Axolotl lullabies
Axolotl Lullabies drifts through the uncanny: Felix Kubin braids nocturnal synth miniatures, tape apparitions, and lullaby forms that refuse to settle. Melodies flicker like phosphorescence, rhythms breathe and retract, and silence becomes a soft voltage. A cradle for insomniacs and dream mechanics alike, it hums at the border where comfort and curiosity blur.

Caracol
Brazilian underground music in the 1980s produced fascinating and mysterious records, where organic and regional percussion finally gained electronic and synthetic nuances. Songs were processed electronically and acted in harmony with drumming and dissonant guitar interventions. This was a too bold recipe to be understood in Brazil at that time, dominated by pop music and the first signs of lambada fever and country music.
Despite being an ideal time for independent production, the music contain…
