pwalters62 Magnifique, comme toujours

Julian Richardson Very relaxing. Just what I needed!

Dark Sines / Taylor Proffitt Tom returns to longform ambient with gristling field and tape textures after Eidetic, which was an incredible collection songwriting, the other side of this project. I've listened over and over.

about

An improvised hour of guitar, bells, voice, piano, tape and field recordings created live at my home studio La Berceuse (Brooklyn, NY) on a chilly night, with a cat snoozing on the chair next to me.

Posted as a pay-what-you-wish release with the aim of defraying some steep medical bills following a hospitalization in August 2023.

Thank you so much for anything you might be able to offer. <3

NUNU
by Clever Austin

An album for any time of day, as far as I'm concerned -- meticulous treatments and an impressive degree of detail for something that could still be called 'minimal'. Benoît Pioulard

Limitless Frame
by Ulla

Ulla's knack for combining wildly different textures into something so perfectly cohesive, is a constant wonder. I wish this record were 10 hours long. Benoît Pioulard

Online Architecture
by SYMBOL

Chris is a master of mood, and his solo work is some of my favorite music of the past decade.. drifty and melodic, and always with a healthy analog glow. See also "I Am Humble and Powerful". Benoît Pioulard
