birds howl, wind breathes
shapes shift in and out of a blind spot
as the first snow of the season hits the ground
singular flakes leave a thunderous roar

Located in southern Germany tuna draws on his background in film for graphic design & ambient productions somewhere inbetween the tactile and the ethereal. "distant thunder, close to core" is a precursor to his upcoming EP "object permanence" that will be released in early 2024.

as they flicker through the leaves
an afterglow of spring
sets the soil in motion

Fairy-esque synths, digital strings and spectral atmospherics combine to lure you into tuna's “Object Permanence”, out via NYC's Altamira Records on June 14th, 2024. In the release, tuna, real name Julian Schäfer, evokes fractals that combine his glossy audio productions with the lushness of the boreal world.

Represented through a mixture of auditory synthesis and fantastical themes, “Object Permanence” ponders, and then objects to, the idea of immutability. The natural world serves as a metaphor for the concept. An appropriated painting of a shoreline on the EP's cover may seem like a representative moment of nature's beauty and order, but through evaporation, tides, human intervention, and the life and death of millions of organisms that live within, a seemingly static frame is actually representative of a continually changing environment.

The closing song, “Melt Like Water,” encapsulates this theme with a quote by a tribal community elder from Vanuatu in Werner Herzog’s 2016 documentary, "Into the Inferno." “Everything will melt, the stones, the trees, everything, like water.” In our crumbling world, how can one expect any permanence?
