ambient spring 2025

Somewhere lurking under the last leaves on the ground, squirming and squelching with the mycelium and microorganisms, we find Timnahs sonic world tucked away in a sacred place. Taking inspiration from the natural world, she has solidified a name for herself as a purveyor of psychedelic rhythms and carefully curated cacophonies. As a resident at the renowned Elysia club in Basel, she has honed her skills further and expanded her sound into ambient and experimental territories. 

This edition of Unrush is a testament to Timnah's ear for the uncanny and sense for crafting a dynamic narrative. Solemn drones guide us like a soft breeze into the winter months, only interrupted by washes of organic textures and subtle electronics. We hope you enjoy this masterful mix from one of Switzerland's finest.

This month, we are delighted to welcome Vinsen, based in The Hague, to our series. Slowly and steadily, he’s been crafting a musical realm that drifts between heartwarming melodies, textured soundscapes, and subtle grooves. His mixes and DJ sets reflect a deep passion for storytelling, drawing inspiration from fantasy worlds, sci-fi books, and the everyday beauty of life in his city.

This particular mix was recorded mostly at the enchanting Above Below festival in the UK, surrounded by rolling hills, a gentle brook, blooming trees, and birdsong—a setting that felt straight out of a fairytale. Inspired by the magic of the landscape, Vinsen brought that dreamy atmosphere to The Coombe, the festival’s special ambient stage. The final version has been subtly adapted for a more intimate and conscious listening experience at home.

This recording is from the first edition of L’Appuntamento, a series of open-air listening sessions initiated by Villa Lontana Records and Donato Dozzy in Rome. Each gathering pairs a vinyl set by Dozzy with a live electroacoustic performance by a new-generation artist.

In this first edition, held in the garden of Villa Lontana, Donato Dozzy opened the evening with a selection of minimal, folkloric, and acoustic-rooted records — setting the tone for Verde Prato’s live performance.

L’Appuntamento is an ongoing invitation to pause, tune in, and share time through listening. 
Next appointment is Thursday 26 June 2025 with Ange Halliwell.

To celebrate the arrival of autumn, we're thrilled to introduce the new Deep Breakfast mix by Skander Jaïbi - a warm and comforting soundscape perfect for the season's crisp mornings and cozy afternoons. Let the sounds be your soundtrack to the first weekend of fall.

Skander Jaïbi is a Tunisian and Dutch composer, audiovisual artist, curator, and science educator. He holds a Masters degree in the philosophy of physics is one of the founders of Uncloud festival. His medium of choice is often sound. His works range from a strong focus on the use of field recordings and archival material to creating compositions that may or may not integrate such recordings.

About the mix he said:
"This sonic journey meanders between music with voice as a central element, heavily layered ambient worlds, and more direct compositions that feel otherworldly. A big part of the selection comes from albums I've been listening to often and attentively this year. By curating tracks in an almost radio-style fashion, I've tried to create a journey that lets each piece shine in its own right. It opens and closes with two tracks from my debut album, released this year on Uncloud Editions."

Tracklist:
1. Skander Jaïbi - II
2. Rafael Anton Irisarri - Persistence
3. Eveline Ypma - Strand
4. Claire Rousay - iii
5. Carmen Villain - Nutrition
6. Near Stoic - A Cute Little Nest to Land (Forthcoming on Uncloud Editions)
7. Cucina Povera - Kurki
8. Faten Kanaan - Mist & Madrigal
9. Oliv Oliv - Remember my Name
10. Fadi Tabbal - (keep beating)
11. Akira Rabelais - Du Côté De Chez Swann - Il Y a Bien Des Années ... Dans Le Silence Du Soir
12. Arash Akbari - You Were Real
13. Sara Persico - 10 34°26’14”N 35°49’24”E
14. Nicolas Jaar - I, you
15. Skander Jaïbi - VIII
