horizonte
*300 copies limited edition* Funcionário delights in the freedom of creating freeform music for the first time in his career. On “horizonte”, he loosens the reins, his sound follows a wavy, organic structure rather than a rigid, formal one. If it feels freer and more colourful, that’s because it truly is. Eight years ago, when we first encountered his work, he was composing soundtracks for imaginary video games and crafting sonic landscapes that felt like destinations for sci-fi anime characters…

Wave Field
Digital album is the 2025 Edition, available on CD. Wave Field, released in 1995, was a departure from the first album into new composition methods involving the dirty textures of rock guitar, sounding in the open ears of many listeners (like Jim O'Rourke, who issued the disc in the US on dexter's cigar) as a synthesis of disparate elements — a nexus where Alvin Lucier, Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine and Eno blend together. Here, the clangorous potential of the guitar was emphasized, giving a …
Mega Mercy
*300 copies limited edition* Manchester’s sferic label return with a debut from ungoogleable Greco-Canadian anomaly Anastasia Patellis, aka Any, featuring additional instrumentation and co-production from Klein/Lolina cohort LA Timpa. It's a set of "squat pop" experiments that thread nocturnal soundscaping and pop hooks through hallucinated outlines written on harp and broken synth.
Greco-Canadian artist Any was bedding down in a Cretan squat when the album's title, μέγα ελεός in Greek, boomed …
Earth Mother Spectral Pilot
Bristolian artist, illustrator and toymaker Ed Cheverton debuted as Earth Mother Spectral Pilot with a cosmology-inspired melodic ambient album on SWIMS. We are now treated to a long overdue re-release. Known for his features in publications like It's Nice That, Juxtapoz, and The Guardian, Cheverton widens his creative scope to music via a project that borrows its title from a series of comics of his. Influenced by ambient and atmospheric soundtracks, one can hear the connection to Kawai Kenji, …

Streben
This is the original soundtrack by Streben RPG. The musical ensemble called Gnoll locked themselves in a damp medieval castle and pressed the "on" button on their synthesizers. This is the result: a twilight album that takes you to the foggy lands of central Europe in dark times, lands dotted with gloomy castles, ancient monasteries and forests where no one dared to venture. Inside the cassette is included an unpublished mini-adventure module for Streben RPG. Enjoy the dark medieval times of Str…
Serate Jazz nel Deserto
Tip! Tip! Tip! There is a place on the edge of the desert that is a refuge for broken hearts and lonely souls: Bar Mirage offers its customers the best cocktails in the entire desert, which know how to inebriate the palate and refresh the soul.
Every regular has his favorite cocktail and each of them has some sorrow to drown in it: there is Sir Brummel, the old boatswain, lost in his memories of youthful exploits; at the counter there's Lady Brigitta, the retired fortune teller, who chats animat…
No Wind
Tokyo-based Rhucle, aka Yuta Kudo, has been crafting sublime ambient for more than a decade and in all, there have been over 70 works that blur the line between synthetic sound and the natural world. Using soft synths, delicate piano lines and field recordings from everyday life, he crafts gentle, immersive compositions that invite introspection. Each track unfolds slowly in its own time and is shaped by the textures of the moment, whether that's passing rain, distant voices or subtle room tone.…
Destruction
Destruction marks something of a new direction for Reuben Sawyer as he fuses clear, direct vocals with ambient textures. This latest album from the musician and visual artist meditates on destruction and rebirth while reflecting on the tension between enduring natural forces and fleeting human constructs. It opens with themes of nature's resilience and humanity's relentless desire for novelty, then gradually explores the collapse of civilisation and is inspired by Bill Fay's Who Is the Sender. I…
Winds Of Eternity
Following releases on labels like Inner Islands, Home Normal and Muzan Editions, Japanese composer and sound artist Kenji Kihara is back with a new album that expertly channels the tranquil surroundings of his coastal hometown, Hayama, which is nestled between sea and mountains. What comes out is an immersive ambient work that is indebted to nature, marbled with field recordings of rustling leaves, waves and birdsong, and serene compositions that exude warmth through meticulous tonal layers. His…

Machine Milieu
The Machine Milieu project consists of two autonomous dynamical systems, independently developed and designed to interact between them through the environment. In bio-cybernetic terms, the two are situated signal processing networks "structurally coupled" through the medium of sound only. Sound is the interface. By influencing (driving, supporting, inhibiting) each other’s behaviour, each system also acts back upon itself, but through the other and the local room acoustics. Accordingly, the proj…
Oasy
Circuits reveal a curious syntax on “OASY”, where Stefan Schneider unravels the irregular regularities of machines. Under his intuition, diverging rhythms coalesce under a cohesive cadence. Synthesized thought-loops emerge from a random access memory, appearing in various forms from jittery blips and rumbling haptics to whirring drones. His approach draws from cities such as Lisbon, Accra, and Osaka, where sonic streams come all at once from unpredictable directions. The polyrhythms coursing thr…
Lullaby’s From An Unlanguaged Underneath
The break is over, it’s getting kashual again, while all that plastik enters the brains of migrant birds. Yet, the music will continue. At the edges. There, where innovative societies form. Anti-profit units, uniting to get back open fire energy for crisp seminal poetry. Wormhook from Glasgow can foster such. With unpolished arrangements, where keyboard sounds create keyboard sounds, whilst organ magic witches, contra punctuated by beauty noises from several voices. They sing like Anohni, after …
