This week a great encounter thanks to TREVE network, we have the chance to have Sulk Rooms, pseudonym of Yorkshire based composer Thomas Ragsdale, the music of Sulk Rooms draws the link between euphoric electronica and smoke engulfed drones. 
Slow-morphing textures sequence and cascade, encapsulating intimate moments of colliding sound amongst fluttering arpeggios and transcending synth builds.

A predominant soundtrack artist included in many of Adam Curtis’ groundbreaking BBC documentaries as well as scoring BBC true crime series, Netflix features and Prada commercials, Sulk Rooms is part of Domino Publishing’s prestigious composer roster.

Atmospheric music for the head alongside the heart, Sulk Rooms' music captures spontaneous audio mirages and saturated imperfections within a crushing backdrop of low end and harmonic ferocity.
Electric soundscapes and rising techno map Sulk Rooms' universe where panoramic pulses fuel adrenaline charged synths to feelings of both wonder and unease.

“Sulk Rooms summons slow moving and portentous drones that feel both elemental and diffuse” - Wire Magazine
“Ephemeral, elusive and gloriously unsettling” - Electronic Sound Magazine

As a professional sound engineer by day, Colin Dunkerley aka Lapsed Pacifist, spends much of his time traveling and rarely gets to focus on producing his own music. Despite high praise from those who have become familiar with his work over the years, Colin’s previous productions have mainly consisted of shares with friends and DJs in smaller circles through his Negative Neutron alias. 

Colin envisaged a more pronounced and darker ambient style to emerge one day but struggled to dedicate the time. Hypatia came to life over an extended and fragmented period, with field recordings and loops of audio created on the go, later processed through his modular setup. In the autumn of 2022, Colin spent time collating and listening to these many fragments and field recordings, making notes in a book as he wandered around cold, unfamiliar places with headphones on, trying to shape disparate starting points into something thematically connected.  

The title of Lapsed Pacifist’s debut album, Hypatia is a reference to one of the many fantastical descriptions of imaginary places by Marco Polo in the book, Invisible Cities. Written as a dialogue between Mongol emperor Kublai Khan and Marco Polo, the book became the inspiration and a clear parallel for how Hypatia came to be and what it means to Colin today. 

Attaching music to a place and time can become a very powerful and long-lasting memory. Across its eight tracks, Hypatia depicts fragmented glimpses of color and textures –a scrapbook of senses– traversing the optimistic first steps; the first smell of cold air; cityscapes burnt into your head; and the many emotions from exploring new places that stick with you longer than any photograph ever could. 

“The experience of moving between places so frequently can be fascinating but also dislocating and often quite lonely. I have so many small stories about places I’ve been, but I often think they aren’t necessarily real reflections of anywhere, no more real than anything Invisible Cities author Calvino dreamt up”. - Lapsed Pacifist.  

Hypatia is available on transparent Copper smoke 12” + digital, mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri and featuring artwork by Noah M / Keep Adding.

Sonic Spells #1 - Entire

Swedish musician Moonilena has been a familiar face amidst underground circles for several years now having released poignant, emotive, sometimes dance focussed music on the likes of Belters and Studio Barmhus amongst others. In fact she actually recorded a mix for us previously.

However, around a month ago we were prompted to explore her new material by a good friend. Music which is removed from the club and explores the deeper, more pensive, fluid tendencies of her musical persona. Her new album ‘Minnet’ is forthcoming on Moloton and sees the Stockholm based audiology student focus more on the intricacies of sound design as she explores ambient textures across the LP.

So, this mix sits somewhere alongside that – an ode to the influences which have helped formulate a new musical perspective if you will.

Lose yourself this Monday in an array of thoughtful sounds.

Ambient Mix April 2024

I don't know if you have noticed, but this week alone, I have already published four exclusive track premieres. It is definitely the consequence of all this music being made in lockdown! Believe me, I do plenty of filtering on all of the incoming requests and only pick the tracks I think that you must hear [I hope I've been discerning for your taste], and even still, the music keeps coming! Oh, wait, I thought I made a promise not to moan about too much music! Okay, well, then, here's an awesome track from a new release by Jeff Rona, whom I found back in 2018 with his Projector album. Rona is a film composer responsible for television, documentaries, and even video game scores. For his latest album, titled VAPOR, Rona sculpts eleven numerically titled tracks, offering a taste of his unique approach to composition. His music carries plenty of cinematic tangents, musical ideas, and atmospheric treatments, perfectly marrying elements of the organic instrumentation (piano in this case) and advanced sound design (some nice and edgy synth on here). Fans of modern electronic sound, where artists bridge the gap between their concept work and soundtracks, will love this music for the film behind closed eyelids.

"VAPOR began as a series of spontaneous improvisations that were sculpted and refined layer by layer over weeks of time – time made more available due to the quarantines invoked in California. As life became more monochromatic, I hungered for color, for new sounds, for a way to express myself as deeply as possible. This music is neither positive or negative in my mind. It’s more about depth, energy, emotion, and our collective internal landscapes." --Jef Rona
