*70 copies limited edition* Flung is pleased to present Raphaël Languillat’s Asteroid*, which renders celestial debris and deep-space signals as volatile synthesiser improvisations, released on limited edition cassette, exclusively on Bandcamp. Asteroid* arrives as four transmissions extracted from a self-modulating Korg MS-20 — a closed-circuit system driven by feedback and fracture. What surfaces are compositions as pressure events: ruptured drones, scorched frequencies, and signal debris spilling across the stereo field. 

Recorded in 2021 during a period of enforced isolation and left dormant until now, these pieces carry the residue of that suspended time — hermetic, airless, and unstable. Languillat approaches the synthesiser as both instrument and environment, allowing it to expand and collapse in on itself, generating dense strata of interference poised between control and disintegration.

There’s a spatial logic at play — not ambient, but orbital. Tones drift and collide like matter caught in gravitational flux, punctuated by sudden flares of distortion and rich spectral turbulence. The reference points feel extra-terrestrial: telemetry gone rogue, deep-space scans corrupted in a vacuum, the silence between bursts of light. Across both sides, Asteroid* maps a kind of sonic extremity — minimal in source, maximal in impact. Harsh and abstract, yet physically immediate. A potentially hazardous object: A near-Earth asteroid at risk of collision with the world.
