Ludovico Franco’s Open Field (Rohs! Record) is a seven-part ambient work blending field recordings, improvisation, and electronics. Inspired by James Tenney, it was recorded outdoors with musicians and audience sharing the space. The result is a series of immersive soundscapes that feel more like living environments than compositions.

Akhira Sano :: D-R (laaps)
The strength of D-R is that, like much of the best ambient music, it can be approached as the perfectly balanced backdrop which will subliminally change your state of mind, or as a full immersion, disclosing one more detail at each listen. In both cases, the album rewards the listener, and inspires them in its tranquillity.
Federico Mosconi feat. Barbara De Dominicis :: Frammenti (Dronarivm)
Frammenti is a vivid and thoughtful collaboration. Through Mosconi’s detailed sonic worldbuilding, De Dominicis’s intimate vocal work, and Salvadori’s poetic narratives, the album becomes a moving study of memory’s scattered, shimmering remains.
Ray Manta :: Anhedral Skipstack (DataDoor)
It’s a vortex of unstable harmonics and whispering frequencies, built from minimal static and fractured melodies that seem to constantly evolve, folding in on themselves.
Yann Novak :: Continuity (Room40)
Released on Lawrence English’s long-running Room40 label, Continuity is a conceptual and sonic triumph—an ambient album that dares to interrogate the very structures through which we process and interpret the world.
Contagious Orgasm :: Behind Closed Doors (Ant-Zen) — [concise]
As always, Contagious Orgasm proves vital and restless—an enduring force in experimental audio since the late ’80s, still conjuring chaos and cohesion from the unruly tide of avant-garde electronics.
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.
Mike Lazarev :: Tarnished Tapes and Saturated Signals (Dronarivm)
Each track feels like an artifact—a fragment of a forgotten broadcast or the warped soundtrack to a dream you only half-remember upon waking.
Substak :: Forest Of Endless Sky (Neotantra)
Forest of Endless Sky forges its stylistic path in the pure tradition of spacious drone ambient music with its longitudinal abstract textures, sense of depth, tone colors, field recordings, and imperceptible variations.
Philippe Neau :: hORs SoLs (Mahorka)
Titled hORs soLs, this new album by Philippe Neau is dedicated to green field recordings which work like a lively, organic ballet of natural sounds occasionally morphed, treated and manipulated with additional electronic sound sources.
XICO :: I (Self Released)
Rarely does a project feel so eclectic yet so cohesive, a sprawling, hypnotic sound-world where repetition seems impossible, and every listen reveals a new path through its immersive maze.
