Artifacts.001

Artifacts.001 gathers tracks made for various compilations, originally released between 2017–2021 and newly remastered by Lawrence English. Shaped across disparate contexts, these pieces are brought into alignment—like scattered data points that begin to reveal a pattern when viewed from a distance. The years since have shifted the lens: through the accumulation of crisis and the slow encroachment of technology, the relationship between past and present has grown less about longing and more about survival. Here, time operates not just as a structuring force, but as something that erodes, reframes, and transforms.
