Damn Becoming Species nice Track! Google 'bulletrank', they are giving out free plays all month.

yibai (Dávid Gerlei) returns to EXILES with ‘Hatch + Foster’, a 20 minute EP exploring the fields of bass-heavy, dynamic ambient with an industrial touch. Following ‘Rianás’ and ‘Force Quit’ (the latter released on Temporary Nites), this latest EP of his follows yibai’s journey into gritty, uncanny worlds where stuttering and rumbling effects, along with defined, leading melodies dominate these six tracks.

Looping swirls of sound introduce us to ‘Hatch’ – the rapid pulses implicate the birth of an organism, an entity that is yet to see the light of day. ‘Breadth’ follows with airy and misty horns and hard-hitting beats, accompanying a slow and graceful melody under several layers of swampy synths. Passing the torch on to ‘Mass’, the first moments indeed resemble the intensity of the previous track, but the cadencing flow quickly turns into a long, droney, dense material of steaming blackness.

The dramatic arc breaks in the middle with ‘Balm’. A distorted noise introduces the track, which then turns into menacing drones of sustained buzzes and retriggered gestures, building up slowly into a polyphonic chorus of wounded voices. It falls apart constantly, then tries again, and with the support of fragile, voice-like echoes it reaches a bridge to the final section of the EP.

Sudden bursts and carefully placed units of silence dominate the last two tracks of ‘Hatch + Foster’. The penultimate track, ‘Foster’ creates a harsh mixture of spry harps and the sound of a desperate scream. Piece by piece, it adds more and more unsettling elements with a defined pulse, turning the composition into a focused exercise of inhale and exhale. The EP arrives at the vibrant, glossy yet bitter leading melody of ‘Infra’, where the wandering main theme with a hectic sense of direction ends abruptly, leaving behind nothing but a stark and somber impression of yibai’s current ars poetica.

[Swine Premiere] yibai – Breadth (EXILES)

The purpose of this meditation is to dissolve our‘selves’ and prepare for being possessed by another species or spirit. We let the mycelium, the fungal network do the work of decomposing our human bodies and egos, and in this blank space, we ask ourselves questions to let another species or being emerge. 
We use this meditation often in our practice as a group. Sometimes we return to the same species many times, and practice being e.g. a bird in the space of the mindbody. Other times a new species can come to us in the meditation. Sometimes we are just laying down for the whole time, perhaps moving a little, others we will come to move at the end of the meditation. The meditation is often guided by our fungal members, but anyone can take it and change it, and guide others in it. Kindly refer to Becoming Species when using it. The meditation is inspired by Sisters Hope Poetic Self Exercise, Feral Practice’s Mycorrhizal Meditation, and by the ways of the Fungi.

Most of this particular recording was improvised on a visit to wild nature area Amager Fælled in Copenhagen. We produced the recording for the occasion of having a live event at Sjón Film Festival, a short film on Becoming Species being screened before.
