Echoes in the Valley, Vol. 3

Morgenfrisk

paralysed

Ambient minimalism is gaining momentum. Some would argue that evoking atmosphere is harder than sequencing beats, and Fragments of Silence is proof. Laden with lush textures and ambient leanings, the album invites deep listening.

This 8-track LP marks the debut collaboration between Synthbiont, Anassimandrus, and Sacred Seeds: three artists with distinct sensibilities, united by a shared affinity for ambient, experimental, and dub techno sounds. Their convergence sets the tone for a singular, immersive experience.

Fragments of Silence is not background music. It’s a serious body of work that commands attention. It’s an hour-long descent into a vacuum chamber. An environment that evolves, coils, shifts, and builds toward dissonance and stillness.

Each track is grounded in a strong atmospheric character, unfolding with deliberate progression. The album leans heavily into experimental minimalism, imagine dark tunnels, ominous energy fields, and brooding landscapes.

Fragments of Silence is one of those albums that explores the intersection of distinct creative temperaments, marked by structure, mood, and experimentation. The result is an album that flows with intention and feeling, creating a space that listeners can fully sink into.

Description by SreeLakshmy 

Sacred Seeds is an ambient electronic music project by Wasim, founded in 2014 in Calicut, Kerala (India). Blending synthesis, field recordings, and experimental sound design, Sacred Seeds’ music explores the interplay between organic and electronic textures.

Sacred Seeds has performed at renowned festivals such as Magnetic Fields, Hilltop Festival, and Bloom in Green, sharing the stage with influential artists like Gaudi, OTT, Suduaya, and Symbolico, and many more.

Synthbiont & Anassimandrus is the ambient/experimental/dub techno project born at the end of 2018 by the collaboration between Nicolò Faggiani and Tommaso Gobbo. Their musical background comes from different musical experiences as DJs, vinyl collectors, and founders of EMC series. Their performances and music are composed through the elaboration of different digital and analog sources, processed field recordings, and sampling to create unique soundscapes.

Produced and mixed by Nicolò Faggiani and Tommaso Gobbo (Synthbiont & Anassimandrus) (1,2,5,6) and Wasim Raja (Sacred Seeds) (3,4,7,8)

Through muted melodic undertones, Russian craft and Spanish flair take a harmonious voyage across prairie province as Mango and Gullen visualise "Manitoba" in sonic form. Windswept landscapes reveal abstract patterns across fields of corn, sunlit in glorious autumn technicolour. Whispering vocal phrases catch on the cool air, drifting in reverberating sound waves.

Above and beyond, UK vision finds a pulsating edge in Marsh. Rasping bass pulses in waves across a golden glow. A sonic path forged within a mountain of glacial calm. Simple motifs vie for attention against soft vocal touches, harmonies filter out across the distance in arpeggio driven bliss; the mountain flora ripples under light breeze.

Looking out over Brighton peer, Sinerider envisions "Manitoba" landscape. Sweeping textures create a world of majestic solitude – ethereal in nature, haunting by design. Disparate motifs rise and drop, barely heard as they tumble and fall against the cavernous reverb of a hard-edge mountainside, softened by the sonic washes that continue into eternity.

Reflecting, refracting, soaking up the waves "Manitoba" warms the soul.
