Ambient

Soundwaves can act as a portal, enabling you to resonate with the conscious experience of others. The DJ then bridges the gaps, connecting these pathways to help us realize our inherent interconnectedness. Our next guest, Lychee, is very mindful of this sonic potential as they build experiences through sound. Hailing from the east coast of the US, they have established themselves locally and internationally through their excellently crafted sets and tastefully curated project Spontaneous Affinity, a monthly mix and interview series, annual zine, and occasional event platform. Lychee's sound is ever-evolving, exploratory, and effervescent. Their Unrush contribution takes us through a myriad of moods and styles while still keeping a singular unified voice throughout. A perfect accompaniment to the first signs of fall as we reflect on the past few months of pause with a warm nostalgia.

F-on, the alias of Alfonso Pomeda, is known for his profound progressive sessions with long mixes, creating voyages through experimental music, ambient, and dubby techno. His productions are 4x4 experiments at a low tempo, incorporating field recordings, timbres, textures, and cinematic structures. He is a resident at Alpenglühen and Taiga sessions and co-owner of the label Antimatter. Additionally, he runs the Alpenglühen label, which focuses on deep and ambient techno, exploring the line between light and darkness.

Mareena, the founder of Unrush, met Alfonso at the Mostra Festival in Barcelona un 2023. Their connection through music was immediate, making it natural to invite him to Unrush…

Following the vibrant and dynamic energy of "Here and Now," The Tabula Rasa Record Company invites listeners to a new auditory exploration with our latest ambient compilation, "Altrove." Altrove, meaning 'elsewhere,' captures serene and meditative spaces which lie within and beyond the hustle and bustle of our built environments.

As the companion to our debut compilation "Here and Now," "Altrove" continues our exploration of contrasting musical moods and environments. While "Here and Now" celebrated the immediacy and vibrancy of the present, "Altrove" offers a journey to distant, tranquil spaces, encouraging a deeper connection with the serene aspects of our surroundings.

The Tabula Rasa community have come together to weave a tapestry of soundscapes that evoke the much needed stillness and tranquility of nature. Each track serves as a portal to secluded, introspective realms, inviting listeners to escape and immerse themselves in moments of calm and reflection.

Drawing inspiration from these essential moments of peace, "Altrove" features a curated selection of ambient pieces that highlight the interplay between organic textures and subtle electronic elements. From the gentle rustle of leaves to the distant echoes of a hidden stream, this compilation is a sonic retreat designed to provide respite and renewal.

Join us on this ambient voyage and discover the beauty of 'elsewhere' with "Altrove," where quiet moments in the embrace of nature provide a sanctuary from the chaos of modern life.

CV Premiere I Isabel Soto & Kevin Ferhati - Inflorescence

Buy/stream: https://kompakt.fm/releases/pop_ambient_2025_lp_dl

Hello Everybody,

In recent years, the introductory texts for the Pop Ambient compilation series, which is released every year on Kompakt as the last release before the Christmas break, often began with the sentence "Every year again...".

“Every year again”, a quiet, almost unnoticed maxim of self-evidentness. Because this is already the 25th issue to be published this year.

25 years in increasingly fast-moving times in the even faster-moving music business is an eternity that doesn't just feel like it. It is all the more remarkable how I, as someone who is always restless and often driven by this fast pace himself, pleasantly almost haven’t realised how - in pop-ambient contexts - time does not pass (or passes differently) in the best sense.

When compiling the 25th edition I was asked, among other things, what it was like that I was still doing this and whether I had a favorite track. In the spirit of bringing all the tracks together I don't have a favorite track, or all of them. But I have a favorite part (moment) that I played. In this case it was a broad chord in a change of key at minute 2:55 in the piece Circles by Max Würden. A moment of majesty and familiarity that, at that moment, contains the entire Pop Ambient cosmos, that just works and doesn't explain anything - and I said: “...that's the reason why I'm still doing this.. .”

Pop Ambient is a statement without demands. Is promise without expectation. Is a path without a destination.         Every year again.

Wolfgang Voigt, October 2024

As always, the indispensable final mastering by Jörg Burger ensures that everything is brought together and the sound is fine-tuned.

And like every year, the 25th edition is of course wrapped in an abstract, floral magic creation by Veronika Unland. Over the years, the grace of her imagery has increasingly merged with the musical aura to form an unmistakable magical symbiosis.  In addition to the official vinyl and CD edition, there will be a limited edition of 100 pieces in transparent vinyl - including a hand-signed fine art print by Veronika Unland, available exclusively at Kompakt Mailorder.
