Statica Memoria
With Statica Memoria, zakè returns to Affin for his third solo album. Over the past years, his work with the label has developed into a distinct and continuing body of work, shaped by an ongoing exploration of duration, resonance and the spaces that emerge when sound is given enough time to unfold.
zakè has developed a particular way of approaching long-form ambient music. His compositions create an open environment in which listening can move freely between close attention and complete absorpti…
mere meer
Tokyo-based producer aus debuts on Squama with his new album mere meer. Grounded in the question of how a specific environment can emerge through voice and memory, rather than through recording of an objective reality, the album stands in the tradition of modern Japanese Ambient and Kankyo Ongaku. aus is the solo project of Tokyo-born composer, producer, and curator Yasuhiko Fukuzono. His music is characterized by a precise combination of cinematic strings, acoustic instrumentation, and concrete…
Woven Static
Many of the field recordings on this album I recorded standing still with my phone or zoom capturing quiet moments. But like silence, true stillness doesn’t exist. Our perception of time creates the illusion of stillness. That perception is not rigid, it can fluctuate and bend. Everyone around us experiencing time differently. I built the foundation of the music around this idea. Nothing in sync, many different loops varying in length. Some fairly recent recordings, others from years ago. I've u…
Grisaille
Grisaille is shaped by reduction, intuition, and time. Woven from a deliberately restricted palette, the pieces emerge from musical systems set in motion and allowed to unfold according to their own internal logic. Rather than following a fixed compositional path, they drift, accumulate, and transform: forms revealing themselves gradually through interaction, repetition, and change. The work foregrounds the first gesture. Takes are retained as they arrive rather than rehearsed into place, preser…
Temporary
Berlin-based Dutch-Italian composer and musician Aimée Portioli aka Grand River presents the new album Temporary, returning to the renowned Editions Mego label with her most expansive and focused LP yet. Rooted in existential ideas of impermanence and flux, Temporary is a deeply emotive work centred on the rich interplay between resonant guitar work and innovative electronics. Written in the wake of profound personal grief and loss, the album sees Portioli infuse her music with a raw, expressive…

Headache Contest
A few weeks ago I hit up this resale shop I haven't been to before. Serious junk store.. stuff piled up everywhere, I had to lay on a pile of Christmas wreaths just to dig through some of the records. Anyway... I get to the electronics room. Ironically enough it has no lights... I start looking with the flashlight from my phone. Mountains of wires and junk and speakers and modems. I see this metal box laying randomly under a bunch of wires, I pull it out thinking it's probably some old telephone…

Lowland: In Three
*50 copies limited edition* Lowlands: In Three is a 44-minute suite in three movements, built around hazy drone and distant guitars.

Overflowed Shelters
*200 copies limited edition* “Overflowed shelters” is one of the many possible reactions to the sadness and anger that reality awakened in us in 2024. We still remain in that state, witnessing something we never believed we would see. Yet it confronts us daily, slowly infiltrating our being. This urge to react arises from within and asserts itself as a necessity. We composed and performed our sounds. Now they will be released and will travel, metaphorically, to reach others in the form of a desi…

Deep Ground
*300 copies limited edition* 'Deep Ground' is where Purl found its foundations, in the misty forests, gloomy dusks and shimmering dawns of my youth. Continuing from the debut EP 'Ground', a work completed in 2004 and released four years later, 'Deep Ground' furthers its excavation into the soil from which we all rise. A few chapters were unveiled between them – the sequence of release rarely correspond to the sequence of creation (especially not in my early days of sending burned CD demos across…
Replicant Memories
*2026 stock. 200 copies limited edition* There is no way I can formulate in words how deeply the music of Brock Van Wey has impacted my life. It started with envy. I was a confused young man, living with a friend who I looked up to a lot, and we were DJ-ing together (only vinyls of course). My friend bought a copy of one of the first ever bvdub releases to come out, and he was in love with it. I had been trying to get my music released for years with no success, and here was this guy with vinyl …

Wind
Before becoming recognized as an influential figure in ambient music, Gigi Masin was working for the Italian postal service. In 1986, he privately released Wind, his first album, choosing to share it mainly with friends and audiences at his intimate performances rather than pursue a commercial distribution. Much of the remaining vinyl disappeared when a flood destroyed his Venetian home. The album’s origins went back to Masin’s years as a local radio DJ, when he used the station’s equipment to e…
Whispering Ln. Vol. II
Whispering Ln. Vol. II was recorded between 2018 and 2019 in America, alongside the pieces that formed the first album. These recordings belong to the same time and space, shaped by the same quiet focus and slow attention to sound. While remaining rooted in minimalism, this album introduces several more rhythmic pieces, drawing inspiration from early electronic music – echoes of composers such as Tom Dissevelt and Raymond Scott.
Movement and stillness coexist throughout this record. Rhythms and …
