Nuance

Before the Stars Have Left the Skies is our new winter-inspired ambient journey with Dear Gravity. Featuring ethereal vocals (that hint at traditional Christmas melodies), atmospheric soundscapes with neoclassical touches, and a contemporary ambient production style, the four-track EP aims to evoke the warm, nostalgic feeling of sitting by a fire while watching the vast expanse of the night sky overhead.

Remembering is the second single from Worlds: Collide, and is a collaboration with the incredible ambient artist and producer Async Ross. Gently uplifting and beautifully intimate, this stunning track is a truly reflective listening experience.

Soft as Breath

Well, now... Headphone Commute's Best of the Year feature for 2024 is all done and dusted (I hope you enjoyed this instalment and your wallet is not too sore). I spent the last two weeks unplugging from the world (even as the events around the world seemed to spin out of control), reflecting on the future direction of this platform and the next steps that I intend to take to improve upon our collective sonic journey guided by these honest words on honest music. And fear not, the authentic curation of HC-delivered content that you have hopefully grown accustomed to is here to stay, even as I branch off in a slight detour (more on that later). Meanwhile, to stay true to my words and to prove the above point, I'm excited to share with you this exclusive track premiere by a Stockholm duo of Johan Kisro and Petter Lindhagen, recording under the project name Dött ljus for the always-excellent London-based Slowcraft Records. The music embraces playful experimentation, crossing numerous genres while pairing the album's vibrant energy with soft, moody undertones. This careful balance creates a richly layered voyage, blending sounds in ways that tantalize the brainwaves in just the right way, shaking off the winter clouds and pulling the listener into a warm blanket of sincerity. I think it's fair to say that if it wasn't for James Murray's keen ear for the careful curation of his genre-spanning imprint, I would have never come upon this tender album, and that's precisely the type of connection with the label owners (who put their time and energy into every single release) and artists behind the music that I seek. And now, enjoy the track!

This is what spring feels like in my hometown Berlin - a touch of melancholy, a little hope, a tickle in the nose, a sprinkle of awakening and a dash of boldness! Hope you enjoy my new neoclassical composition!

Love Until The End

The Good Weather For An Airstrike project was initially conceived at the beginning of 2009 to help alleviate the issues caused by suffering from tinnitus, which causes a ringing sensation in the ear and can often result in difficulty sleeping. The idea was to create a collection of relaxing sounds which would help induce sleep. 

His work draws on all of his musical influences and presents itself as a rich tapestry of lulling drones that hints at a diluted form of post-rock.
