“presque rien” inhabits the edge of audibility, where sound hesitates between presence and disappearance. Drawing from the reductive sensibility of Onkyōkei and lowercase tradition, the work unfolds in a field of near-silence, where listening becomes an act of attention rather than expectation.

Across four sparse pieces, minute events surface and recede: fragile electronic traces, unstable feedback, microscopic vibrations, and the quiet resonance of found objects, revealed through contact microphones. What might otherwise remain hidden, internal frictions, residual hums, the subtle life of materials, is gently brought into the audible.

There is no narrative here, no forward motion, only a suspended time, shaped by proximity, texture, and the shifting threshold of perception. Sounds do not assert themselves; they linger, flicker, dissolve.

In “presque rien”, almost nothing is given, yet within this near-absence, a dense and intimate world emerges, inviting the listener to dwell inside the act of hearing itself.

Antoine M : electronics, feedback, amplified found objects

Mastered by Jack Chuter

Available in digital and limited cassette edition on Eustress tapes :

SUTURE is an exposed circuit, forced beyond repair.
Eight live improvisations built from no-input techniques and unstable modular feedback push sound into failure, where signal mutates into pressure, distortion, and physical stress.
There is no composition here — only escalation.
Frequencies rupture, collapse, and regenerate in real time; piercing highs and collapsing lows grind against silence until the system begins to resist its own operation.
SUTURE documents electronic matter under strain: structures corroding from within, beauty and fragility emerging at the exact point of breakdown.
This is not listening comfort.
This is impact, damage, and survival inside total signal collapse.

'Seijaku' describes tranquillity in the midst of chaos; a stillness and calm even when the world seems mad.
Seijaku is “active calm”.
It's a state of mind where you're present, aware, and focused.
an energized calm, stillness, solitude.

Silence(S)

Please entre the room
Let's ease in
to hear the blooming
Of our space
Your pace
is displaced
Noiseless
Silences are louder
Bolder
Than You
They will exhume
Some parts of You
These things
You never knew
Presences
That will get You

Adé G.

The piece is available from Hard Return as a digital download :

https://hardreturn.bandcamp.com/album/inertia


"inertia is a gentle-yet-restless extended piece for modular synth and no-input mixer, akin to the tosses and turns of fitful sleep. Central to these 27 minutes is a persistent bass drone, throbbing like a shuttle alert system on standby, while an array of more transient textures float across the frame: cyclical crackles and pops, swells of mid-frequency feedback, shimmering high tones. There is a quiet feud between the desire to be still and the desire to move. inertia holds itself in place, resisting the urge to lean into no-input volatility or indulge the modular's boundless explorative possibilities, sinking ever-deeper into a warm, unrippled pool of present tense."
