Nile Delta bleeds, a sickly green hue
Emerald swarm descends, breaking through
Jade carapace glints, a horrifying sight
Scarab legion crawls, consuming the light

Explorers came for riches, gems untold
Greed in their hearts, their stories unfold
They plundered the tombs, with avarice deep
Now the ancient curse from its slumber will leap

Jade Scarab God awakes! His wrath takes flight!
A crawling plague of emerald blight!
Punishment rains on the Nile's defiled shore
They sought earthly treasures, now they'll get (gore!)

Infestation spreads, a living tide
Flesh and bone consumed, nowhere to hide
The air thick with buzzing, a sickening drone
The Giant Scarab's vengeance upon them is shown

Their mansions of opulence, now crawling nests
Their cries of despair echo through their cursed guests
Each jewel they coveted, a trigger to doom
Sealed their wretched fate within this jade tomb

Jade Scarab God awakes! His wrath takes flight!
A crawling plague of emerald blight!
Punishment rains on the Nile's defiled shore
They sought earthly treasures, now they'll get (gore!)

No escape from the clacking, the skittering sound
As the jade mandibles tear flesh from the ground
Their wealth means nothing, their power in vain
Under the curse of the emerald rain

Awakes! His wrath takes flight!
A crawling plague of emerald blight!
Punishment rains on the Nile's defiled shore
They sought earthly treasures, now they'll get (gore!)

Green death crawls on... the Nile runs jade...
The Scarab God's fury will never fade!

Jade Scarab God

Water ripples all around, and echoing sounds stretch out into a shady sub aquatic habitat. Its dark corners slowly burst into view as cresting noises reveal fresh caverns teeming with liquid life. This is Sueños Acuáticos, the latest sonic exploration from Lamina, a musical project by French artist, Clarice Calvo-Pinsolle. Built from years of carefully gathered field recordings, the album constructs immersive, detailed soundscapes where watery environments, caves, and forests intertwine with digital manipulations.

Rooted in the myth of the ‘Lamina’, a creature from Basque folklore, the project blends this oral tradition with technology to build a geological myth. The Lamina’s world—a nocturnal ecosystem of water and stone—serves as the foundation for the album’s sound design. Lamina reshapes these natural recordings into something new: stretching, pitching, and layering them to build intricate sound environments that feel simultaneously organic and synthetic. “I transform these sounds much like I would sculpt in ceramics,” explains Calvo-Pinsolle, “by adding, removing material, and imagining landscapes.

Drawing from hydrofeminist and posthuman ideas, particularly those in Astrida Neimanis’ Bodies of Water, the album treats sound like water—shifting, flowing, connecting, and buoying life. Tracks flow into one another without clear boundaries, much like the natural currents they represent. The result is a continuous listening experience, inviting deep focus on texture above melody.

Lamina is exploring the potential of the field recording as a compositional tool. Natural sounds, like trickling water or wind through trees, are processed out of recognition—or cliché. A sense of weightless immersion takes hold as Lamins’a music unfolds, and listeners float freely and choose their own adventure in the Lamina’s home. Less a set of songs than its own evolving environment, Sueños Acuáticos (‘Aquatic Dreams’ in English) is a meticulously constructed work in which we can freely float.

The Genesis story wasn’t about sin—it was about containment. This audio version exposes how the “Fall” was framed, how awareness was criminalized, and how the serpent became history’s first whistleblower.

“Anubis” es un poderoso viaje de música electrónica que fusiona la energía del EDM con la esencia mística del dios egipcio de los muertos.
Sonidos profundos, atmósferas oscuras y melodías intensas se unen para invocar la fuerza y el misterio del más allá.

I mostly write my lyrics myself, always completely randomly, and produce the songs with the help of AI. That's just because I can't really sing and AI is therefore a good tool for realizing ideas. Technology is not my intention, it's the music.

Besides, I don't do this for money or anything like that; it's purely a hobby. It's important to me that people listen to the songs honestly if they like them.

Desde o Brasil, América do Sul, Homero Lazcano (Hombrez) desde os anos 90 é entusiasta na música. Instrumentos, letras, produções independentes e muita experimentação, encontra a cena na qual se usa meios digitais de colocar suas ideias a incubar. Metal na raiz passando por muitas vertentes e sub gêneros, expõe sonhos, insights, temas scifi, ciência, loucura, cultura, horror, bizarro, vida real e outras nuances a tona. Letras em Português, Inglês, Espanhol, trechos em outros idiomas e instrumentais. 74Hz é isso... vontade, experimentação, energia e mente pensante em música., afinal "Tudo se transforma em música um dia...".

Hi,

I’m an independent musician from Poland, working within the realm of ambient and its many, often unconventional subgenres. Part of my work is deeply immersed in Norse mythology — the raw, symbolic world of gods, warriors, rituals, and the inevitable Ragnarök. I don’t simply retell myths; I interpret them through sound, trying to capture their weight, mystery, and timeless power. My compositions transport listeners to spaces where time flows differently, and every whisper and echo carries the resonance of ancient tales.

But that’s only one layer of my artistry. Another is a dirty, naturalistic soundscape — direct, raw, and often uncomfortable. I address themes many prefer to avoid, painting pictures people usually look away from, yet secretly can’t stop glancing at.

I step into the shoes of broken, lost characters, teetering on the edge of morality and their own conscience. Sometimes — like Raskolnikov — I carry the thought of crossing a boundary, of destruction that can be both a cry of despair and a search for meaning in a chaotic world. This tension and inner conflict permeate my music, giving it intensity.

You can hear the echo of Dostoevsky in my work — not as a literary quotation, but as a state of mind: grappling with meaninglessness, the tension between the desire to understand and a sense of alienation. This is not music meant to soothe, but to confront what we often don’t say aloud.

Two worlds intersect here: the mythical and timeless, and the corporeal, fractured, and contemporary. Their tension gives my work meaning and depth.

If you find something in these sounds that resonates with you, maybe it’s a sign you hear more than you’re willing to admit.

My worldview has been shaped by works and creators who explore the darkest corners of the human soul. Fyodor Dostoevsky, with Crime and Punishment and Memoirs from the House of the Dead — stories of guilt, conscience, and alienation. Roland Topor, whose The Tenant, Portrait of Suzanne, and Black Cows balance between absurdity and darkness, testing the limits of perception and reality. Albert Camus, with his existential explorations in The Plague and The Stranger — tales of rebellion against absurdity and loneliness. The music of Burzum, whose rawness and primal energy remain a constant source of inspiration. Equally important is the influence of The Cure — their sound and lyrics, often balancing between melancholy and despair, have strongly shaped my perception of music and the world.

I close with a quote that has become my mantra: “It doesn't matter if we all die.” It’s a reminder of life’s transience, the absurdity of existence, and that true value lies in what we create here and now, regardless of how brief this moment may be.

Soy de Valencia, España, y mi gran pasión desde la infancia ha sido la música. Aunque no tengo formación académica en teoría musical, desde 2021 decidí dar el salto y comenzar a componer de forma autodidacta. 
Mi música está influenciada por referentes como Vangelis o Jean-Michel Jarre, y se caracteriza por un fuerte componente retro de los años 80 y 90, fusionado con sonidos modernos. Me gusta explorar y mezclar estilos como la música clásica, electrónica, techno, ambient, synthwave, retrowave e incluso bandas sonoras inspiradas en la ciencia ficción.

Cada tema busca transmitir sensaciones únicas y ofrecer algo diferente a lo habitual. Estoy en un proceso continuo de aprendizaje y experimentación, creando lo que llamo "rarezas sonoras", piezas que abren nuevos caminos en la mente de quien las escucha.
