Track #1 of Fiction EP

This recording is from my live performance at a Psytrance/Techno Event called 'Rauschen im Wald meets Summer Solstice in da Forest' near Nuremberg on June 14, 2025. When I started, it was still bright and very warm, and many of the partygoers were still recovering from the previous night. That's why I began a little more relaxed, but then around the middle — right before nightfall — I pulled out some old raw diamonds of mine, combined with Didgeridoo inserts, white noise vibratos, LFO modulations, and whatever other spontaneous ideas came to my mind. You know how it is! :) You're welcome to have as much fun listening as I did playing!

Track #1 of "Science EP" released by https://soundcloud.com/jericho-sounds on March 14th 2025 Download it in best quality (WAV, 48khz 24bit) on Bandcamp: https://joix.bandcamp.com/album/science Big Bang (Gregorian Mix) in new version expands the original mix of 2020 with greater depth and an increased hypnotic effect. The voice of the astrophysicist sounds even more synthetic, and the basslines rumble more ominously and expansively in a deep space. Like an organic mass, the track stretches back and forth, reflecting in its own way the states of the young universe shortly after the Big Bang. Because in the beginning, there was sound.

Track #2 of "Science EP" released by https://soundcloud.com/jericho-sounds on March 14th 2025 Download it in best quality (WAV, 48khz 24bit) on Bandcamp: https://joix.bandcamp.com/album/science Is Schroedinger's cat dead or still alive? At least in this track, it meows, purrs, and hisses with all its might in the multiverses of deep basslines and experimental sounds. Meouwrrrrr!

Track #3 of "Science EP" released by https://soundcloud.com/jericho-sounds on March 14th 2025 Download it in best quality (WAV, 48khz 24bit) on Bandcamp: https://joix.bandcamp.com/album/science A massive wave rushes toward our Earth and breaks during the epic break in the dark and delicate atmosphere of a world that looks completely different after the track's final movement.

Track #4 of "Science EP" to be released March 14th on https://soundcloud.com/jericho-sounds Promo available at: https://joix.de/jerichosounds/soj-013/promo.php A Deep Techno track, inspired by the first creation of a synthetic element at my new home town Darmstadt in 1994. 30 years later it was set to synthetic music. From Wikipedia: "Darmstadtium is a synthetic chemical element; it has symbol Ds and atomic number 110. It is extremely radioactive. Darmstadtium was first created in 1994 by the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in the city of Darmstadt, Germany, after which it was named."

It was very early in the morning when JOIX awaked from a dream where the following german words came to his mind together with some unwritten song structures: "Der Krieg soll enden und das möglichst bald. Für den Frieden und dessen Erhalt." (eng: "The war should end as soon as possible. For peace and its preservation."). It seemed very important at this moment, so he immediately stood up and noticed these two sentences on a piece of paper in his studio. After going to bed again and waking up later, reading these words once more with a rational mind he was not so convinced of its meaning any more and doubts came up if it would be really a good idea to use this for the next music production. At daylight and with sober mind it seems a bit childish and naive. But finally the power of the dream was stronger and so you can listen here to the result as first track of this EP "Der Krieg soll enden". The release comes together with two more tracks by JOIX and a remix by Felix Kowalski

"Mantra" stands for the essence of electronic music and deep passion JOIX always is driven by when he is dancing on raves, playing a liveact or working at his home studio on new tracks. Ethernal Space Mix of 2023 is also part of the Mantra Remixes Compilation published by https://soundcloud.com/sounds-of-jericho on 31th March 2023.

Track #2 of the Big Bang EP: https://soundcloud.com/sounds-of-jericho/soj-004-joix-big-bang-ep-preview Namesake of this EP "Big Bang" is an experimental approach of electronic music paired with a lesson of an Astrophysicist about the start of our universe and newest findings, but also mysteries and still open questions. The deep and heavy beats stand for our unconscious parts, desires and emotions, most of the time confronted by a rational and straight mind-based scientific monologue. "We got to believe" as one of the center statements in this Astrophysicist lecture stands for the whole paradox of finding knowledge, exploring everything undiscovered and how we try to explain our world and existence again and again, but still lacking of a final certainty. So this track can also been seen as a metaphoric conflict between the outer and inner world, between "truth" and "vision", between "science" and "religion", between "mind" and "emotions". But at the end of the track with its rise of mystical sounds and melodies you may find to a peaceful coherence of this two halves.

audio record snippet of the art performance and sound installation "#QuellWasserTransport" at the art gallery "Port25" on 26th October during the street party "Nachtwandel" in the city of Mannheim. The sounds came out of a self built hydrophone, mic and random effects of a small modular system. More infos about the hydrophone and the whole performance you can find here: http://www.joix.de/hydrophone Port25: https://www.port25-mannheim.de/

Track #4 of the Big Bang EP: https://soundcloud.com/sounds-of-jericho/soj-004-joix-big-bang-ep-preview With "Urwald" we finally arrived in the deep and dark forest of this release with lots of condensed Didgeridoo sounds, an instrument JOIX also likes to play during his live sets.

"Lazarus" released as Track Nr.5 on my Album TRINITY by Sounds of Jericho in 2019: http://www.joix.de/trinity https://soundsofjericho.bandcamp.com/album/trinity Over the past 10 years, German producer and live performer, JOIX, has continued to evolve as an artist while maintaining his influential stance in the underground of techno culture. With his last solo album, Hermetic Room, already four years behind us, his continuous evolution has led him to produce his third album yet. With this 10-piece composition JOIX is able to tell a story from start to finish, with powerful, deep, dark, pulsating tones that are essential to his musical approach. TRINITY is a complete concept as JOIX' track arrangement takes the audience through various emotions illustrating how there is more to versatility than the dance floor. Beginning with fascinating shifting sounds and a symbolic conversation of a female and male voice, "Electric Eden" acts as a perfect introduction setting the attitude for the album. "Paradise" brings us expressive chords and an euphoric energy, while the rolling bass of "Trinity" sends you into a trancelike state. "Schmelztiegel" distracts the listener with its raw analog warmth filled with extraterrestrial energy. "Lazarus," is a pure exemplary of JOIX's hypnotic style, "Schweben", a journey to infinite depth, followed by "Full of stars" are both very dark tracks, filled with atmospheric suspense and quaking rhythms. "Gentle touch" catches the listener with smooth melodies and a softer atmosphere. "Stomper" shows another emotion of the album with a faster tempo and raw analog sounds leading to the final track. Concluding the odyssey is "Eines Morgens," the most experimental track of the album, beautifully unusual, undulating and massive, it is a breath of fresh air that brings one back to reality and the day light. Passionate of profound mystifying tones that rise and fall, TRINITY is the epitome of unique expressiveness for JOIX. With darkness as a companion, each track has come from deep inside the soul; uncompromised soundscapes that promote taking risks.

Dann standen wir in der Schlange und beteten in uns hinein Oh Wächter der Nacht bitte lasst uns herein Vor uns türmten sie sich auf die Wächter der Nacht sie öffneten die heilige Pforte wir traten ein mit Bedacht Hinein in unser gelobtes Reich so groß, so tief und voller Macht ein Raum voller Klänge und bezauberndem Licht Wir preisen Euch, oh Wächter der Nacht! Wir liessen uns fallen im warmen Bad der Gefühle Blitzlichter zuckten und erhellten den Raum Es gab nichts dahinter, kein Gedanke an den Morgen Es war ein Tanz in die Unendlichkeit, ein endloser Traum Wächter der Nacht Wir preisen Euch oh Wächter der Nacht Wächter der Nacht wir preisen Euch oh Wächter der Nacht ~~~
