    Shades of Structure

    ■ Favorite track: “Inner Turbolence”

    ► That’s an improvised dialogue between a double bass and an electric guitar, raw and intensely present. Their interaction feels conversational yet confrontational, as if two distinct voices were negotiating space in real time. There is no fixed structure, only intuition and risk, allowing tension and release to emerge organically. The result is challenging but compelling, a vivid exploration of texture, gesture, and spontaneous form that rewards attentive listening with moments of stark, unpredictable awareness.

    Eleonora Kampe

    answering some questions. We have already observed her vocal / experimental / avant-garde / minimalist works here and here.
    this dialogue follows the first observation.

    [1. IDEA]

    ■ The A. O.: The track from “Breath. Play.” that we prefer is “Inner Peace Collapse Straight Ahead”. Can you tell us how it came to light?

    ► Eleonora Kampe: This track was an independent mover in the plot. It presented itself as a result of mistakes in the mix that I didn’t undo. I liked how it sounded both threatening and gentle – it became an outro to the album, reminding me of the passing nature of all things.

    Fairly Used

    ○ May 2025 | Label: Falt / epileptic media

    ■ Genres: Experimental / Avant-garde / Electronic / Concrete
    ■ Rating: 8.0/10
    ■ Favorite track: “Fairly Used III“

    ► This is a clear example of a combination of sounds that goes beyond their simple sum. In other words, sonic interactions *really* generate emergent properties in this case. This approach leads you to a visceral experience—haunting, immersive, and unnervingly intimate—pulling your head into a spectral world shaped by decay.

    ■ Favorite track: “Inner Peace Collapse Straight Ahead“

    ► That’s something interesting and rare. In a world that desensitizes us every day, where our tolerance threshold is getting higher and higher, this crowd of voices makes us feel like a fish tipping over on a boat dock. It distresses us in this anesthetized time.
