We’ve featured Hardwired before in a previous VA compilation, but thought it would be good to feature the man again in his own EP release. Liminal is a selection of works from Hardwired back catalogue.
Some retro sounds (angular), very autechre sounding work (folding rna) and even Boards inspired (2nd last dream, 3rd last dream). Mellow, chilled out, atmospheric, in time for the summer sun.
his project (Eniac), has started in 1997 as an experimentation on the use of feedbacks and tape loops. In 1999 he started publishing music with a tape (split with Cria Cuervos); then the project evolved in different directions over the years: computer music, glitch, anche elctreoacoustic. He released music for recodx label like: Acustronica, Adaadat, Almost Halloween Time, Cathedral Transmissions, Chew-Z, Creative Sources, Edison Box, Many Feet Under, Sonospace, Touchin’ Bass.
Cangiante represent a point of view on the past (20 years) and on the future (the new projects will be under the name of Fabio Battistetti and Brezza).
The tracks have been composed at Blue Angle studio, between 2018 and 2019, using recordings and loops from the personal archive, including a short excerpt from a track recorded in 1999.
The titles of the tracks are quotes and references to past influences over the course of 20 years and visions of the present:
…
a musical journey along Zenapolæ’s timeline celebrating its 20th anniversary
Nik, aka 4T Thieves, from Finland, has crafted an awesome 4-deck live remix of 23 tracks taken from Zenapolæ’s catalog, in roughly chronological order. this 40-minute continuous remix track beautifully reflects the label’s development over time, at the same time creating its own, unique atmosphere. from our electronic beginnings, through the dark ambient phase, into its present more experimental orientation.
We’re heading back to the 90s with this album by guest artist elAstrum, heavily influenced by Kraftwerk and Orbital, and chip music from 80s home computers such as the Commodore 64.
Extreme retro vibes with those addictive, glitchy melodies that those of a certain vintage can very well remember. Exciting, harsh, melodic and retro in 15 tracks.
Every single sound on my new album was made with online instruments that you play in internet browsers.
There’s a tape for 10 bucks and a download you can have for free.
The download comes with a list of links to all the websites I used to make the sounds.
The music of WHΛLT THISИEY is a solitary soundtrack to nowhere, a non-tourist map into the unknown; music and images to create new, fully immersive environments, an intriguing aural pilgrimage with no destination in time and space, nuances and labyrinths. WHΛLT THISИEY selects and mixes music for the mind and body in the same quantities that emerges from encounters between the past and the present, drawing beauty of the commonplace, wiping, polishing it, giving it life again, so to produce the same effect of the original freshness and spontaneity, a mirror that transforms it absorbs and reflects.
WHΛLT THISИEY mixes impressionist piano atmospheres, spoken wordcore, drone, experimental, library, hypnotic escapism music. WHΛLT THISИEY aka Fernando Cerqueira is the founder member of Thisco record label and publisher of Antibothis anthologies.

Work on ‘Everywhere, at the end of time’ was all consuming
as you can imagine. All work and no play, all work and no play.
In celebration of its completion and only for a limited time*
here is a surprise golden farewell.
Compliments of the house.
Offering you one last chance to raise a charged glass for
those we lost along the way, for all the works, for those ghosts
from our past, for our uncertain future and for The Caretaker.
You are of course welcome to purchase me a drink if you find
this work to be of personal value.
As the old saying goes “I’m the type of guy who likes to know
who’s buying their drinks, Lloyd.”
Thanks eternally for your support.
C’est fini.
