Organic, ethereal, and mind altering; full sensory immersion music projects where the expressive power lies in the ability to create surreal atmospheres. batenim netlabel music have the power to immerse listeners in a surreal atmosphere, one that has the power to separate the mind from the body. Research and inspiration for the indefinite and infinite sound 'extended and expanded' lost in the vastness of the spaces to become intense and deep as soundscape music is or labeled as articulated by harmonic noise and environmental sounds (Field Recording); experimental ambient for musicians/non-musicians.

Pre-listening Track

Nicolas Tourney is a french experimental musician and sound designer, also owner of the label Snow in Water Records. With Ram, he offers us an electronic work focused on perception and act of listening, with the use of various sound devices and drones. Ram is a work in-progress with long-sustained tones. Ram submit to the listener some perceptual experience: there would be a "sound" as object of perception and source of this same perception. This held sound that we dress by calling it a soundscape, spacing exploration from the gesture. Look at what draws us to a sound, how listening gets caught up in it, and how it draws our attention to an experience. Ram sounds like a suspense that opens onto interiority. In this silence, the listener finds himself contemplating the act of listening, as if it is the constant noise of natural electricity.
