Record Of Tides :: Intercelestial (Mahorka)
Within that tension between structure and collapse, Sven Piayda uncovers a strange sense of ease. Intercelestial thrives inside instability, shaping corroded electronics and broken rhythmic patterns into something fluid, tactile, and strangely alive.
Hollan Holmes :: The Sanctity of Rust (Spotted Peccary Music)
Hollan Holmes delivers a conceptual ambient-electronic album that energizes beauty, while considering decay, aging, and the passage of time. This could act in a sonic parallel to Holmes’ visual art, celebrating the unconventional elegance of oxidation and endurance.
Memory Effect :: Ritual Machines (Augment)
Ritual Machines fulfills its promise: a hypnotic, otherworldly passage through exploratory electronics, guided by ceremonial rhythm, subterranean resonance, and a persistent sense of sonic invocation.
Perry Frank :: Scenario (Shady Ridge)
Founded in 2006 by Sardinian composer Francesco Perra, the one-man project Perry Frank crafts a deeply immersive sonic world where ethereal drones, degraded glitch textures, and echoes of ancient Sardinian folk traditions dissolve into a dreamlike meditation on memory, stillness, and time suspended.

Patricia Wolf’s Hrafnamynd—her second LP for Balmat—melds ambient composition, field recordings, and empathic melody into a haunting, memory-soaked soundtrack whose warm synths, birdsong, and tape-worn textures mirror Edward Pack Davee’s raven-haunted Icelandic imagery and its meditation on collective and personal remembrance.
Rena Jones :: Love Letters (Cartesian Binary)
Love Letters unfolds as a luminous inward journey—where classical warmth, electronic bloom, and rhythmic grace converge to celebrate self-acceptance, emergence, and the quiet power of realizing we have always been enough.

Forged from steel-string electric guitar alone, This Broken World is a dark alt-ambient meditation where looping drones, restless fingers, and decaying tape-like repetitions favor texture over melody, tracing desperation, endurance, and the fragile possibility of repair as sound slowly resists entropy.
Christian Kleine :: Inside Outside (Self Released)
Christian Kleine returns as a trusted guide in emotive electronic music, with Inside Outside unfolding twelve memory-rich, melodious instrumentals that favor warmth, motion, and quiet evolution over spectacle, reaffirming his mastery of intimate, restorative soundscapes.
