Liminal in time and space,
In between a social place –
This is where the eve of Eves occurs.
Civilly inept? Not quite –
But inclined to times of night
When all is quiet save that which reverbs.
Yet when it has a gentle frame,
When those involved can feel the same,
Convivial events can be enjoyed.
Consider those who feel as one,
Separate for many suns –
Reuniting fills a certain void.
Featuring improvised clarinet.
cut me some slack, it’s just a dayjob
we’re alone in here, the spiders already left

Right from the opening bars of the album, prominent, deep, and well-defined bass lines emerge, hinting at the sonic textures to be discovered throughout this journey, accompanied by syncopated pulses flirting with hip hop, IDM, and, why not, nods to urban rhythms.
As the minutes pass, playful elements come to the fore. Samples sourced from various places, such as movies or cartoons, bring a smile to the listener’s face upon recognition, revealing a different musical approach from this artist compared to his previous works. We can also recognize small synths (almost toy-like) that complement the sonic spectrum with subtle textures and melodies, along with other analog elements like guitars that occasionally appear within the soundscape, transporting us to different terrains within the same track.
As we approach the middle section of this work, the path becomes more intricate. The landscapes take on a grayer hue, and the textures surrounding us transform into denser layers, making us pay more attention to the details and pause to contemplate with greater precision what Gómez Bate is proposing.
Finally, we arrive at a more tranquil harbor, with the sensation of having completed a diverse sonic journey, filled with curves and nooks that leave us in a pleasant state of enjoyment, having listened to a well-told story with corners to explore the next time we embark on this voyage.

This is an album inspired by the “Sator square” (also known as “magic square”), a paleochristian inscription found in several places around Italy (the most famous is in Pompei), whose meaning is mysterious even today.
Five tracks; each one of those is a word of the square, and each one consists of five sonic ambients, which are the letters that make up the word itself. Each letter has its own melodic and harmonic content. In order to respect the palindrome pattern of the square, negative harmony was applied.
An instrumental concept album.

What is the nature of uncertainty? Is it a true thing that is unknown, or an unknowable thing that is true? How can we search for things when we don’t know their shape? And what is an answer if it is simply more questions in disguise?

« Train to Nowhere » est une partie de la soundtrack de mon émission « OddTheater », que j’essaie sans succès de continuer et d’entretenir depuis presque deux ans maintenant. Ainsi, dans le cas où je décide d’abandonner la réalisation de vidéos sur internet, j’ai pris l’initiative de tout de même partager les musiques d’ambiante que j’ai composées et produites pour ladite émission, afin qu’elles ne pourissent pas dans mes dossiers, restant complètement inutiles.
Il n’y a pas de réel lien entre les différents morceaux. Ils peuvent être écoutés dans l’ordre de l’album, tout comme séparément.
Certains morceaux comme Detectives (2), Lost Files (6) ou The Lair (7) sont faits pour pouvoir être joués en boucle.
Par ailleurs, The Woods (4), Silent passenger (5), Lost Files (6), ou Red Hand (9) peuvent être séparés en deux parties chacun. Vous retrouverez en morceau bonus (en téléchargeant l’album), les morceaux 4, 6 et 9 séparés en deux parties. Le 2nd morceau étant divisé en cinq parties, ce serait franchement un peu chiant de toutes les séparer, donc flemme pour celui-là. (vous les séparerez vous-mêmes si vous êtes motivés, les distinctions entre parties ne sont pas si floues)
Enfin, une version acoustique d’Alleviated est disponible en morceau bonus avec le téléchargement de l’album. Celui-ci est entièrement gratuit mais si vous estimez que mon travail le mérite, un achat à prix libre est bien évidemment le bienvenu.

Twelve years later Gabriel Mendes (a.k.a. Augen) is back. Over this time he hasn’t stopped releaseing and his music is becoming more interesting each time.
Driftia Diaries is a journey into abstract electronics and the result is a complex and even paradoxical musical balance, disconnected and interconnected, fresh and warm, lyrical and strange, all at the same time.
So if you’re in the IDM scene you will find here a remarkable recommendation for a stimulating and captivating musical immersion on headphones.
Bon voyage!!!
At the beginning of the year, Sascha Müller (Psychocandies) asked me if I wanted to do my part for Netlabel Day and contribute a track. Full of enthusiasm, I immediately agreed, only to later realize that time was running out. Too much on my mind, too many projects at once – my problem again. At the last minute, I found a track that had been hidden in my infamous drawer since 2021. Since I recognized potential, I got to work on it, as always at the last minute, changing a few nuances here and there and giving my Waldorf Pulse a voice again.
The theme of the track is “Stupid Love” – a reflection on how crazy love can sometimes be. Whether it’s the passion for music, the relationship with your better half or the incessant urge for toxic bonds and intense, physical music – love has many facets.
As always, you can download the track for free from my Bandcamp profile and from today you can also hear it somewhere in the vastness of this stream during the online stream for Netlabel Day.
Support is welcome, downloads are welcome, sharing is welcome.
Album art is provided by the fantastic Nineki, who can be found on various platforms, including twitter and instagram. Please consider showing them support, they’ve been fantastic to work with!
This project is dedicated to George, Joan, Faith, and my Professors, all of whom made my experience in a new country absolutely wonderful.
I hope you enjoy!
In a world where everything inexorably descends, futility pervades. Despite going down, detritus piles up, leaving two possible outcomes – it messily agglomerates beyond the point of practicality and causes the end, or it fits together just so. But instead of forming a precise and solid structure, at the moment where it is needed most, it simply disappears.
Featuring electric keys, ethnic percussion, synthesizers, strings, balalaika, and effects.
Wusa, formerly known as Band Zoo, has officially adopted its new name – a moniker inspired by the rich history and philosophical teachings of the Khawagaka tradition. Khawagaka itself is a doctrine inscribed on ancient manuscript leaves from the Samasthamarta civilization. The discovery of these Khawagaka manuscripts has unlocked a gateway to delve deeper into the history and traditions that gave rise to this profound teaching.
The Khawagaka doctrine, along with its spoken language and script, was first introduced in the band’s previous album. This latest release delves even further into the origins of Khawagaka teachings and the culture from which they emerged. It also explores the impact of knowledge industrialization and technological advancement on cultural values and traditions.
Wusa’s musical project is part of Rully Shabara’s long-term artistic endeavor centered around the Khawagaka manuscript, which encompasses language, script, belief systems, mythology, philosophy, history, and culture. This ambitious project operates under the auspices of the Khawagaka Historical and Cultural Archives Institute, an independent organization dedicated to tracking, excavating, preserving, and disseminating all findings related to Khawagaka history.
The Wusa music group functions as a division within the Rijmana Council, tasked with interpreting Khawagaka teachings and culture, and popularizing them among contemporary society through modern mediums such as music, film, and other formats. The names of the Zugrafi script and the Zufrasi spoken language were also coined by the Rijmana Council.
Obscure witch house EP from Humanfobia. Six tracks of dragged giallo-ambient, chopped up beats and possessed vocals, inspired by the Canadian slasher film Curtains (1983).

Attempting truth, one tries many things. Up, down, left, right, directions that are seemingly expansive yet form a stricture we wish to free ourselves of. What is a diagonal pitch? Can things overlap, separately? And what exists beyond the horizon of the manifest?
Featuring clarinet “sightreading” (improvisationally interpreting) the cover image, itself titled “True Glimpses 1” by Franziska Baumann (franziskabaumann.ch).
