The 27th release of katharsis is the album “Alien Implants” by the Siberian artist and composer Dmitri Mazurov. Throughout the 9 tracks and 77 minutes of the album, the listener is submerged into a haunting maze of mystifying experimental electro-acoustic sound portraying distant conspiracies of another time and place. This almost paradoxical juxtaposition of classical instruments with elements from contemporary electronic music is quite novel to katharsis, but fits perfectly with our vision of showcasing the multifaceted emotional and expressive properties of music.

The album starts harshly off with a flow of rocks, stones and underwater gurgling on the intro track “Burevo”, before a flooding of more delicate but yet restless sounds on “Mimicry” performed by Kymatic Ensemble, who are also featured on the evocative title track “Alien Implants”. This expressive focus is vivid throughout the whole album, but especially on tracks like “Hauntology” performed with novel techniques on the accordion played by Roman Malyaykin, or on the archetypical crying of a guitar played with a comb on the track “Weeping”. The whole thing is concluded by an alienesque communication on the track “Morphing”, which is premiered with the announcement of the pre-order.

XHL UNIT - 'Amxe Shy'

“Xestia 夜莺” is a faulty yet raw blend of monk chants, Ylateau's reciting vocals, insects, humans, and unseen entities. 

The words of the vocal recitation are quoted from Yleateau's favorite prose by the Chinese female philosophical poet, Sha Zhi —

‘Like a weary triumph. Like a shameful survival after death. Like skillfully dangling a fishing rod. And as if it is the here and now. (像疲倦的凯旋。像羞耻的死后存活。像熟练地垂着钓竿。又仿佛就是此时此刻(地)。) ’ ；’The animal that sleeps never sees the night, never possesses the night. The one who can not live by the day, will never live by the night either. (睡眠的动物从来没有看见过黑夜，占有过黑夜。白天不能过活的人，晚上也从不过夜。)’.

A journey of subconscious evolution with mania, harsh, somnambulant, truth-guided complex emotions.


Ylateau (Yuän)  is the founder and co-curator of ÖÖÖ. She was born in Yunnan, lived in Shanghai, now based in Berlin. Ylateau’s music is an instinctive approach for her to experiment with soundscapes, composing zoomorphic scenarios for inner affections reflecting interactively with a grander background of species’ destiny, and initial setting of life.

Exhalation is the debut compilation of ÖÖÖ, which embodies the label's main theme of "Primitive Future". The concept captures the essence of a universal cycle that encompasses physical and spiritual elements for generating life, intelligence, and emotion. It speaks to the movement of life forms in all their subtlety or grandeur, from humans, creatures to planets, from unknown beings to unpredictable happenings. Exhalation is rooted in the origin of natural orders and chaos since time immemorial.

Participated artists are crossing different continents of the earth - SÁCCEA (@sacce4), Aestum (@aestum), e6c41 (@e6c41), Iva Peralta (@ivaperalta) Ylateau (@ylateau), Anh Phi (@anh_phi), Locre (@locr3), Ice_Eyes (@ice_eyes), Azelsgöattii (@goattii), Toby Davis (@toby_davis), Klusā Daba (@klusa_daba).

The artists developed their envision of the theme through different sonic landscapes - from futural energy paradise, turbulent apocalypse earth cracks, cult incantation from posthuman tribes, the nirvana of subconscious struggles, to oracle lights and dreamlike chants that heal wounds... Any possibilities are expected as artists will tell a consistent story of Exhalation together with their unique perspectives.
