DEFRAGMENTATION
In file systems, defragmentation refers to reorganising scattered fragments into contiguous regions, reducing disorder and creating a smoother flow. This 12” vinyl adopts that concept, presenting a unified soundscape built from the 24 commissioned works of Fragments of Sonic Extinction* (FOSE), spanning its first three editions from 2022 to 2024. Edited by FOSE founder Kalas Liebfried and long-time collaborator Beni Brachtel, this release envisions all contributions as interconnected fragments within a defragmented sonic terrain.
