The release is set to premiere on May 16th 2025 in both vinyl and digital format. Blurred Line is the result of ISNT’s sonic explorations at the intersection of ambient, techno, and film music. It is hypnotic, spacious, and infused with an undertone of unease. Rhythmically, it draws inspiration from industrial and electro, yet it is not entirely designed for the dance floor. The album was created during different phases of the artist’s life. Some of the tracks stem from her work on the soundtrack for the 1924 silent film The Hands of Orlac, others were developed during jam sessions in Gorzów, while some are variations on live material performed before the pandemic. Despite its varied origins, the album is unified by the artist’s distinct modus operandi.
This is an example of musical storytelling—ISNT has conjured up a captivating and immersive soundscape, blending industrial influences with intricate, cinematic textures and pulsating rhythms.
The album’s cinematic quality and attention to atmosphere are not just a result of specific commissions but an integral part of ISNT’s creative process. While producing music, she often watches horror, science-fiction, and surrealist films on mute, looping selected scenes and allowing visual stimuli to guide her artistic decisions. This contributes to the experimental nature of her approach to techno— spatial, layered, and defined by a distinctive sense of coldness. However, the primary image accompanying her throughout the album’s creation was the reality unfolding around her.
The closing track, Zepsute Zęby (Decayed Teeth), is the most personal piece in her discography, born from a need to purge painful emotions. This cathartic dark ambient outro is filled with piercing, unsettling sounds.
ISNT is the alias of Katarzyna Kwiatkowska, a Polish DJ, producer, and activist based in the French part of the Basque Country.
