Gridlines dissolve. Time stops. This is a canvas of pure texture, frequency, and weightless gravity, where traditional rhythm is stripped away to expose the raw, vibrating spectrum of avant-garde sound. Six visionary composers, no pulse______only color.

01. Katharina Klement – Vortex (2018/2021) [00:00 - 09:28] (Stereo Acousmatic Version) — Winner of the first prize at the Weimar Spring Days for Contemporary Music (Weimarer Frühjahrstage) in 2023, this purely loudspeaker-intended piece follows the Baroque concept of the "elastic fold." Beginning with a narrow, sustained midrange line, it gradually folds into weightless glissandi that accelerate into spirals, turbulence, and dense, magnificent acoustic whirls.

02. Dganit Elyakim – One On 1.1 for metal percussion and electronics (2021) [09:29 - 17:56] (Percussion: Tomer Galili | Mix: Ronald Boersen) — An ongoing musical dialogue designed for a solo acoustic instrument paired with live electronics, where the computer acts as a sonic "parasite," mutating Tomer Galili’s metal percussion in real time. The boundary between physical striking and digital resonance blurs entirely, morphing hard metal into fluid soundscapes.

03. Alen Ilijic – sHe knows (2024–2026) [17:57 - 29:01] — Composed and performed by Alen Ilijic, recorded by Sven Pavlović at Sunday Studios, and mixed and mastered by Charlie Beresford. This piece reflects a radical, avant-garde approach that prioritises raw, intuitive expression and uncompromising artistic truth over traditional structures. The work serves as a deeply personal act of remembrance, dedicated by Ilijic in 2026 to the memory of Dina, Evgeny, Eitan, and Aline Kapshetar, a family whose lives were lost to HAMAS terrorists on October 7th, 2023.

04. Dafna Naphtali – Scatternet (2016) [29:02 - 37:55] — Performed by Dafna Naphtali (voice, electronics, live sound processing) and originally released on the album Silver Shift. This track is a masterful study in real-time digital alchemy, using custom electronic patches to fragment and scatter her own voice across the stereo field, turning a human instrument into a complex, shimmering web of pure electronic color.

05. Guy Barash – Proteus: Electric Monologue (2008–2009) [37:56 - 46:19] — A profound musical rendition featuring text by Nick Flynn and the voice of Andrew Struck-Marcell, drawing from Flynn’s memoir “The Ticking Is The Bomb” and his poetry collection “The Captain Asks for a Show of Hands.” Named after the shifting Greek sea-god who changes his shape to evade capture, this piece slips seamlessly through shifting electronic forms, anchoring an elusive future in the raw grit of the spoken word.

06. Arie Shapira – Left-Right (1996/2000) [46:20 - 1:01:03] — A monumental electro-acoustic work from the late Israeli modernist master, originally featured on his retrospective album Electronics Plus and layered with text by poets Meir Wieseltier, Dan Pagis, Aryeh Sivan, Natan Zach, and Raya Harnik. Left-Right serves as a stark, dense sonic commentary on political polarisation, stripping away traditional harmony to expose the clashing, static friction of words, memory, and social structures.

Vol. II is already in the works and coming soon! Stay tuned for the next phase.
