The very first Lente Fantasma release blooms on the intersection between Omar's sonic craftwork, which creates an almost sacred, emotionally dense ambience, fed by naturistic folk, melancholic instruments and industrial echoes, and Arkangelo's spoken word – shaped by her research into language/languages and explored through unsent letters as an artistic medium.
This seventeen-minute EP is an emotional thesaurus for a new language of wonder.
4 tracks wrapped up in magnetic tape that are all about disruptive tears, and unravelling, and deep warm niches.
They have the same degree of expansion as the heart a second before going up in flames.
99,99% dilatation —> dissolving
: the latter glint of a red giant.

Arkangelo (b. 1996) is a multidisciplinary artist exploring the skin as canvas, boundary, and bridge. Merging fabric, form, and feelings, she creates experiential works that invite closeness - where comfort, vulnerability, and sensuality meet. Her practice is a living process, driven by presence, transformation, and spontaneous collaboration that seeks to be felt as much as seen.
Omar Cheikh, 1996, works with drawing and sounds. He has collaborated with several independent and self-productions projects like kuš!, Det Grymma Svärdet, Futuro Arcaico, Enterpress, Tocca il futuro and more.
voice and texts by Angelika Ploumidou - sounds by O.Cheikh - recorded, mixed and mastered by Domiziano Maselli
