Henrik Meierkord is a Swedish artist based in Stockholm. His main instrument is the cello, although his work often incorporates viola, double bass, guitar and subtle electronic elements too. His sound blends the emotional pull of classical music with the meditative depth of Ambient and Henrik’s intuitive creative process draws inspiration from film scores, minimalist composers like Pärt or Ligeti, and Ambient pioneers such as Popol Vuh and Biosphere.

Italian composer Marco Lucchi from Modena brings plenty of experience to this collaboration, having been active in experimental and Ambient music since the late 1980s. A former music teacher and scholar, Marco's approach is grounded in kosmische music, minimalism and Ambient styles. In this album, he joins Henrik in a continuation of their longstanding creative dialogue. Swedish flautist and producer Pawel Kobak adds a third strand to this project, layering processed flute textures into some of Henrik and Marco’s evolving pieces.

The Book of Dreams explores themes of sleep and dreams. What began as a collaborative piece for the Sleeplaboratory5.0 compilation grew into a fully realised collaboration. Henrik and Marco exchanged ideas from across the borders, building lush, drifting pieces through a process of inspiration and response. Pawel's flute recordings, gently pitched, time-stretched, and transformed, were later woven into the fabric of this album. The result is an album that lives between the conscious and the unconscious, where layered strings, gentle drones, and evolving Ambient passages unfold slowly like distant memories.

Themes of restlessness and retreat run throughout the album, echoing the growing tension many of us can feel in modern life. It acts as both an ode and antidote to sleeplessness, intended not just for passive listening but as a contemplative aid. Whether heard during late-night solitude or the quiet morning hours, The Book of Dreams offers a space to wander, drift, and dissolve into stillness.

Here's my musical resonance to this week's haiku from @naviar-records.

Under the twilight sky
light shimmering on the pond -
swallows in autumn

Stillness in Bloom

That Once Was

A sonic portrait of a city suspended in twilight, it traces the quiet pulse of urban dusk — moody and gently immersive. As the day exhales and the skyline softens, textures emerge — quiet synths, distant echoes, and the hush of passing lives.

Le Code is a French ambient artist known for creating soft atmospheric soundscapes with subtle synthesizer or piano sounds inspired by nature (especially water and the ocean). He also co-founded Mare Nostrum Label, largely continuing the ocean theme.
