Name: Fornax A (from Music For Black Holes) by Jeremy Bible in c u r i o u s
Duration: 16 min 18 s
Description: A four hour sound bath of pure tone minimalist ambient symphonics for withdrawal, isolation, contemplation, meditation, transcendence, intimacy & sensuality. "Music For Black Holes" came together out of pieces from Jeremy Bible's private archives compiled to aid in meditating his way through a challenging period of transition. A map to guide one through the vacuum of space & time.

In the memory of the ocean drifts a continent that has dissolved into silence.
Mu lingers as echoes: transparent dances carried by waves, refrains returning like tides.
Each piece is a dream traced in mist, a spiral folding into depth, a voice suspended in water.

To listen is to move with this hidden choreography — gestures rising and vanishing like phosphorescence in the dark.
What remains is purity glimpsed in passing, a resonance that unfolds again and again, never ending, always returning.

The tonal centers of the cycle ascend step by step: F, G, A, B, C, D, E.
It is the skeleton of a Lydian mode — a ladder of brightness.
Yet every piece is minor, shaded and submerged.

The paradox becomes the voice of Mu:
architecture of light, veiled by water.
What should rise as radiance drifts as memory,
each step a fragment refracted through the ocean’s depth.


Ritournelles of Mu follows the clarity of sound shaped by limits.
Each phrase is drawn with restraint, every resonance distilled to its essence.
The music is crystalline, sufficient, exact — a space where nothing is missing and nothing exceeds.

The pieces return endlessly, folding the moment back into itself.
Repetition becomes a form of eternity, and the ocean remembers through these echoes.

Silence

The Hole You Left by Siegfried Jünger unfolds in slow waves of ambient drone and melodic electronic texture. Ethereal tones drift through empty space, building an elegiac calm that feels both intimate and distant.
Like early Aphex Twin meeting Jónsi & Alex, it balances warmth and melancholy — a quiet meditation on absence and memory.
From the album Absence, this piece sits where emotion meets atmosphere: slow, minimal, and deeply immersive.

For fans of: Aphex Twin, Jónsi & Alex, Ben Frost, Max Richter

"It's just incredible" – Mary Anne Hobbs, BBC 6 Music
“Strangely upbeat nocturnes" – The Wire

‘Spells’ merges programmed piano pieces with live instruments, combining the controllable technical world and the often unpredictable aspects of live improvisation. In some ways it continues where his underground debut ‘Gravity’ left off, though a lot of weight is lifted, making room for a lighter and more energetic listen. Friend and fellow Erased Tapes artist Nils Frahm mixed and mastered both albums. Ben is not a master pianist like his dear friend, but his sound collages are so meticulously designed that after hearing the result an impressed Nils declared: “from now on, if anyone asks – this is a real piano”. 

His intricate, humanised programming – enhanced by drummer Achim Färber, cellist Anton Peisakhov and harpist Lara Somogyi, and a considerate selection of echoes, delays and compressors – has been used to create a hybrid sound that intends to deceive, question and challenge existing listening habits. Utilising the contrast between reduction and decoration, ‘Spells’ can be seen as a quest to find out how much or how little composition is required to constitute a song. Why the ear can and should be deceived about the authenticity of instruments. What significance these instruments have within this process, and why the personal perception of balance and sound exclude ultimate truths. 

Linking the two albums are the four movements of ‘Nocturne’, an ever-developing conversation that on occasion flirts with the grandeur of compressed rock drums. The first single, ‘Golden Times 1’, received a world premiere by BBC 6 Music’s Mary Anne Hobbs, proclaiming it as "incredible." An alternative version of ‘Sleepers Beat Theme’ – composed for the soundtrack to a short film about the Trans-Siberian Express – opened Jon Hopkins’ Late Night Tales album from 2015, who noted “I thought it was such a calming and sensitive piece that sounded to me like the beginning of something...the warmth and depth of the sound entrances me every time”. 

Though ‘Spells’ and ‘Gravity’ are his first albums recorded under his own name, as acclaimed electronic producer HECQ he’s released nine albums since 2003, exploring everything from ambient to breakcore. He has simultaneously established himself as a trusted composer and sound designer, working for a wide array of clients including Amnesty International and Marvel Comics; composing for feature films, games, art installations and convention opening titles.

After embracing this demanding line of work, in 2010 Ben felt the need to explore his roots and early education, which inspired these albums under his own name. Born in 1981 as the third child of opera singer Deirdre Boysen and actor Claus Boysen, his classical music training on piano and guitar began when he was seven years old; the works of Bruckner, Wagner and Bach laid an important foundation. Rediscovering this music shared with his parents – united with the sounds of Autechre, Cristian Vogel and Jiri.Ceiver to Pink Floyd and Godspeed You! Black Emperor – brought back an understanding of why he wanted to write music in the first place.

“Finding my views understood, reflected and welcomed by Erased Tapes was an encouraging experience, crowned by the offer to release ‘Spells’ and re-issue ‘Gravity’ with them. Through many caring conversations with Robert I felt that there’s no better home for the existing ideas and no better cradle for new ones.”  – Ben Lukas Boysen

Ben Lukas Boysen – Golden Times 1

The NYC-via-Kansas producer Brian Leeds (Huerco S), known for his distinctly murky productions, returns to Anthony Naples' Proibito imprint with a brilliant full-length release of dense meditative ambiance. A marked move away from Leeds' house music ventures, For Those of You Who Have Never (And Also Those That Have) is an intensely cerebral experience, sparking raw emotions throughout.

Our pick of the bunch is "Promises of Fertility". Seven blissful minutes of softly smudged chords lay the foundation for an innocent melody that beams you into a world of mystical sounds and fantasy.

Dropping on June 6th, For Those of You Who Have Never (And Also Those That Have) is now available to pre-order.

B3 Silent Escape

Re-mastered and issued by Incidental Music on vinyl for the first time ever. Ambienti Coassiali's Vol. 1 is a missing link in the world of 1980's Italian electronic music. A parallel project of Capricorni Pneumatici, Vol. 1 was conceived in and around Milan in the late '80s and released only on an incredibly limited cassette. Recorded solely with a Yamaha DX7 and two track Revox A77 tape machine, Vol. 1 is composed of 6 "rooms" (stanze), each their own world of meditative & ethereal FM synthesis.

The title refers to a cult feminist magazine printed in Japan in the 1910s. All tracks issued for the first time.
