“This, our second album, is a collection of synthesized short pieces.
Whether you deem them abstractions due to their strange harmonic contents, or figurative of strange places, is up to you. The key word here is “atmosphere”. They convey no message, they were not created with any intent.
In saying what they’re not, we’re saying they are pure imagination at play. They deal with mental images and perceptions, before language creates order – and falsehoods – out of the plasma of free association.
During their making we never discussed them, bar a few technical points ; never defined them, never worded anything. We never ever mentioned we were actually “doing” them, and really discovered them afterwards.
Of course, we will never succeed in saying nothing. We’re subjects. And the very fact we have to write something about it is the heart of the paradox. But at least we can try. We all deserve a good vacation from meaning. There are other forces at play, like sound.”
Precise and detailed calculations can be unnerving – unerringly uncanny results we know are right, yet feel are somehow off. The universe is parsimonious, and so we expect pithy causes and succinct structures. But information has layers – apparent complexity underlies organization that our intuitions may miss.
This 29/16 track features synthesizers, acoustic guitars, bass guitars, piano, and effects.

“Suicidal Music for full of Hope People”
Live improvisation recorded in July 2024 at the Cave Haven in Foucherans.
This is a kind of tribute to Frida Kahlo.

Beware If you are fragile avoid to listen this, because it’s quite heavy material. Suicide is a no return operation, think twice before to exit.
If you know what you are looking for turn off the light and listen loud.
Special thanks to the Studio112’s urban explorer for the sleeve photography.
Note that the quote on Bizarre Death Wish is not by Frida Kahlo but Rebecca Martin.
Same thing for Viva La Vida…
Dedicated to those conscious that they are human viruses and prefer persevere to survive because they know that staying in this world will change it at some point. Well, never give up. And you will see the dawn.

Following the spectral echoes of “Drifted Vol. 1” (on AFTER AFFECTS REC, France), Wahn returns, debuting on Mahorka, with “Drifted Vol. 2”, a deeper plunge into the abyss where despair looms heavier, yet faint glimmers of hope still emerge like distant stars in an endless night. The soundscape is darker, more cinematic, with grainy textures crackling like fractured memories. Lush, slow-motion atmospheres stretch into the void, embracing the listener in a weighty melancholy, where piano keys occasionally pierce the darkness like fragile rays of light, offering fleeting moments of solace.
In this second chapter, Wahn pushes deeper into the balance between hopelessness and the persistence of light. Cinematic undertones weave through the tracks, amplifying the immersive sense of narrative. The sub-bass resonates like a rumble from the earth’s core, making the body itself an instrument in this journey, grounding the ethereal melodies with a tactile, visceral presence. The ambient realms are thicker, more haunting, yet at times they break open to reveal a brief but tender embrace of warmth. Each track unfolds like a slow, mournful exhale, drawing the listener deeper into an intimate dance of sorrow and fragile hope.
Join Wahn as he continues this odyssey, where textures grow darker, the light more elusive, and the journey more introspective. Drifted Vol. 2 is a cinematic exploration into the profound depths of despair, with sub-bass vibrations and fleeting moments of light that make the experience as physical as it is emotional.

MRTN-CSTR‘s recent offering to Pueblo Nuevo, the EP titled “Radiam”, appears with music soaked in the “gamer” spirit, but not necessarily in its sonority, which is developed through other methods. By this I mean that while it alludes to the aesthetics of video games, in terms of speed and energy, at the same time it moves away from the rudimentary 8-bit sound associated with its origins.
Castro has labeled his work “Midi Art”, a production based on the use of sequencers that interact with both hardware and virtual devices, and whose characteristic is music that circulates in fast tempos, perhaps relating to the AFX world or the more digital Squarepusher, to name a couple of popular references. In this album we can hear short melodic lines that overlap and evolve carefully and, sometimes, frenetically, as in “Integraton” or in “Radiam”, the title track for this release.
These are four carefully crafted compositions, which enjoy a well crafted audio mix, with a mastering that does not sacrifice timbres in favor of volume, and an interesting point of view and musical personality, which strengthens the career of the Argentine musician, who has already traveled the label’s road with two previous releases, oscillating in different electronic styles, always with his ears set on personal experimentation.
Claudio Pérez (Usted No!)
(Santiago, Chile. September 2024)
An enumeration of steps and procedures. A notion of what ought to be done – or at least a way to do things. A form of preparation, a preparation of forms, and a gathering of prerequisites. A Plan.
Featuring synthesizers and effects.
Neck and nape, through cityscapes, the racers swiftly sped:
though racer one once held the lead, the second comes ahead.
To and fro, they strive astride, that one might claim the prize –
a Sisyphean struggle, with a cyclical surprise.
Featuring piano and two violins.

Now it’s time to relax and enjoy the ride!!!
To be a bird and not to soar, rather like a dinosaur. Essence and nature aren’t always aligned. Wondering, aspiring, perspiring – the flightless bird is grounded.
Featuring clarinet.
