A riff on Jon Hassell's _Fourth World_ series. Where Hassell focused on creating ritual music of potential societies that _didn't_ exist; Ian Kim Judd seeks to evoke the notion of potential utopian societies that _could_ exist. In these times of global instability and uncertainty, Fifth World seeks to posit an alternative, with scenes from an optimistic future.

Intimate storyteller Cara Mayer delivers tales of 'stolen kisses' in a sublime daydream of pastoral sounds. Exploring the intersections between overlapping sounds and structured song, Cara intricately blends personal and found field recordings with a unique assortment of curiously charming folk music. A beautifully obscure journey through buzzing and humming streets, in gleeful procession of Cardboard Lamb.

"This mix is about stolen songs – music overheard in the street; 
sounds that drift between song and half-song. 

A car playing salsa as it passes you,
a service in St. Peter’s Basilica,
an owl, a cricket;
subway buskers,
restaurant owners,
ice cream trucks,
Christmas markets…

I hope to pay a small homage to the fissure, to blur the boundary between the two; to send a big bright cotton bud to unclog your ears and expand the notion of ‘song’."

Stephen Medeiros, celebrated for his iconic project Kaminanda, returns to Altar Records with an exquisite new EP under his latest moniker, Mykorhiza. Drawing on nearly two decades of sonic exploration, he delivers a captivating psychill-cinematic journey through four immersive tracks.

The opening piece, "Forest Gateway," gently invites listeners into an enchanting soundscape, lush with textured atmospheres and subtle organic rhythms that evoke the serenity and mystique of a hidden woodland sanctuary. Seamlessly transitioning to "Microflora," the artist further deepens the sonic narrative with intricate layers and delicate melodies, each note thoughtfully crafted to echo the wonder of life's minute complexities.

"Empyrean" elevates the experience, transporting the listener skyward with sweeping cinematic vistas and a harmonious interplay between ethereal pads and intricate rhythms. It's a mesmerizing exploration that embodies both tranquility and majestic depth.

Closing the EP, "The Rose Temple" features the graceful vocals of Rebecca Elatiki, whose ethereal voice gracefully intertwines with the composer's rich instrumentation. This collaborative track encapsulates the essence of spiritual introspection, gently guiding listeners through a heartfelt journey that lingers long after the final note fades.

Mykorhiza's debut EP on Altar Records is an evocative, meticulously crafted work that beautifully bridges the realms of psychill and cinematic music. Mykorhiza proves his mastery in creating soundscapes that not only enchant but resonate deeply within the soul.
