When synchronicity or hyperstition hit, they feel like a message from beyond. They break with the illusion of time. Lacking a measurable causal connection, events occur in a manner that seems to be triggered by a body of intentions traveling backwards. Past, present and future collapse and the one, infinite cosmic moment of immanence is unveiled. It’s an inscrutable phenomenon that reveals the limits of the human mind to comprehend the universe, but also its potential to recontextualize perception and events to extract meaning, be it personal or collective.

Interastral Communications is one such attempt. An incursion into temporal loops, past reflection and future shaping, made through music based on repetition and difference. Toronto-based producer Ilyse Krivel constructed this new chapter in her work as Xicada by balancing intricate, heavy beats and soaring drones, combining robotic insistence with soulful psychedelia. The album is her debut release on Sounds Of Paimon and, in her intentions it should function as a sanctuary within the technosphere. At times, it feels like accelerating to lightspeed, to leave this plane of reality in search of a healing force.

At its core lays a reflection on personal struggle of the creative and existential kind, and it’s conveyed through Krivel’s own voice, as well as those of guests Eyin Sof and Y. by @xicada_

after calling out to the waning crescent moon in my set saturday night, she rose above the horizon in firey orange, bigger than i’d ever seen her before. i felt shock and almost fear in her magnanimous presence as if it was finally time that she had chosen to come to earth. by @xicada_

$Through Fields of Light new track out today on @paimon_paimonia VA first release of this new label by @sense.fracture with more to come ;) “This is The Description Of A New World: a hand that reaches over the fence, inviting you in. A window over the realm of potentiality that dance music never ceases to exhibit. It inaugurates Sounds Of Paimon, a label intended to function as an outlet for experimentation and irregularity within the realms of dance music. It is not the showcase of one sound or one scene, rather of a common thread of realness that unites electronic music producers from different parts of the world. Its intended goal is to bring the vision to the light, to grant exposures to musicians that do not intend to be confined.” link in bio by @xicada_$
