A LP from experimental sound artist Igor Dyachenko. Featuring contributions from Corell, mu tate, and Nick Malkin the album is a masterclass in textural precision and sonic exploration. With artwork by Yaro Svyatykh and design by Amos Turner, Post Ambient Lux unfolds as one of the most appendix.files-coded releases to date—a record equally concerned with process, perception, and the emotional charge of deep listening.

The album finds focus in its opening track, Melted Reality—a trickling digital stream that gives way to a tidal swell of noise. It's followed by Spectral Tracing, featuring Corell, where this momentum disintegrates and reforms—sonic matter in flux, with molecular fragments melting, colliding, and dissolving again. On Emitting, shimmering vistas seem to generate in real time, like catching up to the edge of the universe and witnessing the raw formation of particles, dust, and energy—enormous and infinitesimal at once. Tangible references dissolve in an instant a million years long. This is an album for the deep thinker and deep listener—as much philosophical as it is sonic. If science fiction were rewritten with the restraint of contemporary minimalism, and stitched into a Craig Green silhouette, this is what it would sound like. On Deviate, the machinery of this imagined space clicks into motion—a dimensional garment assembled in precise layers, operating in intricate order to maintain equilibrium in a liminal zone.

Flipping the disc, we first hear Sensors—where rhythmic consistency hints at orientation, and a sense of direction begins to emerge. Though distractions abound, the path remains porous. Enter Soft Liminal—a moment of surrender where you begin to trust the chaos, and even find nourishment in it. That state of perpetual near-emergence begins to feel less like tension, more like clarity. Involved, featuring Nick Malkin, introduces a familiar tone breaking through the fog—an anchor within the blur—offering reality not as imposition, but as option. Then comes Submerge, inviting a full descent into liquid data, vast fields of signal moving through the nervous system. The closing piece, Sign, gathers these moments with a sense of quiet coherence. This is the wisdom of ambience—a kind of Tao for experimental sound—philosophy rendered as aesthetic, as method, as both catalyst and control.
