about

Here, the sounds of solar noise, tape flutter, randomness, and will engage in an endless dialogue — arguing, merging, repelling — giving birth to something beyond. It’s a superplus embedded in infinity, where every frequency challenges silence, and every click of the tape is proof of presence.

Vlad and Vasily, hiding behind the aliases Fitz Ellarald and P-SH, weave a web where aesthetics crack under the pressure of transformer hum, and acoustics dissolve into an electromagnetic haze. Their S A D is not a project but a superposition of acoustic discourses: magnetic tapes become the philosopher's stone, turning random recordings into sonic alchemical substances. The mix distorts the speed of light, and the trembling of the tape, like a quantum phenomenon, generates a sound impossible to reproduce — only to record, leaving a trace on the tape as a mark on the skin of time.

Life is finite, like the tracks of past achievements, and the successor to Super Sounds II (2017) — Super Sounds — is an artifact torn from the vortex of chance, where tapes intertwine again into DNA, synthesizing something for which there are no names in theory. Now wlffflw records releases the other-in-between — not a continuation, but a palimpsest, its layers overlapping like geological epochs. Crackle, distortion, overlays mutate into reconstructive drift, connecting the archaic essence of cassettes with digital immortality, and it can only be lured and recorded once — forcing sound waves to collapse into audio hieroglyphs.

The music of Super Sounds does not require navigation — it is both map and compass. The duo S A D’s technique of splicing tapes is merely a ritual masking the main event, a striking natural embodiment where every dissonance is a language, and every break in the hum is punctuation in an infinite text. Super Sounds conceals the authors’ astonishment at life itself (what? where? when?), yet exists without compromising perception, just as the cosmos exists without an observer, folding back into a box of temporal loops. Vlad and Vasily launch them, but they always return, like a boomerang, bringing interference from the future. Randomness in their creation becomes the assistant to an illusionist, it slips fragments of other lives, the om of forgotten voices, the rustle of unborn consciousnesses settled in the year 2277 into the mix.
