It's Synthetic Tales time again entering the fall with our usual selection of sounds and poetry. Tune in tomorrow (Thursday 18th) on our mothership @90milradio from 9pm to 11pm. 🕷
Blends of musico poems bass and ambient intersection with @akiko.inwndrlnd ; translations and sounds coming from the deep of the forest with @flusterbrew3 and @ismilianis ; pure and deep drum and bass with @solma.als .
akiko, musico poetic (non) existence researcher and eabricoeaa curator. she channels a sonic exploration of cartography of trance.
@flusterbrew3 is a spoken word poet who previously performed original pieces live at the Synthetic Tales for CTM Vorspiel 2024. But for this prerecorded Synthetic Tales, they taped a reading of part of a poem by Kristina Lugn, with each stanza echoed by Klara's own English translation. They then gave it to ismilianis to add music, noise, and texture.
@ismilianis is a sound artist who's been followed by death for the past year. the mountains called, they found a goblin in a gathering of witches and it told them about the waves of life.
Solma draws inspiration from the hypnotic pulse of modern deep techno and the vibrant energy of UK bass music, weaving these influences into his own psychedelic sound. As the Paris-based producer and co-founder of Virtual Forest Records, he has cultivated a signature style defined by meticulous sound design that fluidly crosses genre boundaries and rates.

So, in case you missed it, we kinda started our monthly newsletter.
💌
It's called pocket and the second chapter will be out tonight on Substack and in your inbox if you want it.
Expect writings, updates, open calls, musings, trend alerts and other absurdities we wanted to publicly compile somewhere on the internet.
Internet could be more about archival, collective thinking and wondering around. That's just how we are trying to use it now.
You can find the first release here:
