The first release on fovea specs is an album by experimental music producer Hoavi. An album of 8 tracks is hidden behind the symbolic title 711Falx. Recordings made between 2022 and 2026 blend intuitive ambient with widely spatial soundscapes and clicks&cuts music pieces resembling works released by Force Inc./ Mille Plateaux. Amid the sci-fi pads, IDM structures adopt rhythmic patterns from other genres: in the B-side track “Shore,” these are derived from two-step, while the single “Columns” with vocal chops and breaks, seems to be something that could be described as leftfield footwork. Following the intro track, “Penrose” feels like futuristic onboarding, it goes from an abstract drone to a more expressive and complex sound, then fades away at the end. In the album’s outro “zyx”, glitch music — like something out of an indie game soundtrack — builds up with complex layers, while still sounding dreamy and deeply touching.

For Hoavi, 711Falx is already his second album of 2026, following Archietectonics, released on Los Angeles-based Peak Oil. Hoavi has released music on labels such as Peak Oil, Quiet Time, Balmat, GOST ZVUK, and Fauxpas Musik. His albums have been featured by Pitchfork, Inverted Audio, The Quietus, and many others.
