Distant Fires Burning and Autistici return to Scalar not as a fixed object, but as a signal sent outward—refracted, reshaped, and reassembled by a cast of artists operating at the edges of ambient, electronic, and IDM practice. What emerges is less a conventional remix package than a set of transmissions: six alternate states of the same source, each one pulling the track deeper into new zones of...

The city’s fragments repeat, overlap and resonate — a quietly grooving electronic landscape built only from field samples. Repeating Town is made entirely from field recordings captured in and around Koenji, Tokyo — traffic signals, footsteps, air conditioners, construction, passing cars, fragments of conversation. These are treated not as documentation but as sampling material: cut, repeated, lay...

Over Exposure is an album about home - my childhood home, more specifically; in comfort, and in quiet reflections on the past, present, and future. As I've gotten older, nostalgia hits hard, with greater frequency. As I meditate on my past, in hopes to inform my future, I've found myself returning to my childhood home and neighborhood in these reflective sessions. One thing I adored about where I...

A spore is not simply dormant matter. It is compressed information held in suspension. Survival depends on latency. When conditions shift, activity resumes. What returns is not identical. Small differences accumulate. Variation is the operating principle. This recording adopts that model. “prototype” establishes a base state: technological residue, low amplitude interference, unstable circuitry, l...

MemLoss is about my speech and memory becoming noticeably inconsistent. Day-to-day, I am forgetting words when I speak (not when I write), as well as forgetting various steps in whatever task I’m supposed to be doing. Because of this, I’ve begun using my music, animation, artwork, etc., as a method of documentation. Not so much documentation of speech and memory loss, but of the confusion it leave...

With Metamorphoses, OdNu + Ümlaut enter a deeper phase of their shared language, extending the quiet revelations of Abandoned Spaces and the weightless drift of Mitochondria Johatsu into a single, continuous form. What once unfolded in fragments and interwoven vignettes is here distilled into a 60-minute arc—unbroken, patient, and alive—where time itself becomes elastic, dissolving into a slow and...

Hwapo is a work in four parts, based around field recordings from the place of the same name, a tiny fishing port in South Korea. These environmental sounds were processed and combined with electronic tones during a residency at EMS (Elektronmusikstudion) in Stockholm, Sweden.

In Ümlaut’s latest release, Because you are alive, everything is possible, sound becomes an affirmation — a slow, unfolding meditation on the quiet miracle of being. Built from layers of tape loops, gently pulsing synthesizers, and intricate field recordings, the album drifts between the organic and the mechanical. Birdsong and wind mingle with soft percussive textures drawn from the hum of real e...

Living between structured and textural forms, Svalr is a collection of sonic reflections and impressions from a field recording expedition to the remote Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. Built from the sounds of glaciers, fjords, wildlife and human structures, OD’s debut explores the synchronous harmonies of an isolated, extreme and rugged landscape. Each track on Svalr is representative of a day of...

This album marks the culmination of a three-part release series, dedicated to celebrating online collaboration with fellow experimental musicians. The series comprises the following instalments: ·      Familiarity Folded ·      Familiarity Enfolded ·      Familiarity Unfolded Engaging in collaborative writing is a transformative creative practice. Through co-writing and remixing each artist embark...

“Neural Network” is Idiiom’s first solo album, and it stands proudly alongside the works of pioneering electronic vocal artists such as Laurie Anderson. Each track is an improvisation, relying solely on her voice, which she manipulates through effects to create intricate loops and layered vocalisations. Much like Anderson, idiiom transforms the human voice into a multifaceted instrument—one that c...

XII Sound is Alice DeVille whose SITE is the London Underground. “It’s difficult to know when my phobia of the tube began. But at some point, something changed, and I began to experience an increasing dread of the tube. Something about the very shape of it – the enclosure, the beneath the ground feeling, the crush of people – and soon, getting stuck in tunnels even for a few minutes would cause me...

