Fate Æffect - Parasomnia
[Dark Ambient]
https://neotantra.bandcamp.com/album/parasomnia

Introducing "Parasomnia": Fate Æffect's new Dark Ambient Electronic album that explores the realm of sleep disorders out now on Italian Ambient Label - Neotantra.

Guiding listeners through a haunting sonic landscape, Parasomnia delves deep into the mysterious realm of sleep disorders, inviting the audience to embark on a transformative musical journey before drifting off into slumber.

Drawing inspiration from various sleep disorders, Fate Æffect has translated these experiences into a unique musical language, effortlessly merging ambient textures creating ethereal and introspective soundscapes, enveloping the listener in an immersive tapestry of sonic whispers and hypnotic rhythms.
"Parasomnia" is designed to be experienced before entering the realm of dreams. Fate Æffect encourages
listeners to embrace the album as a tool for winding down, promoting a calm and meditative state of mind.

As the layers intertwine, they beckon the mind to wander, transcending the boundaries of consciousness and connecting with the deeper layers of the subconscious.

"Parasomnia" is set to release on 7 July 2023 on the Neotantra label.

Prelest is the archived output of an installation conceived for, and performed at 2018's Hillscene Live festival in the Dandenong Ranges of Victoria, accompanied by compositions from the artists as individuals which, through no direct involvement, communicate similar themes.

Part 1-2 [Side A] comprises the Prelest recordings, for which a strict set of conditions were established: all material should be generated in real-time; the visual element was to be constructed in direct response to the aural component; attention should be directed towards building hypnotic aural/visual stimulus emulating the mystical experience of visionary states.

Part 3-4 [Side B] is a collection of recordings made by Clouds Above Chaos in their respective studios for their own edification and the exploration of their own mental processes.

The artistic intent of the release is to bring into question the validity of using modern methods of signal generation to induce hypnotic and mystical states of consciousness, and whether exploiting the human brains' tendency towards pareidolia and responding to sensory overload by entering into trance is a useful spiritual tool, or if it only leads to a state of spiritual delusion- the definition of Prelest itself.

The listener is invited to temporarily suspend their state of external distraction and listen to the output of these experiments at a volume level just below discomfort, in a state of either visual overstimulation by way of computer-generated geometric visualisations, or having deprived their visual senses entirely by way of sitting in a completely dark room or otherwise diminishing the visual faculty for the duration of the performance.
As an extension of the exercise, utilising a method of focus on the breath is also recommended for the duration in order to further align the experient with the desired field of subjective inquiry.

Hatched in 2018, Geist Contagion is the latest solo project from Jonathan Haus of the Toronto-based glitch band The Databats.

Geist Contagion’s second EP “Residue” is an experimental electronic journey through spaces, outer and inner, inspired by concepts such as communications intelligence, government mind control, and the degradation of our physical environments. The EP’s frenetic beats and soaring synths create a hypnotic atmosphere of modern ambivalence, mirroring our own frenzied lives in late stage capitalism.

Constructed utilizing a myriad of analog, digital, modular and virtual synthesizers, “Residue” weaves in and out of genres and conventions to create a retro, yet modern textile of experimental electronic music.
