about

“Travelling Waves I was recorded with an Arp 2500 synthesizer at the Dutch Willem Twee Studios. All tracks are the distilled result of an intuitive exploration of the instrument, mostly done in one take with only minimal editing. The raw beauty of the ARP 2500, its organic resonances and the versatility of its sounds amazed me. Handling the instrument felt like making electricity sing, like conducting a choir of circuits while at the same time letting myself be guided by its own ideas and suggestions.”

Sova Stroj is Luxembourg-based producer Michel Flammant. With a history in black metal, rock and synth pop bands, he has spent the last decade delving into experimental and electronic music. Although modular and software-based synthesis are at the core of his music, he often incorporates different and seldom used instruments, a love for sound always defining his compositional work. Keen on detail and precision, his compositions wander from their electronic roots with ease and poise, a defined eclecticism always running through them. In the studio as well as when performing live, improvisation and chance are integral parts of his music. Sova Stroj has previously released on Testtoon and Rohstoff Records.

Diagnosis of Our Time
by Fayerabend

"Diagnosis of Our Time" is a conceptual release, ambient in its essence, with lots of field recordings, dedicated to the symptoms of the decay of the modern world. Élan Vital

Noises of Nature
by Various Artists

Each musician in this compilation comprehends the concept of noise in their own way: the noise of traffic, the grinding of strings, the sounds of nature, the hiss of the tape. Élan Vital
