The album "Feldspar Valley" was born from the harshness of a hostile and meaningless Universe, but also from an absurd will to continue living. It includes 9 tracks plus a bonus track titled "Dream Weaver". The album embraces avant-garde soundscapes but also common blocks of sounds. Sometimes it smells like a dark forest in the middle of the night and other times like a joyful sunny day where anomalies and good monsters are possible. It's full of contrasts and experimentation echoing both earthbound rawness and the surreal spirals of dreams while holding in its hands new potentiating packs of sensations alienated from a human world sunk in hyper-commercialism, uncritical ideologies, fear and complacency towards the violent and hypocritical fabric of the so-called "normal state of things". Ambient music, chiptune, retrowave, synth pop, darkwave, electro and other genres and styles interweave and contaminate each other in one restless and mutant place. The whole album is a strange liminal space leading to other uncertain and unknown places yet to be discovered, an “in-between” and playful world of its own produced by diy/lofi aesthetic machinery.

"Sleight," a 10-minute contemporary classical and orchestral journey from composer Jeremias Langsämmer, serves as a poignant centerpiece in his upcoming album of the same name.. With its delicate blend of an ostinato piano motif and the evocative tones of the French horn, this composition weaves a tapestry of melancholy and hope. The track’s cinematic strings, lush and immersive, create a soundscape that resonates with emotional depth, inviting the listener into a world where sorrow meets solace. Echoing the atmospheric and introspective style of Ólafur Arnalds, "Sleight" is a contemplative exploration of transient moments, where each note lingers like a memory—ephemeral yet deeply felt. Perfect for moments of quiet reflection, this piece captures the essence of longing and renewal, making it a standout in Langsämmer's evocative repertoire.

Sleight by Jeremias Langsämmer

A dreamy, floating track about facing death in the family

THE LOVE SUPREME

Staring corpselike at the ceiling,
See his harsh, unrazored features,
Ghastly brown against the pillow,
And his throat—so strangely bandaged!

Lack of work and lack of victuals,
A debauch of smuggled whisky,
And his children in the workhouse
Made the world so black a riddle

That he plunged for a solution;
And, although his knife was edgeless,
He was sinking fast towards one,
When they came, and found, and saved him.

Stupid now with shame and sorrow,
In the night I hear him sobbing.
But sometimes he talks a little.
He has told me all his troubles.

In his broad face, tanned and bloodless,
White and wild his eyeballs glisten;
And his smile, occult and tragic,
Yet so slavish, makes you shudder!

Henley, W. E. "In Hospital."

Ofb1t is an electronic music composer, singer, producer, digital artist and performance artist, assembling multiple rogue potentiating machines.

His work embodies a dark, cathartic and fragmented world — one of rupture, reinvention and strangeness. Born of chaos, guts and excess, it’s driven by impersonal forces of life, intensity and chance. Here, metanarratives like Truth, Reason, Reality, Being, Meaning, Identity and Human reveal their inherent futility.

Where language crumbles within the raw force of viscerality and the ineffable, Ofb1t explores themes such as the absurdity and mystery of existence, angst, the non-human within, desire, immanence, multiplicity, madness, transformation, alienation, mortality, technology and interconnectivity.

Free from fixed genres and styles, Ofb1t continues to expand his multifaceted body of work, challenging the commercial and homogenizing standards of mainstream art and entertainment. His creations often reflect a deep, critical engagement with social, psychological and philosophical issues.

Rooted in a lo-fi/DIY ethos, he draws from the Avant-Gardes (Dada, Surrealism, etc.), conceptual art, glitch and goth art, dark fantasy, anime noir, mixed media, AI hallucinations, posthumanism, and poststructuralism. His sound mutates through darkwave, gothic rock, post-punk, noise, cinematic dark ambient, techno-electro, industrial, dark indie-pop, glitch, hardcore, and beyond.
