RAIN, NOT THUNDER, FEED BLOOMS
Rain as a portal, lightning as a key, and sprouts as the consequence of tenderness.
One thing becomes another, self-nourishing, contracting and expanding in a dance where there is no mistake, only transformation.
Expose oneself to nature and sweetness as a ritual act.
Let thunder roll to discover that what makes us grow is not the impact but the gentleness.
The event brings together live ambient and experimental music, visual works, meditation and tarot, creating a shared space for slow attention, listening and reflection. Rather than a loud or overwhelming experience, the night invites softness, care and subtle transformation — like rain that nourishes the ground instead of thunder that breaks it.
Through sound, visual art and embodied practices, the event explores cycles of growth, rest and regeneration. Each contribution unfolds gently, allowing time for transition, silence and connection between works.
This is a space to arrive, to stay with what is present, and to let things bloom in their own time. @r.n.t.f.b

Welcome, my shadow
When I was little, I loved to see you walking close to me, stretching in the sunset (my favorite time of day), and short and shy at noon, when the light was too white and burned my skin — so uncomfortable!
I wondered what kind of beast/monster you were. You were something strange, magnetic, that captured my curiosity every sunny day. You were a stranger, with a life of your own, and a nature beyond my understanding. At the same time, I had this feeling of knowing you, of sharing an intimacy, a mutual secret that no one else could understand (not even entirely us). Knowing each other —knowing you and being known by you— scared me a little, I won’t deny it.
I go back to that moment when I saw you long at sunset, like a deformed giant. Spread out gracefully over the dark soil and stones. So much the owner of that earth as of another dimension. On levels that surpassed me. That belonging wasn’t mine. It wasn’t a belonging to this reality before my eyes either. It was a hidden world.
The desire and the fear I feel for you exist in equal parts. I know it’s not your fault or your merit — they’re just mirages born from my limited understanding of things.
So I open the door to you. I leave it unlocked so you can come in and do what you must.
Exile
Nothing this funny had ever been seen in Gelo.
He stepped out of the shattered metal, trembling a little, moved his mouth, and from the very first moment made us laugh — those long legs, those eyes with such perfectly round pupils.
We offered him grubas, files, and kialas.
But he wouldn’t take them. Can you believe it? Not even the kialas. Watching him refuse everything was so funny that the crowd’s laughter carried all the way to the next valley.
Word spread quickly that he was among us. People came from everywhere to see him, and he only looked more ridiculous each time — still rejecting the kialas, still making everyone laugh like waves breaking in a stormy sea.
Days passed. They brought margas from the other side of the world — same thing, he wouldn’t even look at them. We laughed until our sides hurt.
But the best part was the end: he lay down on the hill, face turned toward the stars, and stayed still. His breathing grew weaker, and when it stopped, his eyes were full of water. Yes — you wouldn’t believe it, but his eyes filled with water, real w-a-t-e-r!
Never, never had Gelo seen anything so funny.

What is Fiera Verde?
Fiera Verde is humid forest, it is clearing, it is lagoon, it is reed, it is chimango and eucalyptus with serpents. It is poison and antidote. It is caress and scratch. It is the vertigo and the calm before falling asleep. It is the dream. It is the dreams of monsters, creatures, astral and climatic phenomena. It is the rain and the thunder. It is the wet earth. It is the seed beneath the ground. It is the dry seed on a shelf. It is the fruit. Arrayán with cold bark. It’s a portal. It is the aching muscles after the body has exceeded its limits. It is the restorative nap. It is the infinite hours in front of a screen, surrendering while connecting to the whole.

Out now ✺ VERIL ✺ on Cascade Rumble
What is it? It’s that place where you can no longer touch the ground. Where the lake turns deep blue, cold, and endless. Swimming beyond the veril is both terrifying and fascinating — a leap of faith into the unknown. With fear, but in freedom.
I’m releasing my second EP on the label of the great @daniel.otoole : Cascade Rumble.
Tracklist: 1 — Llave / Key — vocals: @taismorg 2 — Purga / Purge — vocals: @taismorg 3 — Brujas / Witches — vocals, samples & synths: @tina.disco ; vocals: @taismorg 4 — Derrumbe / Overthrow — synths & drums: @palazzo.palazzo 5 — Veril
