GTX02 by iarna

Closing Ghosttown’s release year, GTX02 extends the label’s newly established, experiment- focused series. Berlin-based iarna offers a deeply personal sound-narrative: emotional reflections on Romania, moving between brutalist cityscapes and fog-soaked mountain views.

„sitting in the passenger set, seeing endless transitional spaces, electricity, pylon speeking through the fog, potholes, unfinished brick houses, newly built orthodox churches, abandoned gas stations & factories, grassland plots for sale, arriving in the city, visiting relatives in concrete apartment complexes, eating warm soup, playing video games hanging out in courtyards & parking lots, driving to the mountains, walking through rainy forests, having fever dreams in ancient overnight trains, experiencing the full range of human emotions“

„Periferia“ is a collection of soundscape sequences, processing these themes, emotions & memories. The resulting sonic ambience is embellished with samples and drum patterns inspired by genres like idm, dancehall, trip-hop, breakcore and jungle, albeit merged and re- contextualised.

written and produced between 2020-2025 in the romanian countryside, as well as in various apartments in berlin
