Here is the 50th release of Drone Works International: "Drone Signals" by Kraut Sounds with the support of the Munich Drone Connection (Deep Tremolo Sustain, Velo di Nebbia and Linearwelt), who contributed sound pieces on four tracks.

"Drone Signals" is a direct follow-up to the albums "Drone Scapes" (2018), "Spaces" (2019) and "Stills" (2023). On the seven tracks, Kraut Sounds once again presents his vision of modern ambient drone music. From the epic opening track "Drone Signals" to the elegiac closing track "Dream Machine", it is a journey through meditative and floating soundscapes filled with rich ambient sounds, freeform electronics, captivating drones and hidden subliminal melodies.

09. Kraut Sounds - Deep Forest Sounds

A four minute extract from the new piece of Ambient by label favorite Milieu. Ever evolving, and looping in on itself this piece of Ambient.

Milieu - Father Of Waters (Excerpt) Out Now!

"Balance" is a new five-part album by US artist Blanket Swimming, with a focus on minimalism by exploring the limitations of a single instrument. Each track was recorded live in a single take, with the only sound source being the Critter & Guitari Organelle and effects pedals.

"While this is perhaps one of my most minimalistic albums to date, each piece offers rich and calming textures that when leaned into, reveal tranquil worlds of infinite exploration and solace. As referenced in track 4, the album as a whole takes inspiration from the idea of there being five elements - air, fire, water, earth, and spirit. When all five are in balance, a sense of wholeness and oneness emerges. It is this feeling that I tried to tap into with these pieces." (Blanket Swimming)

Tracklist:
1. It Is The Wind / 2. Ordovician / 3. Antarctic Ice Shelves / 4. The Five Elements / 5. Global Ocean
