When the beat fades into infinity, only the soul keeps dancing — that’s transcendence.

Transcendence

Shine Trails

"Mrak" is my contribution to the "Glitch With Friends: Compilation Vol. 1", being inspired by the "Glitch With Friends: Samples Vol. 1’" sample pack, which was released back in April, 2019.

This is an 8-track compilation produced entirely using samples from the mentioned sample pack.

The compilation features many familiar faces from 'Samples Vol. 1' as well as some newcomers, like myself. There were no instructions given for this project other than - "use only samples we created", and as a result there is a wide variety of musical styles and sensibilities on display here, illustrating the sonic range of the samples and the producers themselves.

Please like and share if you enjoy, and make sure to check out the whole compilation! Thank you! <3

Grief Has Its Own Timeframe

When I Think

This EP was entirely written and recorded in the cable kingdom of bleeps and bloops in the city of Sofia, Bulgaria during their tradition of Martenitsa. While Ivan Shopov was working on his project Kanatitsa with Avigeya, Valance Drakes was into a rookie year for Amek, working on the collab LP with Ivan and working on his debut album for the label (An Angel In Alliance With Falsehood).

“Much love goes out to my brother Ivan Shopov for the art piece, mastering and doing a remix for the project” – Valance Drakes

Valance Drakes - Instinct Will Never Betray You

Geometric Experiment

Hyperglitch is an emerging genre that is informed by glitch, idm and experimental music that came before it, but is distinct from them. It uses new techniques, explores new concepts, and has a new aesthetic. “Hyper” in this sense doesn’t mean more, or faster, or louder, it’s meant in the “hypertext” way; as in: deeper and more interconnected. Hyperglitch is the evolution of glitch. It’s what happens when a generation of artists grow up surrounded by glitch, entrenched in the digital world. Their fluency and usage/exploitation of glitch has deeper roots and is more natural and nuanced than someone born outside of this environment. 

My hope is that by helping to define the genre through this series, it will help other artists within the subgenre to find each other, and help us all develop our work and leave the past behind (or at least the parts that are holding us back). I also hope that by casting a wide net it will dissuade others from creating a formula for the genre and freezing it in time (although I’m sure some of that is inevitable). I also want to stress that Hyperglitch is new. Some of the ideas have been circulating for years, some even as far back as the early 2000’s, but their current formulation and the combinations employed by these artists are something I have never heard before (even though I have been imagining the emergence of something similar for a long time). I hope this series will illuminate the thread that I think connects these artists, and will hopefully inspire other artists to join in and create their own Hyperglitch music. 

The first album in the series is Reason by Seskamol. It is an incredibly cinematic album that intercuts dissociative ambiences with harsh, fast and hyper-detailed percussive sections. Seskamol’s understanding of rhythm and percussion seems to have moved past the need for any groove or pulse, but instead of using the pallets of electro-acoustic music, or breakcore, he mangles the two with new and more refined techniques. Similar to the raw expressions of noise music or blast beats, but reinventing them through the drum programming of breakcore with modern sound design. The result is what I imagine it would be like to wake up in a post apocalyptic wasteland, an eerie calm and then the blasts of music from an aggressive and violent time before the collapse bombarding you from a radio passing through stations, or the blasting stereo system of a renegade gang vehicle passing you. The album oscillates through feelings of desperate anger and the disabling apathy of a particularly strong depression. By passing through it with Seskamol, we know we aren’t alone.

Summit

"Larger than the will of any individual, the totality of modern human society is simultaneously one constituted by our actions yet also a gestalt entity obeying an emergent logic of its own. Constellations of processes and events act in discordant symphony largely blind to each other, while together they constitute a distributed machine serving solely itself at the price of human abjection. Conceivable solely as an abstraction, but concrete to the very core of human objectivity, this totality is profoundly human in origin but absolutely alien to our needs. Its very shape is contingent upon the trajectory of history from which it emerged, a trajectory which is now dislodged and savagely dragged along as the totality cycles itself blindly forward in time, obeying nothing other than the immanent logic of capital. Ignorance of totality matters not to it, as those who possess knowledge of its contours are no less objects to its continual unfolding. 

The horizon of its trajectory offers a fractal vision of futures such as ecological collapse, mass refugee crises, escalating pandemics, genocide, and more. Like the shards of a kaleidoscope, these morph in and out of each other, their causes and consequences all intertwined with the horrors of this perpetual unfolding of global capitalism. To grasp this all as a human is to accept it, for there is little else one can do." (Man From Sol)

Contingent Abjection Process

SERA005: Satellite Era presents "Distant Arrays Volume 01" - the first edition of our new various artist series that aims to diversify our collection of experimental IDM and club music.

Continuous mix w/ visuals: https://youtu.be/7bVDi_hcP8c

Halfway around the world in Istanbul, Turkish producer @fosilbass has been making an international name for himself in the underground bass music community. He delivers a powerful introduction to the compilation with "Retiform," a clear nod to the aggressive breakbeat formula that has raided clubs and radio stations over the last few years.

Distant Arrays is an immersive showcase of our audio/visual capabilities as a collective. We are honored to introduce you to our inclusive team, continuously expanding all over the planet.

"Stationed beyond the horizon lies a cluster of autonomous satellite arrays - each serving as capsules of detained time, points of transit between diverse concepts, and the sensorial relation between tangible audio and visual worlds. They fill the thin air with varied frequencies and beam optic elements into the minds of drawn newcomers and devoted adherents alike. Though each array hosts different creators from every remote edge of this decaying planet, they communicate with us through the vigorous potential of art. They link together to create a limitless field without borders – only human connection. These are the Distant Arrays..."
