Steph Kretowicz are a writer, editor and journalist specializing in music, contemporary art and online culture. Their writing appears in Flash Art, Dazed & Confused, Resident Advisor, The Fader and The Wire, as well as The Guardian, Somesuch Stories, and Oxford Artistic and Practice Based Research Platform, among others. Ben Babbitt is a Los Angeles-based musician, producer and composer whose style incorporates experimental ambient music using synthesizers as well as live instruments. Kretowicz and Babbitt collaborated on a tape for the Curl label (together with composer Felicita) in 2021. On this album, Kretowicz’s psychedelic audio narrative wanders through a layered and multi-dimensional notion of existence as suffering, while Babbitt and felicita’s unsettling musical compositions lead this sonic trip through the atemporal influence of trauma and experience on a life, at a point where personal and cultural histories collide.
