Historical documents. Almost erased. Re-erected in the silky hand of a mad and brilliant sound painter. Insects? Do I hear insects? No. It is the sound of erasure. Of what survives time once it has been eaten, gnawed through. Ghosts of the cylinders. Concrete dada. Proto-psychedelic residue. I always forget myself in the immemorial dust. The train toward erasure departs at six o’clock. It is a gigantic, schizophrenic gramophone. Sooty steam leaks from its walls of cylindrical flesh. I spiral out. My brain. My mouth. It leaks. Like cylinders melting under the midnight sun. You must eat the wagons. Eat the station grounds. And drink cylinder juice to truly understand. I want to understand. I love. I love. I love. Two tracks. Nothing else sounds like this. NOTHING. ELSE. It is sound remembering itself incorrectly. A medium hallucinating its own extinction. -Sir Kuliktavikt --- released February 6, 2026 Nonentity is: - a person or thing of no importance - something that does not exist or exists only in imagination - nonexistence - a noise project by Piero Baccega nonentity.bandcamp.com
