Positions
Positions is a compact, spontaneous excursion into the musical description of spatial and emotional states, created during the pandemic as a bridge between Kipuka and the releases that followed.

Three positions in sound
Positions began as a spontaneous idea: a short musical excursion devoted to describing different positions, states and points of view. Its three tracks approach that theme through concise electronic, experimental and ambient forms.
Created during the coronavirus pandemic, the EP occupies a transitional place in the catalogue. It links the isolated sound world of Kipuka with the directions explored on the releases that followed, preserving the immediacy of an idea developed without the scale of a full album.
There are no lyrics and therefore no standalone text analysis. Mantra-like vocals appear only as a sonic element, supporting rhythm, atmosphere and repetition without forming a narrative.
