Two Cycles is out on all streaming platforms today! Vinyl edition is coming in a couple of weeks. Two Cycles is my first solo record and is the result of seven years of composition and collaboration with musicians and artists on an array of projects and performances. I am excited to share this music for the first time away from the performance stage. The album is divided in two cycles. Snow Cycle is a collection of 7 pieces for brass, serpent horn, flutes, percussion and electronics. Game Cycles is a collection of 6 electronic pieces. A heartfelt appreciation goes out to the people that have supported me in the coming together of this record, for their care, skill, generosity, and understanding. This record would not have been possible without them. To the musicians Alexander Iezzi @alexanderiezzi , Andie Stecher @andi_stecher , Rebecca Lane, Adam Sinclaire @adamsinclaire , Max Murray, Spyros Vergis, Menelaos Moriatis and Louis Laurain and the many more musicians who are not on the record but have been working through this material over the last years. To the artists, directors and instrument builders whose artistry and collaboration have been a source of inspiration – Anne Imhof @anne_imhof , Michele Rizzo @micheleasmodeorizzo , Michail Marmarinos and Tanya ‘Viviana’ Abelson @tinytamagotchy . To PAN @pan__hq – Bill Kouligas @bill_kouligas and Nunguja Kisalya @nunguja . To James Ginzburg @jamesginzburg for mixing and Enyang Urbiks @enyang_ha for mastering. The double cover art is a work by the enigmatic James Richard, designed by NMR.CC @nmrdotcc And much thanks to my partner Calum Bowden @calsbot for his support, love and friendship. And thank you to @christinavantzou , @timecrisis_ii , @lugh___ and @johnalsobennett for lending their ears in the process. The album was recorded in parts with Rabih Beaini at Morphine Raum in Berlin @morphine_records_raum and with Ilias R. Flammos at Antart Studios in Athens @antart_studios and Mt. Analogue was recorded at the German Pavilion in Venice back in 2017.

BILLY BULTHEEL shares ‘The Arcades Project (Snow Cycle)’, the first single from the upcoming full-length album ‘Two Cycles’ out via PAN on March 8th. Billy Bultheel’s debut solo album is an ambitious distillation of the composer’s sprawling litany of influences and his unique approach to site-specific composition. A compilation of pieces created between 2016 and 2023, the album is a forceful testament to Bultheel’s expansive performance practice and collaborations with cutting-edge visual artists like Anne Imhof and James Richards. Drawing inspiration from industrial music and metal as well as medieval and baroque polyphony, Bultheel devised a way to present this collection of works side-by-side. The record is split into two distinct cycles: the Snow Cycle, which collects Bultheel’s electro-acoustic and compositional work, and the Game Cycle, which assembles his electronic productions. Written for Trackers by Billy Bulheel / IXVEUTAI by Sophocles, directed by M. Marmarinos at the Ancient Amphitheater of Epidaurus, 2021 Played by Spyros Vergis and Menelaos Moraitis Recorded by Ilias R. Flammos at Antart Studios, Athens, 2022 Mixed by James Ginzburg Mastered by Enyang Urbicks Artwork by James Richards Design by NMR

Though @33___33_33 was first conceived as a collaboration between the artists @billyjohnbultheel and @alexanderiezzi , it has since ballooned into a full band unit. Featuring the addition of @cemdukkha and @ic_ic , the group’s forthcoming release, ‘Tripolar,’ is dissonant and difficult to classify, more the result of a madcap sense of play and possibility than any overarching conceptual or formal themes. Read our interview with the group by clicking the Editorial link, and listen to their new single “Worry Days” on Nina. The band will present their album live with a show at Berlin's Volksbühne on March 26th. (Photo: @josephkhadow )

We are happy to be back at @rewirefestival on April 12. Our 2023 show there meant a lot to us. Something about that night felt unusually aligned, and it’s stayed with us since. This time TRIPOLAR will just be out, so we’ll bring the new record with us. Freshly released, mildly unstable. See you in The Hague <33 📸 @josephkadow <33
