Experimental Electronic Music
Unexplained Sounds 3.0 is a bold statement. A hauntingly beautiful homage to the legacy of the Clicks & Cuts era, this compilation highlights past innovation with future possibility, unraveling micro-rhythmic mysteries and glitch-born textures in ways both cerebral and emotionally resonant.
An epic imaginary soundtrack for a fanciful film noir. In a dreamlike and nocturnal atmosphere, filled with rain and decaying sounds, In Darkness Let Me Dwell—available on Owl Totem, a “dark vibes” division of Dronarivm Records—deconstructs, reworks and wants to pay homage to the imagery and clichés of cinema noir.
This sonic exploration series is the product of many durational and deep-listening sessions, unfolding gradually over time and in constant flux, texturally and spatially3made to take your time with and see how your experience shifts across multiple listens.
