Soft thoughts, hazy windows, still air. Selections are stitched from moments… Waking slow, moving through subtle emotional terrain, then folding into the weight of night.

Every texture here breathes gently. For peace, reflection, and the strange comfort of not needing answers.

Thank you endlessly @duunscape for the invite @cloudyskiesradio has a special place in my heart 𑂅

ROKU041 - Paul Abbott - "OFF STAGE—WALK (B)" from SLIP

https://soundcloud.com/veelargo

We're proud to welcome this electronic maverick to Bricolage with his new album, "Drealusions".

The album sets its stall out from the very beginning and sets the tone for what lies ahead. A collection of organic musical landscapes.

The experimental nature of Veelargo is clear to hear throughout as we experience drifting panoramic ambient jostling with contorted motifs and incisive rhythms. 

Opening track "Baalm" takes us on a melancholic sonic journey as it gently soars into a crescendo and back again. The pace then picks up as we traverse through realms of acid flecked electro, brisk and bustling beats, laser melodies, alien bass and futuristic sound design. The trip goes full circle and we end on the probing and exploratory "Kalk". A dreamscape of a track that floats along and burrows into your psyche.

Drealusions

Veelargo - Kalk (from the "Drealusions" album)

Recorded between March and June of this year, Future Flowers is both a reflection and a rebirth - a gentle yet resolute act of hope from composer Hans Nox.

Some of these pieces have lived quietly for years - written a decade or more ago, resting like seeds beneath the soil. Others emerged spontaneously during the recording sessions, unfolding in real time as Hans allowed instinct and feeling to take the lead. The result is an album that bridges past and present, memory and anticipation - where old melodies find new breath, and improvisation opens unexpected pathways.

“I wanted the entire experience to be more free-flowing, more playful, more adventurous than the usual cautious approach I take to composing,” Hans writes. “Rather than regretting where I’ve been or the paths that led nowhere, I’ve chosen to trust my Savior and strive toward the brightness ahead. Yesterday is gone - tomorrow is coming. How much better it is to pursue confidence and courage.”

That sense of spiritual renewal and creative surrender runs through every note. There is a tender humanness here - fragile piano phrases that pause as if mid-thought, ambient textures that drift like light across water, melodies that carry both ache and affirmation. Even the silences seem to speak, offering a kind of stillness that listens back.

Future Flowers is, in many ways, an album about release - about letting go of the weight of the past to make room for something more open, more alive. It celebrates the decision to move forward with faith and boldness, even when the path ahead is unclear. The music does not rush; it unfolds patiently, like petals opening in the sun - quiet gestures of trust and becoming.

Like its title suggests, Future Flowers invites us to believe in renewal - to tend to the unseen roots beneath our lives, trusting that beauty will bloom again in time.

In keeping with the spirit of the music, this release has been lovingly hand-assembled in a limited Fluid Audio edition, pairing Hans Nox’s compositions with bespoke artwork and tactile design. Natural textures, archival papers, and hand-numbered inserts bring a physical warmth to the experience - each copy a small act of devotion, crafted with the same care and intentionality that shaped the album itself.

Gentle, honest, and filled with quiet light, Future Flowers is not just a collection of songs - it’s a testament to resilience, to grace, and to the faith that something beautiful still lies ahead.

You don’t have to read the press release for Rafael Anton Irisarri‘s latest opus, Points of Inaccessibility, to know all of its conveyed emotion. It’s already all there. That is the power of music when it’s delivered through the heart and mind by an amazing artist. Sure, there is an interesting background behind this work [and one which you can read on Bandcamp anyway], but for me, it doesn’t matter. When I listened to this album for the first time, I was immediately overwhelmed with its immersive poignant arc, and then I listened to it again, and again, and again… until the four pieces became not just the sounds for the story to be discovered later through these words, but they became the sounds for the story of my own, the one where words are not enough, the one that only speaks in music. This music touches something deeply personal, and then these words come out in abstract. But when you read them, you will know at least one thing: they have been written by a human. They have been triggered by a human. And when two humans speak without words, there is a true and genuine connection. One, which we can’t replace with a digital domain. And as we sink a little deeper every day into a world of artificial emotion, remember that you can return to music. Remember that this music is the key.


Points of Inaccessibility came from thinking about how disconnection feels in an age obsessed with connection. We are constantly online, constantly visible, yet we drift further apart. The real distance isn’t geographic anymore, it’s emotional. We mistake connectivity for community. The more we share, the less we seem to feel. This album is about that strange loneliness that hides inside constant communication, a loneliness that hums quietly beneath the surface of everything. The record isn’t nostalgic. It’s about the way the present is haunted by all the futures that never arrived. We live inside systems that promise connection but deliver repetition. Everything loops, nothing resolves.

— Rafael Anton Irisarri


The album is scheduled to be released on February 6th, 2026, via Irisarri’s own Black Knoll Editions. Preorder the beautifully mastered limited edition 12″ by Stephan Mathieu at his Schwebung Mastering, with a bleak yet stunning cover art by Jaco Schilp. Once again, you can grab the digital and vinyl versions directly from Irisarri’s Bandcamp. Don’t sleep on this one.
