Today we are pleased to present Notes From A Pandemic, a new hardcover book written by August Skipper. Known for his production work with Operant and his solo project Agency, as well as being half of record label Instruments Of Discipline, he now delivers this great work of poems, prose and digital sketches. Notes seeks to document the psychic implosion surrounding the initial period of European quarantine. Taking the form of an abstract journal, a series of short poetry and prose evoke blurred vignettes of near-future conspiracy, personal reflection and weird transcendence; the pieces acting as a corrosive agent, exposing the hidden narrative that emerges between memory, media events and direct experience in the enforced isolation of a single room. 

The book will be released as a collaborative audiobook in the following months, the first track included with purchase of the book “The Skin Of Strangers” is a collaboration with Berlin-based artist Cunce (aka Keepsakes). Printed on 48 pages of 115gsm paper, A6 format, hardcover, bound in black cloth with the title and author debossed on the cover and spine. 

Notes is a fantastic read, relatable on multiple levels and Skipper’s voice shines through the dark pandemic cloud offering thought provoking shorts to humorous thoughts and beyond. Pick up your copy now on Bandcamp.

The Skin Of Strangers - August Skipper W/ Cunce (Instruments of Discipline)

Curse of Agony, Georgian based artist, influenced with RAW / Funk / Hypnotic / Dark / Groove / Underground music, his productions and performances awakes the melancholy and primitive feelings in us. His dj sets are intimate, direct and makes you feel you are standing there about years. 

Always improvising his music with unique signature and style, he’s aiming to create a nostalgic gateway which convinces dancers to feel the harmony and taste of every sound they are listening.

Curse of Agony’s performance journey started in 2022, played in small venues for gaining more experience. In 2023, he moved to the island and he played his sets for “secretevents.sl” and “under the radar”. 
In November 2023, he played his first performance with Berlin based label “DEESTRICTED” in OST.club in Berlin

Played in:
OST Club - Berlin
Subject Club - Almaty
Industri - Colombo
