In No Memory isn’t just an album. It’s a full-on experience — the kind that swallows you whole and leaves you somewhere deep inside your own head, unsure whether you’ve just meditated, hallucinated, or time-traveled. A stunning marriage of electronic sound design and stark, haunting visual art, this new project by Dutch audio-visual alchemist CausaliDox is a concept-driven masterpiece that demands not just attention, but immersion.
This isn’t something you “pop on” in the background. You submit to it.
You sink into it.
And it quietly, beautifully wrecks you.
At its core, In No Memory is a brooding blend of IDM, ambient, industrial, and electronica, laced with noise textures, droning synths, and subtle shifts in tone that sneak up on you like the creeping realization that time is slipping through your fingers. It’s dark, yes — but never without beauty. There's melancholy here, but also transcendence.
Think: if Autechre, Tim Hecker, and Nine Inch Nails were trapped inside a black box in deep space, left alone with a broken radio and a fading memory of Earth. There’s structure, but it’s ghostlike. There are melodies, but they decay. CausaliDox isn’t building songs — he’s building moods... and then systematically deconstructing them.
Track titles like “The Net Worth Of Your Time And Existence” and “The Futility Of Existing (A Timeline)” tell you exactly where this thing is headed: into the void. But it’s the kind of void that makes you think, not panic. A contemplative emptiness.
A stillness, yes — but with the uneasy buzz of electricity always just below the surface.
Photographer and music producer Marcus Moonen expands beyond sound into the visual realm with his project, In No Memory. The 4K photo book is gorgeous in that way apocalyptic art can be — sparse, expansive, quietly unsettling. These aren’t images designed to comfort. They reflect the same themes of erasure, absence, and non-being that pulse through the music.
You’re not just hearing this album — you’re seeing it, feeling it. Each glitchy sonic detail finds its echo in bleak, minimalistic imagery. It’s like looking at old memories through a corrupted hard drive.
The overarching theme of In No Memory is deep and metaphysical. In CausaliDox’s own words, this project explores "existence without trace". What happens when no memory — human, digital, divine — holds your story? Is that oblivion tragic... or liberating?

Each track is like a different room in this existential gallery:
“Next Time The Sun” toys with consciousness bound to cosmic routine.
“No Choice” confronts the horror of being when you never asked to be.
“In No Memory”, the title track, leaves you floating — a state of pure absence. Beautiful, terrible, final.
It’s not a stretch to say this is some of the most philosophical music you’ll hear this year.
CausaliDox doesn’t just talk a big game — he’s a technician. A full technical breakdown is available, showing off the tools used to sculpt the dense, detailed soundscapes. Modular synth nerds, field recording lovers, and texture-obsessed audiophiles: there’s plenty to geek out over here.
All tracks were composed, produced, and mastered by CausaliDox. The care and intent in the production is unmistakable. This is meticulous, self-built, handcrafted electronic art.
CausaliDox is a Netherlands-based polymath with a portfolio that includes photography, filmmaking, screenwriting, and of course, electronic composition under several pseudonyms (sonOnos, TriggerRat, Bob Knutton). His academic background in philosophy and literature bleeds into every beat and image in this project.
He’s released on underground, respected labels like Kahvi Collective, Kaos Ex Machina, and Diffuse Reality, and this latest work on EC Underground feels like a culmination of all those years of layered artistry. This is no newcomer — this is someone who’s been crafting sound and vision for decades.
In No Memory isn’t for the casual listener looking for a weekend banger. It’s for those of us drawn to shadow, to philosophical weight, to sonic depth. It’s the kind of project that sticks with you long after it ends — not as a melody, but as a question. A disquiet. A memory of something you never knew you had.
And for all its darkness, there’s comfort in that. Beauty, even.
“In No Memory” is available now on all major streaming platforms. More info on release can be found on the official website - here
