raw surface

bruised

inside

the cavities

of our chests

we are

falling

into an abyss

downwards

into a void

hollow

endless

zero sight

gravity gone

under our feet

we have been

losing

We are of dark rays, But we observe with the mystery to imagine Our angle limits, Our circle maps, Shadow Ellipse total uses of, Eclipses of Ether, Ecliptic face of obliquity Yet its scarcity of phenomena Nevertheless, to remain everywhere ,simultaneously With unexpected astonishment. (JBW) One month after the recordings 'we are of dark rays' (joinedbywire.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-of-dark-rays) has been released online by JOINED BY WIRE, a project me (grm) had been following for quite a while with great interest and admiration, the COLDSORE recordings were conducted during xMESS'24. Later on, i invited and we agreed to do split-tape cassette release with our recordings under the same title/concept. Recorded with different means and approaches, but with what i consider to be a suitable atmospheric overlap, we here present 90min of long form guitar based experimental ambient noise and modular drum'n'drone. One side of our tape has been recorded in a span of about a year and the other recorded in one night. Listen to in the dark, while positioned horizontally to let the dark rays in.  C90 split-tape cassette, milky white cassette body with a black and white label on one side and a 3-panel fold out J-card in black and white laserprint in a standard cassette case with a shiny white back part. hand numbered, limited edition of 30 copies.

KEMIA / COLDSORE                    

This is the 3rd release KEMIA is involved in on TOTES FORMAT. This time on a split release with COLDSORE, in which both projects explore the lower realms of experimental electronic music. Nothing really new for both of us, but still, it feels like we managed to dive a little deeper with sounds emerging from elevated levels of (de-)pressions. Fragments of forgotten field recordings mangled and/or layered into [myzik kɔ̃kʁɛt] burdening, menacing and melancholic, loops and minimal melodies creating pulsating mazes, opening up into vast horizons, just to cave in to claustrophobic spheres in which breathing seems impossible. Capturing moments and freezing time to make it possible to connect and try to make sense(s). Decoding resonances to physical and psychological environments into a conserved acoustic signal. [a tape version is in the making.] released December 4, 2020 COLDSORE: www.coldsore.tk TOTES FORMAT: www.totes-format.tk
