Inspiration Turns to Aspiration, Turns to Exasperation

A 6 track leftfield/idm album (29m 43s) — released June 20th 2025 on nova alternativa

Instinct Primal and Contagious Orgasm reunite after ten years with Inspiration Turns To Aspiration, Turns To Exasperation, a split release featuring compositions from Czech musician, photographer, sound engineer, and radio host Jan Kruml and Japanese noise pioneer Hiroshi Hashimoto, an experimental composer and sound loop innovator active since 1987.

Each side of this split album reflects their distinct approaches while tackling the issue of finding stability in the midst of the post-COVID maelstrom and confusion.

The album artwork was created by Yasutoshi Yoshida, known as Government Alpha, an established figure in the Japanoise scene and a visual collage artist.
