Life is a soon enough forgotten affliction/We can no more think of NOW/the immediate interval/than we can think of the past as having been and the future rendering the paradox of memory almost unbearable/The weight of death lies in its inability to be misunderstood/It makes no error/and leaves us with little hope of bearing it/Desire neither consents or refuses/it is that reserve of feeling which cannot be felt without approaching the night without sleep/Suicide is always apart from thought or truth in which the self propels itself to that place forbidden to all/foreign to will and desire/Desire to compose is a pointless obsessive search for absent meaning in the obscurity of the interim of intervals of thought/The neurotransmitter has resistance to being embedded in memory without the exact degree of trauma/Desire to compose is a search for absent meaning in the ruinous awareness of obscurity of the intervals of having just thought/Some women unveil their bodies while retaining their mystery/Regards and affection Lee Kwo
Hi Anthony I just ordered a copy of KOG from White Label Music and its on its way already/ I have to say that the service is excellent and the price unbelievably reasonable/Marc even sent me an email telling me it was on its way/Talk about personalized service/I am looking forward to hearing the work/Its a great site and I will be keeping an eye on it for more such gems/ Regards and affection Lee Kwo

Adviruz is the artist psedonym of Istanbul’s Pinar Gurcan, whose growing passion for sound is translated through her music. Since an early age, she has been listening and mimicking opera singers, writing melodies, songs and poems in which she spoke her mind and reflected her soul. All of which are evident on "Nightly Sounds", an 8 track album which is the equivilent of having a glimpse into a diary, learning of love lost, gained, a snapshot of the human condition from which we can all draw experience... All of these things are developed musically into minimalistic glitch, noise, idm, experimental music and microsounds, its influences reminiscent of work by artists like Tujiko Noriko, Mira Calix, Plaid and Björk.
Adviruz and Section 27 present "Nightly Sounds", an intricately woven and rewarding musical tapestry. Available now for free download.
