ambiance under fragile melodies.
This project is intended to transfer some of these anxious feelings of "being lost in language & its meanings" and bring them out with a sonic structure.

released December 30, 2019

Whole childhood he was inspired by Classic Rock and Shoegazing Brit Music. Later discovered world of electronic sounds by touching JUNO-6 for the first time, what made a substantial effect in his future life. 
After a lot of years of practising playing guitar, keyboards, drums and everything what make sounds, Aurum Miles finally started producing some kind of Weird Electronic music combining Rock, Psychededic and Electronic Sounds.

Now, Aurum Miles is continuing producing electronic music and searching for new fresh sounds. 
You won't see Aurum Miles playing in the disco very often. But if you get lucky to witness that...just...please..."don't burn your house on Sunday morning".
