About: Alien worlds, dystopian/utopian deep futures, otherworldly forces, ancient Gods, malevolent AIs, these are the auditory evocations woven by Annelid: an experimental audio/visual project employing modular synthesizers and generative/algorithmic techniques to weave dark ambient soundscapes and visions heavily inspired by science fiction and horror themes. "Annelid" as a moniker is inspired by the cult-classic sci-fi horror rpg System Shock 2, as a nod to one of the most quintessential hive-mind organisms in fiction. Relax, close your eyes, and dissolve into the void. Links: https://annelidvisions.bandcamp.com/ https://soundcloud.com/annelidvisions https://www.instagram.com/annelid_visions/

About: Wild Wild Mike is a Los Angeles-based electronic musician whose works explore the homemade spirituality of New Age Music and its edges and overlaps with Ambient, Noise, and Pop Music. Using generative sequencing and a heavy use of resampling layered with aggressively processed vocals, his music touches on the alienation, play, joy, and sorrow reverberating beneath the perpetual sunset. He is a founding member of the kosmische band ON. Links https://wildwildmike.bandcamp.com/releases

About: C.K. Sample aka cksample is a Dallas-based electronic music producer and founding member of the soon to be announced [REDACTED] Collective: music producers using a variety of electronic musical instruments to explore new territories of sound design, performing live shows in person and streaming online, and playing at upcoming festivals near you with new techno drops regularly. The vast majority of his techno is at 133bpm and in a blues scale, because he's a recovering guitarist who gave up playing guitar solos with bands and decided to become his own band through the very expensive magic of eurorack synthesizers. He plays on 670HP of gear that he refers to as "The Mothership" and his Akai Force. Audience members have described his music as "good," as "grunge groovy techno," "jazzy techno," and as "melodic spacey galactica techno." C.K. streams multiple times a week to both Earth Modular Society and Blast Radio and reposts his performances regularly to his YouTube and Bandcamp "Streams" ever-growing album. This performance was recorded live, then lightly mastered and prepared for streaming to your ears. Listen either cranked with large stereo speakers or with headphones.
