Grandbruit :: Adaptation (Élan Vital)
Adaptation adds to a growing back catalog, with languorous, looping motifs accruing through judicious entrainment into an overall suite whose doleful resonance is as strong emotionally as timbrally.
Field Lines Cartographer :: Dreamtides (Castles In Space)
Dreamtides is another widescreen work that plays out like a sonic dream journal, with vivid illustrations of unreal landscapes couched in slow-elaborated recursions of languorous synth-tones.
Werra Foxma :: Double vision — Morgen Wurde & Tis / autumna
Since inception in 2020 Edinburgh’s Werra Foxma Records has quietly gone about curating some fine electronic music, with two of its more recent offerings from Morgen Wurde & Tis and autumna getting an igloo ‘view.
Hannu Karjalainen :: LUXE (Karaoke Kalk)
Departing from the Enovian principle of Ambient as functional room tint or affordance structure for relaxation, LUXE exhibits the genre’s stylistic richness, not to mention latitude, in its questing navigation through diverse sounds and states.
MULTI-VIEW :: Past Inside The Present (in the past…)
Documenting the drift at the margins, a look back at Past Inside The Present’s showcase of the state of the art of ambient dronescaping, focusing on selected works from earlier in the year that may have gone under your radar.
