Zurich-based artist 59 Perlen delivers something raw and unfiltered with Zerfall, a five-track ambient album recorded live in one take at The Synth Club. No edits, no overdubs—just the Soma Lyra-8 running in real time, letting the music unfold naturally. The result is unpredictable and immersive, shifting between hypnotic calm and uneasy tension.
