KapTep is the ambient\drone project from US-based producer Derek Carter. (Sullivan, Illinois). His compositions are a blend of synth layers, loops, effects, and field recordings with the intent of creating an ever-evolving soundscape. The concept behind the KapTep project was to try creating the style of emotional music that he wanted to listen to himself. Every track should evoke an emotion to which you can write your own story. Rain, static hiss, pops, and crackles are often the foundation layered under melancholy, dreamy compositions.

Chitra Podcast #13 Ambient Mix by KapTep

Experimental ambient music label.

Surreal music for a deep listening experience.

Chelidon Frame is an experimental electronic music project that mainly works with field recordings, radio interferences, guitars, and processed sounds.

His installations are experience-based and suggest a dialogue between the location (both virtual and physical) and the sounds proposed, aiming to deliver a message in the simpler yet most effective way. The use of code, data analysis, and data-driven sounds, allow information to be experienced anew. 

In his studio works and live sets, different layers of sounds - guitars, synthesizers, and custom-made instruments - pile up creating unexpected new soundscapes. He is the founder of the Asynchronous Drone Orchestra.

Dionisaf is an American multi-instrumentalist, ambient sound and visual artist, composer and producer. Founder and general manager of Chitra Records and its divisions. In his music, Dionisaf combines modular and granular synthesizers, electric and acoustic guitars and other instruments, field recordings, non-musical sounds and noises. 

Dionisaf equally successfully addresses Eastern and Western musical traditions, and experiments with modern technologies, AI, and sound production methods.
