juha- its like watching a movie you know through frosted and warped glass, you recognise all the scenes and sounds, but theyre now fractured, crystalline, and alien. Its music that we are all too familiar with, in a way we've never heard it before.

its beautiful

zhangtastic Static, wavy, and fuzzy production alongside these distant drums puts you in a dark, but calm state. Future garage fans, take heed. Favorite track: PHANEROTHYME.

carp heavy, brooding, dark garage. absolutely oozing groove, with some extremely impressive arrangement

Favorite track: PHANEROTHYME.

remnant beautiful. love the high end which is often lost in this kind of music. great work

about

After releasing my debut album 'EGO DEATH', I started working on the single 'GRADIENT', but felt I couldn't create anything I liked anymore. I had just released this huge body of work, so writing music felt like this central part of my identity that I could no longer access. I relied greatly on narrative to carry me through the first album, and without that, I couldn’t figure out where to go. The song sat in a half-finished state for months.

My inability to create made me feel like a fraud. Making electronic music got me through a lot of tough stuff and suddenly I found that the space that was so sacred and special was no longer welcoming to me. I stopped even attempting to write music for myself, and instead focused on doing creative work for others.

However during this time, I still kept up with listening to electronic music. Now that the pandemic was more or less gone and live events had resumed, I found myself getting inspired again.

Time went by, and the grief that had taken hold had begun to fade a bit, and I
found myself looking back at the little fragments of songs I had left in a folder named ‘sepulchre’ on my desktop. A word for a stone chamber where the dead are laid to rest, what started as a grim joke, suddenly held power. These audio fragments and ideas all felt like little snap shots of myself, tiny monuments of what I had been feeling, but now also held possibility. I decided I didn’t care if my stuff was perfect or new, or grand, or whatever, I just wanted to coalesce what I felt into something tangible. For the first time in nearly 6 months, I felt the urge to write something again for myself. Rather than build off some singular focused narrative, 'SEPULCHRE' is instead a kind of catalog about my unrequited love of dance music in its many forms, while taking a deep introspective look at my own creative process while learning to love electronic music again.

I hope you enjoy it!

I had previously come across one or two of KOAN Sound's tracks, but I never decided to delve into any projects of theirs, and boy did I decide on a fantastic first listen. This is an auditory odyssey that takes you on an incredible journey the likes of which I have only heard from the most elite of composers for the movie industry. KOAN Sound have created perhaps one of my favorite stories in audio form as of recent. j.s.t.r
