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' 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.

METSÄÄN - OURBOROS AUTOPOIESIS - extreme EFX chain feedback looper
A feedback looper that squeezes the extreme out of your EFX-chain. Perfect for 'Tone scouts', sound-designers and those who like harsh noises. An extended version of the Death by Audio - Total Sonic Annihilation 2 pedal, the METSÄÄN version has a 3 stage MODE selector that switched between 'vanilla'/ORIGINAL and boosted HIGHS or LOWS, which exponentially enhances the sonic possibilities of the original pedal and allows for dynamic frequency shifts in a harsh noise live performance, for example. But this pedal is not just god for harsh noises, but also for subtle tone experimentation, imagine a sound modulator like a delay or tremolo modulating itself in a loop. wonderful textures and abstract saturation might occur. Sometimes, you might get not much out of it and with other set-ups a plethora of unexpected sonic gems. With some EFX chain set-ups an input signal is not needed, as you can generate no-input noise scapes. A experimental sound artist's treasure trove/ pandorra's box. This feedback looper enables you to send the output of your EFX-chain back into it's input, in NORMAL mode, you control the the amount with only the FEEDBACK (Note: this pot works counterclockwise) pot, but in the ACTIVE (indicated by a ultraviolet LED) mode you get hands-on control of GAIN, FEEDBACK, PHASE, FREQUENCY MODE and of course final OUTPUT LEVEL (to tame the potentially destructively loud signal.). The 4x 6.3mm mono sockets on the back side of the pedal are from left to right (when pointing away from you): OUTPUT, RETURN, SEND, INPUT. When the TRUE BYPASS (indicated with a green LED) is engaged, your signal still goes through your EFX-chain in the loop. The Power input is for 'boss-style', center negative 2.1mm DC plugs, that are pretty standard for EFX-pedals it needs 9V DC (PSU not included). Build into a standard die-cast aluminum enclosure individually painted in the the burned out industry camo pattern in chrome and black. Handmade by GRM for METSÄÄN.
DEMO VIDEO follows. Stay detuned.

The METSÄÄN version of the legendary BENJOLIN in eurorack format is available again. Letting the rungler run in memory of Rob Hordijk. This time with more suitable looking knobs. Compared to the original circuit this is vers. 1.6 by Forestcaver with output amplified to eurorack level . Interested?

Reading circle: The Suffocating Void - Domestication and Pathological Distraction by Kevin Tucker
7.2. + 12.2.25 / 18:00 to 21:00 / #kirjakahvila / Turku
Please feel invited to join us in a 2-part reading circle, in which we will talk about the text above. It was chosen in the context of the sad reality that in our attempts to create forms of anarchist community relations and affinities, we very often encounter the enforced reality
of so called ‘online social networks’ and ‘mobile technologies’. Too many people feel like these are the only way to access something that poses as a community, but in fact can be considered a system of traps, which destroys all that we desire and need, including our minds. It is an attack, not only on its human ‘users’ and producers, but on all of Earth, as for the required resources, global colonial extraction with civilization as its driving force aims to consume everything just to maintain itself - the suffocating void.
Our intention is to create true solidarity, resistance and autonomy for Life...nothing less than TOTAL LIBERATION.
