The 34th release of katharsis is the album “A Shifting Presence” by Belgian artist Lilac Pavilion. The album subtly explores a theme of seeing the beauty in the mundane resulting in unassuming gratitude for life's curious ways of dissolving our fixations and transforming the meanings of things. The existential curiosity of the artist is vivid in his fragmented, noisy and yet very clean sonic palette, but also reflected in the emotionally charged titles of the tracks of the album.

“A Shifting Presence” is Lilac Pavilion's most elaborate album to date, following his previous albums 'Concealing A Trace Of Exile' (2019) on the Australian label Vienna Press and 'Lure' (2018) on the Antwerp-based label Audio. Visuals. Atmosphere. On this novel album, Lilac Pavilion delves into a pristine and digital expression, moving a tad away from his earlier more rough and tape-influenced soundscapes, though still containing a special kind of aural rawness.

Simon McCorry is a composer based in Gloucestershire creating music and sound design mainly for theatre and contemporary dance, working with companies such as Old Vic Productions, Tiata Fahodzi, House of Absolute, Javaad Alipoor Company & Fabula Collective. Simon is a cellist, often using the instrument in his work processed and combined with electronics, field recordings, and other instruments. His work has been described as “electro-orchestral drone-scapes of, by turns, gauzy intimacy and soaring grandeur” MOJO. He has recently collaborated with artists including Andrew Heath, anthéne, Requiem and, on this record, Wodwo.Wodwo is the alias of Derbyshire-based musician Ray Robinson.

An award-winning novelist and coveted screenwriter, Robinson's foray into the music world began in 2018, and his gentle ambient guitar and lush neo-classical compositions have quickly attracted a blossoming legion of fans. Ray also records as one half of JARR, alongside fellow Brit, Jon Attwood (Yellow6). Their albums have been released by Hush Hush Records and on the Sound in Silence imprint. Ray's solo output has appeared on NCTMMRN, Soundtracking The Void, Submarine Broadcasting Company and Fallow.

Every Creeping Thing is a celebration of mud and moss and slugs and bugs and roots and damp – songs of the forgotten, the small, the overlooked. A musical approach of letting things unfold and follow their path, passing material back and forth, leaving space and following a philosophy of less is more. A journey that evolved through coincidences, and shared interests in literature and the natural world – the music took its course, taking on its own life. 
 
Guitar, cello, and modular synth are played, processed, and recorded live. Nothing is sequenced or quantised, maintaining an organic breath-like quality flowing throughout the tracks. Through the music’s echoes, whisperings, creeks, calls, fluttering and murmurings – sometimes as walls of sound, often as spiderweb-fine textures – Every Creeping Thing invites the listener to immerse themselves in the intricate net of the beauty of the more-than-human world.

The cover art illustrates John Masefield's lines from The Everlasting Mercy: ‘A rushing comet, crackling, numbing the folk with fear of judgement coming.’ Taken from their collection, The Book of Comets, the artists Christopher Crouch and Cherish Marrington worked together to create something that would be a synthesis of their practices, but which would also propel them into new ways of thinking about representing their ideas. However, these illustrations are less about comets and more about the artists’ retreat into the imaginary.

The track titles for Every Creeping Thing are from Jacob Polley’s wonderful poetry collection, Jackself, which Ray happened to be reading at the time of this collaboration. As the album was coming together, he felt a real connection between the sometimes off-kilter, ‘organic’ music he and Simon were creating and Jacob’s collection. It felt as if they were inhabiting similar worlds: a world of frosty mornings, kidney-coloured pools, rosehips, and buzzards’ wings.

Following the events of "Annihilation", xato presents the second part of his personal odyssey, "Irrational Fear".

"Irrational Fear" explores the dark self with intense drone recordings being the main sound focus of the project, surrounded by field-recording manipulations and deeply evolving textures.

As the project's tracks aged between 2020 and 2022, it never felt like the right time to release the project. However things changed when the reasons behind the tracks were revamped in the more recent years.

Music for image, created for a deep ocean ambiance. It can be used to illustrate a doc about sahrks, dolphins... or a travel video about sea, ocean. Smooth, calm, beautiful.

Delayed Expressions (Nachtamt Hyperbolic Ambience Remix)
Nachtamt’s “Hyperbolic Ambience remix” of Delayed Expressions is both tranquil and melancholic like a heartbreak or regret, sedated only by the momentary beauty of a setting sun at the end of the last perfect day. Soft, emotion suffused pads and atmospherics play throughout the track while gently hypnotic arpeggios shimmer and quiver until the moment fades forever.
