Perry Frank :: Scenario (Shady Ridge)

Founded in 2006 by Sardinian composer Francesco Perra, the one-man project Perry Frank crafts a deeply immersive sonic world where ethereal drones, degraded glitch textures, and echoes of ancient Sardinian folk traditions dissolve into a dreamlike meditation on memory, stillness, and time suspended.

Loula Yorke :: Hydrology (DiN)

Water — one of our most vital natural resources — flows through this entirely electronic album, where Loula Yorke blends modular synthesis with occasional ocean field recordings and elusive, inexplicable sonic artifacts. A UK-based modular artist known for emotionally charged, cyclical patterns, Yorke crafts a hydrology-inspired sound world shaped by water, electricity, and a distinctive array of synthesizer modules.

Felicity Mangan :: String Figures (Elevator Bath)

Felicity Mangan’s String Figures is an immersive exploration of field recordings, electronic textures, and string timbres, blending natural sounds from wetlands with lush, slowly evolving drones and quasi-bioacoustic compositions. Across six pieces, she transforms subtle environmental cues—water, frogs, moss, and children at play—into meditative, minimalistic soundscapes that range from austere elegance to rich, enveloping resonance.
