Kraut Sounds - Spiral

New track from the forthcoming album "Stills", to be released beginning of September

Kraut Sounds - Focus (Reshape)

"Stills" capture eight personal moments that became a series of ambient tracks. Relaxed and floating textures meet deep dub electronic sounds and subliminal melodies. Something to listen to in a meditative state.

The limited edition CD version includes as a bonus all five tracks from the "Silence" EP, which was released in digital form in September 2021 on the UK label Whitelabrecs. In total, almost 80 min of music.

Tracklist:
1. Ondes / 2. Stills / 3. Focus (Reshape) / 4. Distant Points / 5. Reflections / 6. Media Luna / 7. Low Lights / 8. Scratches In The Sky / 9. Silence (Bonus) / 10. Calm Times (Bonus) / 11. Slow Horizon (Bonus) / 12. Things Will Disappear And Be Forgotten (Bonus) / 13. Weightless Sleep (Bonus)

Kraut Sounds - Altitude EP

Here is the 50th release of Drone Works International: "Drone Signals" by Kraut Sounds with the support of the Munich Drone Connection (Deep Tremolo Sustain, Velo di Nebbia and Linearwelt), who contributed sound pieces on four tracks.

"Drone Signals" is a direct follow-up to the albums "Drone Scapes" (2018), "Spaces" (2019) and "Stills" (2023). On the seven tracks, Kraut Sounds once again presents his vision of modern ambient drone music. From the epic opening track "Drone Signals" to the elegiac closing track "Dream Machine", it is a journey through meditative and floating soundscapes filled with rich ambient sounds, freeform electronics, captivating drones and hidden subliminal melodies.

Tracklist:
1. Drone Signals / 2. Reveries / 3. Our Own Galaxy / 4. Ancient Memories / 5. Dense / 6. Magic / 7. Dream Machine

Kraut Sounds - Electronics, Effects, Loops, E-Piano
