Emmanuel Witzthum & Benjamin Miller - Shevarim (Fractures) For brass quartet (2024)... The shofar, an ancient horn traditionally fashioned from a ram’s horn, has long functioned as an instrument of signal, rupture and resonance. Across centuries, its raw and unstable timbre has carried associations of warning, remembrance, awakening and return. Rather than focusing on its liturgical role, Shevarim...

A new collaborative album by Sainkho Namtchylak and Mirco Magnani. 
Beyond Fine Lines is a deeply introspective and evocative album that explores the boundaries between life and death, light and darkness, chaos and stillness. Blending poetic and symbolic texts with immersive, ethereal soundscapes, the record unfolds as a contemplative journey into the emotional and philosophical depths of the huma...

There is a point at which something familiar begins to dissolve... Not all at once, but slowly, a quiet erosion. Edges soften. Meanings drift. What once held form becomes uncertain, and in that uncertainty, something else begins to surface. Benzalkonium inhabits this threshold. Across two discs, EPIMYTH traces a landscape of pressure and distance, not as narrative, but as presence. The work does n...

There is a quiet moment as winter begins to loosen its grip, when the frost softens, the light lingers a little longer, and time seems to gently unfold. With 'Piano Distance', Japanese composer Nakamura Hiroyuki invites us into that fragile threshold between seasons. A pianist, composer, and visual artist working at the intersection of acoustic instrumentation and electronic processing, Nakamura’s...

Fluid Audio is proud to announce the forthcoming release of 'Batiledhu', a new work by Aaron Martin. Composed for a quietly enigmatic film shot in Sardinia, Batiledhu unfolds as a deeply textural and contemplative body of music, existing both in service to the moving image and as a standalone meditation in its own right. Co-directed by photographer and filmmaker Nicol Vizioli, the film inhabits an...

Too many new worlds had been discovered; there was a latent wish not to find anything more. Over the reports of explorers on land or on sea there lay a sense of disappointment, an unlocalized pain of vast distances more important than anything to be found beyond them. - Robert Cantwell Kirill Nikolai is a Ukrainian American composer currently based in Seattle. Solennelle marks his first new music...

Fluid Audio is proud to present 'arthur & jeremias', the forthcoming album from Danish composer and sound artist øjeRum - a quiet, introspective work named after two characters from The Castle, Franz Kafka’s unfinished and haunting novel. Like Kafka’s world, 'arthur & jeremias' exists in a space of uncertainty and longing. It drifts between presence and absence, where meaning is sensed rather than...

Fluid Audio presents 'Broadcasting From Nowhere', the debut album from Ondelunghe, a collaboration between Tokyo-based multi-instrumentalist Hiromu Yamaguchi and Italian composer Guido Lusetti. Conceived not through physical proximity but through distance, correspondence, and quiet exchange, the album feels like a message transmitted across frozen air-intimate, fragile, and partly obscured by stat...

Recorded between March and June of this year, Future Flowers is both a reflection and a rebirth - a gentle yet resolute act of hope from composer Hans Nox. Some of these pieces have lived quietly for years - written a decade or more ago, resting like seeds beneath the soil. Others emerged spontaneously during the recording sessions, unfolding in real time as Hans allowed instinct and feeling to ta...

Gray Acres has always been a space for subtlety and restraint, distinct from the denser, more cinematic atmospheres of Hotel Neon. Where that project often explores process, technique, and narrative arcs, Gray Acres tends to be produced "in the moment" and stays still. It lets you think for yourself. Soft Erasure especially embraces that characteristic stillness. This is the first full-length Gray...

Fluid Audio announces 'Series Of Room', the quietly moving new release from Italian composer Grotta Veterano. Mastered by Ian Hawgood and featuring cover artwork by Danish artist Øjerum, the album offers a deeply introspective journey through sound, memory, and emotional architecture. Initially recorded as a series of private piano sketches - “written improvisations, controlled sketches” - the tra...

