Otto Taimela returns with his second album for London ambient free divers SWIMS, following 2024’s celebrated "Inner Beauty".

"Uncommon & Fragile" departs from Otto's meadowed, ivory-centric introspections, reaching further into binaural sound design, trance pointillism, and groundswells of angular percussion. This is less a club record, more something to soothe post-rave tinnitus on the bus home. 

”I guess you could say that this is the outcome of a great need for escapism. I’m not the biggest fan of the current timeline, so I wanted to make something pretty, splashy, colourful and quirky just for myself. Embracing simplicity in a way of leaning towards maximalism without getting too suffocated. It’s a ’dear diary’-kinda album….”

Gloubiboulga Megalive #5 w/ Neniu & Gloubiboulga

Will Hofbauer - Somewhere Between the Shovel and the Egg

Between silence and emergence, the voice of reality hums: neither word nor sound, but the vibration of pure intention. It speaks through invisible patterns, shaping the boundaries between thought and being. Each echo is a bridge, each pause a revelation. Liminal space becomes unfolding consciousness, an endless transmission from the unknown. In this silent continuum, light learns to listen, and the soul becomes the frequency it once sought.
