Sshe Retina Stimulants
The SSHE acronym stands for Super Sound High Energy which, when linked to RETINA STIMULANTS is intended to conjure a strong citation of sensorial synesthesia, with hyper intense acoustic frequencies inducing overwhelming visions.---In fact, it all goes down into the subliminal arena, where no real distinction exists among neural signals and cognitive dynamics, where pulses and ideas become a fluid stage for matter to be born out of energy.

Unburdened Underpass
Tip! “… extreme existentialism, an act of pure and unadulterated audio commentaries about old age, the transformation of libido and the irreversible path to death … naked and raw as spilled guts, while sophisticated as a post-sociology tome, an exercise in psychology dissection… deadly / funnily serious and fully unpredictable… voices explodes like dying worms and howling monsters, noises like falling stars and sudden earthquakes, frequencies like injected poisons and rumbling cascades… words in…

Recorded, manipulated and assembled through a three-year p…
Jenseit Der Anerkennung

An isolationist exercise in sonic psycho-geography, the album takes a series of Berlin-inspired images as…

Remote Aktion
Two years after releasing SRS' 'Heaven 39' 2LP, Diophantine Discs is happy to release a record of new recordings by Sshe Retina Stimulants! Following in a vein similar to his other recent recordings this year, we are presented with four tracks of very abstract and experimental noise music. Using a variety of treated and processed instruments and electronics, this is surely one of the most complex, intense, and dynamic works by SRS. Sshe Retina Stimulants, the project of P.NG5361.B (Paolo Bandera…

Totally dense bubbles inflate and burst like org…
