Ambient
black-sided sun – Echogram
Considering the power of the storm we had this evening, it seems like a perfect time to hear some brutally dark ambient music. What’s so special about Black-Sided Sun? First, the composer, Yuri Ilyin, is a Russian who became a Batumi local (this intrigues me as I have no idea Continue Reading
Kilbey Kennedy – Serafina (single)
From their Bandcamp site: “Kilbey Kennedy is the long-standing collaborative project between Steve Kilbey (The Church) and Martin Kennedy (composer and producer behind All India Radio). Since their first release in 2009, the duo has forged a singular sound – an “ultimate convergence of influences, that shimmers with a strange beauty Continue Reading
Ian Hawgood – 朝 (Morning)
I stumbled across Ian Hawgood’s work some months ago, and I ended up quite enjoying it, mainly because of the soft, gentle, natural droning sounds he comes up with. It’s best to read about his methodology below. From his Bandcamp site: “During the first lockdown here in the UK, I Continue Reading
Internal Fusion – Conte de la pensée dernière
Our dear friends at Mahorka Records bestow us a fine album of frighteningly good electroacoustic music, brutal in its tenor. From the label’s Bandcamp site: “Eric Latteux aka Internal Fusion is a dark ambient artist, born in 1964, based in Britany (France). He has been active since the early ’90s Continue Reading
Saba Alizadeh – Rituals Of The Last Dawn

Lia Bosch – Ever Expanding
Lia Bosch, as I understand it, is a sound composer from Italy who has made an album that feels like the soundtrack to my mind these days. It’s quite a dark listening experience, mixing drones, a sort of 1950s B-movie soundtrack vibe, and post-industrial menace. Quite powerful listening, if a Continue Reading
Heathertoes – Ballagàrraidh
My dear brother in music, Heathertoes, has released a great album for rainy-day listening. Elements of dub, trip-hop, and a crunch, almost lo-fi electronic music aesthetic, spice up an album’s worth of brilliant ideas sketched into pleasant daytime listening.
Robert Scott Thompson – Ice and Ember
Blog friend and fine American composer Robert Scott Thompson offers his latest release, one which would qualify as a Mimi-album or EP, but which sounds deeply calming and engaging. From his Bandcamp site: “Ice and Ember is a distilled meditation within my larger body of ambient and electroacoustic work—a 14-minute Continue Reading
Federico Durand – Té De Flores Silvestres
From Federico Durand’s Bandcamp site” “Federico Durand’s music is a weave of sound searching introspection and delight through simple melodies, made in the heart of Argentina. Federico likes music, gardens, John Keats’ poetry, collecting stamps and Earl Grey tea. Since 2010 he has been released on some labels such as Continue Reading
