Holy crap, what a collaboration, not gonna lie, my pants are wetter than they should be. Is it January yet!!!?

With ‘Terrain,’ Joachim Spieth presents the  fourth long player on his Affin imprint. 

The follow-up album to ‘Ousia’ (2021),  ‘Terrain,’ reflects on the human relationship with nature. The album title is  a reference to a musical language that  layers Spieth’s music production practices  and intimacy with nature.   

‘Terrain’ was forged in deep solitude.“ It’s  an interplay of euphoric flashes and introspection” – says Spieth. The eight  compositions take the listener into a captivating cascade of sonic textures resembling internal states fluctuations and  emotional release. The tension between the  organic warmth and static curves broads  tones into liquified roars and empty spaces. 

Unlike Spieth’s previous albums, ‘Terrain’  holds more intimate gestures and emotional  sensibility. Soothing frequencies here are  intended to create a state of awareness in  the listener. It is a work of conceptual and emotional beauty, evoking a form of spatial  imagery that is as grounding as elevating.

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: Re:Axis - Liquid Alchemy [AMR006]

Fragments is the first joint album by Joachim Spieth and Warmth. It brings together two musical characters with an affinity for expansive, imaginary soundscapes and atmospheric compositions. 
Agustin Mena is a Spanish ambient producer and has been operating under his 2 alter egos ‘Warmth’ and ‘SVLBRD’ on the two labels he founded, Archives and Faint. Joachim Spieth has been running the label Affin for almost 2 decades and is a regular contributor to Wolfgang Voigt's Pop Ambient series on the Kompakt label.
The first musical points of contact between the two were in the form of mutual remix projects. This exchange laid the foundation for Fragments, which now reveals the intersections for a sense of space and timelessness. On seven tracks, the album takes the listener on a walk through organic textures and places of longing.
