A Trial of Distances is modern ambient music that sets a reflective mood. It combines subtle, functional, and therapeutic elements with a poetic human touch, making it perfect for moments of daily introspection.

Amphior :: Disappearing (Glacial Movements)
Disappearing presents lonesome and meandering ambient pieces with a clear stylistic interest for tape loop techniques, blurred-out semi-classical sequences built on the reverbed piano and oxidation feeling from deteriorated-fractured acoustic instrumental signals.
Lantscap :: Fragile Peaks (Home Normal)
Fragile Peaks is a deeply engaging (in the sense of the quality of engagement being ‘deep’) slow burner, though that descriptor might misrepresent the intensity of a piece that, fire-wise, is more of a smoulder—a low-lit one at that.
ProtoU :: The Voice of Serenity (Cryo Chamber)
The Voice of Serenity establishes that spiral nebulae exist well beyond the edge of the Milky Way, while simultaneously dealing with the nature of the universe, the cosmos, as well as the study of the chronology of the universe and the actions of the cosmic beings who are completely indifferent toward humanity.
Contre son :: Infinity of Dreams (Gladivs)
Titled Infinity of Dreams, this effort is a hybrid of styles operating a crossover between neo-classical orchestrations, mystical-liturgic ambient obtained by various synthetic chords and slightly pulsating ritual music.
Old Amica / Aiko Takahashi :: Vikande blå / Nuages (Handstitched*)
Overall, musically, Vikande blå / Nuages occupies a span of the ambient-drone spectrum that should lure in fans from, say, PITP to 12k, with Aiko T’s more minimal experimental sensibility nearer the latter, and Old Amica’s more fulsome space/post-rock leanings the former. A quality package, as you’ll have come to expect from Handstitched*.
Francis Gri :: Bruma (Self Released)
Francis Gri is the kind of sound artist whose work deserves to be discovered by a wider audience of ambient enthusiasts, seekers of tranquility, and those drawn to introspective, quiet moments at home. Much like an old friend, Bruma’s music offers comfort and solace, gently accompanying you through times of grief and personal reflection.
Dayin :: Meditations on Forgetting (Mahorka)
Meditations on Forgetting offers expansive, sorrowful ambient landscapes filled with granular noises, fluid droning electric tones, and synthetic oceanic waves.
thme :: Anti Atlas (laaps)
Feedback loops emergent from tape recorder interactions served as a guiding principle, indeterminacy notwithstanding, fostering infusion of a certain fragile sensibility.
