Hirameki by tesssssssssssting

Emerging from the ever-shifting cultural landscape of Buenos Aires, tesssssssssssting is the sonic alias of Andrés Montero Bustamante—a producer, musician, and sound designer whose craft thrives at the intersection of analog-digital experimentation and the organic textures of machines. With a focus on hardware-based exploration, Andrés weaves intricate soundscapes that blur the boundaries between frenetic rhythms, noise-driven atmospheres, and evocative harmonic passages. His work gestures toward IDM, ambient, and breakcore while maintaining a sound uniquely his own.

Hirameki is a meticulously constructed eleven-track album that draws a melodic line across an array of emotional landscapes. Built on a foundation of field recordings captured in various cities across Japan, the record fuses these organic sonic imprints with wildly distorted breaks and a masterful approach to sound design. While retaining the raw grain of tesssssssssssting’s earlier works, Hirameki leans into clarity, presenting a visceral listening experience that remains deeply textural.

Record label established since 2019, focused on the new local experimental electronic scene.
