Twelve kilometers down
beneath the line of this sound
the world bends
under its own weight
and listens to itself
There
where darkness has thickness
and time drips vertically
the stone does not sleep
{..}
‘Gergely’ is the third EP in the catalog of Stagno Records, marking the debut of the duo Hagva, in-house core project of the label.
Across four extended compositions — Korath, Marianne, Khaini, Leura — Hagva sculpts a guttural sonic geology where time folds and sound gains physical weight. The drones don’t flow, they settle and stratify. The harmonics don’t fade, they thicken and stagnate. Echoes emerge slowly and relentlessly, rising from the deepest trench in the world, to fall again.
It’s a distinct sensation of immersion, driven by a seamless flow of layered soundscapes, aquatic textures and elemental density. It’s not a journey outward, but a pressing descent inward.
It’s the vertical time: a gravitational field of submerged frequencies, tension that breathes slowly, eager to preserve its unique form like mineral memory.
With ‘Gergely’ Hagva opens a world entirely their own: primordial, tactile and unmistakably deep.
There is no map to follow, only pressure points and impulses. Where this record takes you next depends entirely on the landscape of your inner world.
