V/A :: For LA Vol. 3 (Helios Music)

As with previous volumes, For LA Vol. 3 not only highlights the creative brilliance of its contributors but also stands as a testament to the power of music in driving meaningful change.

A powerful fundraising compilation supporting relief and recovery efforts

The For LA series returns with its third volume, bringing together an impressive roster of artists for a cause that extends beyond music. For LA Vol. 3 is a deeply immersive and sonically rich compilation, uniting a wide range of ambient musicians to support We Are Moving The Needle and GiveDirectly—two organizations dedicated to providing relief and recovery for affected families. 100% of the proceeds from this release will go directly to these frontline efforts.

Thoughtfully curated by Hollie Kenniff, this latest installment features contributions from a stellar lineup, including Steven Vitiello, Taylor Deupree, Marcus Fischer, Arovane, and many more. Each track on For LA Vol. 3 unfolds with intention, showcasing a spectrum of ambient textures, field recordings, and evocative soundscapes that reflect both the artists’ unique voices and a collective spirit of generosity.

This collection builds toward a stunning conclusion with “Cascade Infinite (Live at Festiwal Ambientalny)” by Abul Mogard & Rafael Anton Irisarri. This final piece serves as a perfect closing statement—its vast, drifting harmonies and enveloping sound layers offer a contemplative, meditative resolution to an album filled with depth and emotion.

As with previous volumes, For LA Vol. 3 not only highlights the creative brilliance of its contributors but also stands as a testament to the power of music in driving meaningful change. Whether you are a longtime follower of these artists or a newcomer to the ambient music scene, this compilation is a good gateway—one that resonates far beyond the speakers.

For LA Vol. 3 is available now on Bandcamp, where listeners can support the cause and experience this extraordinary collection of sound.
