Ayont by Cloak Of Kings

The ground trembles, releasing distant whispers and faraway songs. The green mosses on the surface lament. Their mournful melody awakens the ancient ones deep below, who pain to tell stories of what came before. Secrets and magic spells traverse the layers – the peat connecting the long dead and the living.

“Ayont” by Cloak of Kings evokes a mysterious atmosphere; where hazy strings, disembodied vocals, and discarded threads of RnB samples are chopped and woven, enveloping the listener in a comforting darkness.

Intertoto’s reshape of “Grading” captures glimpses of warm moonlight, channeling messages of newfound hope through dubbed out, textured layers.

The artworks of this BATCH#3 are a series of sculptures' photos made by Luisa Badino, Pisan artist coming from the vibrant Venetian scene and now based between Venice and The Hague.

"are fragments of ceramic reassembled and separated,
they contain the complexity of a crossroads.
Bivalves houses, vertebrae findings,
a 'knuckle down' of the glass marble.
We are always waiting for the start, but it has already happened.
Anthills transformed into our refuges.
Perhaps some giant looks at marble tracks that turn."

Luisa graduated with a bachelor and a master degree in the Academy of Fine Art, specializing in painting. She took part in Fondazione Malutta in the 2014, and co-founded the beautiful artist-run space Zolforosso, where we first met her.

Cloak of Kings is an electronic music producer and illustrator based in London. Her previous self-released project Flora Quest brought an imaginary videogame to life in the form of an album soundtrack and illustrated comic.

Intertoto is a London-based electronic musician and graphic designer. Combining magical 8 bit samplers and cutting edge modern processing techniques, Intertoto's immersive sonic experiments allow the mind to wander through hazy textures and soundscapes. Intertoto’s debut album “Thermal Shadow” has been evocatively described by Rubadub as “Fathoms-deep aquatic rumblings, slow mo tech & dynamic sound design…”.
