With ties to some of the aforementioned drivers, Milan-based Rookie-imprint Realia was given life by an enigmatic collective last year. We Keep Veiled a Solid Void That Grows, a compilation with tracks from various artists, was the label’s first release, which now is followed by Solid Void’s self-titled debut EP. The duo’s four original tracks—that nod at ambient, (weightless) grime, and dub—are supplemented by three remixes. In charge of the reinterpretations of Solid Void’s pieces are Milano Rovina-resident Ramirexx, Gang Of Ducks- and Opal Tapes-affiliated OOBE, as well as Realia-co-chef ~raw, who himself has previously cooked up some music for Berlin’s Portals Editions.
A jolly affair this seems to be! But get convinced yourself, while pre-listening to ~raw’s bittersweet take on Solid Void’s “Yearnings Fade Into Particles” taken from the EP, that is released in March.

The Hyperlucid Gaze hides in waking dreams where the foundations of perception are laid. This corrupted society has fed the eye with tantalizing, soulless imagery and the mind has absorbed it all, seeping into the corroding, disheartened body.
If the eyes would instead turn skywards, to gaze upon the cascade of lights, those sparks of memories where the spirit resides, then a freshly drawn reminiscence of previously perceived dimensions would be revealed.
The tracks in this suite were recorded with a self-built cello-like spring instrument. Subsists A Presence of Midnight sample an unreleased track from Left Side of Lower Jaw. Mixed by Nino Pedone (Shapednoise).

In four parts Francesco G. Gagliardi shapeshifts industrial and traditional forms in an immersive session segueing sloshing rhythms, fragrant Indian vocal samples and coruscating noise in Enathenai to something emulating the effect of being buried alive while under sleep paralysis in Hypnagogia, whereas Bright Star recalls to us an atrophied contraction of its breakcore namesake, the Fennesz remix of Pure & Christoph Fringeli’s Darkstar, and Subsists A Presence of Midnight scratches out eviscerated industrial rhythms before giving it up to a haunted chorale and caustic atmospheric disturbances.

„Spectral Decay” VA is a collection of musical reflections about the paradoxical contemporary state of humankind, whereas its own technological, social, cultural and economical development seems to entrench the possible points of a structura downfall.

~Raw in his piece „Poly Bios” pictures the interference of human structures in the nature. Creating a mosaic from indus- trial and tribal, organic sounds, he tells a mystical story of fear, hope, escape and primeval instincts.
