Curated by Hannah Gabler
In Ether we seek the doubling of shadows, In Ether we seek passage in winter and night, In Ether the mirroir is secret, In ether dreamtime is rational, In ether the world turns forever backwards.
Susu Laroche
Susu Laroche’s practice draws on elements of ambient, noise, industrial, and electronic music. Her chants, echoing ancient rituals, stir a sense of primal emotion, transforming her lucid hums into something both mournful and otherworldly. Influenced by her middle eastern heritage and research into ancient civilization and religious practice, her sound blends ancient mysticism with modern experimentation.
Sanctuary Of Praise
Sanctuary Of Praise taps into a heavier side of experimental sounds. Their music blends drone-laden sounds with elements of apocalyptic folk, avant-garde noise, and psychedelic rock. With hypnotic rhythms and haunting vocals, their performances embrace the raw energy and unfiltered and spontaneous spirit of underground gigs from decades past. Their music defies traditional song structures, crafting a sonic journey through a dream—or perhaps a nightmare, inviting listeners to lose themselves in a meditative yet fateful experience.
Ãssia Ghendir
Ãssia Ghendir is a somatic musician and sound artist whose work emphasises the connection between sound, movement, and the body. Their compositions often draw from natural sounds and vocal improvisation, inviting listeners to explore the boundaries of their own bodies and the sonic landscape around them.
Ether is the exploding steel star, the spit in your silver shoe, the leafs that fall with unstoppable force, ether is nothing, ether is your hourglass smashed and chucked in times eternal muddy ditch, ether is this sacred dirt, ether is will, Will is chaotic force, ether is the thief of infinite springs, Ether is the cardinal points inwards and backwards, ether is 500 nights of unyielding untruth. ether is the final rose, Ether is a crescendo of heathen horns split into seven, ether is a secret mirror, ether is a silver sun, ether is an invisible key, ether is your icon of chance, The etherist will put themselves in service of the ether, a destiny without illusions, the destiny of illusion, The etherist despises success, the etherist believes dreamtime is rational, the etherist stomps on the holy spark, the etherist binds vacant emblems to the hearts magnetic point, the etherist wants pagan rome, the etherist lives in a city where the drains covers have become more interesting that the people who walk over them, the etherist casts great ceremony, the etherist beats time to a pulp and burns its stupid remains, the etherist breathes inglish fire, the etherist holds the strange lantern of light reversal, the etherist does not treat fate like a fool, the etherist knows their place in ethers field, for tomorrow they are ether.the etherist is a gleaner of shards and shrouds, the etherist spits on coins , god is the etherist most ancient and formidable enemy for it is he who sold our souls to pound land. the etherist treads the stoney labyrinth the etherist smashes the clock, the etherist has the blue dog upon their back, the etherist is a permanent primitive, the etherist declares war on war, the atoms in the dustbin and sophisticated expensive smiles. The etherist declares war on those smug vendors of mouldy potatoes who in their supreme wealth of foolishness declare themselves artists. the etherist is forever hunting infinite unknown desire.
