The forthcoming album serves as a testament to the multifaceted state of AZE—an abstract domain evoking diverse responses and states of mindfulness. AZE mirrors the intimate narrative and collection of experiences of living between Tallinn, Riga, and Helsinki, where the album was recorded. Sonically, it amplifies the smallest details through granular synthesis and code algorithms, or gets lost in feedback networks of muddler synthesisers and the crackles of vinyl samples. Traversing between improvisation and fixed media, AZE embraces duality and uncertainty through its blend of synthetic and analog origins.
AZE will see its release party hosted by Algomystica in Panke Culture, Berlin Wedding, in line up with: Giulia Rae, Elif Gülin Soğuksu, Init.play (eNµ and Justin) and Kinked.
