** TITLE HAS NOT BEEN ANNOUNCED! PLEASE DO NOT POST ANYWHERE ONLINE (INCLUDING A PREORDER) UNTIL OCTOBER 9 ** Amina HOCINE « X3 » (2024) X3, by Amina Hocine, draws progressively, subtly and inexorably on the complementary nature of sound materials. Patiently and delicately blending pure sine waves, field recordings and sounds produced with a ‘foghorn organ’ (an instrument developed by Hocine herself), X3 invites both introspection and contemplation. Inspired by a symbol of the Danish mystic Martinus Thomsen representing the evolution of a being in the physical world, Amina Hocine invites us on a long journey, balancing between the static and the changing, between the almost imperceptible and the grandiose, with rare elegance and grace. It is a music of transition that Amina Hocine offers us, a music where the mediation of sound, wave after wave, becomes meditation. — Espen SOMMER EIDE « Until the Fish Eyes Shine » (2025) In Until the Fish Eyes Shine, Espen Sommer Eide takes an inspired panoramic and retrospective look at his musical work, often produced under the pseudonym Phonophani. By revisiting and reimagining the sounds of his early years, with the late 1990s ambient techno scene in Tromsø as a background, Eide summons a music that is anything but nostalgic, but instead offers a kind of ‘geological stratification’ where eras and protocols collide, overlap and complement each other, revealing the remarkable singularity of the Norwegian artist’s sound palette. The piece also expresses the extreme consistency and authenticity of his musical vision, a vision in which technological innovations, the contemplated environment and lived emotions converge in a space apart, that of dreamlike music, always to be invented, always in motion, always in transformation.
