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.
Cryo Chamber Collaboration :: Ithaqua (Cryo Chamber)
Nineteen shadow-bound composers unite for a two-hour Lovecraftian descent into Arctic dread—an immense dark ambient ritual where bowed strings, frozen winds, and unseen beasts awaken the terror of H. P. Lovecraft’s Mythos and the howling presence of Ithaqua.
Maps and Diagrams :: Music for Trees (ato.archives)
Maps and Diagrams’ music drifts like sunlight through a forest canopy, slow, dreamy, and richly layered with acoustic textures that evoke the spirit of each tree it’s named after, from oak to cedar, inviting the listener to float, ponder, and perhaps even dream alongside the trees themselves.
Anton Anishchanka :: Krope (Shatkavalka)
Krope is a six-part cinematic sound suite in which Belarusian artist Anton Anishchanka reimagines ancestral folk songs through analog warmth, field recordings, and spectral electronics, weaving love, loss, and memory into a haunting journey across Belarus’s past and present.
Shine Grooves :: Free Waltz (Artificial Owl Recordings)
Free Waltz drifts through jazzy musique concrète, dubby techno, and ambient improvisation, capturing Andrey Kurokhtin’s rare gift for turning analog experiments and fleeting studio jams into a vivid, living electronic universe.
Adrian Lane :: Their Ghosts and Ours (Audiobulb)
Their Ghosts and Ours unfolds like a sonic séance, weaving field recordings of abandoned spaces with fractured noise, piano, strings, woodwinds, and electronics to summon […]
Departure Street :: This Broken World (Shady Ridge)
Forged from steel-string electric guitar alone, This Broken World is a dark alt-ambient meditation where looping drones, restless fingers, and decaying tape-like repetitions favor texture over melody, tracing desperation, endurance, and the fragile possibility of repair as sound slowly resists entropy.
Rudy Adrian :: Along The Coppermine Ridge (Spotted Peccary Music)
Rudy Adrian’s Along the Coppermine Ridge unfolds like a breathtaking, slow-motion film of New Zealand’s high-altitude wilderness, where ethereal synths, haunting piano, and sparkling chimes illuminate windswept peaks, mist-shrouded valleys, and the timeless pulse of nature itself.
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.
Jon Jenkins :: Flow (Remastered) (Spotted Peccary Music)
Flow (Remastered) reintroduces Jon Jenkins’ unmistakable blend of sincerity, power, and cinematic depth, a sound that has captivated listeners for more than twenty-five years. Living at the crossroads of ambient, electronic, and instrumental rock, the album remains a transportive journey through vast imaginary landscapes.