Gregory Geerts creates evocative electronic music encompassing rich melodic content and ambient techno. “Minerals From the Crust” invites listeners on a sonic expedition inspired by the Earth’s layers, meticulously crafted using innovative Euro Rack modular synthesis techniques. The album uncovers deep textures and intricate patterns, hidden sonic jewels found beneath the earth’s surface, transfor...

In Cairn, Düngfelder’s focus on atmosphere and perception meets Beaudoin’s concern with time and memory, creating a dialogue where each sound becomes a trace left for the other to follow. What remains is a series of sonic markers, small monuments to attention, letting listeners linger on in the fragile continuations of sound.

The unpredictable and incredible sonic result of three inspirations, three experiences and three souls with one thing in common, the Southern Lands of the Argentinian scapes by the Rio de la Plata, where they grew up. OdNu, Mi Cosa de Resistance and mRn designed a mosaic of microscopic detail, atmospheric vastness and intimate melodies inviting the listener to stay, like that long lasting hug of f...

“At the beginning of working on this album I had an idea of the feel that I wanted to achieve, but no clear direction. I had a piece which I was experimenting with that captured that feel and sent it to poet, Neil McRoberts, to get his thoughts. He wrote back; “when I put the track on, the initial sounds brought an image to mind of someone moving very carefully in an abandoned and crumbling buildi...

Following in the tracks of Musique de Film I & Musique de Film II, Ümlaut’s new album, Musique de Film III, continues to explore the relationship between sound and vision. As a point of departure, this album presents a new creative direction in the evolution Ümlaut’s unique world. Each of the twelve audio and video tracks were created individually and simultaneously, with an overarching theme of p...

Traditionally a real-time improviser, Thorn applies the same method here: live improvisation, spontaneous structure-building, and experimental mélanges of violin and code. Many of its foggy textures derive from Haze, a tool he developed for generating densely patterned lo-fi soundscapes. A sonic memoir imbued with violin and experimental code, a curious doubling of terms begins at the churning wat...

Central to the practice of remixing and collaborative creation is the principle of relinquishing individual control in favour of collective immersion. Both the remixer and collaborators must adopt a responsive and adaptive approach, prioritizing dialogic engagement with the material and the creative contributions of others. This relinquishment fosters an environment conducive to discovery, wherein...

The act of remixing music and engaging in collaborative writing represents a transformative creative practice wherein existing auditory and textual elements are deconstructed and reassembled into intricate, overlapping layers. It is an intimate process and chance to get close to other artists and their work at a deep level.

Built on layered drones, fleeting percussion, airy melodies, fragments of piano, and richly textured field recordings, the album moves like a single long breath across ten seamlessly woven tracks. Neys constructs shifting sound patterns—overlapping, dissolving, re-emerging—that evoke a place just beyond reach, both familiar and strange. The music never settles entirely, instead inviting the listen...

I usually stay away from using field recordings of birds in my tracks, as I think it is a bit of a trope in ambient music. However, those moments where I sat in the small outdoor space that I have at my house, are very valuable to me and deserve to have a place here. Together with the lines of electric guitar that move in and out of this track.

Filament is taken from "Out of the Blue", Tomo-Nakaguchi’s third album on Audiobulb and marks a significant evolution in his sonic exploration. Meticulously crafting intricate soundscapes from a vast array of audio elements, this album showcases a new level of complexity and beauty. Ranging from serene ambient sounds to aggressive noise, the album takes listeners on an unpredictable sonic journey....

The antithesis of the dry, inharmonic textures of a ping pong ball, pitched, resonant timbres coalesce.

Through an effortless merging of two minds, their respective worlds of sound and experimentation are even further expanded in this new album. During the listening experience thoughts dissolve into open space. Michel’s interplay of instruments, electronics, tiny melodies and grainy decomposed sounds; along with Jeff’s tape loops, atmospherics, fresh textures and micro rhythms, flow seamlessly into...
