Textures [Sound Library 4]

A Quiet Garden is the ambient project of contemplative and silent retreat facilitator, Andō.

In her meditative ambient project, A Quiet Garden, Andō crafts minimal ambient, drone, and soundscapes, using field recordings, organic and analogue synthesis, creating dusty vibes and mists, for those who like to rest in stillness.

Affin Serial was established in 2023 as a sub-division of the parent label Affin, to create a clear separation between the label's various musical projects. 

While Affin focuses more on ambient-oriented projects and album concepts, Affin Serial is dedicated exclusively to dubby, hypnotic techno and distinguishes itself through a recurring visual brand that underscores the serial nature of the projects.

Markus Guentner, born in 1981 in Regensburg, began his musical journey at the age of 13, when he started creating his first mixes on turntables and a mixing console. Just a year later, he began his DJ career in Regensburg’s clubs. At 19, he released his first tracks, which gained attention, particularly the “REGENSBURG EP” from 2000 on KOMPAKT, which featured a re-arranged bell recording from the St. Wolfgang Church. Shortly after, he released his debut album “IN MOLL.” Numerous contributions followed on the POP AMBIENT series.

In the 2000s, Guentner became a regular DJ worldwide and worked with labels such as Ware, Warner, and Sending Orbs. In 2002, his cover of the Talk Talk classic “Such a Shame” entered the German Dance Charts. He was also part of the “Hildegard Knef – Reform Session” in 2002.

Guentner’s music blends various genres and attracted fans such as Sven Väth and the Pet Shop Boys. His track “Express Yourself” was used in the 2015 film Equals, which won the “Best Soundtrack” award.

Since 2001, Guentner has also been working on film soundtracks, producing music for short films and projects like the ZDF show KAVKA. In 2005, he collaborated with Ivo Watts Russell (4AD) on a rework album for “The Hope Blister” and was involved in the art project “Flashbox.” Additionally, in 2006, he co-founded the music collective SUBLIME e.V. in Regensburg.

In the 2010s, Guentner’s musical style shifted further toward ambient and neo-classical music. Together with Heiko Badje, he founded the atmospheric project Stareaway and released another solo album, SHADOWS OF THE CITY (Moodgadget), in 2014. He also worked on music projects for various exhibitions and films. During this time, Guentner began performing more frequently as a live act worldwide (Substrata/Seattle, Enter./Ibiza, UpToDate/Bialystok, among others).

His music evolved further with albums such as THEIA (2015) and EMPIRE (2018), which featured collaborations with artists like Rafael Anton Irisarri, Julia Kent, bvdub, and Tom Moth. His 2020 album GRADIENT SPIRITS was created as a live improvisation during the pandemic, and his 2021 release EXTROPY explored humanity’s development through technology, concluding the triptych of his works.

Guentner is known for his consistency in the music scene. In 2023, his solo album ONDA was released, along with a collaboration with Joachim Spieth on the album OVERLAY. In 2024, he released the album KONTRAPUNKT, the 50th release from the label A STRANGELY ISOLATED PLACE, which is entirely made up of collaborations (including Abul Mogard, Hollie Kenniff, Arovane, and more).

Joachim Spieth’s musical career spans more than two decades, during which he has played many roles: DJ, producer, live performer, and founder of the esteemed Affin record label. His work is defined by an exceptional attention to detail and a keen sensitivity to creating immersive atmospheres, qualities that are evident whether in his studio productions or live performances.

In the early stages of his career, Spieth made notable strides through collaborations with Wolfgang Voigt’s Kompakt label. His contributions to the renowned Pop Ambient series, as well as a track featured on The Orb’s Back To Mine compilation, helped solidify his reputation within the ambient music scene.

A defining moment in Spieth’s career came in 2007 with the founding of his own label, Affin. Under his leadership, Affin has evolved into a respected international platform that brings together like-minded artists and fosters creative collaboration. Working closely with ambient artist Markus Guentner, Spieth has established a dynamic partnership that extends beyond music, with Guentner also contributing his artistic vision to the label’s visual identity.

Spieth’s discography showcases remarkable versatility, earning him recognition from both critics and fans. In addition to albums like Irradiance, Terrain, Overlay, and Retrace, his work has been reinterpreted by esteemed artists such as alva noto, Pole, Abul Mogard, Rafael Anton Irisarri, Dino Sabatini, Luigi Tozzi, and Claudio PRC. Through his Textures series, Spieth has also created a sound library that further emphasizes his commitment to sonic exploration and experimentation.

As a DJ, Joachim Spieth has performed in over 30 countries, sharing his musical vision with audiences worldwide. In recent years, he has developed a live ambient program, which has been showcased at prestigious festivals such as Up To Date (Białystok), Mostra (Barcelona), and the Ambientalny Festival (Wrocław).
