Sounds by Disorganism, INYAN and Hendekagon
Cast from cavernous human leaning,
All dust-blinded and unworded.
Days in hiding; biding, waning,
Westwards all ways walking, walking,
Reading stone with feet so fearful.
Lonely beach in starlit ending,
Describe dead arcs in its peopling,
Tumble down the dunes of reason,
Softened waves that answer longing,
With embers from abandoned fires.
Cup the road and take its blessing,
Fortune’s infant. Nature’s thief.
Bleached and burned of all desiring,
Semi naked understanding,
In its tearful, pearly truth.

A Thyrsus (EP)
Re-released by Off Record Label (originally released 26.10.2022)
In the dust and tragedy under Čelet’s bed, in the tiny attic room where he dwelt, lay a long-forgotten cardboard box containing incomplete letters from old lovers; voices on cassettes from a previous time and a photo booth likeness of himself from a former life- poor, hunted, glowing.
It can only have been for a matter of moments that the Disorganism had been placed on the floor in this room and yet one morning in the early innocent 2000s, T. Čelet returned to the empty club, freshly desolated, to be confronted with 7 voices in full flow. How it had rendered sound from magnetic tape we don’t need to understand, such are its tongues, but Čelet fell onto all fours under the sound being formed around him from the flies at the window, from the calls in the street, abandoned instruments and, after hollow decades, the voice of Maya Horiuchi.
Such lonely and exquisite agony, as this perfect ghost-lover gorged on his current self. He could only writhe and rotate like some arthritic sleeper, desperate to placate their tortured bones. And his dance became the music and music his dance as he pleadingly groped for something to hold onto.
At some point he had managed to start recording and what arose is a reliquary of the incident; the pine cone atop the ivied shaft.
Soaked in sweat he fell out into the bustling street below, blinded in the watery white sunlight, clutching fistfuls of tangled tape and whispered,
” …a thyrsus!”

Celebrating the 100th release on AM - a collaborative work by all collective members.
Review of 100 in Brown Substrate Blue Shadows
https://brownsubstratedarkblueshadows.blogspot.com/2025/01/amc-100-2025-adventurous-music.html?m=1
AMC is a collective pseudonym of the group of permanent members of the German label Adventurous Music. It was invented specifically for their joint track called 100, which activists noted - suddenly - the hundredth release of the music publishing house. INYAN, Disorganism, 1323, Stefano Loiacono, Francis Théberge, Manuel Carbone and Signalstoerung contributed to the creation of the work.
The 28-minute recording begins with a minimalist electronic introduction with a sparse rhythmic part, a laconic ambiance and finely chopped melodic synthesisers and clicks in the spirit of a pleasant, thoughtful clix-n-cats. After a short time, a sneaky meloclamation in a whisper is beautifully woven into it, displacing clicks and cuts, and then the electronics are replaced by an alarming ambient with buzzing and processed and distorted sounds of a music box or bells, which is in turn comes almost as much encouraging to concentrate and concentrate sketch with percussion. Then low-frequency buzzing increases and sounds similar to an abstract glitch, multi-layered pedalled synthesisers and muffled repetative artificial vocal accompaniment appear in the composition, and the rhythm becomes like a slow-motion beat that can introduce numbness. After that, the sound action goes through the stage of abstract industrial noise, taking out of the trance and forcing you to gather and be wary, however, transforming into a relaxing electroacoustic abstraction with crackling, echoed echos of piano echos, people's voices and some third-party recordings. The track ends with an epilogue with rhythmic clicks and a vaporwave insert, as if looping the work and at the same time stitching its end and middle, turning the whole structure into a kind of neat envelope.
By ear in the whole recording, you can distinguish several parts, each of which is made in its own style, but flowing into each other smoothly and in such a way that it is not always possible to say with certainty whether the current metamorphosis is the development of one structural part or the transition to the next. This indicates the integrity and organicity of the entire work, despite the fact that more than half a dozen authors took part in it. Summing up, I want to note the textured diversity of the track 100, which I would call "mono collection", or a collection embodied in the form of a single composition. It is melodic in its own way, non-monotonous, pleases with its aesthetic sound and sound design findings and makes a very pleasant impression, exciting the desire to listen and find details that are not noticed at the first meeting.

