after a long year, I've finally managed to come back to a project I started a long time ago. Recorded and edited over many months in many different times in my life, it feels like the experience of looking at something you recognise but can't really understand like you did once, in another life. I hope you enjoy it.

We’re excited to present the 69th release of the Embodiment podcast series, featuring a set from Agonis, co-founder of Amenthia Recordings. After his mesmerizing performance at one of our club nights in 2024, we’ve stayed in touch, and now we’re thrilled to share this exploration of Agonis' electronic music catalogue.

Some personal words by Agonis: 
"The mix conveys music, which I think works for listening at home. I didn't want to go for one style but rather wanted to mix things with a similar vibe which fit the current spring and sunny mood."

We invite you to tune in as it’s a set that truly speaks for itself. Enjoy the ride.

Embodiment 069 - Agonis

Compositional ambient, liminal, soft technological glitch, long quiet evolving tones - all are becoming trademarks to my developing sound world.   This one fits.

432. Sleepy Sunday Podcast (Elm Records)

Gray Acres has always been a space for subtlety and restraint, distinct from the denser, more cinematic atmospheres of Hotel Neon. Where that project often explores process, technique, and narrative arcs, Gray Acres tends to be produced "in the moment" and stays still. It lets you think for yourself. Soft Erasure especially embraces that characteristic stillness.

This is the first full-length Gray Acres album since 2021’s “Dreams and Phantoms.” It’s a project that came together slowly with an intentionally light touch…more about dissolving sounds than constructing them. Subtraction vs. addition.

The title Soft Erasure came about as we noticed a recurring quality across the recordings: a sense of tangible things like guitars, pianos, and strings fading, softening, and slipping just out of reach as we shaped and processed them. The music feels like it’s constantly on the verge of vanishing, or being gently wiped away into an indistinct atmosphere. That idea of erasure not as violence, but as gentleness, decay, or transformation, felt like the right metaphor to latch on to. It speaks to memory, distance, and time, and how all of those forces shape and reshape our perception of sound and self.

Musically, this album is built mainly from resampled acoustic instruments: delicate piano lines, sustained strings, frozen and looped guitar textures. Much of the source material was recorded clean, then stretched, blurred, and layered until it became something abstract…like an impression of a song, or a half-remembered phrase. In some ways, we were trying to find the most washed-out and ephemeral version of each sound. The result is a record that is designed less for narrative and more for immersion.

If you’ve followed this project before, I think you’ll hear a natural continuation of its aesthetic. But if you’re new to Gray Acres, this is a great entry point. It’s music that tries not to demand attention, but rewards those who tune in closely for a while.

Time Beyond The Edges (ft. Claire Deak)

This is the closing track from the next sleep album... It's an early track of mine, but it's one I've done a lot of work on, and I'm finally happy with it. ^_^ The album has a deep-sea theme...and so the snow in the title is actually..marine snow! 
My apologies if it sounds a bit harsh~

For his isolatedmix, https://soundcloud.com/ocoeur has leaned on his own productions alongside complimentary inspirations that help portray a dream-like hour of ambience, dotted with highs and lows - demonstrating some of the many emotions Franck has continually painted over the past five years. Without even listening, seeing the likes of Murcof, Rauelsson and Cliff Martinez, alongside Ocoeur’s own productions within the track list should indicate how delicate and considered this mix is.
