Ambient Cat Remixes, Vol. 1

Shimmering Lights (Le Code Remix)

Experimental ambient music label.

Surreal music for a deep listening experience.

Chilldabeast is the downtempo alter ego of Will Glazier, one-half of the acclaimed live-electronic duo Willdabeast. Where Willdabeast delivers high-energy brass-infused bass music, Chilldabeast explores a more introspective and chilled-out side of the sonic spectrum, blending lo-fi textures, mellow grooves, jazzy horn lines, and downtempo electronic beats into a soulful, cinematic experience.

Rooted in trumpet-forward compositions and lush beat production, Chilldabeast is both a personal and creative outlet, a space to breathe, reflect, and dive deep into the emotive potential of sound. What started as a side-project quickly evolved into a full-bodied creative voice, giving fans a soundtrack for quieter moments, late-night drives, and headphone reveries.

Although born from the same musical mind, Chilldabeast stands apart with its own identity, a tranquil counterpoint to Willdabeast’s maximalist energy. It’s music for winding down, for feeling fully, and for finding the beauty in subtlety.


a side project of the chillest intent.

Edoardo Gastaldi, born in 1998, is an award-nominated film-music composer based in Venice, Italy. 
His style combines slow piano lines with deep ambient atmospheres. In his creations, the frontier of repetitive post-classical minimalism meets deep compositional ambient layers, leading his arrangements to become a philosophical thread of condensed melancholy and sparse hope.
After several years of music studies, which provided him with formal training ranging from classical piano to music theory, in the summer of 2021, Edoardo started publishing his compositions and productions.
The influence of 17th-19th century pianists and the fascination for experimental edges make his music an ever-evolving equilibrium among Modern Classical, Ambient, and Post-Rock subgenres.

Gastaldi's philosophical approach is inspired by the sounds of foundational artists including Johan Söderqvist, Hammock, Tony Anderson, Leonard Petersen, Atli Örvarsson, Stephen Porter, Ronit Kirchman, Sigur Rós, John Cage and Nils Frahm.

Edoardo’s work deeply reflects his desire to explore human fragility, paradoxes, and the complexities of existence. Over time, his soundtracks were described as capable of delving into the big consequences and underlying roots we can’t avoid.

In 2024 Gastaldi scored the soundtrack for the multi-award-winning short film “Etilismo”, a story that delves into the sensitive issue of chronic alcoholism in youth.

I started playing around with digital music creation in my early twenties, but I have always been haunted by a quote from Theo Parrish who said that he is "not comfortable with convenience replacing artistry", meaning that you need to put effort into learning and mastering the skills in order to bring something good. I studied computer science and have a passion for logics and programming and somehow my lack of any musical background has kept me from publishing any of my works.

Many years later I got inspired by an interview with Thomas Fehlmann where he explained how the focus in his work is not on the result so much but on the process itself. How the process is a "source of expression" and something he just feels he has to do. This resonated with me and I realised that it's ok to be an autodidact in music and it's ok to make music just for the sake of making music. I make music for me and if you, dear listener, like it along the way I'm very happy about that.

I am inspired by nature, natural processes and the interaction we have with them. Organic asymmetric fractal patterns that are rooted in logic but unpredictable as they express. How a particular stormy night can affect the shape and growth of a plant for years to come.

I use Bitwig Studio to create my tracks.
