this is almost a month old, but hadnt got round to making it public. made from field recordings, synth, unplugged electric guitar - most of the sound comes from convolution reverbs using the field recordings as impulse responses (thats what is creating the harmonic resonance)

I'm putting together a new set to pitch for next summer: I'm exploring the theme of "empty spaces" through the medium of ambient and drone soundscapes. 

Each segment is made up of four parts: a field recording of an empty space, a granular synth pad, a synthesized drone, and some improvised guitar. The idea would be to combine several of these segments with some projected video (think photos and video of liminal spaces) to create a 30 minute set.

Let me know what you think. Does this sound interesting as an experimental set at say, Sound Symposium, MUTEK, etc.? Is there enough substance to the idea, and the demo?

Yohaku No Bi: The Beauty of Empty Space (demo)

Felt Sleep

Gentle textural soundscapes trace the quiet shift in season, evoking warmth, stillness, and the beauty of impermanence. A sonic reflection on the passage of time, memory, and the subtle charm of change.

Christoph Vogel (Ghostloop) about his album: “It’s a collection of nine ambient pieces — soundscapes shaped by personal moments and quiet shifts I experienced over the past year, many of them spent in nature.

I worked with field recordings I captured during that time, letting them carry traces of place and memory. While writing, I also began building my Eurorack modular system, slowly integrating its sounds into the tracks as they took shape.

'Almost Autumn' reflects a quiet cycle of the year — the slow transitions, inner stillness, and changing atmosphere that come with time passing”.

Christoph Vogel, known as Ghostloop (Germany), weaves immersive soundscapes shaped by the serene rhythms of nature. Drawing from the ambient textures of field recordings and grounding them with deep, fluid basslines, his compositions echo the quiet moods of Northern Germany and the Baltic Sea coast. Rooted in a deep sense of place, Ghostloop’s music invites listeners to pause, drift, and sink into gentle, emotive layers of sound.

Almost Autumn

Routines Remain

winedark by rosewither and Natalie Hogue is a collaborative effort which explores the dualities between harmony and disorder. A resonant chorus of tornado sirens, lawnmowers, and car horns, winedark explores nature in both its violent and serene states; nature as something revered and beyond control; nature of the world and of the human.
