This is All out 1 week 🩵 Writing about music is haaard - much easier to just make it. That said - Big thank you to my writing and editing team @june__jones , @arabassque and @kirapuru for helping me with this write up : Spanning eight tracks, This is All shifts through moods and genres as it contemplates communication and reality. From a distance, This is All presents itself as an electronic pop record. But up close, its intricate sound design and restless experimentation draws from the fringes of breakbeat, prog rock, classical and musique concrète. This is All wrestles with precision and vulnerability, delivering something between the mechanical and the human. Pseuda’s voice, often pitch-shifted or refracted through layers of processing, functions as both orator and mechanised instrument. Songs like “Freeze” and “Pretty Places” stretch toward a sonic world of post-hyperpop, while “Latenights” and the title track’s moody breakbeats—accompanied by the soaring trumpet harmonies of Niveen Abdelatty—skirt the dissonance and release of prog-rock alongside orchestral textures. 📸 @noicepicciesm8 Image description: a picture of Seth standing in an abandoned gas station leaning against a pole. They are looking away from the camera, with their legs crossed wearing grey jeans, a black jacket and hood. It is nighttime and a flash is used. Image 2: a picture of an apple that has marks on it that look like a face. The picture has been overlaid with headphone emoji so the apple looks like it’s wearing headphones. The headphones maybe sit too low for the apple’s ears but where are apple’s ears anyway?

Hello everyone big news not coming it’s right here right now - I’m going to release my album This is All this Friday 🫣 I’ll be changing my name from Geryon and releasing under “Pseuda” (like my last name - Suda… but spelt in a way that isn’t already 10 other artists) it’s been 6 years in the making and people are always like “when ?!” But the truth is a lot has happened in that time - personally, creatively and in the world and my solo project hasn’t been my priority over this time. Actually, I think that’s how it should be! Let’s push against the weird content creator hellscape that prioritizes arbitrary timelines and individual success over community building, collaboration, health etc and also just taking your time with art. THAT SAID it’s been long enough so it’s coming out and I hope you listen :) Will be releasing it on Bandcamp and SoundCloud - followed by some streaming services. It won’t be released on Spotify and obviously will be not released for streaming in Israel cause fuck Israel. Speak soon , Seth 📷 @kirapuru @noicepicciesm8 🫶🏻 Image description: image is of Seth sitting against the bottom of a large sign. They are sitting with their knees up and hands over their knees looking at the camera. Wearing a brown hoodie with black pants and green shoes. The sun is shining behind them and the sign.

Tonight and tomorrow @_famili._ play their first shows in years at Northcote Social Club to celebrate Firekeeper being in the world. It’s been a true honour to be a part of this project working with artists who I’ve had deep respect and love for long before working together, which has only gotten deeper over the last few years. This process has been long and epic but to quote Porobibi “to build a village takes time” and to experience the result of this work is a gift and privilege. This is just the beginning gging and I hope you’re there for it 🫶🏻 Come see Dani Sib, Iki, Lakatoi, Lonelyspeck, Porobibi, Waru and myself play with help from sound wizard Guy Faletolu at NSC Wednesday and Thursday - Tickets on door at 8 - Famili start 9 sharp 🧡 A very big thank you to @__lakatoi for inviting me to be a part of this project xo
