A Closer Look: Unsound 2023
“Demand the sound of paper! Echoes of our REAM-IFY binary! Dada laughter in every perforation, Nietzschean yodel in every typewritten stroke. Dance, my friends, dance within nonsense stanzas and absurdist sonnets. REAM-IFY, mummify the rational!”

Ulrich Krieger ~ Aphotic II – Abyssal
If one were to imagine a musical approximation of the ocean’s aphotic depths – the zones beyond the reach of sunlight and photosynthesis, where fish are luminescent – the first instruments that come to mind might not be saxophone, accordion,
