Biopoiesis by Carlo Celuque

Biopoiesis is a suspension of the world and, at the same time, a gesture of creation. The album draws from Husserlian epoché — suspending the habitual gaze on things — to open a space where sound becomes essential experience, almost a phenomenology of listening.
Originally, “biopoiesis” evokes the idea of life emerging and organizing itself from inert matter, as if the universe itself once learned to breathe. By taking this concept as its title, the album suggests an inner birth: from stillness to expanded consciousness, from dispersion to form, as if each track were a small laboratory of self-creation.
Through drones and ambient textures that unfold slowly, the compositions build spaces that breathe, transform, and self-organize like constantly metamorphosing organisms. The track “Laniakea,” named after the supercluster of galaxies that includes the Milky Way, opens a cosmic dimension to this experience, reminding us that every intimate act of perception is entangled in an incomparably larger scale.
Instead of recognizable melodies, tonal progressions, or marked rhythms, Biopoiesis also embraces suspension in its musical form. The tracks avoid any structure that captures the ear with harmonic expectations or steady pulses, creating room for disarmed, less narrative, and more contemplative listening.
This refusal of tonal and metric centers reinforces the epoché gesture: by offering no themes, choruses, or beats to organize time, the album invites the listener to abandon habitual references and stay in the texture of the moment. The sound becomes an open field where small variations in timbre, density, and space gain a nearly microscopic relief.

Thus, the movement of sonic “biopoiesis” happens not by constructing musical phrases but by the slow mutation of layers, as if the acoustic matter itself were in the process of formation. The absence of defined melody and rhythm is not emptiness but fertile soil where each ear can let its own internal forms emerge, resonating with the intimate and cosmic dimension suggested by tracks like “Laniakea.”
Biopoiesis is born as a soundtrack for introspection, focus, and meditation, but also as an invitation to cosmic consciousness: from the microscopic to the interstellar, from the cell to the galaxy. Listening to the album is to accompany the movement of consciousness itself forming, moment by moment, as if each sound were a new constellation emerging in the inner landscape.
