Ended Wednesday and welcomed Thursday after a swim with The Unreal Realm by Michel Banabila, released on Tapu Records in 2024.

"This album gathers several of Dutch composer Michel Banabila’s recent choreography scores and collaborations. The title track, an ominous piano crawl, serves as a good intro which doesn’t give away what’s yet to come, which can be quite surprising. “Lineage”, featuring kamancheh (an Iranian bowed string instrument) by Salar Asid, comes from the score for Yin Yue’s choreography Somewhere, and it begins as an elegant neo-classical piece before changing directions and becoming submerged under rushing waves of electronics, ending up a sort of aquatic post-industrial wash..."