Review of Eugene - Leipzig - Varaždin - Frome in Anxious Musick Magazine 14.01.2025
https://anxiousmagazine.pl/recenzje/disorganism-eugene-leipzig-varadin-frome/
Disorganism, also known as Thébru Čelet, is an artist who seems to be pushing boundaries – both in music and visual art. His latest release Eugene – Leipzig – Varaždin – Frome, released on December 16, 2024 by Adventurous Music, is not only a collection of four compositions, but also a sound journey full of emotions, reflections and non-obvious details.
The album opens with the song Obscene With Adoring - something that could be a subtle meditation if it weren't for the constant changes in dynamics that effectively pull the listener out of their sense of comfort. Ambient textures intertwine with pulsating rhythms, as if Disorganism wanted to say: "Relax, but not too much - I'm about to surprise you with something." For me, this song acts as a gateway - it introduces me to the world of the album, but at the same time leaves a lot of understatements that build tension.
The next track, Human Chromatography, caught my attention the most – perhaps because I sensed something incredibly human in its layered, rhythmic complexity. There is some chaos here, but not destructive - rather the kind that brings to mind a puzzle where everything eventually falls into place. It is a sound interpretation of life, with its unexpected turns and contrasts.
Ishtar is the composition that evoked the most emotions in me. Delicate, almost fleeting, yet full of depth. The mythological inspirations heard in this composition reminded me of the universality of human experiences. There is something primal, almost spiritual about it, yet grounded in contemporary times thanks to the subtle use of synthesizers and production techniques.
The album ends on a high note with Wretched Love. This is the piece that, in my opinion, best demonstrates the interdisciplinarity of Disorganism. The intensity of the rhythms, pulsating bass and a space filled with sound energy - all this creates a dynamic, yet still introspective narrative. Upon first listening, I had the impression that this song juxtaposes chaos and order in the most dramatic way.
Four songs, four different moods, but at the same time something that connects them into one coherent story - this is Eugene - Leipzig - Varaždin - Frome. It is also important that he donated the proceeds from the sale of the Disorganism album to Amnesty International. This gesture reminds us that art can be not only a form of expression, but also a tool for social change.
While listening to this album, I wondered how Thébru Čelet combines all these elements – found sounds, field recordings, acoustic instruments and synthesizers – into one whole. Each song seems to have a life of its own, but at the same time it creates something bigger. Eugene – Leipzig – Varaždin – Frome is an album that not only surprises with its diversity, but also makes you reflect - on music, on yourself, on the world. It's an experience I will definitely come back to.

Upon Waking
by Kῦμα and Disorganism
1. Warm, Held, Woken
2. Storm Over Calar25
3. Got That?
4. Vice Like
‘Who will I be today'? Upon waking from my nightly travels, I am changed. Exoplanets, ice tunnels, sudden people with faces that grip. Words... over and over. Lessons I thought I’d understood. Fragments of stories, orphaned from their allegories, recede back into the night, leaving a heat-image on me where they had lain.
On what shore will I be cast? In which reality will I be held? Will I have forgotten yesterday? Yester me? Upon waking, I surface. The storm is silenced. Up is still up and down is still down. My body has returned. I am warm, intact and will soon open my eyes and become whatever iteration of myself this day supposes.’
(T.Čelet, 2024)
Upon Waking is a collaborative project between Disorganism and Kῦμα (aka The Logically Undefined).

Disorganism Visits The Museum.
Recently, Disorganism visited The Museum of Viral Memory, spending time perusing the many exhibit halls and special galleries; drinking in the mysteries and curiosities on display to the senses. A recording of this experience was captured by the many surveillance devices in The Museum. Disorganism, too, captures memories in its own ways.
It occurred to us, however, that much was missing from these piecemeal records of the visit. And that perhaps we could find more evidence for the visit by reaching out to others who might have been at The Museum at the time of Disorganism's visit. And since The Museum of Viral Memory is more accurately said to be located in time than place, much like music itself, any of you wherever you may reside, could very well have been at The Museum during Disorganism's visit, and might have captured something of the experience.
Artists were cordially invited to interfere with/ rework/ reinterpret some or several of the recorded outputs, with 13 original recordings from the visit made available as ‘stems’.
Here then, a cabinet of curios.

Of Womb by Disorganism.
Life originated in the sea - it is the womb of cellular life on Earth which captured and reproduced sea conditions internally. It is literally and poetically inside us. The presence of vast water, the rhythms of its energy, its colours and moods, are profoundly numinous.
Of Womb was conceived as an immersion - a location with which to live, for a while. It is intended to be long enough for its length not to matter.

