*200 copies limited edition*  Following the acclaimed previous album "Transcend", which seamlessly traversed experimental electronics and obscure Techno-infused structures, Frederic Arbour returns with his most daring and transformative work to date. "Leavings" marks a decisive departure from established forms. Where its predecessor gradually evolved through recognisable rhythmic frameworks and narrative progression, this new album ventures into increasingly abstract territories, dissolving conventional structures in favor of fluid movement, instinctive composition, and perpetual transformation.

Across nine expansive pieces, Arbour explores the threshold between rhythm and abstraction. Pulses emerge only to fragment. Patterns suggest direction before evaporating into vast textural environments. The result is a body of work that embraces ambiguity, inviting listeners into a space where certainty is abandoned and exploration becomes the guiding principle. The album’s title carries multiple resonances. Leavings suggests remnants, traces, and fragments left behind after a process of transformation. It evokes both departure and residue, the echoes of former identities, structures, and creative languages that persist even as new forms emerge. Throughout the album, sounds appear as artifacts in motion, suspended between memory and reinvention.

Textures drift between shadow and illumination, density and emptiness. Moments of fragile beauty emerge from complex layers of sound, only to recede again into abstraction. A quiet tension permeates the work, the sensation of crossing invisible thresholds while navigating territories that resist fixed definition. Neither a continuation nor a rejection of previous works, Leavings stands as a document of transition. It captures the fertile space between dissolution and creation, where familiar forms are relinquished and unforeseen possibilities begin to take shape.

With Leavings, Purgate enters a new phase of artistic evolution, crafting an immersive and deeply evocative work that transcends genre boundaries while remaining rooted in the project’s enduring fascination with atmosphere, depth, and transformation. A compelling journey through shifting sonic architectures, Leavings reveals Frederic Arbour at his most adventurous and uncompromising, embracing uncertainty not as an obstacle, but as a path toward discovery.
