Something discovered – invented, considered, imagined. Set aside. Forgotten. Lost. Mourned. Wondered. Mythologized. Lionized. Reconsidered. Reinvented. Replaced?
Featuring improvised piano.
Are kiss of promised springtime you. Lonely long makes seem that the winter. Are breathless evening hush of the you. A brink lovely of on that the song trembles.

Sundialll is a contemporary music group based in Taipei and Bandung, featuring vocalist/feedback artist Alica Han and multi-instrumentalist/electronic musician Rama Saputra. Coming from distinct musical backgrounds, they explore new sonic landscapes beyond their borders, embarking on fictional journeys through music. Their process begins with deconstructing rhyme, rhythm, and noise, drawing inspiration from their roots and folklore.
Sundialll 是一個以台北和萬隆為基地的當代音樂團體，由歌手/反饋者 Alica Han 和多樂器/電子音樂家 Rama Saputra 組成。他們來自不同的世界，通過音樂中的虛構旅程，想像一個超越邊界的新世界，從解構來自根源和民間傳說的韻律、節奏和噪音開始。
HUB is an eight-part live album built on free improvisation, centered around the fictional theme of social ritual. It is inspired by gratitude as a transition through the chaos of urban life and the organic social cohesion that emerges from improvisational language. Celebrating the convergence of diverse identities and places, Sundialll collaborates with sound improvisers Hong-Yu Chen (Xiao, Suona, Suling, Clarinet, Chinese Flute) and Dutch E Germ (Drums, Gong, Percussions), alongside dance improvisers Yu-Ting Tu, Naau Wang, and Ouro Yang. With a slow and silent gaze, we extend a welcoming gesture—“Come in, for the boundaries have been opened” (Bubuka).
《HUB》是一張包含八首即興現場表演的專輯，具有社會儀式的虛構主題。它受到感恩的啟發，作為混亂都市生活過渡的一部分，並反映了即興語言所創造的混合身份的社會凝聚力。慶祝來自不同地方和身份的人們的融合，Sundialll 邀請了兩位聲音即興表演者—陳泓宇（笛、唢呐、竹笛、單簧管、花笛）和 Dutch E Germ（鼓、鍾、打擊樂器），以及三位舞蹈即興表演者—凃于婷 、王芊涵 和 Ouro Yang。以緩慢而寧靜的目光，我們呈現出一個歡迎的姿態—「來吧，邊界已經打開」（Bubuka）
Some things are burned to remember – others, to forget. When systems are burning knowledge is lost, and the fire spreads. The past is lost twice – first slowly, then all at once.
Featuring clarinet, accompanied by bass drum, hi-hat, crackling fire, and tom drums.

There comes a point where the easiest thing to do is simply play – and it can be joyful, sorrowful, frivolous, and dire. But while it is all of these things, there is something it is not – amelioration. I should practice.
Featuring clarinet.

Thoughts continue – meander. Though seemingly less directed, there is a form of order. Wandering is simply a form of searching for something you don’t yet know you’re looking for.
Featuring improvised piano.
Thogonal – or, how lines may independently proceed. Or, why angles vary regularly. Or, how contours crease liminal boundaries. Or, thogonal.
Featuring improvised piano.
Supposedly, (un)naturally, things are organized. Entropy strikes – coordination (de)creases. Branches span the structure-holding apertures. A larger picture emerges – formulaic, for some.
Featuring alto saxophone and reverb.

Glitter, Litter, both transport
and serve their Purpose,
yet fall short.
Glisten, Listen, all that shines
is less than Precious,
in decline.
Glossy, Lossy, error rates
will pervade Substance,
not abate.
Featuring alto sax.
Japanese electronic and improvisational artist TaUYu DeShiI crafts an atmospheric soundscape inspired by a journey through Okinawa’s remote islands.
“MY MEMORY” was created mid-trip, the album blends ambient electronica with fluid improvisation, evoking a sense of movement and discovery.
Soft synth textures and organic sound elements mirror the islands’ mystique, capturing fleeting moments of travel. The music radiates exoticism, not as a concept but as a lived experience.
Fans of ambient and minimal electronic music will find this release immersive—an invitation to drift through sound, just as the artist drifted through the islands.
Some are keen to declare how things ought to be,
But often neglect that which they do not see.
It’s easy to care about nearby brethren,
And hard to accept that All are kin.
Featuring improvised clarinet and reverb.

It has been 20 years since Heitor Alves released under the alias Atom Size Elephant on MiMi Records.
Now he’s back with Undiagnosed, an album made up of two tracks that explore ambient, electronic, and improvised music.
The album, marked by ethereal textures and unpredictable rhythms, reflects the search for clarity in chaos. It is a fusion of structure and spontaneity, offering a reflection on the complexities of both human and sonic existence.
Undiagnosed is an intricate dialogue between technology and human intuition, offering a deep reflection on the complexities of existence. One example of this is the track “into the depths of loneliness,” which has a moment of near silence in the middle… allowing the listener time for personal introspection.
A truly interesting listening experience. A must listen!
Illusive sliver lures evils:
Rules rile, lives live –
Will lies sell?
Slier, wiser, sillier,
We vise ills – use wires – view silver –
Swell, swirl, rise,
Survive.
Featuring piano layered with strings.
Wondering what will, we.
Originate our own –
Understanding, until:
Later lives, listening,
Do drought – doubt – death.
Featuring piano.
Events occur – time passes. What happened still happened, yet enough stillness gives separation. Ideally, this detachment is partial – a boon of timely perspective, allowing appreciation of other things while retaining connection to that which was.
Featuring clarinet.
