Some rituals are well-defined – others, not so much. How does one behave during an unknown ritual? Perhaps life itself is such a thing, for unknown ends and uncertain time.
Featuring synthesizers, drum machines, low strings, reversed Rhodes piano, effected saxophone, upright bass, shaker, and voice.
The idea behind the Corazón project is directly linked to the production of the edits in this release. In the attempt to find a different soundscape from the scene in which he was inserted at the time, the artist reached for Brazilian music in a way to form a unique setlist, bringing an original identity to the project.
Therefore, classical and significant music from Brazilian history were carefully selected and went through an experimental process, by studio or by live edits on stage, the songs started to be reconstructed under Pablo’s unique vision.
Originally from Francisco Beltrão in Paraná, Brazil, Pablo is a musician, DJ, and music producer. Now based in Curitiba, he was a drummer for Audac, releasing an album produced by Gordon Raphael, known for his work on The Strokes’ albums “Is This It” and “Room On Fire”. He has performed at festivals such as Popload Gig in São Paulo, Meca Festival in Porto Alegre, and FARM/Picolé at Circo Voador in Rio de Janeiro. He began presenting DJ sets at James Bar, where he was a resident for four years. As a member of GATOPARDØ, he performed at Adhana Festival editions and has five releases under the record label.
Currently, he produces events with Portal Kirin, with Kirin Sets being the main project he’s involved in.
This series will remain a hidden gem in our Bandcamp for obvious reasons. We will invite different artists with edits from different regions of the country, and each edition will come with exclusive and limited cassette tapes.

Subterranean soundscapes for Autumn’s turns, shifting perspectives, and uneasy realizations.
Harmonic drones, partial melodies, and skittering rhythms combine as nostalgic, melancholic electronic music.
Professionals, like well-to-do neighbors, must keep up appearances. Appearing to know what you are doing is perhaps even more important than appearing productive. This makes asking questions difficult – and so many times, people quietly hold on to their confusion.
Featuring synthesizers, sequencers, FM piano, drum machine, trumpet, and female voice singing “oocht.”

“I stood gazing into the night. I knew that we were being stalked by ships of the Imperial Japanese Fleet. We had been trying to hunt them down all day. Enemy planes were flying over our heads, and the islands around us were full of their soldiers. Next to me, on the small bridge, was Lieutenant Kennedy. A boy of twenty-six who looked several years younger. Suddenly, a flash of lightning illuminated the night. It was a Japanese destroyer bearing down on us. Sound the alarm! Kennedy shouted to me. I ran two steps and sounded the alarm… but the destroyer slammed into our ship, splitting it in two. Kennedy fell backwards and I fell with him…. (T. Sartoris, RUMBOS Magazine, 1961).”
The above story, starring radio operator John Maguire and Lieutenant Kennedy, during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 by the Imperial Japanese Navy, presents us with dangers and risks on the high seas caused by the hand of man of war, who does not consider the sea, which can be even more accurate, objective and harmful, without being at war with man. The four tracks of the album La Odisea de Poseidón, are a musical account of some of the most inhospitable places where the sea shows its claw to the ships and their crews. I personally know the Golfo de Penas and the Drake Sea, I have crossed them on more than one occasion. Sometimes it seemed that the sea hated us, or that we were fighting a battle with it, or simply playing. GOZNE’s music could transport me to those moments with every sound and atmosphere. Here is the grinding of the iron bars, wind and sea leading the baton. Poseidon, Greek deity of the seas, seems to sing the lowest tones of the orchestration and his retinue does his thing to put the most technologically gifted vessel and the most experienced crew in trouble. An odyssey indeed, and nothing less than the Odyssey of Poseidon.

With a sense of musical introspection, incantatory melodicism and cinematic dread Philippe Blache (from Day Before Us) goes back on the forefront with a highly thrilling melancholic drama for sonic driftscapes and devastating walls of power electronics tempered by organic ethereal vibes. Detached and evanescent melodies are battling against the obscured, unsettling, stormy and weary industrial atmosphere. Powerful internal narrations and incantatory voices at distance occasionally come into the mix. With its performative bitter anthems, its ritualistic then almost religious nature, the album invites the listener to be progressively mersed in a netwok of allusive images, investing pagan mythologies, poetical escapism and christian symbology. This is the second musical offspring signed under his own name after a prolific production under the moniker of “Day Before Us”, veteran project in sorrowful dark wave neoclassicism. «Across the silence and the shade» is an essential and mournful post-ambient journey which involves an emotional catharsis.
Released November 17, 2023 as free (cc) digital download and beautiful limited digipak CD edition.

Failure of reality in the numbers of the system questions their purposes for the observer with its source of reality being the system itself. Due to quantization noise, logic fails at every single variable yet making sense, proving it is useless being the only usable unit of measurement. The system is stuck in a sequential feedback loop applying workarounds because of a major design flaw – capability of only a single answer that always ends the sequence in a contradiction.
Dissonant soundscapes of reverb manipulated into a confusing structure led by clinically digital pulses of noise.

The songs on this album were originally composed for and performed live at Angie’s Sunday Service in Brooklyn, New York on July 3, 10, 17, 24, and 31, 2022.
“Flayte Neo Sur” summarizes the methodologies of 10 years of sound composition for performing arts by the composer Jayson Hernández (1992). The main inspiration for this work is the collaboration with five electroacoustic composers: Valentina Aguilera, Ariel Fernández, Matias Alarcón, Antonia Valladares and José Miguel Candela, who, in a featuring capacity, contribute to the composition of the album.
The album comprises 5 pieces, each of which is infused with elements inspired by Granja Sur, multifocality, and the re-signification of a territory that emerged post-dictatorship in Chile, located in the southern outskirts of the capital. Each piece is associated with an aphorism proposed by the composer. The invitation was to improvise in an electroacoustic key and then compose based on this experience, induced through a somatic practice that allowed a connection with the archives and repertoires of the geography.
Inspired by observation and recording, the album seeks to challenge the concept of the periphery from a political perspective. Its primary influences are local artists from the southern area of the capital, such as muralist Oficio Erico and the UFO Group, poet Juan Carreño and the Vlop Cinema Collective. The album also reflects on aesthetic experiences in peripheral territories, particularly in Granja Sur and its surroundings, where the composer gathers local testimonies and symbols as elements that shape the soundscapes of the compositions.

sevensy (aka Austin Brooks) creates music that directly facilitates imaginal sojourns, wherein the message is the sound itself. sevensy mixes electronic and natural sounds with processed guitars and acoustic instruments and has released his music with Mahorka from the time of the label’s inception.
His musical themes ‘unfold into an unusual landscape’ so that it is often impossible to tell where one ends and another begins.
“Form emerges, as fragile as a snowdrop’s blossom, as solid as a mountain, then recedes and is transformed. Awareness witnesses the interplay of all things. “Reckoning (creation)” aims to musically depict this metamorphosis. Acoustic or treated electric guitar forms the basis of every piece, though this may not be evident upon first listening. Layers of synthesisers and bass are interwoven with fragments of melodies that coalesce and dissolve.”
