Exposure Fields

released November 28, 2025 "Exposure Fields" began in early 2024 as an idea for a short EP with a nostalgic electronica slant, reminiscent of early Dissolved material. These ideas were then broken up further and restructured. The project was put to one side as work began on the third Peltiform album and various remixes. These ideas resulted in longer, more deconstructed and expansive atmospheric tracks along with sketches being compiled for a separate ambient tinged album. When work resumed on "Exposure Fields" in late 2024 and into 2025, these methods merged and what was once an EP, expanded into a more varied and experimental release, with longer, fragmented electronica outings and grainy broken beats pushing things into more intense and collage-like soundscape tracks. The tracks incorporated more varied sounds and still drew notable influence from the aforementioned early Dissolved works, but also from underground electronica like Locust, broken techno styles like Surgeon and Speedjack, the layered atmospheres of Cyclobe, Leo Anabaldi and the haze and jitter of obscure 70s and 80s TV soundtracks. The body of the album had expanded but something in the sounds felt they could be deconstructed even further and to make this happen, a host of choice artists were brought on board for remixing, some from the Mahorka roster - Tokee, Weldroid, Jet Jaguar, Nonima and Abdicant along with other familiar artists like Apydiagirls, exm, Milieu, Vortex Count and Michael Valentine West. A collaborative "Sec-Run" version of "The Interlunation" by Dissolved and Mitoma also happened. With the intention of breaking its horizon and pulling it into unknown territories, the result was a second full length album that carries the echos and textures of the originals into a broken menagerie of styles and melodic colours. It’s hopeful and atmospheric, beat laden and infused with the vibes of two electronic decades gone but still surviving in evolving forms and mystery.