Fluid Audio presents Giulio Aldinucci & Matteo Uggeri - The Promise of a Threat coming soon on Fluid Audio... In The Promise of a Threat, two veteran composers of ambient and electroacoustic music - Giulio Aldinucci and Matteo Uggeri - converge on a collaborative terrain that is at once intimate and immense, reflective and unsteady, beautiful and unsettling. Created between June 2021 and early 202...

Tament is an exploration of sound as both memory and possibility-an attempt to blur the boundary between the concrete and the imagined, the heard and the felt. This album is born out of an ongoing curiosity: what kind of dialogue can exist between the raw, unfiltered audio of the everyday and the abstract sonic worlds we construct through synthesis and production? At its core, Tament weaves togeth...

This album is the culmination of an ongoing exploration of musical and sonic concepts, including mutation, evolution over time, generative patterns, sampling and re-sampling. Several tracks from the album have been performed, presented, and utilized in various formats, such as concerts, performances, or installations-either in their entirety or specific sections. The six tracks represent the disti...

'Petrichor' is the third studio album from long-time collaborators James Osland and Andrew Heath, and serves as a natural continuation of their creative partnership following the release of Elysian Fields (2024), also on the esteemed Fluid Audio label. The two artists were initially brought together by a shared admiration for each other’s work within the ambient music community. Andrew Heath is an...

Blurstem’s 'Remnants and Whispers' is an album of memory-of echoes and fragments, of moments gathered and reshaped, of the past carried gently into the present. Released on Fluid Audio, renowned for its exquisitely crafted physical editions, this collection of soundscapes and textures is imbued with nostalgia, intimacy, and the quiet weight of time. The album weaves together the delicate and the v...

Originally, both of these long form tracks served as the basis for sound baths I performed for friends and families. I would hit play and then make some sounds in the physical space, focusing on objects in the environment (rustling the leaves on a bush, hitting a metal fence with a stick, clicking stones, etc). I always intended for these tracks to also be able to hold up on their own, so here we...

The Moorish Shield is a subjective navigation. The main beacon on this poetic and haunted route is a villa from the beginning of the twentieth century, called La Mauresque, located in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, on the French Riviera. Its owners (past and present), its location (nested at the end of the cape, almost invisible…) and the spirit of this place (where, through the ages, the stunning beauty...

A New Musical Journey for Sleep and Meditation... Prepare to embark on a transformative auditory experience with the release of 'Musquy (dream)', a groundbreaking composition designed to accompany moments of sleep, meditation, and deep relaxation. Crafted with intentional gentleness and an unparalleled sensitivity to the human spirit, this music serves as a gateway to release and renewal. Emmanuel...

The Acceptance Cycle: This is a bit easier to write about as it’s essentially a conclusion to The Sound of Someone Leaving album. That album was about loss in many of its forms. 'The Acceptance Cycle' (like its title suggests) is about the cycle you go through in reaching acceptance. The final track (Cycle Seven) has an element of acceptance about it, with the preceding six tracks taking the liste...

The 'Noise Print' project began from a desire to create deep, earthy textures. I had an image of walking along a narrow forest path and being very present in the moment. For this album I changed my usual approach by setting a one-hour time limit for each studio session. As soon as I set this limitation my ‘chattery brain’ started stirring up doubts about my ability to work under these confines- an...

And now, looking down on us from heaven, you will find the peace you deserve and you will be reunited with dad, uncles, cousins ​​and some of our friends... I offer these sounds so that all of you can connect and celebrate the beautiful memories of the past. I will never forget you brother, I will never forget you family... In memory of Nacho Galán "Jaula" Music composed by Pepo Galán, with contri...

Taken from the upcoming album 'Wave Particles', released through Fluid Audio... 'Wave Particles' is a project that holds special significance for me. It delves into my ongoing fascination with the intricate interplay between nature, consciousness, and technology. Throughout the year, I've had numerous opportunities to explore these themes. I've become particularly intrigued by the role that resona...
