*50 copies limited edition* Arriving via Discreet Archive, Unlearning noise deepens Eventless Plot’s pursuit of expanded sonic vocabularies. The trio’s process, grounded in improvisation and digital analog hybridization, unfolds across two immersive compositions. “Part 1” and “Part 2” trace the transformation of everyday background sounds, starting from recorded motifs—machinery, distant conversations, shifting surfaces—and weaving them together through live electronics, subtle acoustic interventions, and Max/MSP programming.
Echoing themes of sonic ecology, the album is less about strict narrative than about space, resonance, and the interaction of acoustic events. Eventless Plot’s arrangements foreground the instability of “noise,” granting room for silence and the gradual emergence of melodic fragments. These progressions reflect a philosophy of musical unlearning; rather than imposing clear structural signposts, the trio navigates timbral microclimates and variable intensities, favoring texture and process over conventional form.
The recordings, made in early 2025 and mastered by Spyros Emmanouilidis, carry the subtle imprint of live space: environmental sounds are captured not as disturbances to be sanitized, but as material objects worthy of careful placement. This approach marks Unlearning noise as both an ambient meditation and an experiment in phenomenological listening. The album’s quiet valences and liminal sounds are further shaped by Discreet Archive’s curatorial ethos—a label devoted to the exploration of quietness, materiality, and the politics of sound in a noisy world.
Released at a moment when experimental music increasingly privileges process over product, Unlearning noise invites listeners to slow down, reconsider the value of sonic residue, and linger in the ambiguities of “ambient noise” as musical material. It’s a reflective work, at once humble and defiant, expanding Eventless Plot’s reputation for cross-genre experimentation and careful sound design.Unlearning noise by Eventless Plot is an experimental release arriving October 17, 2025, on Discreet Archive. The Thessaloniki-based trio (Vasilis Liolios, Aris Giatas, Yiannis Tsirikoglou) continue their exploration of hybrid sound, blending analog instruments, field recordings, and electronic processes. The album is structured in two extended parts, each reflecting the group's dedication to sonic materiality, spatial design, and the poetics of quietness. Recorded and mastered in early 2025, Unlearning noise aims to reshape the listener's relationship with background sound, molding ambient textures and noise objects into a meditative, open narrative.
