Dark Folk · Organic Unease · Instrumental

Two records grown from the same dark soil — each one an act of listening to what lives underneath silence. Instruments taken apart and reassembled. Percussion that arrives like a pulse. Something organic. Something not quite right.

A Systematic Deconstruction of Nothingness

post-folkexperimentalinstrumental18 movements

Instruments dismantled, sampled, returned to themselves — eighteen pieces that find something profound inside the act of taking everything apart. What remains when the familiar structure is removed is not emptiness, but its shape.

Stripped to bone and breath. Percussion arrives like something remembered rather than played. The pitchless sounds carry as much weight as the notes themselves — tense, unresolved, alive in the way that rot is alive.

the same root

Both records emerge from a single practice — listening to what instruments say when they are not being performed traditionally. What sound is when it has no audience. Organic. Uncertain. Like something growing in the dark toward a light it cannot name.
