nexorable Ascent by Brighton-based Agnes Haus is a collection of slow harmonic drone-based modular synthesiser pieces composed entirely within the AM hours between 12 and 4. A hallucinatory polyphonic study of external perceptions of what it means to live in a perpetual liminal state.

Releasing on 7 November, 2025 on Nite Hive

During a period of solitude in late 2024, Agnes Haus set an intention to make a monochromatic electronic album that felt timeless and cinematic, yet uncomfortable. “Every night, for two weeks in my attic studio, I watched granular Bergman and Tarkovsky films in the background while I crudely experimented on my small modular synthesiser. I had been feeling like a pariah at the time by shunning binary systems on all levels, from politics to everyday life, which had become suffocating in the online world. I kind of anaesthetised myself in the late-night hours, focusing on the subtleties of the quiet particulars of sound - the details of the infinite intonations in between.”

Agnes Haus is a non-binary Brighton-based audio-visual artist and composer creating murky, fractured aural landscapes revolving around semi-autonomous explorations made entirely with modular synthesisers. In 2023 and 2024, respectively, their first two albums, "Sequel' and ‘Everything Is Resurrection’ were released on the iconic cassette label Opal Tapes - praised for their bleak minimalism and organic spaciousness. Their live performances are akin to a live score; fully improvisational, purposefully hypnotic, with haunting self-created cinematics. Along with audio, Agnes Haus is arguably best known for their visual work, exploring the dark and the surreal through music videos for artists such as Mogwai, Penelope Trappes and Microcorps. They have shown their visual work at Queen Elisabeth Hall, Attenborough Centre for the Arts, EarTH, Dark MOFO Festival, Sonica Festival and SXSW.
