This is a continuation of the sound we've come to love from Sascha, yet here the emotional detailing feels sharper, the storytelling more present. Each composition is shorter, more eventful, and each one invit…
Zart
The second album by the German ambient composer Sascha on The Fact of Being. A year after his high reclaimed "Seeds on Talks" that has been recorded for 7 years, Sascha returns much faster. A huge evolution in sound but the same Sascha's style. The minimalistic shine of clear analog sound, the slow and transparent like an early morning.

Dream Flow
*80 copies limited edition* In the sleep of forms, everything bends and unravels. “Dream Flow” is a liquid threshold — a single current from the first drop to the vanishing of the self. It does not tell a dream: it lets it happen, like a thought forgetting it ever began. Raindrops arise in sinking feelings; fractures bloom where things are hollow — a recasting of indices spirals toward the vanishing, and the echo dreams itself anew.

Onda ~ Particella
*70 copies limited edition* Music, in its deepest essence, has always represented a means of inquiry into reality—a sensitive way of questioning the world. A way of observing, deconstructing, and reassembling reality through an imaginative lens. A reality that is never given once and for all, but instead presents itself as a process in constant flux, as a shifting appearance. Music, understood in this way, is not something separate from reality, but a transfigured emanation of it, capable of tra…

It is at once intimate and cosmic, drawing on the challenges and possibilities of their artistic exchange, tearing down technique to access all the ex…
Am I Conscious Now ?
You will be aware of the work of James McKeown and his Hawksmoor project. A catalogue of 13 significant and substantial records made in less than a decade. James can be said to be operating in the realm of ambient music. There are song structures and often beautiful melodies deployed - and more often than you might expect. He can be psycho-geographical, and woozily hauntological at times. There are shades of Eno, Tangerine Dream, Cluster and Michael Rother - but nothing is ever copied. It's deta…
