[FAM133] Tkeshi by RTNH

Fallen Metropolis is proud to present the return of our dear friend from Tbilisi, Georgia: Rati Baramadze aka RTNH

"Tkeshi" marks RTNH’s return after a year since last release. This ten-track LP, inspired by RTNH’s performance at the TKESHI Festival, brings hypnotic rhythms together with experimental sound design, drawing on the energy of the forest.

The album begins with “Snow Leaf,” an ambient piece that sets a calm tone, allowing space for detailed textures and evolving layers. Tracks like “River Swell” and “Whispering Shadows” push further into experimental ambient territory. These tracks focus on exploring sound itself, building tension and depth that draws listeners into a deeper experience. The sounds of the forest are rethought and abstracted, woven into the music in subtle, non-literal ways, giving the album an organic yet futuristic feel.

With “Transition State,” the album shifts, introducing hypnotic techno alongside experimental electronic textures. Tracks “Pulse of the Forest” and “Grasshopper” dive fully into hypnotic techno, driven by deep, repetitive rhythms and steady basslines, inviting the listener into a rhythmic trance.

“Dancing Frogs” shifts toward breakbeat and jungle rhythms, with complex patterns that keep the momentum moving forward, while “Humans Spotted” brings back the hypnotic techno energy, maintaining a steady, engrossing flow. As the album winds down, “Fading Light” returns to experimental ambient, creating a contrast to the earlier intensity, and the final track, “Outro” closes the journey with experimental electronic textures that leave a lasting impression of RTNH’s creative depth.

Throughout the album, RTNH demonstrates a precise and detailed approach to sound design, using tones, textures, and rhythms to build a journey that shifts between introspective moments and powerful energy.
