"gentle Rain pt.1" was composed during a light and steady rainy day, with the aim of creating a soothing and calming atmosphere. The track was recently featured on Petite Victory Collective's new sampler, HOPE Vol. 1, which explores the realm of electronic ambient music. 

Like many of my previous releases, this track isn't tied to any specific concept or framework. It's more of an exploration. A chance for me to dive into live hardware experimentation and share the mood and vibe I'm experiencing in the moment. It’s all about capturing the present moment. 

Thank you, as always, for taking the time to listen and join me on these sonic explorations!

gentle rain pt.1

Hi friends, as many of you already know, the Atlas Castle adventure came to an end in late 2024. After some time reflecting on a fresh start, I’ve decided to reset my creative journey under a new name: 'cstl'.

Today, I'm happy to share my first sonic experiment: 'city of tears' EP. Stripped to the bone, this live performance embraces a minimal techno aesthetic, almost entirely devoid of traditional musical substance or intent. It's an exercise in restraint and reduction. Just the pulse of a city too tired to weep.

I’d be really happy to have you join me on this new journey. You can find cstl’s new Bandcamp page here: https://cstl-music.bandcamp.com and if you feel like following or sharing, it would mean a lot.

Wishing you a lovely Sunday. G.
