  1. demonstration_01: anomalous

    Sam Hoyek’s six-track debut EP shapes improvised recordings into unstable spatial worlds of piano, strings, distortion, breakbeats, and digital interference.

  2. demonstration_01_ep_text

    The text accompanying demonstration_01: anomalous follows the record through instability, memory, discipline, self-expression, and the undoing of the self.

  3. 01 — init

    The opening track of demonstration_01: anomalous moves from reverberant piano and surging strings into corrupted static, distortion, and uncertainty.

  4. 02 — 2ras

    A track from demonstration_01: anomalous built from fuzz chords, guitar, voices, drones, and piano moving through an intrusive inner monologue.

  5. 03 — clk_bmm!

    A track from demonstration_01: anomalous in which sequenced piano and processed violin snowball from gentle call-and-response into clicks, booms, and fracture.

  6. 04 — guitarlude

    A compact surge of rolling guitar distortion from demonstration_01: anomalous, positioned between clk_bmm! and beach_day.

  7. 05 — beach_day

    A track from demonstration_01: anomalous that turns comfort oppressive through silvery sweeps, strings, distorted synthesizers, massive drums, and guitar.

  8. 06 — postcore

    The closing track of demonstration_01: anomalous drives piano, distortion, corrupted electronics, violin, guitar, and breakbeats toward ecstatic decentralization.
