The French imprint Melifera Records finishes the year in style with a six-track compilation featuring artists like Launaea, Owl, Javier Salazar, Artos Eleven, Point Of View, and Unknown Artist. The release uses rivers as a leitmotif for each track, unfolding from lush ambient to hypnotic techno towards the end. 

'Endless River', courtesy of talented Colombian producer Launaea, is the second track of the compilation. It epitomes a warm and inviting quiescence of time as lush, shrouded, and melancholic pads float over the subtle low-end and water field recordings with vocal sample reverbs in the background.

The Eighteen Minute Gap

Sonmi451 - A Taste For Vicarious Pleasure

Hot on the heels of their acclaimed second album, Iris, One Million Eyes unveil their latest work, Polaris. This new album is a rich tapestry of analog and instrumental elements, creating a vibrant and dynamic experience.

Formerly known as Tempelhof (where they collaborated with artists like Gigi Masin), Luciano Ermondi and Paolo Mazzacani created One Million Eyes upon the realizing they needed a new creative outlet to rekindle their passion for making music. This new project allowed them to approach their instruments and influences untethered to the body of work and inhibitions of their past. What results is a shimmering, energetic current of organic instrumentation and analog synthesizers that carries us on a meditative journey through interior landscapes.

"Ritus dan mekanisme, kehancuran dan transformasi—album ini merangkai gamelan dengan elemen modern, membentuk lanskap bunyi yang terus berubah. Dari dentingan kawat yang terpotong hingga resonansi gong yang retak, suara-suara muncul dan larut dalam tegangan antara tradisi dan teknologi. Getaran bahan alami dan suara mekanis bertautan, menghadirkan ruang dengar di mana batas organik dan buatan saling menjebol satu sama lain.” (Catu Daya) 

Artist bio: 
Catu Daya is an Indonesian experimental music duo consisting of Yustiawan Paradigma Umar (gamelan) and Yoga Nugraha Usmad (electronics). Their work integrates gamelan with field recordings, ambient, and drone into a performance art practice that emphasizes improvisation, interaction, and spatial engagement. Their music reflects cultural heritage while aiming to expand the horizons of contemporary gamelan, creating an auditory space that bridges tradition, technology, and performativity.

Instruments: rebab Jawa, gong ageng, electronics, field recordings 

All music performed, produced, and mixed by Catu Daya 
Recorded live by Ade Atmaja at Lokananta Studio in Surakarta 
Mastered by Andrea Porcu
