With the passing of Éliane Radigue, experimental music loses a quiet revolutionary whose patient, enduring tones transformed listening itself into an act of presence.

Antonio Gallucci :: Hope for Nothingness as Something (Dinzu Artefacts)
Antonio Gallucci’s Hope for Nothingness as Something unfolds a luminous, meditative sonic theater, where meticulous avant-garde textures and subtle micro-intervals create an elusive ballet of sound and reflection.
Maps and Diagrams :: Music for Trees (ato.archives)
Maps and Diagrams’ music drifts like sunlight through a forest canopy, slow, dreamy, and richly layered with acoustic textures that evoke the spirit of each tree it’s named after, from oak to cedar, inviting the listener to float, ponder, and perhaps even dream alongside the trees themselves.
autumna :: forget me not (Self Released)
Arriving in late 2025, forget me not extends autumna’s dusty-ambient lineage—bookended by Emile Wauters’ vast, style-roaming discography—into a haze of memory, melancholia, and softly shimmering sonic tableaux.
Shine Grooves :: Free Waltz (Artificial Owl Recordings)
Free Waltz drifts through jazzy musique concrète, dubby techno, and ambient improvisation, capturing Andrey Kurokhtin’s rare gift for turning analog experiments and fleeting studio jams into a vivid, living electronic universe.
2View — Fernand Vandenbogaerde :: Modulisme Session 133 / Early ElectroMIX #49 (Modulisme)
Across decades of experimentation, Modulisme Session #133 and Early ElectroMIX #49 map a continuous modular soundscape where tactile composition and historical innovation resonate as one evolving language of electronic music.
V/A :: Analog 2025 (Remastered) (Unexplained Sounds Group)
Analog 2025 is a thunderous, all-consuming surge of analog fury—an album that squashes, foams, and swirls with such raw sonic force it stops you dead in your tracks.
Ian Nyquist :: Gilded (Flood)
Dublin-based sound artist Ian Nyquist returns with a new album (Gilded) that bridges ancestral traditions and modern experimentation. Blending reimagined Irish instruments, ambient textures, and hypnotic rhythms, he crafts a lush, transportive soundscape both organic and otherworldly.
Max Devereaux :: Aguja (Facade Electronics)
Milwaukee-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, painter, and filmmaker Max Devereaux explores the tactile, physical potential of the turntable on Aguja. Through fragmented vinyl manipulation, layered improvisation, and sonic collage, Devereaux transforms noise and decay into structured chaos, echoing the experimental minimalism of artists like Oval and Alva Noto.
2View — Everyday Dust :: Shrouded III & Mossed in Translation (Dustopian Frequencies)
Everyday Dust returns with Shrouded III, a fever dream of decayed synths, eerie textures, and hallucinatory soundscapes that blur the line between madness and revelation. Paired with the wild remix project Mossed in Translation, these releases plunge deeper into the project’s haunted world—unsettling, immersive, and impossible to ignore.
Fani Konstantinidou :: Undertones (Moving Furniture)
Undertones doesn’t merely explore disorder; it thrives in it—spinning volatile frequencies into an oddly meditative turbulence, where musique concrète meets instinctive structure, and where noise becomes a living, breathing force.
