An unexpected acoustic turn from an electronic-ambient label, this release reveals a deeply immersive world of microtonal piano, spiritual minimalism, and improvised introspection.

Japan’s role in shaping both early and contemporary eco-ambient and avant-garde electronic music, intertwined with a uniquely philosophical and poetic aesthetic, remains profound.

OdNu, Mi Cosa de Resistance and mRn :: Southern Lands (Audiobulb)
Three ambient, sound-art, and microtonal projects united by a fascination with looped soundscapes converge on Southern Lands to craft a lush, multilayered soundtrack for deep reflection.

Nerthus :: Love letters via Echelon (Eighth Tower)
Nerthus returns with Love Letters via Echelon, a bleak and cerebral descent that shifts from the project’s earlier atmospheric infernos into a more intricate, molecular-level sound world.
