Atmospheric deeptech cut. Half the beats, double the depth. Comes with complementary beatless version.

The Extragalactic Sessions Part 4
The Extragalactic Sessions is a series of recordings, sonically spiralling amidst the outer filaments of the universe in an attempt to escape the fluxus of life on Earth.
Moving in stellar groups alongside Alpha Persei and Beta Pictoris, traversing interplanetary dust clouds through non-stellar radiation, until galactic obscuration.

Serenus
Spiritual successor of “Parcial”, serenity ensues.
Parcial
A seemingly effortless flow of harmonic partials, divided in two, with each their own ethereal character.
NºXX
The ambiguous title “NºXX” refers to both the Latin writing for night and number twenty. Much as “Tenth” (Other Heights, 2010) was a closing album for the Reduct series 1 to 9, “NºXX” is a closing album for the Reduct series 11 to 19.
As the reference in the title to night suggests, the music is all about nocturnal dub vibes, weaving through moonlit ambient clouds.
Nineteenth Reduct
For the nineteenth installment of the Reduct series I took inspiration from the initial series 1 through 9 with its extended hardware sessions, resulting in two 10+ minute dub techno tracks with a vintage flair.

I N F R A KLANG [Remastered]
Thirteen years after its conception, a remaster of the Infraklang catalog was long overdue. Set up as an audio blog, parallel to the Reduct series, its focus was to release more diverse recordings from the new studio.
For this album though, I have limited myself to remaster just the Ohrwert recordings, which still clocks in at over 90 minutes. As none of the tracks dip below the ten minute mark, they range from extensive tube-amplified tape echo excercises, to a half-beat crossover between Berlin-school and dub techno, all documenting a slice of time I spent in the studio, jamming into the wee hours of the morning.
Eighteenth Reduct
These tracks have made several appearances this year on various podcasts. One of the versions has been published on Soundcloud with artwork created by a neural network, which is added as a bonus item.
Technically, the music is an all-out hardware extravaganza, combining sequential and dub elements with both analog and digital sources. The main difference between the versions is the hihat programming, which, in a subtle way, dictates the density of the music.
The Extragalactic Sessions Part 3
The Extragalactic Sessions is a series of recordings, sonically spiralling amidst the outer filaments of the universe in an attempt to escape the fluxus of life on Earth.
After traveling through blazar jets and crossing the great voids, we have arrived in an extragalactic planetary system. Drifting in orbit, gravitationally locked.
