Sign Libra Shares New Video for "Daybreak"
Sign libra returns today with “Daybreak.” The second single from the forthcoming album Hidden Beauty arrives accompanied by a video directed by Yuri Grasevich and Philip Ananyev that chases the spirit and aesthetic of early era role-playing video games.
Today we share “Act IV: Death and the Dawn,” the concluding movement in Tristan Allen’s Tin Iso and the Dawn, an epiphanic, four-part journey composed and constructed by the New York based artist through music and shadow puppetry.
Formative experiences by way of travel through Asia, studies in Gamelan, a paper mache Christmas angel, and their dad’s Bread and Puppet Theater artifacts formed a web of inspiration from which Tristan’s desire to combine puppetry and their fascination for the narrative power of instrumental music emerged. Years of synchronistic inspirational encounters with “guardian angels” in the form of music mentors and puppeteer masters incentivized Tristan to pursue a project where they could focus on sound and diverse instrumentation.
If you happen to be in Philadelphia for the Making Time ∞ festival this weekend, Tristan performs on Saturday, September 23. We’ll celebrate the release of Tin Iso and the Dawn on Friday, October 20 at Public Records in Brooklyn, NY. More information here.

Sign Libra’s mix for RVNG’s monthly NTS Radio show Friends & Fiends is archived now. Featuring label faves and affiliates like Patrick Marcel, David Van Tieghem, and Hector Zazou, alongside a sneak peak of the next sounds from Hidden Beauty coming this week.
Today marks the release of Wayne Phoenix’s soaring wayne phoenix story the earth and sky. Available in standard and artist edition vinyl, Japanese import CD (via Plancha), and across all digital portals.
Not only a profoundly personal and vulnerable expression unbound by an exploration of creative potential and mystery, but a bridge beyond the artificial boundaries that separates us from an unfiltered voice found within all.
