The second full-length album from Watsona, "Fictions" is crunchy electronic music awash with earworm vocals, melodies, and beats. Lyrically cerebral and also just fun, the album’s influences include Magnetic Fields, Radiohead, Coil, Ulrich Schnauss, Depeche Mode, Wire, Mogwai and Brian Eno. All songs were written before November 2024.

An extended drift through evolving harmonic space — a slow, deliberate unfolding of tone shaped by quiet motion and layered resonance.

The track begins in soft focus, gathering density as immersive textures rise and intertwine. Mid-track, the soundfield opens fully, revealing a delicate interplay of shifting harmonics and spectral shimmer, before tapering into a spacious, reflective glow.

Every moment feels alive with subtle energy — waves of tone crest and dissolve with hypnotic regularity, while the stereo field expands and contracts like breath.

Meditative and expansive: a longform ambient trance journey sculpted from movement, memory, and luminous stillness.

Echoform+ModeM is a new creative chapter and collaboration heavily influenced by the innovation, logic, and precision of early 1990's electronic music and modern day technical mechanix inspired by artists such as Time Modem, Lassigue Bendthaus, Aes Dana, Geomatic, Clock DVA, Implant Code, Sundial Aeon, E-Mantra, Artefakto, Trilithon, The Klinik, X Marks The Pedwalk, Handful of Snowdrops, and labels Music Research GMBH, Abfahrt, Boy, Ausfahrt, and Ultimae, among others. The music is a fusion of cerebral intelligence and trance influences. This is not techno dance floor drudgery.

My ideas were never my own. I belong to the universe.
