Perila is the project of artist, DJ, and radio.syg.ma co-founder Sasha Zakharenko. Over the last few years she's been exploring themes of intimacy and the more elusive layers of reality through mixes and recently her own music; turning to sound as a means of getting in touch with and transmitting life shifts. I'm honored to share her evocative debut EP for Motion Ward, 'Dust 22'. The cassette features a 21 minute live take alongside three songs that occupy a similar state of feeling.

One day you feel
overwhelmed.
Then this pressure
dissolves and becomes
dust.
Intimate layers of what is
real and not resurface.
Dust dissolves in silence
emptying spaces for
change.
Sounds ripple and float
shaping forms which
disappear after hearing them
as if they were never there.
You were never here.
Slow drifts on a surface
of ephemeral reality.
Life is dust cruising
quietly in the mind of an observer.
