Neil Ruttenberg is a singular figure whose career operates at the intersection of mainstream cinema and the avant-garde. A disciple of Harlan Ellison, his writing has served legends such as Roger Corman and Stan Lee, with contributions to the original screenplays for Spider-Man and Ant-Man. Yet, his most personal work remains Mask of Sarnath (1980),...
Damaged Clock has found its strongest European ally in the Valencia-based label Soil Records. After releasing two albums on this platform, the Colombian producer returns with Repairing the Clock, his most ambitious work to date. This introspective album tells his story sonically across 105 tracks designed from different soundscapes. We spoke with Damaged Clock himself...

In the scene of experimental electronics and sound art, more synergies are often created between different artistic disciplines than in other musical genres. We know the visual artist Sergi Palau for his various works and collaborations with musicians and producers such as Murcof, as well as his numerous and extensive proposals linked to his creative...
