Through emotive ambient textures, granular synths, and field recordings, Rousay reimagines the Slovak animated fairy tale with a brand-new score. The Bloody Lady stands as a stunning masterpiece of Slovak animation. This album features the reimagined score Rousay wrote for Viktor Kubal's 1980 eponymous animated film. Kubal (1923-1997), a pioneering Slovak animator, is considered one of the most influential animation filmmakers of the 20th century. Known as a singular artist who challenges conventions in experimental and ambient music forms, Rousay crafted the score in her home studio immediately after moving to LA over the course of 2023. The inaugural performance, a screening of the film accompanied by Rousay performing the score live, took place at Videodroom/Film Fest Gent 2023 in Ghent, Belgium. The project has since been developed into an 11-track album with alternating themes that evoke the film's atmosphere while standing on its own as a distinct sonic work. The Bloody Lady is released via VIERNULVIER Records, the label known for its audiovisual collaborations with artists like Miaux, Hieroglyphic Being, and Mattias De Craene. The record comes with an extensive booklet including liner notes.

Miaux presents new LP Never Coming Back on Viernulvier Records. The Belgian composer's LP is inspired by the new film score she wrote for 1962 cult film Carnival Of Souls. Directed by American filmmaker Herk Harvey, this enigmatic ghost film influenced contemporary directors like David Lynch, George A. Romero, and Lucrecia Martel. Miaux meticulously crafted the score in her home studio, relying solely on her two hands and a single synthesizer during the spring and summer of 2022. The inaugural performance of this renewed score with film unfolded at Videodroom/Film Fest Gent 2022 in Ghent, Belgium. The compositions were subsequently unraveled, rewritten into full-fledged songs, and assembled into a new record entitled Never Coming Back, bearing Miaux's unmistakable signature.

Viernulvier Records presents its new LP release Quadric Surfaces by iconic electronic producer Hieroglyphic Being aka Jamal R Moss. It collects the soundtracks Moss wrote for Parellel Spheres and Figures in Mynd, two parts of an abstract animation film by visual artist Gabriela González Rondon. The film premiered in October 2023 during Videodroom/Film Festival Ghent. In her surreal and trippy gem of analog filmmaking Gonzales draws up whole universes of movement and color that seem to share a spiritual space with likeminded sci-fi writers such as Ursula K Le Guin or filmmaker John Whitney. The soundtrack for this dreamy experiment was provided by kindred soul and psychonaut Hieroglyphic Being. Through off-world frequencies and raw primal sounds, Quadric Surfaces presents a collection of exploratory left-field dance music. For over 20 years Moss has been an one-off musical explorer that takes inspiration from house, industrial, Kraut, avant-jazz and noise to make his spectacularly unique take on radical and psychedelic (dance) music. Artwork by Gabriela González.

Drummer-producer Nah returns with new album Totally Recalled. Totally Recalled is a ceremonial sonic rumination on the beautiful absurdity of modern life and its primitive impulses. Across ten tracks of relentlessly pulsing yet highly reflective works, Totally Recalled continues Nah's never-ending exploration of the balance between acoustic and synthetic percussion and the noisy overlapping genre intersections they pass through. It pulls upon years of Nah's experiences in dark clubs and grimy basements across the globe to present the listener with an audio snapshot of the genre-less alternate reality that Nah continues to traverse. Totally Recalled is a listening experience that serves well at home, submerged in headphones, but ultimately meant to be witnessed live in all its decibel meter breaking glory. To enhance Totally Recalled on a visual level, Nah has developed a new live AV show of the same title.
