Milk magic, cheesy rhythms, preset delirium. Magia Láctea departs from a simple setup: a Solton arranger keyboard, used not for accompaniment but as a central sequencer. Its built-in presets - Latin, Italo, and other cheesy standardised patterns - form the starting point. Two long-form improvisations unfold from this set-up. The Solton acts as both driver and instigator, pushing and entangling the Future Retro Vectra and BARP 2600 into a dense, slightly deranged ecosystem of dairy delirium. 

Side A (magia del queso) moves through Latin-tinted hallucinations: humid, percussive, slightly off-balance.

Side B (formaggio magico) leans into colder, Italo-coded frameworks that resist stability, continuously bending their own grid.

W. Ravenveer (Erwin Van Looveren) is an Antwerp-based artist working with improvised electronic music, electro-acoustic sound, and occasional guitar noise. Alongside sound, his practice extends into improvised drawing and voltage-controlled plotter works. He began performing in the early 2000s as a guitar noise artist under the name Schizoide and with the avant junk-noise group Dirk Freenoise. Over time, his focus shifted toward electronic improvisation using affordable and repurposed devices. Since 2009, modular synthesis has become a central element in his work, functioning as a space for ongoing experimentation. Releases have appeared on Ultra Eczema, Lal Lal Lal, Sound Holes, Radical Documents, No Sides, as well as in numerous self-released micro-editions.
