In 16th January 2026, the compilation „TWO YEARS OF LOUDsilence” was released by the LOUDsilence label. I took part in this release with a two minute fragment of a larger composition titled „URN”. This fragment is only a small part of a longer work and appears here as a standalone moment. The full version of the track will be at the proper time available in the Releases section on this website.
The piece was created while I was deeply absorbed in Sátántangó film. Its sound is mostly built from slow, repetitive structures, layered guitars inspired by the emotional weight and stillness of the film.
The composition can be loosely associated with the fifth chapter of the film V. Felfeslők – Unraveling, intertwined with the sixth chapter VI. A pók dolga II (Ördögcsecs, Sátántangó) – The Job of the Spider II (The Devil’s Tit, Satan’s Tango). The decision to release this fragment came after the death of Béla Tarr, who passed away on January 6th. Because of this, the EP will be released as a small tribute like an URN fragment taken from a larger form.
I also encourage you to listen to the full compilation curated by LOUDsilence and mastered by The Owl/ripper. It is an extraordinary four hour release featuring experimental sound, noise, dark ambient, deconstructed electronic music and more (bringing together 137 tracks) by artists from across the underground scene.

Below are the tracks from the compilation with the strongest impact during my listening. Fragmentary impressions, each marked by a short personal note (or left unresolved):
▪︎ Distorting a Woodpecker – Palindromic Poems on Sorrow The combination of noise and classical music is wonderful here and deeply cleansing
▪︎ Screwfly – Shovel All the Coal An incredible, pulsating heartbeat rhythm accelerating into tachycardia. The tearing background, like inside a mine, becomes a perfect environment for it
▪︎ K-ORA – There Will Never Be Another A vocal background with melancholic music in the foreground creates a beautiful feeling of nostalgia for something lost forever
▪︎ One Continuous Room – Mystical Train This one is like departure literally. Like a train drifting away into an imagined space
▪︎ Daniel Pico – Isis-Urania Music coded like morse signals, created by an unknown civilisation. This is exactly how it would sound
▪︎ Jabe Ledoux – mysterious: how could Suddenly find yourself in a hut in the Amazon jungle during the day. Animals play, shamans knock out rhythms, rain sets the pulse and drives it forward
▪︎ Witch of Creation – Gods Aghast A haunting witch like scream covered by a wall of vile sludge. I would gladly hear a full version, if one exists
▪︎ Marax – The Hell Found in Grief A great combination of fast burning heat and slow oppression – in one word, the essence of hopelessness
▪︎ Morbid Beauty – Screams From the Blast Furnace Listen to what it is like to be blissfully shredded in the movement of a vortex
▪︎ Airports for Music – Miss You [Part 2] Music of abandoned airports, sounds reflecting in space but never meeting each other. A very high emotional charge
▪︎ Red Scourge – Climax via Electrocution What a gripping diversity. A chase driven by electrifying desire across a dry desert
▪︎ RinniR – […] Curio, like a new species of dark flamenco ambient – yet still something behind that
▪︎ Eraserdrone – Untitled #4 A fading remnant of an unpleasant memory
▪︎ Carlos Suero – The Firstborn Was Dead A scream changes nothing. The first death always hurts the most
▪︎ Bone Crate – Unforgiving And yet?
▪︎ AVNOUX – The Sad Sailor Travelling through folds of spacetime. The voyage is suspended, sinking into time gaps – can you still hear me or is it only myself that I hear¿
▪︎ existent_nonexistent – Splices for Unstable Machinery When you abandon your project and it still begins to live without you
▪︎ Steve Holmes – Merlin’s Garden
▪︎ malamishka – první A dig in a room leading to another world
▪︎ Metazoan Disarray – Hypnotic Regression Some events lead – even unconsciously – into slow decline. These are the ones
▪︎ KR_Seward – Outdoors A foreign planet. Impossible to live on, yet life persists. A gap in an agoraphobic state, a moment along the outer edge of the chronological boundary
▪︎ Eira – Collapsed Echoes of Silenced Forest Distorted sound returns from a lost forest once
▪︎ Grosso Gadgetto – Le 22ème Jour The beginning of action in some new terrain – a new level of space in game?
▪︎ Albert Negredo – Aorta A sudden rupture, like an aortic aneurysm, abrupt and often fatal. Delirious fever offers no relief. A rapid death, similar to this condensed fragment
▪︎ Auntsoot – 悪夢 You ring a ‘bell‘ opening a gate you never wanted to enter – but it may already be too late
▪︎ Hairy Carrie – Human Being [Part 1]
▪︎ Flesh Control – “Really” Mechanical control of organs. Desired or not. Every single biological system can be converted into a digital machine
▪︎ Faustrasol – Plantatograf A meter of cultivated plant life. From the moment conditions become hostile, it starts living more and more on its own volition
▪︎ SUFFER – Exterminated Glitch noise. Many methods of extermination in one track – can ‘SUFFER’ indeed by entering it
▪︎ Polarlicht – It Is Not a Good Justification If You Want to Do Something Because You Have No Other Choice Riding a train through snow covered landscapes. Someone had no other choice but to want to stop this train ..
▪︎ Philippe Neau – Densité The transition from the previous track is interesting. The heavy atmosphere combined with birdsong feels as if the world were about to collapse. Yet lightness remains.
▪︎ SUCCULENT SUCCUBUS – The Mummified Body of John Torrington
▪︎ maylan – throbbinggristlefreestyle The beat of an unknown vehicle crossing an unknown land
▪︎ KommandOOverdose + l’Eternal – Oeuil 2 It unfolds like fragmentary scenes, both observed and internally experienced from multiple, shifting points of view
▪︎ nd dentico – You, You Are Full of Carcinogens You slowly enter to work for the lowest wage and step into a factory full of SubstanceS. You go deaf
▪︎ Ouroborosum – Raserei Gedankenrasen It seems very fast, but in reality it is quite slow, creating a curious effect of sound very slowly spilling outward from the centre
▪︎ Lucas Werenkraut / TRoneitor – Pepirí Shuffle I like the combination of slightly jazzy percussion with electronics
▪︎ The Golden Spiral – THE PIT I recently watched 砂の女. It reminds me of a pit where sand collapses grain by grain all the way down. No one is there – a place full of phantoms of those who were buried
▪︎ TrailOfGhosts – An Uncertain Evening Breeze A lullaby somewhere far from the hottest sun. Deep sleep and a state of hibernation
▪︎ ciclorama uretrale – cave canem SC ‘Beware of the dog.’ The beginning is quite literal, the voice very fixed but words do not have to carry literal meaning. Afterwards words can lose its authority and exist only as sound
▪︎ jim mckenna – electric parasite This track likely has its discreet rhythm. Parasites usually adopt strategies to avoid detection – something invisible yet rhythmic fits this principle well
▪︎ Squadron X – Lachwald An interesting combination of laughter and background sounds. Maybe they do not know it, maybe they are mocking it. But something is coming
▪︎ X PU.M.A. – January 87 Those really were cold times. An attack of a cold wave where the date could be like a broken memory of an existing file data
▪︎ UgUrGkuliktavikt – I Am Being Thought by Rot A moment of emerging from / sinking into a swamp. This is how you are thought of
▪︎ ROYALTY – Crowned and Cherished The king lives, the king is dead… long live the new king? It seems this may never truly end… as if the compilation refuses any finality
