A longtime architect of introspection, Stembridge draws deeply from stillness, finding sound not only in what’s heard but in what’s withheld. Silence moves. In that motion, something subtle emerges: each piece wanders like branches swaying in quiet synchrony, all rooted to a shared origin beneath our feet.

V/A :: Making Things Happen: Netlabel Day 10th Anniversary Compilation (Mahorka)
Key actor and indie label in the vast panorama of modern day electronica and sound art, Mahorka started its creative adventure back in 2000-2001 with strongly aligned ideas to participate actively in advanced experimental music worldwide and from various cultural horizons.
Almost An Island :: Almost An Island (Past Inside the Present)
In an increasingly busy, digitized world, this record is a quiet refuge. It’s the sound of connection—between collaborators, between memory and place, between heart and horizon. With their debut, Almost An Island have crafted something truly special: an album to live with, return to, and slowly get lost in.
Cathode Ray Tube :: Canciones en la clave de Pelea (Condition Human) — [concise]
Something jagged and instinctive pulses through Cathode Ray Tube’s latest four-track transmission—just over thirty minutes of fractured rhythms and kinetic sputter.
Everyday Dust :: Resurrection Of The Foghorns (Dustopian Frequencies)
Through white noise, thorough in its separation and diffraction of constituent tones, before reprocessing them and sending them back out into an abyss of stars as if these horns are calling to some alien entity or god far beyond the reaches of our usual means of communication.
Field Lines Cartographer :: Resplendent In The Light Of The Universe (DiN)
Across these eight sonic vignettes, time seems suspended. Sounds drift and sway with gentle persistence, built around nuanced timbres and understated layers. Flecks of modular signal—sporadic blips and radiant pulses—bring flickers of color to an already tranquil soundscape.
Nosivel :: Knowledge & Ignorance EP (Glitchpulse)
Across 24 minutes, these compositions crawl, stagger, and spark with an urgency that feels both deliberate and unrelenting.
Stone and Worship — Primož Bončina and Phil Maguire :: Listening Together At This Place, In This Moment
In experimental sound, collaboration often stems not from strategy but from shared sensibility. Such is the case with Stone and Worship, the compelling new duo release from Phil Maguire and Primož Bončina. Coming from gestural heavy guitar and electronic bass drone music respectively, the two bonded over a deep reverence for minimalism, physical space, and the ineffable power of sound. Their partnership is built as much on intuitive listening as on careful deliberation—a quiet resonance that became a mutual language, shaping Stone and Worship into a work of subtle force, where each frequency, pause, and vibration speaks volumes.
V/A :: Perimeter Loops Vol. II (Perimeter Junk)
A tightly curated suite of short but potent DJ tools: compact, flavorful, and rhythmically cohesive. In this second volume, Perimeter Loops Vol. II navigates an eclectic terrain—swapping between buoyant, downtempo, and propulsive loopscapes.
Wil Bolton & Francis Gri :: Drawing Shadows (Self Released)
These lush soundscapes will easily seduce listeners in search of moments of calm meditative states. Another healing ambient journey which conveys a sense of spatial dislocation and inner quietude with angelic and autumnal tone colors.
Pentagrams Of Discordia :: Triskaidekaphobia Extd. (Sounds Of Discordia)
Here, time blurs. Languid pulses, dusky synth-lines, erratic vocal fragments, and serpentine grooves conjure a place half-remembered—at once familiar and untethered, a kind of sonic déjà vu.
