    Fade out was a genre... Episode (3) by Roberto Maqueda Dive into Episode 3 of Fade out was a genre…, a monthly experimental radio show curated and performed live by sound artist Roberto Maqueda for GATEKEEPER Radio. This session offers a singular improvisation with one of the core instruments behind Roberto’s club-oriented alias, Mitospora: the Erica Synths Perkons HD-01. Usually the driving force behind rhythmic intensity, this drum machine here takes on an entirely different role — as a source of evolving drones and textures, rather than pure pulse. Across four independent voices, the Perkons unfolds slowly, shaping a shifting sonic landscape processed through reverb, multiple delays, and pitch modulation (Whammy pedal included). The result is an expansive meditation on repetition, density, and tonal friction — a set that blurs the boundaries between intensity and atmosphere. Fade in, fade out. Let yourself drift. Live recorded in Basel (June 4th, 2025).
