What began with the ‘Surging Wavesʼ compilation in 2018, now finds its closing pendant in ‘Receding Tidesʼ, which highlights a set of compositions by Japanese based ambient veterans Corey Fuller, Hakobune, Rhucle and Marty Hicks, as well as Yuto Ohashi, who has furtively been releasing exceptional ambient works since 2015 and who's piece 'Being called' is featured here.

Each piece on ‘Receding Tidesʼ engulf the listener with a feeling of serenity, poise and contemplation, with the mood ruminating deeper into an emotionally introspective plain as one reaches the compilations final segment.

In the end, one of ambient musicʼs great strengths lies in its remedial potential, and especially during these times of adversity, ‘Receding Tidesʼ is a true testament as to how music can set us free, even if just for a moment.

BEATRIZ X TESTFM w/ Sophia Zhuravkova

Leap, slink, appeal
Unravel royal road
Solid ground to yonder
We drift of one's own
Invented and invited
Leaven to the unlined
Visions of unconscious, endow with a mind:
Fantasies of glacier pervades a glimpse
Deviant swells are never seen sealed.

Introspective pilgrimage through the enigmatical realms. Amulet of Tears presents a compilation that serves as an intimate and nuanced odyssey, ignited by ambiguous envision of Sigmund Freud's - 'The Interpretation of Dreams'.

'Surveying' the subconscious to unravel transcendental thresholds, hidden dimensions, alternatives & impossibilities within core or peripheral perceptions, soared through phantasmal viewpoints.

The Interpretation of Dreams

Evitceles - Spatial Embodiment

Time goes in circles, ripples, and curves and we barely notice... was it 6 or was it 9?

As a postcard adrift through the ages, this mix features a selection of tracks encompassing our archive, glimpses on future possibilities and personal memories, collaborations with friends, relics of private fantasies and collective wisdom. What happens when we gather and free the spirit of sound? Was it 6 or was it 9?

As above, so below.

Nits de la Tramuntana #41 w/ Juliettehenriu

Artist: Giuseppe Ielasi
Title: Rhetorical Islands
Cat#: faitiche 35
Release: Mar 1st 2024
Format: LP/DL

First vinyl edition of the album Rhetorical Islands, originally released by Giuseppe Ielasi in 2012 as a limited-edition CD on his Senufo Editions label, with recordings made in 2011 as a commission for l’Audible Festival, Paris.

The album’s ten tracks have neither titles nor accompanying text, standing for themselves as what Ielasi himself has called “isolated sound worlds”. They are nonetheless unparalleled in their plasticity, acoustic events with a rare degree of tangibility. Ielasi evokes physical objects, some of which seem to have been constructed out of paper and cardboard, others based on a mechanics of elastic materials. Of course these objects are hallucinations, and precisely because Ielasi constructs them so masterfully there’s no need for any further information. Here’s to everyone creating their very own sculptures while listening to Rhetorical Islands!

The front and back cover features 0.058, a work on paper by the artists Thomas & Renée Rapedius. They make sculptures whose form and artistic inspiration are defined by their materials. Like Ielasi’s acoustic islands, their impact derives from self-referentiality, resulting in paradoxical objects that embody both a detailed material study and a potential for free association.

Giuseppe Ielasi: 06

Magnetic aesthetes & collaging lush textures - contemplative walk on the vibrant path of rocks, leading into fluctuating fields, striking the balance between cracking drift & hollow spaces.
