"Aqua 6" from Donato Dozzy and Nuel's "The Aquaplano Sessions" 2xLP album, due out March 3rd.

"Aqua 6" by Donato Dozzy and Nuel

The works of zakè always take their time unfolding into rich worlds of detailed, harmonic drone, and on Dolere – his latest for Germany’s Affin – he offers two of his most patient and affecting compositions to date, over a span of 70 minutes. For this study of the ways in which time itself seems to stretch and slow during phases of sorrow and pain, the artist describes an inspiration from the feeling of being “suspended in the weight of emotions we cannot change.”


First movement, “Dolera” (from the Latin dolor, describing anguish), drifts on gorgeous, melancholy waves that encourage total focus and slow, sympathetic breath. It is ensconced in a trademark analog hiss, adorned in the stereo field by sonic streaks of light and the contemplative sound of decayed tape samples, mimicking a mind unceasingly turning over its preoccupations. Nearly album-length in its own right, “Dolera” may act – like many zakè pieces – as a sonic Rorschach Test, equally capable of serving as emotional commiseration, or as the backdrop for the essential inner work of meditation.


The artist states: “This year, my life came to a halt, as if the Spring froze in its tracks; amidst the heaviness I longed for reprieve, and to escape the relentless march forward. These tracks serve as a refuge for those burdened by distraction or sorrow, offering a brief respite from the inexorable passage of time.”


Fittingly the title piece, “Dolere”, is named for the present-tense, infinitive form of dolor. This small but significant linguistic difference echoes the shift in mood from the album’s first half, as a more darkly-tinged drone underscores barely perceptible field recordings of birdsong, and the subtle drama of a glow peeking through somber fog. “Dolere” progresses at a deliberate pace, shifting its hues in the way tree shadows move across a forest floor; the background white-noise hiss builds in tandem as fixation intensifies. The only time entropy wins is when the final notes fade, and we’re returned to the ticking of the clock on the wall.


zakè’s catalog is rich with modern ambient highlights, and Dolere feels destined to become a touchstone of the genre in league with those by artists like Thomas Köner and Andrew Chalk, perfect for those in need of a breath during an era defined by breathlessness.


The partnership in this release is a natural fit, as zakè’s own renowned label Past Inside the Present has worked with Affin’s founder Joachim Spieth closely over the years, and both share the same noble goal of building uncommon sonic spaces outside the mainstream. Dolere is graced with artwork by legendary polymath Markus Guentner, whose own releases for Affin – alongside those of bvdub, Tori Fuko, and Simone Giudice – have helped define the label’s graceful aesthetic.

Aki Himanen and Aleksi Kinnunen - The Void

The night is winding down, the climax has been reached. Smoke fills the spaces in-between dancing bodies as the energy wanes and the slow comedown begins. Often resisted, it’s a challenging time for many but not today as French producer Aiôn Lazura and his forthcoming ‘Biotope’ album strikes at the heart of the matter. As his music provides a soft landing for many a fragile soul through rhythmic downtempo and soothing melodies.

Synthetic Climax, the final track of the album is our premiere for today. Establishing a wonderful mood through melancholic pads, layered percussion lines and textures flitting in and out of focus. Aiôn gives space while providing a path forward that gently guides you to the rest that’s deserved.

Synthetic Climax and the rest of the Biotope release will be out on November 15th.

Dans la forêt il y a des pins qui brûlent
Dans a forêt il y a des pins qui se font dévorer par le scolyte
Dans la forêt il y a des gens qui se battent pour finir de les arracher
Dans la forêt il y en a des gens qui luttent pour les en empêcher

La forêt usagère de La Teste-de-Buch dans les Landes a brûlé ainsi qu'une bonne partie des pinèdes aux alentours durant les incendies de l'été 2022. Depuis, tout est chamboulé pour les habitants, car c'est un lieu qu'ils arpentent depuis des centaines d'années, dont ils utilisent les ressources et prennent soin comme un membre de leur communauté, en regard des droits ancestraux qu'ils ont dessus. Mais les grands forestiers procèdent à des coupes rases, et la lutte administrative et sociale s'organise. Le documentaire d'Alexandre Cartigny retrace cette histoire contemporaine aux travers du portrait et des témoignages des habitants.

La BO que nous avons composé à cette occasion, Thomas Baudoin et moi même, tire sa matière des instruments des Landes, comme la boha, les rhombes, la conque et les tulhères (sortes de trompes en écorce), mais aussi du son du feu, des vibrations des tronçonneuses, et des pépiements des oiseaux. L'énergie de la musique a pris naissance dans ce que nous ont inspiré les images et la BO du film Sirāt, où le désert qui y figure fait écho à cette forêt landaise en péril. Une question de temps ? une seule certitude au bout du compte, ici la forêt reviendra.

" Aci la seuva tornarà" est le thème principal de cette BO, thème dont on a décliné ensuite tous les éléments pour fabriquer la musique du documentaire.

Thomas Baudoin : chant, boha, rhombes, tuyau harmonique, bols, poutres
Matèu Baudoin : chant, clarinette, Arp 2600, programmations, synthés, drones

Enregistré par Matèu et Thomas Baudoin en octobre / novembre 2025
Mixé et masterisé par Matèu Baudoin en novembre 2025
