about

“The sky tonight has nothing to do with the sky we’ve been seeing since we got here. Either the stars are moving or we are. This is another universe, son. I’ve never seen any of those constellations. We are under unknown skies.”
From Michael Bernanos’s story The Other Side of the Mountain (1963).

"We Can Now Sleep" sees Joshua Stefane balancing a complex entanglement of modular synths and processed tapes, arranging a switchboard of destroyed voices and alien sounds with solid beams of tonal melody. The eight pieces wander various wastelands, quietly kicking at fossilized remnants of decayed cities. Throughout, there's a grasp for memories that are out of reach, impressions that are now mostly dust or shed data. It's unclear if the echoes of unfamiliar days are even real or just errant crackles rushing by in the emptiness, but the layers of obscured fragments and dark sonics blur into a compelling whole, zoning in from a place of deep isolation somewhere after time.

-Fred Thomas

PRESS:

Tiny Mix Tapes
"We Can Sleep Now (Unifactor) is his latest masterpiece, and if the title is any indication, you’re in for the tranquil ride of your life. Channeling a spirit of isolation, Stefane wrangles synths and tape samples, layering them until they’re like a blanket of dark matter enveloping perception. But like a warm, snuggly blanket of dark matter that you can curl in beside a fireplace while the winter wind howls outside and frigid waves swirl against the face of the rocky coastline.”
