Later

night with you/ночь с тобой

This piece was performed by me last year in Wrocław, Poland. I was invited there as part of the annual Ambientalny Festival. Along with some video snippets from the performance, I wanted to share a few excerpts of what took place. These will soon be available for download as a "subscriber-only" release in my Bandcamp store. Feel free to check it out—I will be activating the "subscription" feature soon.

Joachim Spieth - live at Ambientalny Wrocław (October 2023) - extract

Exploring the water engineering relationship between Japan and the Netherlands across a trilogy of experimental releases, the third and final part of Field Records' Waterworks series is courtesy of Yui Onodera. Pairing delicate synthesis and instrumentation with field recordings and negative space, the accomplished artist and sound architect examines the impact of water engineering on Japan's Kiso Three Rivers. 
 
The location refers to the confluence of the Kiso, Nagara and Ibi rivers on the Nōbi plain in Gifu prefecture. In the late 19th century, Japanese authorities collaborated with Dutch engineer Johannes de Rijke to separate the three rivers at the lower part of the Kiso delta. These extensive improvements, which were finalized in 1912, successfully shielded the city of Nagoya from regular flooding.
 
Onodera's minimalist palette and detailed approach to spatial sound design balances microscopic field recordings and tonally-rich traditional instruments, which he applies with stark focus to the subject of the Kiso Three Rivers across eight extended pieces of music arranged into two distinct parts. The A side's shorter tracks are delicately sculpted miniatures interweaving chiming bell tones, treated guitar impressions and hushed pads. The B side's two longer suites are more overtly minimal in nature, emphasising sampled water sources accented with patient brush strokes of synthesis. 
 
This project is supported by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Tokyo, Japan.

Dub Inversion is a personal take on Dub music by Andrea Deplano, working under his two aliases: L-3P and Ness. Both identities meet here in a conversation across tempos and textures, where Dub’s deep-rooted essence is reimagined through minimalistic structures and spatial experimentation.

From high energy rhythms to slower, more spacious grooves, the release explores delay, reverb, and repetition with a raw yet refined approach. This is not a nostalgic homage, Dub Inversion is a transformation. A split self reuniting through bass, space, and pulse.

A2.Neel - Souls On The Run

This is the correct name on this track. It was all dimmed by the most dark shades and nobody did wrong. Missunderstanding in communication. Projections from the world. Demons. Just. This is the correct one. No blame to put. No games.

Don´t you ever abuse love or the magic given to you by universe. It comes with Karma. And most of us humans knows how it works.

This was created when minds connect and that is where magic happens.
I guess this was meant to be "hidden" in some ways still revealed.

Press Comments [Selection]
n.n.
Minimal Collective (Text: Brent van den Elshout)
In a world driven by volume and spectacle, Cio D’Or stands apart, mastering the power of the barely perceptible. This editorial explores her philosophy of sonic minimalism—where silence, restraint, and nuance challenge conventional ideas of presence in music. Through her creative process, live performances, and the balance between macro and micro perspectives, we uncover how Cio D’Or transforms the ‘power of less’ into a profound, intentional form of presence.

Orb Mag (Text: Cédric Finkbeiner) 
Designer of an instantly recognizable sound, she produces warm and deep complex structures, constantly on a fence between light and dark cliffs, noises and silences, cinematic settings and authentic presence. Part of a family of intricated sounds brought by artists such as Aleksi Perälä, Alva Noto, and Ryuichi Sakamoto, she’s a high representative of the minimal movement. She honors painter and pioneer Frank Stella’s quote “The aim of art is to create space,” she does through deep refined electronic music compositions and stripped piano pieces, delicate yet substantial.
Intriguing and engaging, her musical minimalism invites the listeners to bridge gaps with their thoughts, making them active in the artistic process and, therefore, contributing to the immersive effect. The mental activity is yet effortless for them: minimalism allows a focus on the essentials, by eliminating the dispensable sonic excesses and by creating space. Such a process brings mental freedom to the listeners, by breaking through the wall that a too-dense track would normally build. On the contrary, Cio D’Or’s music is open, and inviting, with an exquisite balance between artistic depth and hopeful, melancholic intelligence.

Monument Podcast (Text: Joe Mayberry)
What’s better than a mix from electronic music royalty Cio D’Or? Two mixes. This week we present something very special, a tale told across two chapters. As a mainstay of techno for over two decades, Cio D'Or has consistently pushed boundaries, gracing the decks of revered institutions worldwide and crafting a legendary discography with releases on Prologue, Semantica, Hypnus, Time to Express and more.
Across both mixes you will hear Cio’s unparalleled ability for sculpting minimalism and sonic architecture, masterfully recontextualizing familiar and obscure tracks alike, breathing new life into them and unveiling hidden dimensions. She dissects, reassembles and creates intricate connections between disparate sounds, all flawlessly executed with an alchemist’s touch.
Prisma 33 starts at a slower tempo, delicately building into an eruption of psychedelic minimalism. Dada grows with kinetic energy, with Cio sculpting sounds and textures into a deep trip where time seems to bend and dissolve, finishing with an unexpected wildcard that only a master selector could make work.

These are my personal rules based on experience and love for music, promoters and audiences:
Set: 2 hours main time, 3 hours at the beginning of a night***
1 hour live (hopefully from Mid 2026)
Live recording:  
a) I love mixes that I perfect at home for an hour, because the idea, dramaturgy and a mix should, ideally, express something and be timeless.
b) there are far too many mixes online ( I prefer quality over quantity ).. 
Deeply thank you for your understanding! Love, Cio ~∆*
