Stanza IV is the latest chapter in Benoît Pioulard’s ambient series—a richly textured collection of slow-moving, analog-driven compositions blending guitar, tape loops, field recordings, and synths. Deeply meditative and emotionally resonant, the album is paired with Stanza IV [Versions], a full-length rework collection featuring artists like Clarice Jensen, Arovane, and Markus Guentner, offering new dimensions to Pioulard’s immersive sound world.

Merzbow :: Sedonis (Signal Is Noise)
Sedonis is a searing new release from noise icon Merzbow and Chicago’s Signal In Noise label, blending his signature chaos—overdriven electronics, handmade instruments, and relentless textures—with the label’s sharp visual identity. At nearly 70, Merzbow remains uncompromising, delivering an immersive, punishing sonic experience that continues to push the boundaries of sound.
Yuki Fujiwara :: Glass Colored Lilly (Defkaz)
Glass Colored Lilly by Yuki Fujiwara is a unique blend of traditional Japanese flute, jazz improvisation, and Pan-African rhythms. Produced by Bill Laswell, the album creates immersive, cross-cultural soundscapes that invite deep listening and reflection.
Red Stars Over Tokyo : Subliminal Fascination (Limbic Resonance)
This isn’t merely a revisit; it’s an expansive, almost archaeological excavation of space-popbient — a sound meticulously crafted from blissfully bright, drifting bleeps and a pervasive sense of dreamery, all sustained in places with exquisite slow motion.
Three Point Circle :: Fluorescent Grey (Palace Of Lights)
Throughout Fluorescent Grey, the compositional identity is collective and porous. Leimer, Peters, and Barreca continue their project of dissolving ego in favor of ensemble synergy, crafting a shared auditory imagination where the boundaries between composer, performer, and listener collapse.
Steven Halpern :: Music for Microdosing (432 Hz) (Self Released)
Music for Microdosing may be tailored for sub-perceptual psychedelic experiences, but its essence is universally accessible. This is a sonic tonic for our overstimulated times, a tool for calm, insight, and integration.
Edmondo Riccardo Annoni :: La grotta è aperta (ROHS!)
An album conceived as if it were played by a bodiless orchestra, where resonances, feedback, Tibetan bells, synths, and trumpet come together in an electro-acoustic tone guided only by the intent with which it was created.
Departure Street :: Phantom Sightings (Wormhole World)
Minimalistic guitar music that works as an easy going soundscape for a minimally distracting background that does not require your absolute attention, but it can also satisfy the need for details and perfect construction.
Alessandro Barbanera :: In Darkness Let Me Dwell (Owl Totem)
An epic imaginary soundtrack for a fanciful film noir. In a dreamlike and nocturnal atmosphere, filled with rain and decaying sounds, In Darkness Let Me Dwell—available on Owl Totem, a “dark vibes” division of Dronarivm Records—deconstructs, reworks and wants to pay homage to the imagery and clichés of cinema noir.
Fields We Found :: Resolve / Relate 01 (quiet details)
This sonic exploration series is the product of many durational and deep-listening sessions, unfolding gradually over time and in constant flux, texturally and spatially3made to take your time with and see how your experience shifts across multiple listens.
