The album was recorded re-amping from Berlin to a transformed water tank in the Colorado desert, steeped in otherworldly resonance, both intimate & cosmic. Join us as the vinyl streams from the Tank itself. It will be, as Hainbach describes it: “full tankception.”

Spanning from dreamy house music to wistfully twisted guitar loops, the arrangements expand and contract with layers of dusty synths, distorted melodic swells, and found-sound samples.

Our new single from Wavefiler is a near ten-minute composition built as a single arc, structured into three main sections that fold into one another, resisting fixed divisions to form a continuous, tidal movement. Mastered by @amhstudio.bsky.social

The album was recorded in the very house shown on the cover. The lo-fi textures, static, and background noise were all intentionally included to reflect the atmosphere of the the old house and to explore the aesthetic of filtering urban noise—revealing the hidden beauty of sound within Seoul.

'Seoul Static' reflects a journey that began with intimate house concerts in a fading neighborhood of old Seoul—13 shows hosted in his own living room from 2023 to 2024, under the name 'Bitter and Sound'. Those gatherings became the seed for a small but growing ambient community in South Korea.

Mohani is the solo project of Seoul-based musician Donghoon Han. Using instruments like the Ciat-Lonbarde, Monome Norns, and OP-1, he creates immersive ambient works focused on capturing fleeting moments of beauty in sound.
