Incredibly happy to announce ๐๐๐ง๐๐ฃ, the first collaborative work by ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐น๐ผ๐ด๐ป๐ถ & ๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ป๐ผ ๐ฃ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐ฎ: six movements unfolding as a layered sound-hymn-dialogue between Stefanoโs abstract guitar work and Martaโs manipulation of tape machines. Conceived alongside ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ต ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถโs imagined space for the ๐ข๐ฝ๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ series (Maple Death Records ร Canicola), the album explores memory not as an archive, but as a living material in constant transformation. Phren sits in conversation with the practices of รliane Radigue, Philip Jeck, Pauline Oliveros and Harry Partch, sharing a fascination with resonance, duration and tuning while following its own path. Like the imagined structure emerging from the Venetian lagoon, ๐๐ฉ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฏ creates a space where sound can gather, reflect and transform: a place of listening where every trace becomes the beginning of something else.
Out October 2nd 2026, listen to 11 minute hymn โ๐ฆ ๐ช๐ญ ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฐ ๐ง๐ช๐ถ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ค๐ฐ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด๐ฐ ๐ต๐ฆ, ๐ฐ๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ, ๐ข๐ค๐ค๐ฐ๐จ๐ญ๐ช๐ฎ๐ชโ and pre-order the LP, Limited Edition Boxset and digital. Link in comments.
