u/0coast

I've been working on this release for 5 years, delaying the project many times. Finally I finished it and I want to celebrate it! 

The record moves between post-punk, shoegaze, experimental, noise, and art rock, with a strong focus on guitar-driven structures shaped by distortion, feedback, and layered textures. Recorded on home equipment including guitar, analogue synthesizers, vocal and FX-pedals. Somewhere hypnotic and melodic, somewhere aggressively dynamic and noisy, I hope everyone will find something for themselves in this release.

Hello there! Hope you’re doing well!

I just wanted to share one of the most experimental and avant-garde pieces I’ve ever created.

It began with the idea of making a track that would immerse the listener in a space reminiscent of the Tesseract from Interstellar (2014), where space and time dissolve into a multidimensional labyrinth. And I think I succeeded — at least partially.

I called it Atrium Omnis.

At the core of its concept lies an informational crossroads within the hyperreality of post-digital culture, where decontextualized radio transmissions, news, discussion fragments, and social media content intersect in one place — endlessly arriving from and departing in all vectorial directions. The listener finds themselves in the middle of unfolding events.

Here is the link to the track:

I’d be glad to hear your feedback! Cheers!
