Michael Valentine West is an artist, musician, composer and autodidact who utilises techniques learnt from various musical disciplines such as minimal, ambient, glitch, hip hop, jazz, post-classical and sound design. Michael has released albums and EPs under various guises; Twiggy and the K-Mesons, Suck Susan, Lower Third, Mikimo Sosumi and Anal Teens, et al.
His work has been released to critical acclaim on labels such as Daddy Tank, Bedroom Research, Kaer’Uiks, Ana Ott, Irrational Media Society, uvg212, Section 27 and Future Disorder, to name but a few.
The album “Discrete Objects” was conceived whilst observing geometry in nature and trying to make a connection between it, neuroscience and abstract physics theories. This led to the question; could using a series of ‘discrete objects’ intentionally cause a cognitive change in the listener?

What will we become when our familiar landmarks disappear? When the world stops moving, how many of us will be able to get out of ourselves in order to survive the chaos?
Asceptic Siliceum is the musical project of Redscape, french producer, DJ and podcast creator.
“If only the law of nondecreasing entropy existed, the structure of the universe would disappear and chaos would reign. But on the other hand, if only a constantly self-perfecting and all-powerful intelligence prevailed, the structure of the universe based on homostasis would also be disrupted. This, of course, did not mean that the universe would become better or worse – merely different – contrary to the principle of homeostasis, since a constantly developing intelligence can have but one goal: to change nature. That is why the gist of the Homeostatic Universe consists in maintaining the balance between the increase in entropy and the development of reason. That is why there are no and can be no supercivilizations, since the term supercivilization is used for intelligence developed to such a degree that it transcends the law of nondecreasing entropy on a cosmic scale. And what was happening to us now was nothing other than the first reaction of the Homeostatic Universe to the threat of humanity becoming a supercivilization. The universe was defending itself.”
