London-based artist Vellum Hill wrote the material for Songs for a Scattered Classroom during a month-long songwriting course with Brian Eno. The EP is a direct product of that process — built around oblique prompts, tight deadlines, and a rare burst of momentum. Unlike the artist’s usual years-long pace, these tracks came together in weeks….
Waves is post rock that swaps power chords for clean piano and soft electronics. Inuuro are three longtime friends from Stavanger who still play like one mind. A simple piano figure sets the pace, pads lift the ceiling, and the drums keep a steady spine. The mood points upward, hopeful without tipping into sugar. Midway…
This instrumental piece paints a clear picture of place. Right up front you get wind, waves and seabirds – real outdoor sounds that point straight to Drumadoon Point on the Isle of Arran. The piece works like a postcard: you can hear walkers on the shore, gulls and the distant foghorn, and when the plucked…
“Spring 2025” is the first track in Max Season’s project Cycles, a musical journal composed as the seasons close. Released on the summer solstice, the piece is a way of gently sealing off the spring before it slips from memory. It isn’t about reacting in the moment, but about looking back once the dust has…
Kirsten Agresta Copely has released her new single “Kuruvinda,” and it is unlike anything else in her catalog. While her previous work leaned toward serene beauty, this track embraces contrast. The title, taken from the Sanskrit word for an imperfect ruby, is fitting. This piece doesn’t shine with flawless sparkle. It moves with intent, weight,…
Geo Chandler’s new single “Spent (Edit)” quietly earns its place in the space between classical detail and electronic music. Without leaning on genre clichés, Chandler finds a balance that feels personal, specific, and grounded. Rooted in piano arpeggios and a subtle, driving beat, “Spent” is a reflection on exhaustion — emotional, physical, or both. There’s…
Rome’s Solo Artist Turns a Memory into Music That Speaks Without Words There’s a kind of restraint in AfterGlow Bridge that’s rare. The single from Indomitus Pax, a solo composer and producer based in Rome, doesn’t build with bombast or collapse into cliche. Instead, it unfolds gently, like someone turning over a memory in their…
There’s something unshakably honest about ALIVE, the seventh full-length album from Toronto’s John Puchiele Ensemble. It doesn’t beg for attention or over-explain itself. Instead, it lets its presence settle in slowly—ambient, orchestral, and deeply personal. The album unfolds like a quiet conversation between strength and vulnerability. Some of the compositions are scored, while others lean…
“Frameworks” is a collection of four tracks that shows a clear mix of different influences, and it’s refreshing to hear how they all come together. The composer, producer, and guitarist behind this release brought in a few key collaborators to help shape the sound, including bass players Alex Burak and Matt Copson, who both bring…
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. This isn’t…
