For all of those reflective moments, duo Biba Dupont has composed this mellow reverie. At once comforting and reassuring, this felted piano melody sets the mood to lose ourselves in peaceful thoughts. Brimming with timeless beauty, the gentle notes dwell in the air, indelible.

Biba Dupont - Down Below

Title track from Icelandic composer Snorri Hallgrímsson's new album "I Am Weary, Don't Let Me Rest". The piece balances light and dark, joy and sorrow; it's a contemplative, soulful number for piano & string ensemble and trombone about our place in the world.

We're super thrilled to be partnering up with UK composer Barry Hudson-Taylor for the release of his forthcoming EP 'Kalmte' this September. Hudson-Taylor's new effort is a lush collection of downtempo piano pieces written in celebration of rest and slowness, undulating calmly throughout and sprinkled with hints of jazzy harmonies.

The 2nd instalment of Polish pianist Piotr Wiese’s split single Ídiopáthē is out now! Known for his romantic approach to the instrument, this debut in the electronic / ambient realm is absolute fire. The opener 'Ídio' is a sun soaked electronic number with a driving back beat, sampling and bubbling synths. It is catchy, infectious and downright expertly crafted. The closer 'Páthē' is a reflective ambient number at once spacious and vulnerable. With such an impeccable first foray in the genre, we can't wait to see what's next. In the meantime, do yourself a favour and spin this awesome pair of tracks! https://moderna.ampl.ink/idiopathe

We’re pleased to announce a new collaborative album in conjunction with Bigo & Twigetti. ‘The Exquisite Corpse’ is based on the surrealist game of the same name. Taking Leah Kardos 'Little Phase' as it's starting point, the piece will be reworked by a series of composers and producers to create an album of tracks which continually evolve as each new version is passed from one artist to another, adding to and transforming material from the original piece. We'll be releasing a new track from the album every 2-3 weeks with the first track due towards the end of October and the full album available in April 2017 so keep an eye on our social media for updates.
