"chiasme releases on Promesses her debut EP: 'apex', a hybrid gem composed of 5 atmospheric songs between ethereal pop, noisy ambient and aerial rap. Her deep voice and poetry blend with Steven Correia, Jorrdan, Basile3, TTristana and Nelson Beer productions. By exploring inner sounds, even those of our own thoughts, chiasme attempts to link the imperceptible with artificial supports, matter and technology: embracing transformation and maximizing the potential of their symbiosis. Cold, sensitive sounds highlight our paradoxes, our complexity and the mystery of our origins. Words that generate images, images that serve thought."

Miaw, the emerging cross-pop duo, is set to release their third single, "Petswan," on the 17th October via katharsis. Known for indulging fast sampled drums, chopped vocals and dreamy synthesizers, miaw’s progressive production flirts with the intersection between a remix and a pop song. elements of both remixes and traditional pop.

Following airplay on prominent stations like BBC6 and 1Live, and earning praise from international publications such as Undertoner, Bands of Tomorrow, and BPM, who described them as “frankly mind-blowing,” miaw is now poised to drop their most dynamic and club-ready track to date with "Petswan."

The song’s narrative centers on the classic themes of love and heartache, while being wrapped in an experimental and high-energy soundscape. Driven by bright, plucky synths, frenetic breaks, and miaw’s signature pitched-up vocals, the track explores the emotional turbulence of unreciprocated love

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.

Fountain of Meaning is a new sonic fiction from sound artist J.G. Biberkopf following last year’s Ecologies II: Ecosystems of Excess released on Knives. Emerging out of a situation of overflow, the record burrows deeper into his practice of palpable audio theater with a study of object and relations across space-time specific sounds. 

The Fountain as a theme reflects a spouting and spilling of information, an erotic gushing of imagined aural history. “The Fountain was the source of water in the public space in cities,” J.G. Biberkopf explains. “Now it’s pretty much a sexualised architectural gesture of both beautification and the spectacle of dominant ideologies.” 

The western classical musical canon, much like the perpetual coming of the fountain, flush the headphone space with stimuli. Reflex and memory guides the listener through a semiotic architecture of processed recordings of masses in Catholic churches and contemporary performances of pre-medieval music. A liquidity of structure has an anxious influence and is a closed system approach to form and imagination. When water flows, it fills every space, then spills over to claim more. History is equally abundant and alive. We have never had as much history as we have now. We have never been able to see ourselves as we can now. 

A knowledge of a grander architecture of knowing and recalling oppress the ecologies of human decision-making.The nature of the archive has  transformed into a total and panoptic intelligence. A life is a gamble as the inventory of the world overflows into the production of a spectral third, an other, a confrontation. Fountain of Meaning offers a dynamic tension and release. A molecular tragedy, our abject recovery into a collaborative reimagining of a trauma long forgotten. 

What can be gleaned from this overflow?
