Transmission log: Pulsewave approaches

AION8 launches into the new year with Pulsewave — a five-part instrumental release exploring rhythm as movement, mood, and momentum.

Unfolding over three drop points, the Pulsewave EP blends electronic precision with visceral emotion, each track pulsing with its own unique intensity.

🎧 The rollout

January 24 – Primal Pulse

The rawest expression of the series. Dense, tribal, and kinetic — Primal Pulse invites listeners to let go, move instinctively, and embrace the untamed. Released with a driving video visualizer and reels designed to channel pure motion.

February 7 – Ascending Pulse

The opener to the Pulsewave journey. Atmospheric, uplifting, and rhythmically expansive, Ascending Pulse sets the tone for what follows. The video builds on themes of elevation and perspective — the pulse before the climb.

February 21 – Pulsewave EP

The full picture drops. A five-track exploration of pulse as emotional architecture:

• Ascending Pulse – lifting the energy
• Energized Pulse – driving and direct
• Euphoric Pulse – bright and expansive
• Reflective Pulse – moody, inward-facing
• Primal Pulse – grounded, raw closure

Together, the tracks flow like a sonic waveform — rising, blooming, folding inward, and releasing.

🎬 Video signals

Both singles are accompanied by high-energy visuals:

The Ascending Pulse official video offers a bright, forward-moving perspective — a visual metaphor for lift, ascent, and creative renewal :

The Primal Pulse official video drives harder, tapping into instinctual motion and raw energy. It’s movement without overthinking — pure kinetic rhythm :

The videos reinforce the arc of the EP: a journey from breath to blaze.

🧠 Behind the project

“Each track in Pulsewave is its own mood, its own current. This isn’t a narrative — it’s a cycle. A rhythm that begins, builds, and returns. It’s physical, emotional, and meant to be felt more than analyzed.”
— Alek Irwin (AION8)

A remix project may emerge from the Pulsewave sessions — early sketches already hint at alternate forms and reinterpretations. But for now, the original waveform is complete.

Pulsewave arrives February 21.
