A NEW MYCOLOGY: LETHAL ALGAE BLOOMS (PASTORAL RETURN)

Church of Arkaya...

A classic piece of mine, very relaxing, that brings peace and relaxation. All the electronic instruments are played live, without the use of third-party clips, already prepared.

SILENCE

@bungalovv
Emotional material manifests itself in many different forms. Sometimes it flows like a river, rolls like a wave or pours like rain. The fluidity of emotional experience makes sense as our bodies are mostly made up of water – life's matter and matrix, mother and medium.

It is time to let go of your fear and doubts. You must learn to embrace the darkness of your soul, for it is a light beacon of hope for humanity. Your soul wants to show itself in its truest form, strength, perseverance, courage and determination of spirit. In this lifetime your soul needs to cleanse and open its feelings for katharsis. This current physical lifetime offers you a new leaf, to be able to learn to balance obsolete, distorted behaviors.

Today, we're glad to host the 71st mix in our GUESTMIX series, presenting a slasher mixture of club and metal courtesy of whiterose. Spanning from Lyon, France, whiterose is a multidisciplinary artist who deals with violent and aggressive music integrated by edgy and sharp visual art of his own production. Among the most inspired producers in the underground scene, he brings to the altar of contemporary hybrid club the iconoclastic drive typical of Industrial music, arrayed in dark and epic atmospheres borrowed from heavy guitar-oriented genres.

The artist is author of several bulk tracks that surfaced in the last couple of years, each of them pushing forward and refining his unprecedented sound poetics that balances hardcore techno, all sorts of metal styles, and the finest sound design craftsmanship. Those are accompanied by a handful of EPs and collaborative works with many akin musicians like WULFFLUW XCIV, Tristan, and Migu, who joined forces in amazing examples of harsh, hostile, and yet participatory club-oriented electronic music.

Often providing vocals to his own tracks, whiterose crafts eerie soundscapes of an obscure virtual/industrial world where emotions flow seamlessly from the producer's heart directly to the listeners' bowel. Lyrics about self-destruction, pain, and bloodthirsty, ecstatic joy cut through the thick layer of roaring explosions, digital slashes, and distorted samples in which every whiterose's composition is embedded, as loud as it can get. Be sure to get back to this mix times and times over so you won't miss all the good that comes from a lil' picnic in the darkness of your soul. Embrace death and life eternal.

AUTONOMY (feat. tora)

Bag of Toys

Wim Dehaen - crs

"If you had to live your life over and over again for eternity, how would you live it? What does making choices mean? The contingencies of a life unravel my senses."

Throughout the course of 10 tracks of ‘Wiederkunft Eternal LP‘, the debut album by German producer thirdworldlabour, a digitally cold climate dominates throughout while a specific kind of affectivity is captured in each track. The sound design ranges from emotionally brutal (within) and uncanny (diminished spirits) to blissfully divine (a seamless float to another dome). An emphasis of using chopped vocal samples together with choir-like ambience often creates an ethereal atmosphere which subsequently is shattered by seemingly primitive and at times overtly mechanistic drum programming. Repeatedly Cryogenic synth melodies are paired with unwavering percussion that evoke connotations of fully automated, industrial production processes (many fathers/ancestral transition). Whereas in other parts, steady vocal arpeggios prevail in a textural landscape which seems to dissolve itself into non-physicality (disintegration II).
Reflected in the works title, the album draws upon the concept of the 'Eternal Return' which has its origins in non-western philosophy. The concept relates to the notion of pre-determinism and assumes that time and space are infinite progresses in which the individual is living their life over and over again in a never ending recurrent cycle.
Wiederkunft Eternal examines said concept within the expressive potential of sound and specifically tries to investigate the relationship between hope and despair as central themes in human experience.

THIRDWORLDLABOUR - A SEAMLESS FLOAT TO ANOTHER DOME

@sortlegeme
The first release of the year on katharsis is the album “wandering” by danish artist sortlegeme. As the titles of the tracks reveal, the album takes the listener through different dreamlike sceneries with a eerie sense of anxiety as the common denominator. With jjjacob on the mastering and artwork of the album, sortlegeme’s album “wandering” sends the listener on a suspenseful trip of ambivalent melancholy.

The artist, who has earlier released tapes on labels like Moral Defeat and Perfect Aesthetics with styles ranging from tribal techno to noisy ambient, takes an even more filmic approach on wandering by interpreting the ghostly atmospheres and strange feelings he experienced throughout the pandemic year.

The incorporation of rhythms from genres usually foreign to him like hip-hop and jungle suits the artist’s narrative style and brings very vivid pictures the mind of the listener - stretching from the paranoia and psychotic mood on the track “climbing” to the dramatic chase-scene of “pursuit”. His more ambient style is present in the uncanny intro and outro tracks “turn” and “return”, but also on the gloomy yet picturesque track “shrinking”, which was premiered with the pre-order of the album.
