Million stars... There's something going on under the surface, are we still on a quest? So many questions...

The weather destroyed the grand piano. Now it waits solemnly on the charred remains of a pile of wooden debris.

Or did we lose the meaning?

Its keys are speckled with hues of hundred stars - touched by the many moons which have traveled through us.

If every person is worth a song, does it also apply to piano VST's?

We are its strings, spirals and thoughts, shaped by the moments and paths laid before and twisting ahead. (We are star bodies)

Drawn by the unexpected, asking for questions with not one beginning.

Composed, mixed and mastered by Henia Nikkilä and Jussi Hertz

The 45th release of katharsis is the EP "Intrusion" by Italian artist Lefka, releasing in full on October 28th. Throughout the six tracks of the EP, Lefka swaddles the listener in a dense and distorted quilt of sound that feels both heavy and light at the same time. "Intrusion" is a release that aims to sonify the acceptance of intrusive thoughts through a kathartic and emotionally intense experience.

Through heavy use of granular synthesis and electric guitar recordings, the release varies from calm, introspective moments to peaks of intense sound pressure. Like through glass, the sounds refract and are broken into pieces, creating an aural effect of rebound and confused scattering, and like intrusive thoughts, the tracks have abrupt peaks that reset the silence with unsettling intensity.

Lefka is a multidisciplinary artist based in Amsterdam. As in a stream of consciousness, his own productions are characterized by an irreverent and disillusioned approach, which aim to detach from a precise genre-categorization.

Intrusion

Rain Away

Lefka - Rain Away

You can encircle cities with your hungry restless, but can you round the coast? Meeting you, Pacific, was like hearing an echo sent to self from the distant future of the past. We rode to the desert often, looking for the glimpse of pale pink, so that I would feel less gaunt, and look a little less sickly. Rock folds like paper origami, and sierras stretch up north, rushing to your currents. Plaques colored brown notify us of our location, we are entering yet another natural park. I neatly fold the weed into the grinder, rolling out a tightly packed joint. Suckling, slowly lighting it hit after hit, like a christmas light on default setting, flickering at night in your living room. These days I am busy confronting certain images, it is hard to place their origin, source or time. Some might feel like memories, but certainly of fantasies. Phantom pain - that's what I imagine haunting of the past feels like. There is a unifying quality to all of them, and I am certain if there was a form of a deep dive into the MTV aesthetic of a certain period, these magical images would only be symptoms. Signs of the cold war won, the prize is enterprise. My rhymes are cheap today, and the sun is blazing through the end of September in the valley. I miss signs of autumn, but the leaves are so saturated in the backdrop of a clear blue sky. Shadows play a pattern, and the fuzz of the heat lingers in the atmosphere. Slowly zooming out, the gaze defocuses, and the natural miracles fade into the mundane. My body collects the summer dew, sweat folds like little mountain lakes. “We should break up”,- the sentence curves and comes out in italics, as if the font had a certain tune. Soon, I will leave you in the golden warmth of California.

The 46th release of katharsis is the EP “Plumage” by french artist Bademjan, coming out in full on November 18th. "Plumage" takes the listener on an epic voyage guided by the arcane wisdom of synthetic bird-guides, mysterious creatures leading the way through haunting and sublime realms. The EP emerges as a reflection on the pursuit of elusive truths and their role in shaping identity, and unfolds like an initiatory journey, inviting the listener to explore realms of feelings unremembered and times that never were.

From the discovery of a hidden chapel where stained glass whispers vivid secrets, to eerie calls piercing the night in a moonlit forest, each of the seven tracks reveals a new chapter in this overarching tale. Throughout the journey, the mystical birds appear briefly but meaningfully, offering both an unsettling and comforting presence as they help us navigate the shifting sands of self and accept the inevitable decay of all that we hold dear.

On “Plumage”, Bademjan unfolds his full potential by materializing his sonic development with incorporation of the electric upright bass as the backbone of the record, with its sound manipulated and processed to evoke a spectrum of emotional textures, from delicate pizzicato notes to deep sub-bass roars and gritty bow strokes. This organic foundation is enriched with woodwind-esque synths, ethereal vocal harmonies and the uncanny chirps of artificial birds, creating a sonic fable that feels both eternal and ephemeral.

Bademjan has previously put out releases with labels White Garden and Olga Productions, and contributed to compilations from Club Late Music, 90000realms and evo-natura besides figurating on the katharsis compilations “Embracing Darkness, Absorbing Light” and “Infinite Summer: Fantasi”.

GRRL - Made Up

Four years on from his release on TIMEDANCE002 as L.SAE, Joseph Higgins is back on the label under his flagship moniker Metrist. 

Pollen Pt. I is the first part of a trilogy of records, showcasing Metrist's latest developments in twisted beat-science. The release combines four tracks of rudeboi electro swagger, off-kilter vocal chops and imaginative grooves. 

Since his L.SAE record in 2015 Metrist has released on Where To Now?, Neighborhood and an LP Opal Tapes, here he refines his sound palette even further, striking a unique balance between the avant-garde and dancefloor.

Following guest mixes on NTS and performances in the Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall, TT are proud to present the debut EP from London-based artist aircode, Dislocated.

Characterised by a commanding use of texture, aircode’s production punctuates the spaces it inhabits with enigmatic precision. I Know My Life searches fitfully for the obscured; pairing sweeping synth motifs with distorted speech to create a sense of quiet knowing. Placing the listener in the midst of surrounding, bass-heavy intensity, Reform freezes and warps those surroundings until breathy gasps return the focus back to the body. Club-driven experiments such as Lipsill’s unnerving echoes and the suspended scratches of When It’s Said It Is combine a commitment to meticulous sound design with a recognition of the pleasure of masterfully navigating a chaotic club space.

Imbued throughout with a tangible sense of disruption and confusion, Dislocated presents a idiosyncratic club manifesto from one of London’s most exciting emerging producers.
