With RhaD, Raffaele Pezzella fractures memory and signal into a dense, hallucinatory archive where lost transmissions feel disturbingly alive.

Church of Hed :: The Father Road (Self Released)
The Father Road is a pulse-driven, transcontinental voyage of progressive electronica, tracing the mythic Lincoln Highway coast to coast as Paul Williams’ Church of Hed expands his ongoing musical road saga between Rivers of Asphalt and Under Blue Ridge Skies.
Church of Hed :: Under Blue Ridge Skies (Eternity’s Jest)
Summer may be over, but the dream of open roads and endless skies still lingers. Church of Hed’s Under Blue Ridge Skies offers a sonic road trip through the Appalachian highlands—where synths, motorik rhythms, and scenic wonder converge into a journey worth taking.
Seth Thorn :: a curious doubling of terms (Audiobulb)
On a curious doubling of terms, Seth Thorn weaves a serene tapestry of ambient electronics and modular textures. Combining bowed strings, granular synthesis, and hushed rhythms, he crafts nine intimate pieces where silence, shimmer, and circuitry intertwine in delicate motion and mood.
Ludovico Franco :: Open Field (Lᴏɴᴛᴀɴᴏ Series)
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.
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.
Anna Homler :: Reverie (Right Brain)
Reverie is a tour of unadorned castles in the air, playful and strange vocals, music inspiring pleasant dream-like thoughts, expressed with wordless musical vocalisms, fluid speech-like syllables that might lack any readily comprehensible meaning, an extravagant conceit of the imagination, a lost sense of dreaming while awake. There is an extraordinary array of great talent here.
Fredrik Rasten :: strands of lunar light (Aspen Edities)
strands of lunar light takes as its material a series of 24 harmonics of a fundamental frequency of 5.15 Hz (a very low E, below normal human hearing range), using openly tuned guitar strings in various ways through the movements of the suite.
400 Lonely Things :: Subdivisions (Unexplained Sounds Group)
Attached to the singular process of degradation—evoking memory, loss, and the inevitable corruption of time—and looped patterns but brightly coupled to soothing ambient lines and oceanic shimmering sequences which attenuate the ominous purpose and turns it in something dreamlike.
Nickolas Mohanna :: Speaker Rotations (AKP)
The huge scope that Speaker Rotations depicts is well served by its compositions as well, as it sometimes starts to build to these big big walls of chaos; truth be told, loudness is never this album’s main goal, but it feels so huge that it almost tricks you into thinking you’re submerged by sound, slowly sinking in quicksand.
