Urschaum :: Dimensional Transient (Component)
These are soundtracks for forgotten horizons—the kind viewed distinctly on the project’s cover—where each composition unfolds in barren sequences of industrial hum, muffled turbulence, distant resonance, and vast auditory plateaus that seem to stretch without end.

Rafael Anton Irisarri :: A Fragile Geography 10th Anniversary Reissue (Black Knoll Editions)
There is a geography of the soul that Rafael Anton Irisarri mapped out in 2015, a cartography drawn with electrified mists, torn soundscapes, and submerged melancholies.

Now, ten years later, the album returns in a newly curated edition by Black Knoll Editions.
