Kepla debuts on Liverpool label Sink with new compilation “Outside Time”. Following recent collaborations with Steven Warwick (PAN) and Dialect (RVNG Intl), “Outside Time” brings productions and experiments spanning ten years together for the first time.

Early forays draw inspiration from musique concrete, dub and industrial, using granular synthesis resampling from drum packs, repitched melodies and phone recordings, resulting in a collection of tracks both lo-fi and highly detailed. ‘Part Exhumed’ closes the first half, using algorithmic composer Dane Law’s Puredata patch, released by digital collective Quantum Natives. Four full length albums followed between 2016 and 2019, released on Entr’acte, PTP, and Alien Jams with his debut solo release Within The Gaze, A Shadhavar in 2019.

From 2020 Kepla shifts away from purely digital production and into electroacoustic composition and improvisation. ‘The Crown Weaver’ collects analogue feedback, solo cello recordings and ASMR sounds of pencil sketching, while unused recordings of 2023’s album In Furnace (Chinabot) appear in the 21-minute long meditation ‘Seaweed Dreams.’ The final track ‘Dawn Observer What Is Left,’ released previously by Sink, is a collaboration with Dialect of melodic and field recording fragments, with rain and wind gently billowing under piano, guitar and cello.
