This will be on the new album "Lost and Found", which will be released on the 19th of September (prerelease on the 5th of September on Spotify exclusively). 

About this album: 

"Lost and Found" is a moving and finely detailed album by PNFA, the musical project of German artist Wolfram Gruss. Known for his reflective and atmospheric style, Gruss delivers a collection that blends downtempo, chillout, and trip hop with cinematic and electro-acoustic elements, resulting in a rich, immersive sound.

Most of the tracks are instrumental, unfolding slowly through layered textures, ambient tones, and subtle rhythmic patterns. Each composition is carefully arranged, showcasing a strong focus on sound design and emotional nuance. The music feels organic and spacious, balancing electronic precision with a warm, human touch.

Alongside the instrumentals, the album features several vocal pieces that add lyrical weight and emotional clarity. These songs deal with themes of love, separation, and the emotional complexity of letting go, offering a contrast to the abstract mood of the instrumental tracks.

PNFA’s production style is deeply nuanced, with every detail—from gentle melodies to atmospheric field recordings—thoughtfully placed. "Lost and Found" stands as a cohesive and expressive work, shaped by both technical skill and a strong emotional core.

Rerecording of my sunset set on Saturday evening @ The Big Yeet

Jester @ The Big Yeet 2023

How do we humans process and move through our grief? How do we deal with the fear of the future, the ever-shifting unknown unknowns, the countless wars and atrocities, the very real existential threats to the planet, the depths of despair, the raging fires inside, and the seemingly futile fight to save ourselves from ourselves?  ... 

WE DANCE - We dance fucking harder than our minds think our body is capable of. To dance is to pray, to fully surrender E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G through the holy water pouring from our pores onto the wooden floors. It's the only way I know. And it's an ancient technology that has been around for as long as humanity. 

This dance wave is meant to be a container to allow the frequencies of grief, anger, rage, fear, guilt, sadness and whatever other full-spectrum flavor of life and death wants to come through. Look at it. Be with it. Feel it. Heal it.

Bioni Samp is the creator of this 6 tracks EP, a journey between experimentation and atmospheric ambience.

Press Release: By the Oxbow lakes following the old course, making binaural field recordings. Eventually I reached the river Aire by calculating the sizes of several ancient audio pyramids, with trigonometric functions. Nearby Tom Pudding boats are jostling with the night coal, surrounded by phosphorescence noise wash. The sides of the pyramids are along the four cardinal points of synthesisers, measured with the stars and the rising and setting sun.

Mastered by Andrea ‘Nax Acid’ Ruffino

Thanks to Andrea, Aconito Records Limited and everyone else for their amazing feedback and support in London, Liverpool also in Canada, Sweden, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Spain, Austria and everywhere.

It’s been a long journey to produce this ep/album, over two years on and off, mostly in between performing overseas and ongoing bad health problems. Firstly recording many field recordings and mixing at home with my home-made synths, then balancing the tracks ready for mastering, in my shared soundproofed studio in north London, a short walk from my beehives.

Biog – Short Version
Bioni Samp is an artist, producer and video maker originally from Leeds, Yorkshire. He currently resides in London. He creates experimental electronic music, live and on recordings. He also seasonally works with bees. When not beekeeping, he makes custom audio software and hardware, which he uses in creating his music.

Bioni Samp has been publishing his work since 1995 and has had releases on various labels: Aconito, EMIT (UK) Harthouse (DE) Philtre/Kompakt, Instinct, Minimalizm (USA) RoHS Prod (FR) and Noise Music (BR).

Growing up in Yorkshire to a backdrop of industrial decay next to rural beauty, inspired me to create my own electronic landscapes using cassette, tape loops, bass guitar and a Roland SH-101 synthesiser.

I was influenced and inspired by other Yorkshire locals, Cabaret Voltaire, early Human League, their harsh electronic sound and slide based multimedia live shows.

After studying video and sound in Scotland, it was in Glasgow that I really started to developed my own work and built an early ProTools based electronic studio. Many djing, live electronics gigs and then releases followed.

Over the years I have continued to research and experiment with stereo / binaural, producing recordings and performing live with extreme stereo processing, using mainly my own home made equipment. Recently I have been invited to perform my live electronics in Canada, Sweden, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Austria, Liverpool, and London.

I have recently performed with my 'Hive Synthesiser' at reRooted Festival at Humber Street Gallery, part of Hull UK City Of Culture 2017. Where I also played a DJ set on the last night of the festival.

I like to create something new for each live performance, my sound constantly evolving between ‘ambient / experimental / field recordings / noise / techno‘.

Thanks to Boomkat for the great review of my 2012 release... 

'Bioni Samp makes his solo debut proper with a finely structured, dark and elemental Ambient Techno EP. Hailing from Leeds, he's already appeared on the London-based Aconito label alongside Nax_Acid with the 'Ghost Bus' EP, but this is his definitive solo statement. Stark ambient pieces bookend four minimal Techno rollers. 'Feather Ings' uses field recordings and plunging subaquatic basses reminiscent of Thomas Köner, and the title track sketches bleak atmospheres around a skeletal hi-hat pattern reminding of DJ Skirt at her most isolated. The Techno tracks are equally carefully constructed, from the rippling, offset roll of 'Todays Skyline' to the SAW-like pulses of 'Oil On Canvas' and the ghostly warehouse space of 'Slinky Makes Reverb'. Check!' http://boomkat.com/downloads/538080-bioni-samp-the-island
