Field recordings woven with electronic music, creating emotive soundscapes that feel like entries of a personal journal.

A journal of Dominykas Niaura, who is drawn to the core of human life philosophy, which is reflected in this project under his actual name.

The project was started after leaving hometown, without any instruments or equipment, which prompted doing field recordings with the phone in hand and scavenging for samples.

A bit like chaos and order – some of his work feels like a carefully curated pile of broken and taped bits, while on the other end it’s a beat driven groove of bass and structure.

Therefore the signature of his sound naturally developed towards a recreation of a sonic memory, rather than experimental ideas, although not shy of experiments itself, blending influences of lo-fi, industrial, shoegaze, ambient and dub, merging into a genre of his own.

The most dominant being lo-fi, although perceived not as low-fidelity production, that’s usually done intentionally, but rather it’s presented as inherent imperfections from human error in charge of the composition. It’s the truth.

Unlike his other projects, such as Suicideoscope, Nneura, or his role in the band Transactions, this project is dedicated to explore this reality through his personal bias, rather than an alter-ego, hence the radically different approach to certain ideas, being open about the omnipresent fragility and honesty, even when it’s more comfortable to stay anonymous.

This project is told by the creator of those alter-egos, making it deeply engaging and easy to grasp, yet sometimes hard to bear since it’s presented raw.
