![[mt.jpg]] **Hacktivism Records** - November 30th, 2014 Similar to [[Diagonal Rotation (Album - 2015)]], this is still available on the Hacktivism Bandcamp, but since they have been defunct for many years I don't have any active contact with them and consider it an archived release. *Ando Laj was the first person to get in contact with Hacktivism about a release. When the label first began, the first three releases were already lined up and all had varying different elements to them which did not fall into a certain aesthetic but more of a certain frame of mind. When Ando contacted us we knew it was a good match because aesthetically his music and visuals were exactly what Hacktivism looked and felt. The release Ando sent the label was "Miriam Transmission" a 23 minute EP of highly accessible, very catchy electronica that sometimes drifts into ambient territory. Not only does Ando also do visual projects but his music seems to paint a visual picture as well. Hacktivism's and Ando's artwork work very well side by side and we are honored to have him on the label and to be able to release his highly talented electronic experimentations.* *Ando has also self-released plenty of his music digitally via his bandcamp. Keep an eye out for an audio-visual VHS release from Ando this summer.* I did not release an audio-visual VHS that summer. Tracks 4 is the title track, and has a strange structure with lots of stuff going on. Track 5 "Convalescence" features me beat-boxing through the Lexicon MX300. https://drive.proton.me/urls/DPTDBT0KHM#kCTSEeaprhuj https://drive.proton.me/urls/9TBHE1N0CC#gNTtcQQ1ZHxT This record had a pseudo-occult theme, nothing specific or genuine, but it's not something I would attach to my music these days.
