DR-79 : ENRICO CONIGLIO - Alpine Variations

"The strenuous conquest of the top, the splendor of a landscape that slowly reveals in its dazzling beauty. In his new work, the Venetian based composer, guitarist and field recorder Enrico Coniglio leads us once again among his loved ones mountains: an epic landscape in which enchantment and fear are deeply intertwined. He chooses to do so offering us the sound as a sensory canvas of an imaginary enterprise with deliberately indefinite contours.

"Alpine variations" is a further step in the sound research carried out by the author in a long and complex path built over time inspired by environmental and atmospheric sounds.

A bewitching narrative emerges from the intersection of bright harmonic textures and dense ambient vapors crossed by restless shadows. The individual parts of this narration represent the stages of an ascent that is at the same time physical and spiritual. It is a nostalgic plot that in the partial roughness of its resonances returns the sense of precariousness of a bumpy path, poised between quiet contemplation and impending danger. 

The cinematic approach constantly reveals the genesis of an album originally built on a series of recordings dedicated to the creation of a film sound commentary that finally become an autonomous itinerary. Finally, all that remains is to close your eyes and prepare to face the journey".

Astral Waves - "Tidal Wave of Love" | AltarTechno022

I would like to start this year with this album.

I have been making music alone for almost 20 years now. I would like to thank everyone who has ever purchased or listened to my music, my subscribers, my collaborators, everyone who has criticized as well as praised me, the equipment and electricity I have used to make music, my room, my time, my friends, my family, everything. Thank you so much.

As a token of my appreciation, I would like to release this album for free. Please enjoy it.

I have only one request. For once, for about 40 minutes listening to this album, please do nothing and think about nothing and just be in a daze. We are too busy. We need time to intentionally give our heads and hearts a rest. Once you get into that habit, you will inevitably feel yourself becoming energized again.

I wish you all a very happy new year.

From the very first beat, "Emotional Intelligence" grips the listener with a pulsating rhythm that is both hypnotic and invigorating.

Echoes Of Freedom

Broken Spirits

Shibui is a simple, unobtrusive beauty that expresses original imperfection and intelligent restraint. The track titles are based on various polysemantic aspects of Japanese aesthetics and culture.

Miyabi – elegant, understated sophistication.

Raku – The art of hand-molding ceramics, which allows each piece to have its own unique, rough, uneven appearance and texture.

Wabi – unpretentious simplicity.

Mono No Aware – the sad charm of things.

Iki – an elegant, refined manifestation of beauty that combines seductiveness, composure, and modesty.

Nendouryoku – psychokinesis and telekinesis.

Sabi – archaism, genuineness, authenticity, peace of mind in loneliness.

Sumi-e – monochrome ink painting.

Sayonara is not just a farewell, it is a word spoken when someone no longer expects to meet. It is a farewell forever.

Ambient Cat Remixes, Vol. 1

Missing Space (KapTep Droned Remix)

In Suseti's new album, we listen to beautiful soundscapes produced with long drones and hypnotic sounds created with beautifully crafted pads and vocals.

In the first three tracks, we go from Ice Peak vocals to powerful pads that are more gently and calmly paced and can transport the listener into hypnotic meditative states.

In the other tracks, we descend from the peak into more moody and dark soundscapes but are still very calm and positive where we abandon ourselves into a trance-like state and lose the grip on reality for another 30 minutes.

Suseti (Sunset) project of new-age and ambient music created by Indian producer Sunil Sharma. He started his musical journey in 2010 and found inspiration and deep transformation in the beauty of nature and meditational practices.

Rafael Diogo about 'Where Shadows Sleep':

'Where Shadows Sleep' is a meditative sonic diary, born from my recent journeys across South America and the Middle East & North Africa. It weaves together the contrasts I witnessed — between cultures, faiths, and the presence and absence of the divine. It reflects on what humanity celebrates and laments, offering a space for both solace and reflection.

In the Amazon, the earth hummed in delicate whispers, lush and endless. I captured its heartbeat, learning to embrace medicinal plants, cradled in the quiet power of nature’s embrace. These sacred moments of peace stand in stark contrast to my time in the Middle East & North Africa, where desolation echoes and resilience blooms in the shadow of struggle. These two worlds became sonic prayers, woven mantras of hope-seeking balance in their wake.

Each track began as a field recording, a raw imprint of place and time. Slowly, these elemental sounds transformed, enriched by layers of tape loops, healing instruments, and synths. Together, they form a spiritual vessel — an album that soothes the soul, invites deep introspection, and gently awakens an awareness of the world’s fragility and strength.

Rafael Diogo, known as Deep Dive Sound, is a Portuguese field recordist and ambient composer based in London. He draws inspiration from the stories of diverse cultures, objects, and places, transforming them into soundscapes that resonate with immediacy and depth. His work captures a delicate nostalgia, reconnecting us to the sensory essence of time and memory.

Guided by a passion for travel, Rafael explores remote corners of the world, capturing field recordings that weave a rich tapestry of shifting memories. His compositions reflect a deep connection to ecology, illuminating the fragility of nature while embracing its wonder. Through his music, he creates intimate soundscapes that preserve fleeting moments and forgotten places, inviting listeners to rediscover what might otherwise fade into silence.

In this album, Adrian continues his exploration of tape-saturated sounds combined with piano and vintage synthesizers. The micro-cassette Dictaphone is used to create sounds evoking nostalgia and melancholy.

Desire Paths

The Sun Erases Wet Footprints

Throughout history, alchemists have captivated our minds with their quests to turn base materials into gold and seek the philosopher's stone. Their work was shrouded in metaphor and mystery, embodying a desire to understand the universe's hidden truths. Similarly, this collection of sounds endeavors to evoke the essence of that magical process. Each composition is a carefully crafted distillation of emotions, imagery, and ideas, resonating with the transformative powers attributed to the alchemical arts.

In Alchemies, Paul Beaudoin blends orchestral textures with glitch and noise elements, creating a sonic alchemy that mirrors the ancient quest for transformation. These contrasting sound worlds—organic and synthetic, refined and raw—come together in a seamless dialogue, embodying the fusion of disparate materials that the alchemists sought.

The album weaves through an auditory landscape, transporting you to the Fire of Calcination, where raw elements are purified, or the ethereal Black Sun, where shadows and light intertwine. As you listen, imagine the delicate Golden Transmutation—the alchemical transformation of sound and silence into rich tapestries of experience. Each track is an invitation to engage with the mysteries at the intersection of sound and spirit, reminiscent of the alchemist’s laboratory, filled with curiosity and wonder.

Join Ambient Cat on this journey as we explore the tenets of alchemy through sound, delving into the Salt of the Earth and emerging into the Albedo Phase, where clarity and illumination reign. Each piece is a gateway into an imaginative realm where transformation and transcendence occur—much like the alchemists sought, through their craft, to unlock the hidden potential of the universe.
