AI-36 comes from Ear to Ear - the debut collaboration between label regular Samuel van Dijk (Multicast Dynamics) and Ukrainian artist Yevgen Chebotarenko. Taken from a series of live recording sessions, the album explores in four parts a markedly darker realm of soundscape music. A cornucopia of abstract morphing scenes and heady synesthesia, the album brims with rich sonic detail and evocative gestures. Deftly blending organic sound textures with an experimental austerity, ‘Live Recordings’ displays potent and accomplished storytelling.

The album opens to a grey overcast vista, a natural landscape that slowly melts into a descending chasmic dysphoria. The mood transitions to a drone-based piece on the B-side, characterised by a more psychologically suspenseful framework and exotic blend of sound design. The atmosphere lightens, yet equally pensive as side C takes on a more elemental form, invoking water and its array of microbial and metabolic ecosystems. Brief cathartic moments in the final section pave the way for deeper wayfaring on the D-side. Stray signals and unknowable artefacts skitter across a vast subaqueous domain, a fathomless womb of potentialities that ebbs into eternity.

Pianeti Sintetici presents AI-37, entitled ‘Space Opera’. Conceived by Italian artist Davide Perrone, the Pianeti Sintetici (“Synthetic Planets”) project hypothesises the creation of future synthetic worlds as told through sound. Although split across two parts, the album is a singular organism that narrates a journey of boundless cosmic exploration. A sonic tapestry woven of intergalactic atmospheres, Space Opera’s imaginative sound design contributes to a richly spatial and haptic experience.

Taking place in the dimly lit crevices of deepest space, a swirling pool of chemical abstractions and extraterrestrial transmissions spumes out from the darkness. Elements weave through broad washes of drones and scintillating textures, contrasting a sparse backdrop with dense and multilayered passages. Composed with the use of modular synthesisers and intense audio manipulations, ‘Space Opera’ comes to life as an entity that transports the listener on an immersive journey into the mysteries of alien worlds.

Part Two

Thursdays are for throwbacks, right? So, we have an extra memorable trip down memory lane to share. It was a gloomy yet oddly comforting Sunday afternoon, tucked away from the city's chaos deep within the Catskills Mountains. We were all sprawled out in a cozy, high-ceilinged room that was booming just hours ago, transformed from a dancefloor to a haven of post-party relaxation. Our good friend Joan Gila, who was visiting from Tarragona, Spain, was at the helm of the music that day. Joan - the mastermind behind HOC Radio and Red Edge record label, co-founder of Hiru events, a resident of MostRadio, a passionate music lover, record collector, and all-around incredible human took us on a musical odyssey we can't wait to share. 

Forget background music. This is a journey that demands your full attention. Layers of intricate details intertwine through the mix, adding depth and revealing hidden gems with each new listen. It is an avant-garde experience that blends ambient, experimental, techno, halftime, and beyond.

So, carve out two hours from your day. Trust us, it'll be worth it. This recording captures a beautiful memory, forever immortalized in sound. Gràcies, Joan!

As summer gradually comes to a close, we are thrilled to introduce a new guest in our mix series: French artist Thaïs and Paris-based curator of the emotional waves event series. Thaïs shares with us a meditative and colorful mix, brimming with resourceful melodies, percussions, and deep ambiances. Sit back, close your eyes and listen.

About this mix (few words from F-ON): 
"About the storytelling, well,  i can explain how the process of the recording was:
Friday night, It has been a hard and stressful day.
Everyone at home is sleeping, so I take a RedBull can from the fridge and I go to my dinner room.
I close the door, and start to record. The healing vibes start in my technics turntables and my Genelec monitors that sound very low.
I don't want to wake anyone up.
The next two hours are just for me.

His progressive sessions, profound and with long mixes, are real voyages that sail through experimental music, ambient and horizontal and dubby techno.

His productions are 4x4 experiments of low tempo with field recordings and marked spaces, where he explores timbres, textures and cinematographic structures. He is resident at the Alpenglühen and Taiga sessions and owner of the label Antimatter together with Bule.

He is also the owner of Alpenglühen (the label) focused in deep and ambient techno which explores the thin line between light and darkness.

About the mix

Nicoló & Tomasso say:

"About our live hybrid set
We conceived our performance with storytelling practices in mind, starting with the idea of creating an atmosphere from which we developed our musical narration. You can hear this aspect at the beginning of our hybrid set, where the combination of ambient/dub sounds and field recordings aims to create an introductory and more neutral soundscape. After this kind of incubating phase, we embarked on our musical journey, merging more dramatic vibes with warm, meditative sounds. From there, we gradually introduced rhythmic patterns, with some tribalistic touches, to increase the energy and reach the climax in the final phase, culminating in a special drone dedication to Laurie Anderson.

It felt really being like home playing at Temple #8 (@espacio-perpendicular), such a warm atmosphere and lovely people! The feeling of appreciation and involvement left us with some amazing memories!"

prosophone proudly presents its third release: PSPN003, an immersive various artists 10-inch vinyl featuring four singular visions from across the experimental electronic spectrum : 

Opening the record, Eyot Tapes is a project by Alexander Green, best known for his main alias Boddika and as one half of Instra:mental. Eyot Tapes is a dense, humid dive into the depths of an imaginary world—an experimental journey blending tropical bird calls, intriguing melodies
and cassette-treated delay. A perfect, cinematic opener for the VA

Following this, Saphileaum, a modern sorcerer of percussion, invites us into his poetic and dreamlike tropical universe. Rostevan feels like a gentle and pleasant ride in a pagoda boat down an imaginary river.

The journey then shifts above the surface with Roe, Loop LF — the alias of London-based producer Caldera — feels like a breath of fresh air. Aquatic visions begin to surface, as percussions bubble up from the depths of the sea, carried by windy, textural currents.

Closing the release, 1too — also known as Cousin and Tunnel Dancers — delivers a breaky techno track infused with dub and house elements, bubbly textures, and tropical percussion. Sparkling elements emerge unpredictably, yet always harmoniously, creating a strangely relaxing atmosphere.

The record is now available on limited hand-stamped lathe-cut 10-inch vinyl and digital via Bandcamp. Full streaming available. As always: limited press, don’t sleep on it !

PSPN003 - Various Artists

“Dead eyes” are what you see when the spark of presence is gone, when the gaze becomes flat and unfeeling. They don’t track the world with curiosity, don’t soften with warmth, don’t betray the smallest flicker of life behind them. Instead, they look vacant, as if the person is only half-there—or not there at all.

Psychologists might call it dissociation, emotional numbness, or the drained look of depression. Trauma can hollow the eyes until they no longer shine, leaving only a glassy stare. Burnout, exhaustion, even despair can strip away the subtle movements we instinctively expect, making the gaze uncanny in its stillness.

What unsettles us is that eyes are supposed to reveal the soul. When they go lifeless, it feels as if something essential has slipped away. The body is alive, but the windows look out onto nothing. And that nothing stares back.
