"Atlas" marks the culmination of two decades of creative exploration. Over the years, visionary artist Pilot Waves has built an extensive archive of tracks, a hidden treasure trove that has finally begun to surface through a series of carefully curated releases. The work on Atlas embodies a process of digital archeology dedicated to preserving the original recordings and arrangements. Rather than reinterpreting the material to suit contemporary trends, the project seeks to honor the inspirations and motivations of Pilot Waves’ earlier self, offering an authentic window into the creative moments that shaped these tracks.

In Atlas, time becomes fluid. Each composition captures the essence of its origin - precise, raw, and unfiltered - while standing as a timeless artifact of artistic evolution.

Pilot Waves - Sarzano Beat

Pilot Waves introduces the new installment of his sonic voyage. The original recording dates back to 2012: since then the track has been shaped in different forms (as most of the artist's material), ultimately encapsulated in the single "Backward Journey" - a sonic intrigue that quests the evolution of human feelings through the unrelenting passing of time.

Cecca - master of hardware and sonic experimentation - unveils his debut EP: a unique sonic journey, seamlessly crafted to captivate both the mind and the dancefloor. Hypnotic beats and magnetic textures intertwine, carrying the listener far away. 

The EP draws inspiration from the phenomenon of drift in water physics, where, in sailing, balance is maintained by an imaginary yet razor-sharp trail that anchors the boat's forward momentum, preventing it from drifting off course.

Fever Dream Loop

Acido

Pilardelmare - Acido

Pilardelmare submerges themselves into a new musical world, delivering a minimalistic scenic picture of the present. Entirely composed with the modular synthesizer the sonic spectrum used is original yet “classical”, touching upon additive and subtractive synthesized melodies with altered repetition as philosophy of art & observation. Listening to “Fever Dream Loop” is a calming and hypnotizing experience, similarly to those dreams fueled by a high temperature.
