Four quite open and complex questions are the starting point for the creation of a rather personal guest mix that blends sound, imagination and memory. This new series is curated by sound artist and music producer Maria Papadomanolaki also known as Dalot for Igloo Magazine. Interlude focuses on female artists and aspires to highlight how exceptional, skillfully crafted and varied the responses can be. Interlude #1 :: Karen Vogt
Tag: Drone
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.
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.
Steve Roach :: The Reverent Sky (Projekt)
The Reverent Sky reaffirms Roach’s status as (inter-)stellar sonic explorer, layering various strands of his stylistic armory into a mesmeric tableau of oneiric ambience offset with a timeless pulse.
Alessandro Sgarito :: Appartenenza (Shady Ridge)
Appartenenza is an album that doesn’t try to explain itself, it invites you to live within it. It doesn’t demand your attention, but earns it with the quiet confidence of someone who knows that true beauty never announces itself.
SKOTÓGEN :: Of Shadow Landscapes (Self Released) — [concise]
These six expansive tracks feel suspended in time—meditative and immersive—where reflective dark ambient passages and timeless dronescapes stretch into a surreal echo of the world around us.
Aidan Baker :: & You Still Fall In (Gizeh)
Known for his prolific output and textural sensitivity, Baker delivers one of his most resonant and affecting works to date—a slow-burning, immersive experience that quietly commands attention.
Moat Bells :: Nap Bud (A Person Disguised As People)
Gently corroded synth figures, filtered field recordings, and soft tape hiss assemble into scenes that feel lived-in rather than composed. These aren’t tracks in the traditional sense so much as zones—delicate, slow-form atmospheres tuned to the rhythms of stillness and peripheral awareness.
Monolake :: Gravity (Reissue) (Field) — First vinyl pressing
Monolake explores the earth and the heavens as well as man’s place in them, their soundtrack being sculpted with daring simplicity to achieve complexity and intricacy of expression and form.
