Hello everyone,

I presume you know but who knows... Today is Bandcamp Friday, nothing new on my side as I'm doing my best to finish to mix two collaborative albums that should see the light around the end of October if all goes as planned - a bit before going on tour in Asia and Mexico.

BC Friday means that apart from the Paypal fee, all sales go to the artists and labels.
From today until Sunday 23h59 (US time) if you can apply to receive a 10% discount on any of the releases : tenpercent.

For people based in the US, there are ways to deal with the current shipping madness, feel free to send a private message if you wish to place an order.

The next 2 or 3 CD releases, will be the last ones this year, the next ones should be published either in April/May 2026 or after August 2026 due to my extensive tours. Their should be a new compilation around the end of 2026 as well, once more if all goes as planned, we live in a pretty uncertain world.
But I will keep publishing digital releases now and then and will soon make a few announcements.

Thanks again to all of you for the support - all the orders made in the past 7 days will be shipped tomorrow.
If you write reviews, do radio shows, etc., feel free to ask download codes.

It's Bandcamp Friday.

Here are about 15 minutes of drone guitar and post-industrial music recorded in 2025 and 2023.
Es könnte der Anfang sein (It could be the beginning) and Sueños salvajes (Wild dreams) are two tracks apart from what I usually do. Part of a sonic exploration, they could be another beginning indeed.
I like change.

If you wish to play them on the radio, your podcast, your party, write a review or else, feel free to ask for a code.

I'm back in Berlin, I'll play now and then here till early November as well as in Switzerland and Austria before heading to Asia and Latin America again.

And before that, there will be some new physical releases too !

A few weeks ago we released The Dream Border, an avant-folk album by Dora Bleu, Periklis Tsoukalas and I ( https://syrphe.bandcamp.com/album/the-dream-border ) and we still have plenty of older releases from electroacoustic to post industrial, to noise, to dark ambient to electro to free improvisation and more and don't forget our compilations dedicated to Asian and African electronica and electroacoustic music.

I will publish a few more digital and CD releases throughout the year, also on several other labels (more info soon). As some of you know, I've been touring a lot this year (Germany, Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Ukraine), I'm working on several new concerts and talks to happen throughout spring and summer in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and am trying to re-focus on the label now, before I escape the winter again from mid-November (Asia & Latin America).

More news soon ! Thanks for your support !
