Lichtstimme
The starting point is E. T. A. Hoffmann's The Sandman: a world where perception and reality drift apart, and the question of identity remains unresolved. Recognition, in Hoffmann, is never quite secure. The doppelgänger is less a figure than a condition, the point at which the self can no longer vouch for itself.The first record, Lichtstimme begins in an open, almost weightless sonic world. Something still appears untouched. The music carries a sense of proximity, clarity and trust. But this sen…

Cyano
In Cyano, synthesist and composer Emily A. Sprague questions self, other, ecology, and life in a distant realm. Conjured around the idea of an imagined planet whose inhabitants are rebuilding forbidden capacities for expressivity and emotional connection, Cyano is a meditation on visibility, psychic transformation, light transmission, and worlds beyond our knowing materialized through an intuitive use of modular synthesizers and voice.
Saga
On the eve of the 15th anniversary of Vladimir Karpov’s voyaging, visionary solo synth entity X.Y.R., the project unveils its vastest quest yet: Saga. Recorded and revised intermittently at his home studio in Alexandrovskaya, St. Petersburg across 11 years, the album’s four side-long songs span overlapping panoramas of twilit drone, desert wind, stargate electronics, and jungle temple percussion, alternately elevated and desolate. Working with his signature Soviet-era synthesizer, the Formanta-M…

Parity Symmetry is Conserved
Rekombinant is the solo project of Rome based composer and sound artist Alfonso Montagnese. Blending electroacoustic composition, analogue electronics, magnetic tape and sound design, his work explores the physical qualities of sound, embracing imperfection, transformation and degradation as expressive compositional tools. Borrowing its title from the physical principle of parity symmetry, the album is less interested in scientific theory than in the possibility that an identity may endure even …

First released on September 6, 2006, the eight-track album established a musical language that Sullivan would continue to explore and refine for the next two decades: slowly unfolding electronics, treated guitar, soft rhythmic movement and melody shaped less by conventional structure than by memory, atmosphere and emo…

Overleaf was recorded over the course of a few intense months in 2026.

The process gradually became a kind of puzzle, built from accumulated sounds, accidents and imperfections. Tap…
Night Rider
Madelyn Byrd returns to Glasgow’s Somewhere Press with a hazed set of weightless soundscapes. »Night Rider« opens in widescreen with the chirp of cicadas dancing across a desert landscape, before Shiroishi’s saxophone eventually cuts through the dark like neon.
