Meet Daniel Lawrence, aka Vivid Stars Forgotten, an ambient music veteran whose latest album is a mesmerizing journey beyond traditional soundscapes. Living amidst the dynamic atmosphere of the East Coast, Daniel crafts his music outdoors using only battery-powered analog and digital synthesizers, Tibetan singing bowls, and natural field recordings—no computers involved. This album, dedicated to his son Kai, unfolds from Daniel's dream-inspired themes of teleportation, offering listeners lush, serene soundscapes that transcend the ordinary.

With a background that includes a self-released album as Transport Connection in 2014 and a feature on a Cytoplantastic Records compilation, Daniel's deep connection with the ambient community spans over three decades. Now under the new alias Vivid Stars Forgotten and our sublabel EQ, he continues to explore the subtle, often overlooked tones that shape our subconscious. Each track is a delicate narrative, recorded under the open sky to capture the essence of daytime serenity and the vibrant energy of nature, like in "Okayama" with its streamside melodies, or "Seven Light Rays" and "Easy Teleportation," which promise to transport and transform. Dive into this unique sonic journey and let Daniel's dreamscapes shift your perception of reality.

ALIA & Imagika Om - Madre (Mandala Affect Remix)

@Byzantine-Time-Machine return with a new single in their unique blend of world and electronic music, written in the Maqam (scale) of Nawa Athar. The song is a continuation of the group's conceptual narrative, telling the tale of these scientists' journey to ancient lands as their time machine breaks down and they become trapped in the sultan's palace.

The song is a dance between melodies from the Oud and the G-Clarinet, while an orchestra of other instruments create the context for this showdown. 

Available as a Bandcamp exclusive until June 10th.

"Sci-Fi Lullabies is my homage and love affair to intelligent and thought provoking science fiction and genre literature.  I tried to capture a sense of place in each track and make each one feel as if it was it's own world in an alternate universe.  I dove deep into the modular and analog synths to get a real high fidelity otherworldly sense of sound design and interest".

Bluetech returns to his roots with an album of delicate and intricate downtempo music.  Realized with a collection of analog synths and modular explorations, Sci-Fi lullabies hearkens back to the early Bluetech albums like Prima Materia and Elementary Particles with its hyper detailed and evolving production acumen.

Evoking a classic era of electronic music and realized in an analog domain brings a particular warmth and sense of nostalgia to the tracks, dancing between melodic idm, expansive downtempo and lush ambient worlds.

Created as an homage to science fiction and magical realist literature, Sci-Fi Lullabies establishes eight otherworlds for listeners to explore with open eye dreaming .

Gethen (feat. Yaima)

Nine Branches

Arran Boat Song

Drawing energy from the shifting sands of global music, sonic alchemist Temple Step beckons listeners on a sensory journey through movement, ritual, and binaural sound in his 2020 album, ‘Tribe.’ A fusion of influences bygone and new, this visionary offering invokes the spirit of ceremonial sound as it beams through the lens of tribal electronica and conscious dance culture, incorporating elements of global bass, organic house, emotive downtempo, and shamanic music into a dazzling tale of styles traversing the shapeshifting landscapes of time. Sewn with old-world instrumental work, mesmerising vocals, and surges of deep, undulating bass, Temple Step’s dynamic compositions balance force and elegance with a storyteller’s precision to unearth the magical, healing essence of world music as it bends to humankind’s unshakeable desire to move, meditate, and create across times luminous and dark.
