This is a different interpretation of my track "Particles" from the album of the same name. Just the OP-1field and the OP-XY. This is an even more stripped down version of the original, more fragile, even "smaller" in scope...

Piam - The Longest Day LP
https://kartaskvazhin.bandcamp.com/album/the-longest-day

The 33rd release from the Kartaskvazhin label introduces a new album by Piam, the duo of Vlad Dobrovolski and Ilya Sadovsky, masters of organic electronic music from Moscow and Kaluga. Both have long been releasing successful solo records, collaborating on various projects, and performing as part of the quartet Kurvenschreiber.

The Longest Day takes its name from the longest day in The Iliad. Though recorded as a duo, Vlad and Ilya introduce a third, hidden voice through the use of field recordings captured between 2022 and 2023 in India, Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia, and Bali. The hum of engines, the drone of nighttime cities, and the bellowing of a massive ox blend with both technological and natural sounds. Echoes, reverberations, and waves from Vlad and Ilya’s synthesizers do more than complement the collected material. They merge into a single sonic canvas, filled with life from different sides of memory, especially intriguing on deeper listening.

David Parker & Graham Beverley - Theme from Verdun II

Hot summer rain hits the cracked pavement in uneven rhythms. A neon sign flickers above a café that never seems to close, its warm white light reflected in the wet ground like a fever dream. The air smells of summer and the world hums with an easy tone, as if the city itself is holding its breath. A light flooded film noir-ish scene, that needs a soundtrack like „POOL JAMS“, the new album of INIT, the Berlin based duo, that already caused quite a stir with their albums for Hivern Discs and Optimo Music. This time, they bring their latest creations out on R.i.O. - a label, with whom they are deeply associated. Their fourth longplayer is a playful one. One that brings trip hopping feelings. That has r’n’b grace, without catering regular trademarks of the genre. Dub, trance, drone, is all there too. Yet, nothing is present in pure definition. Rather suggested, interwoven, or newly twisted in a songwriting style, that haunts and
seduces. On top the voice of Nadia D'Alò dances, steps and hums tempting to the grooves she created with her partner in crime Benedikt Frey. Together they fashioned a record, that, as INIT puts it, is „some kind of old photo from an old dry empty pool that got faded by sunlight “. A dreamy, sunny piece of song art, made for endless smoky LA freeway drives, and other adventures that seek for infinite riddance. You can dream it. You can trance it. You can’t escape it, as soon as it rotates in your dream device for sound and vision.

INIT - Pinata

I don't think I will ever forget the first time I heard m.=addiction. I can also confirm that every time I played out that record, folks waltzed over to me to find out the name. Something mystical and enigmatic brought them over to music, making me feel like I was a snake charmer enchanting a cobra with the sounds of a pungi. The music of Dictaphone often evoked hazy spaces, full of jazzy smoke, lo-fi textures, and noir voices, occupying those distant corners of your memory where you felt glamorous comfort, charming enchantment, and warming delight. Since the 2002 debut, the Berlin-based duo of Oliver Doerell and Roger Döring released five more albums, all of which I think I have covered on Headphone Commute. And, in my humble opinion, their latest upcoming release is the closest to that special aura I felt nearly two decades ago. Unstable is Dictaphone's 6th full-length, where Doerel and Döring are also joined by Alexander Stoze (on violin) to mesmerise us with that special scent of future-retro nostalgia that seems to drift in the air like thick incense in a temple of soporific ghosts.

TRACK PREMIERE : Dictaphone - Desplendor

Fluid Audio presents Giulio Aldinucci & Matteo Uggeri - The Promise of a Threat coming soon on Fluid Audio...

In The Promise of a Threat, two veteran composers of ambient and electroacoustic music - Giulio Aldinucci and Matteo Uggeri - converge on a collaborative terrain that is at once intimate and immense, reflective and unsteady, beautiful and unsettling.

Created between June 2021 and early 2022, and mastered by Aldinucci in 2025, the album stands as a slow-burning document of digital and emotional correspondence. It reflects the language of ambient music not as static wallpaper, but as a deeply expressive form - one that allows silence and signal, memory and disturbance, to coexist within the same fragile space.

A Digital Dialogue Across Distance...

The entire work emerged through remote exchanges between Aldinucci (based in Siena, Italy) and Uggeri (Milan, Italy), unfolding gradually through shared sessions, sketches, and iterations over time. The process was not unlike the movement of tectonic plates - imperceptible at first, yet with weight and intention. Layers of processed field recordings, abstracted rhythms, and spectral textures accumulate into dense yet transparent forms. Every detail is traceable, yet elusive.

Giulio Aldinucci, known for his deeply spatial drones and sensitive treatment of field material, builds immersive sonic beds that seem to hover just above the surface of the Earth - simultaneously grounded in place and untethered from time. Matteo Uggeri, by contrast, applies a more tactile touch: assembling beats, samples, and environmental recordings into patterns that give pulse and tension to the atmosphere.

Together, their styles intersect in subtle and surprising ways - sometimes bleeding into one another, at other times standing apart in contrast. The balance between order and entropy, harmony and noise, creates a dynamic that speaks to the album’s title: The Promise of a Threat. Beauty does not arrive alone. It is always shadowed by its inverse.

Processes of Presence and Absence...

Across the album’s runtime, the listener is drawn through zones of dissolving melody and shadowy rhythm, passing through spaces that feel neither entirely natural nor entirely artificial. A drum sample on Track 2, provided by Andris Brinkmanis, adds a skeletal percussive element - a quiet agitation beneath the calm. The rhythms are not dominant but suggestive, like distant industrial echoes or memories of forgotten structures.

The artists manipulate the digital medium not as a tool of perfection, but of erosion and transformation. Hiss is preserved. Glitches are welcomed. The human ear remains present in every detail. The processing - granular, filtered, stretched - is not ornamental but fundamental, a way of sculpting emotion out of signal. Field recordings are often submerged, embedded beneath layers of drones and rhythms, yet their presence adds a layer of organic residue - a trace of wind, rust, or breath beneath the circuitry.

A Tactile Offering...

True to the ethos of Fluid Audio, the physical release of The Promise of a Threat will be crafted with great care and material sensitivity. Expect a limited, hand-assembled edition that honours the intimacy and intricacy of the music - an object to be held, as much as heard. Full packaging details and release date will follow.

For now, The Promise of a Threat lingers just at the edge of hearing - like the low hum of an incoming storm, or the quiet reassurance of knowing something is coming, even if its shape remains undefined.