DISORGANISM – HEARTH (CDR by Inner Demons Records)
Occasionally, you find out about something, and the links/connections you knew there were are simply defined or confirmed. In this case, we have Disorganism, and even when it’s a new name, there are plenty of reasons why you might have heard of the man behind it, possibly not knowing he did music, too. Because: Disorganism is Thébru Čelet, a multidisciplinary artist in experimental music and film. So you might have heard from him through visuals and otherwise, this guy also runs the experimental music radio station Grey Clay Radio. And if you haven’t heard of that before, I’ll include the link at the bottom of this review. Grey Clay helped me through some moments at the university when I needed excellent music while writing my reports. But as we’re not here to promote Grey Clay, let’s focus on this release.
The promo text leaves me puzzled. A few short phrases on a non-being (disorganism) in a story where fantasy, horror and cyberpunk coincide … It’s all in the eye of the beholder, but I’m more drawn towards the music here. In five tracks, a story is told, but set aside the story’s content, and you have almost 50 minutes of well-done music. Most tracks are rhythmical, with many field recordings and drone layers in the background—experiments where atmospheres evolve. There’s no comparison for me with which I mean that I can’t come up with names where I thought, ‘Hey, this stuff reminded me of …’. The first track ‘Meaningless Baby’, stuck with me for being the least rhythmical of the album and “The Vacuum Behind the Feeling” because one sound reminded me of a Coil track. And “Straight Sex” for being over 18 minutes … And even t hough the rhythm doesn’t change that much, he manages to keep it interesting in some weird way.
So yeah, “Hearth” is a fun release that might not be interesting for everyone because it is not too far from ‘normal’ music, but it has enough weirdness to irritate people who only like regular music. And I mean that in a good way! (BW)

Review in Igloo Magazine 12.02.2024
Review in Igloo Magazine 12.02.2024
Fear Of Nature by Disorganism (aka Thébru Čelet) is an interesting and thought-provoking album. As often as it works aesthetically, it also functions on a conceptual level. The title of the album is quickly established as its central theme as field recordings of birds and insects are steadily and increasingly manipulated, filtered, and sequenced. These sounds are accompanied by artificial-sounding pads and other electronic sources. To the degree that the music resembles a garden space, it is not any garden made with natural elements, but something else—a garden of hybrids, perhaps found on an orbiting space station.
In “To Become More Naked,” a female human voice is nature’s vessel. The voice engages in conversation with synth pads and chill-out bass lines. The elements contrast with one another—the listener continues to be aware of these contrasts throughout the piece. “Honey” uses treated field recordings of insects and birds, and this time adds granulated drones. Drones are not often found in nature, but beehives are one possible source. This drone has metallic aspects and could only be heard from some science-fiction version of a beehive, perhaps involving giant aluminum bees.
Synthetic string melodies, perhaps looped, combine with field recordings in “Burn To Me Perfume.” A glitchy rhythm is added, which is unmistakably man-made. No clay or skin drums appear here. Overall this piece is reminiscent of the haunting soundtrack to the film Midsommar. “Teased In Absinthe” sounds a bit Goth; truly eccentric synth melodies grow and twist around one another, like spirals of RNA. As a whole, the track calls to mind the descriptions of the otherworldly music in Lovecraft’s The Music Of Erich Zann.
If a progression exists in Disorganism’s Fear Of Nature, it is from remains of authentic nature to odder and stranger combinations of organic and artificial elements, until the two are impossible to distinguish. It is an interesting and often very effective album, and is worth a listen.

Disorganism - Fear of Nature. (Adventurous Music)
Fear of Nature envoie dès les premières mesures, des ultra-basses profondes, qui vous enrobent instantanément, nappes tournoyantes et rythmes downtempo prenant peu à peu leur place, afin de bâtir un titre aux tensions élastiques, un peu comme si Basic Channel rencontrait Monolake, histoire de donner vie à une nature scintillant de mille feux.
Fear of Nature est une ode aux éléments naturels peu à peu remplacés par leur double technologique, effet miroir d’un monde de fakes porteurs de simulacre et de rédemption illusoire.
Disorganism nous perd dans des chemins imprévisibles, plongeant nos pas dans des sentiers tortueux, surplombés d’intensité inquiétante et de fêlures subtiles. Les field recordings apparaissent et disparaissent, absorbés par des machines dévoreuses d’âmes.
Les sonorités organiques poussent des coudes pour imposer leur beauté naturelle, envoyant dans les cordes, toute tentative de prise de pouvoir d’une technologie utile mais finalement futile.
Fear of Nature est un mélange de genres, nourri de tribalité et d’ethnicité, de modernité et de futurisme, instantané d’un Univers instable à l’éphémérité bousculée. Très fortement recommandé.
