traverse is proud to announce the release of its first record - a compilation of six tracks from various artists, inspired by Pembroke King’s poem moving silhouettes, written for this occasion.

As the fourth volume of the compilation series “traversée”, moving silhouettes encourages artists to explore all corners of listening music and creative avenues that aren’t tied to any one convention. 

Pembroke King’s poem sheds light on the mood of the compilation, and even though each artist brings its own interpretation of it, there is a beautiful harmony of it all - from Kate Miller’s atmospheric sounds to Teqmun’s drums-made-of-rain-drop-recordings or Ghjuliú’s nostalgic melodies, the listener travels around Pembroke’s words with each track. 

As our first physical release, we feel honoured to collaborate with artists who have been involved in a way or another on traverse before such as Officium, Mika Oki and Alohn, but Kate Miller, Teqmun, and Ghjuliú, that we’ve been keeping close to our heart for a long time already.

// MAGDALENA MAY is inspired by the raw spirit of early 2000s techno - but her sets go beyond nostalgia. Guided by instinct and a deep connection to rhythm, she crafts journeys that are both physical and emotional: hypnotic, grounded, and unrelenting.

With hands on wax and a feel for tension and release, she creates sonic landscapes that feel personal and alive. Each record carries intention; every transition follows feeling, not structure.

She opens a space where sound becomes emotion - and everything else fades away.
