"Imagine Mark Fell crossed with "Avril 14th" and you're not far off. But in spite of the generative feel of the composition, it never feels academic or stuffy, instead lilting, inviting and a bit mischievous." (@resident-advisor)

"My Cruelty’s music is the expression of an incredible array of influences coming not only from the musical world going from Jean Cocteau to Björk and is able to build up a uniquely hypnotic sound made of emotions and feelings." (@soul_feeder)

"The Secret Weapon revolves around an icy, minimalistic echo of the piano. A unique and explorative sound that fuses experimental and dance music." (@avyss)

The Secret Weapon (GEN040) by @mycruelty is a tapestry of ambiguous harmony, rolling synth stabs and sparse, syncopated drum patterns. With endless and never tiring reinforcement, slow - or phantom? - template shifts undergo sudden phase transitions: icy house piano phrases undergo a process of mini counterpoint, later on even complemented by acidic permutations. As the boundaries between tracks dissolve, a dance floor ready scintillating grid illusion unveils itself.

@mycruelty about the album:
"My purpose - to create a hypnotic sound, music full of feelings, that gives you a sense. I create my own mythology. You come inside and feel the silence, endure the pain. But it’s not depressive or sad, this pain opens a new door in life, this pain clears and changes, makes stronger. My album is an ode to the love of music, life. Never stop to live. Music is life, this is movement, this is energy, this is dance.
I am a pure stream, I am an open infinity. I see dreams and go to meet them. I see my reflection, the phantom / ephemeral nature of my soul. I transform so quickly that I do not have time to capture my image. I see myself and at that moment disappear, become something else and look at myself again to see who I am.”

BESSA illustration about the cover design
"I am playing with shapes and fragments in different layers floating around the basis - smiley face. These forms exist together and separately at the same time. They are continuously moving and creating certain tension which gives you ephemeral feeling. Because movement is the basis of our life, nature and universe itself.”

Daisy Darkpark (Threads*Reverie) - 31-Jul-20

Can you feel claustrophobic in a huge desolate space? 
Does our mind represent a safe place for the permanence of our most intimate fears? 
Manipulate, abstain, shout: the cyber-grime sound of XI-N is pure repetition and reduction. 'Lymph' is an immune response to perennial digital surveillance. 
Five tracks that represent different points of view of a conscious misinterpretation of digital information.

01. XI-N - 0090q
02. XI-N - Jiang Install
03. XI-N - No Shadows
04. XI-N - Syndicate
05. XI-N - Skintight

Lymph

XI-N - Lymph [AFN004]

Food, sex, glory to God; in which order? Do you first eat, and then pray to thank Them? Or perhaps coupling takes the top spot for you.

Each of these three fundamentals is about service. What is your way of serving others while you’re in this world? And will we keep doing it ever after? In heaven—if we’ll make it there—will W serve us their mass of resonating frequencies and clipping digital ornaments?

A new release by W is here to go alongside our feasts, orgies, and other acts of devotion. Yes, it’s suited for all kinds of services. You must try it on fried fish, living bodies, or celestial ones.

From right to left and back again from left to right; W spins the middle frequencies into a ritual that helps us to forget ourselves. For a while, heaven and earth exist on the horizon, instead of the vertical.

The sonic horizon reminds us of the beauty of the plain from which nothing arises to compete with God. What's more, the panning offers an exercise in humility: everything is around you, but you’re not the center.

The distorting of those sweet basslines tells you that what you’re hearing is growth and rot, crop and compost, both at the same instance. The distortion invites you to go medieval—think Ars moriendi, the art of dying. Learn from these sounds by reflecting on how they’re ready—but not willing—to leave this plane at any moment.

The sounds that make up Maanpinna follow neither a linear understanding of time, nor a hierarchical understanding of bodies, but an instantaneous one of both. You could call it quantum music, but then why would you do so when you can call it a service?

Of the three acts of services mentioned, sex and God demand the most trust. Can you trust these sounds? You could learn to do so by listening to them on repeat. No: forget the idea of being able to know music, forget beginnings and ends; try living with these sounds forever, always unearthing new aspects.

Commit to the sounds, because why else would they trust you? Touch the wobbly melodies and feel them touching you like nothing has ever done before.

Apart from the sea of sine waves, Maanpinna sometimes gives you bursts, pops, and washes of filtered white noise. They are gestures of good faith made by the music itself towards you. If you didn't trust the sounds before, perhaps now you will.

Those bursts are not pure noise, but cut down to a serving size by W. The modified noise tells you what the dead always tell the living: ‘What I am, you will become.’ The art, in life and audio, is in learning to lose. It’s a lesson that reverberates deep in the bare soundscape of Maanpinna.

It is music made from very few elements. And while reduction has always formed the basis for aural worship, on the hands of W, sounds are never reduced to the level of blasphemy: there's always the noise and the distortion.
