Narayan: Human Natureal
Human Natureal is a sonic search for self. conceptually it follows ones lifehood from birth on. It examines through sound what is it to be in this world. Narayan wrote:
‘Human Natureal is Narayan’s 6th album,made through 2011. and finished in 2012.
All tracks in this album represent some part and adventures in normal life time.
“Natureal” has two meanings: “Nature Real” and “Natural”,so when you listen to the songs you can figure out the nature of humans, just as we are, from birth to death.
As you will hear, life can be wonderful, never stop living!’
Recorded and edited Narayan 2011.

GentleJunk: Textil{e}tronicsSoundz
Textil{e}tronicsSoundz is made for 2012 exhibition Textil{e}tronics at Galerija Galzenica in Velika Gorica, Croatia. Exhibition is curated by Deborah Hustic. This peace is reminiscence on youth, times when mother carried you in her arms, when you are embedded in her cloth and skin and you can feel the texture of her garment and listen to clothing brushing to each other. It was a time of slow motion. Time when nothing was as fast as it is now.
Recorded and released GentleJunk Netlabel Feb. 2012.
Track: 46 minutes.

True and dark, orgasmic reference to cosmopolitanism with guest star Omar Sharif and his British, intrinsically motivated, companions.
This album has no relevance whatsoever in NOISE.WALL production and if you intent to listen to it you are obliged to process it in your own way, reuse-it, destroy it, compile it, reverse it, remix it, play it in reverse, sample it, sign it with your name and sell it to your own financial advantage…

A cellular automaton is a group of cells that evolves only by nearest neighbour interaction. They are thought to be able to represent the evolution of living organisms and minerals. It is usually assumed that every cell in the universe starts in the same state, except for a finite number of cells in other states, often called a configuration. More generally, it is sometimes assumed that the universe starts out covered with a periodic pattern, and only a finite number of cells violate that pattern. The latter assumption is common in one-dimensional cellular automata.

Tons of fragments are making this experimental noise and ambient a chill for listeners that enjoy night hours with introspective traveling and dark music.
