Pepa Ivanova’s practice begins with attention: to ecosystems in motion, to species that migrate and adapt, to invisible forces that shape the living world, and to the traces human activity leaves behind. Working across ecology, technology, research and social observation, she follows connections that are easy to overlook, allowing scientific […]
There is a particular kind of music that never seeks immediate recognition. It reveals itself gradually, asking for patience instead of urgency and closeness instead of spectacle. Black Water inhabits that quiet territory, where every composition unfolds with remarkable restraint, allowing atmosphere, memory, and subtle emotional shifts to shape an […]
Geological Abstractionism begins where image-making dissolves into process: in a field where time, gravity, and matter take precedence over composition and immediate visual impact. Wallace Woo, a Paris-based contemporary artist and the founder of Stalactite Aesthetics, approaches painting as a form of sedimentation, a slow accumulation of material and meaning […]

Far more than just a band, Mazmere is a living concept, one that continually evolves through shifting collaborations, personal histories, and a distinct approach to sound and storytelling. Originating from unexpected beginnings and shaped by deeply personal creative philosophies, the project has developed a noise-driven identity rooted in emotional intensity […]
There are artists who compose, and then there are those who listen; not to melodies, but to the quiet, unlit spaces between them. Gert Stockmans stands firmly among the latter. Under the monikers Samatha and Mara, his music doesn’t simply unfold; it breathes, expands, contracts, and reveals itself with the […]
