"I wrote "entrée / en mouvement / encore" back in 2016-17. The title reflects the starting idea for the piece, which was to reflect on the concert situation as some sort of ritual that has its entrance, which later generates movement and which keeps on moving after this energy has been thrown into the room. A ritual consisting on both artists and audience, unable to exist without each other. 

This idea led me to think about the popular thought experiment "if a tree falls in the forest..." which later led to reading George Berkeley's "A Treatise Concerning The Principles of Human Knowledge" (1710) to whom the thought is commonly (mis)attributed to. The three movements are composed from extracts from the book, translated into morse code and used as musical material. 

This would become my first "text based" piece, a technique that would evolve in some of my later works such as "one for two" (2018) "YES FOR NO" (2020) and "three_four_maybe" (2021)."

After notable releases from Tom VR, Small Steps affiliate Boaksi and label head honcho Seb Wildblood, London-based record label All My Thoughts gear up to drop ‘Through The Elements‘ EP from producer and visual artist Dreamrdreamr...Clocking in at 160 BPM, opening track 'Antique Blue' is our pick thanks to slumbering chord progressions evoking a sense of melancholia then following up with a high dose of deconstructed jungle breaks and metaphysical R&B vocals, Dreamrdreamr immerses listeners in a state of endless reverie.

With over 60 releases to their ever-expanding discography, Glasgow-based record label Invisible Inc. issue their 36th album courtesy of Double Geography...Our pick from the album is ‘Late Night Swimmer‘ – a nocturnal track suited for divers searching for divine light in the depths of the ocean. Displacing gravity, Double Geography sculpts a discerning downtempo soundtrack replete with a synthesised chorus of celestial sounds and a lively percussion arrangement reminiscent of stormy skimming stones reflecting pristine waters.

Cementing their 10th release, Brooklyn-based imprint Intimate Inanimate deliver the seven-track ‘Water From The River’ EP from label head honcho Aria Rostami...Our pick from the EP is the fifth track 'Water Returning' - a blue-emerald ambient voyage in which Rostami conveys the feeling of lost thoughts, trudging relentlessly through a vast kelp forest in the abyssal waters, rustling in synergy all along the way. 'Water Returning' incorporates sub-filtered oscillations, FX-heavy frequencies and ebullient arpeggios to create an aura of healing and comfort enclosed in a soundproofed sarcophagus.

Following up 'Selected Works of Anthony Braxton' EP from multi-instrumentalist sextet Ferry Good Company, Danish imprint Don't Look Back prepare to release '2x2x2' EP from Barcelona-born now Copenhagen-based composer Xavier Bonfill...Our pick is '2x2 (bell plate version)' thanks to its entrancing sound bath enclosed by mirroring steel sheets. As crystal quartz symphonies are broadcasted from underworld cave systems, Marta Soggetti and Lorenzo Colombo sculpt an ambient soundscape filled with FX-soaked bell plate polyphony culminating in a whirlwind of analogue noise spirals.
