• 'Let it unfollow its own ground within this movement of independence' Isidore Isou.  
     In a world ruled by machines, employees consume their pseudo-time. Space becomes perceptible through pain, while the urban spatial extent is fragmented in areas such as a commercial centre, an industrial region, a campus or recreation areas. All these uses follow a centrally dictated urban plan. Through the exploitation of residents' behaviour there are possible economic and disciplinary profits within these common acceptable boundaries. The degree of predictability of human behaviour is related to the effectiveness of the repressive marketing and religious mechanisms. Marchosias revisited. The defeat is imminent even if you will invert the use. The invention of new geographies should be painstakingly articulated. Corpora Lente Augescent Cito Extinguuntur!

    BroodingSideOfMadness is interested in phonemes, graph theory, realism and any dystopian ambience. He prefers to use acoustic material than synthetic and he always seeks for the generative element in his work. His diverse work comprises of two different perspectives: one with lyricism and melody and the other one with noise, but sometimes he merges those two. He scores for installations and short films - sometimes he creates his own.

    melophobia comes from Greece. He likes to experiment with long noise and drone sounds intermingled with field recordings and acoustic sounds. melophobia is heavily influenced by contemporary artists such as merzbow and early ’90s shoegaze scene. He is active with his ultra-limited releases of his 3"/5" CDr label ‘illicit-tapes’. He cherishes the piles of his priceless jap noise C-xx tapes and obscure vinyls.
