“Rise, people of Magnesia! Today is the day of initialization!”

The Ultimedium's memory dubbing technology has made mankind immortal. But when the true purpose of the central government is revealed, the rebellious dance of the analog Magnesian tribe echoes with anger...!
What is the secret project "Archive Program"? What does MAGNETIZE mean?
A story of oblivion and liberation in the twilight of Magnesia, a city of magnetic memories…

The Open Reel Ensemble is a music group that uses reel-to-reel tape recorders as musical instruments and has garnered attention for its original performances.
Their 2nd EP, "MAGNETIZE” comes from the "Magnetikpunk" world which is neither cyberpunk nor steampunk.

4 TRACKS (WAV 48kHz / 24bit) + DIGITAL BOOK (ePub) are now on sale!
