The seed of Ego Death was planted in 2020 during Weavings--a durational remote improvisation conceived and curated by Nicolas Jaar and the Unsound Festival team. This bold experiment brought together 12 musicians from around the world in real time via Zoom, and marked the first collaboration between Resina and Aho Ssan. Their intuitive musical synergy was immediate, revealing a shared vocabulary despite working with radically different tools and instruments. That moment became the beginning of an evolving creative partnership.
In 2021, Resina contributed to Rhizomes, Aho Ssan's album inspired by the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari.
The duo later reunited for alive version of Weavings to wide critical acclaim, before premiering their collaborative project Ego Death at Unsound Krakow in 2022. Their debut album is released via Berlin-based Subtext Recordings.
Across the album's eight chapters, a wordless narrative unfolds-one of dissolution and reassembly, revealing music's profound capacity as a language of emotion, subjectivity, and spirituality. Their music brims with dark, cinematic intensity, stretching the tonality of the cello to its breaking point and exploring the textures left in its wake.
Crackling noise, field recordings, and expansive synthesis shape their compositions, bringing a dynamic and ever-shifting sonic terrain.
