Soft sounds spread like fog through the hall where, gradually, the non-performing Philharmonic players merged with the audience.
"306" finds the connection between the musicality of an excellent saxophonist and the field recordings of a rich soundscape.

Like looking at an old photograph when dreaming; the flow of sonic vapour is at the same time familiar and new. The sound gardens sprout with new meaning every listen, their free compositions unraveling in patience and glistening with promise.

Empty Space Symbols, by Phexioenesystems 8 track album

~OA12~ Phexioenesystems - Empty Space Symbols
@phxsys.bsky.social in full force, creating a mysterious sonic world — abstract, emotional, and unknown — ripe for cultivation. An assortment of moments in a time of a place, as if caught existing spontaneously by themselves.
Lands October 31st.

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

Six Compositions for Whistling, by Wysocki / Jaśniewski 6 track album

~OA11~ Wysocki / Jaśniewski - Six Compositions for Whistling
"Fischerle" and "Genetics & Windsurfing" - but as a duo they play with your perception presenting playful track names on the outside and, inside, a collage of sound in the vein of musique concrète updated for the modern world.

Slowmotion, by Monika Pich 4 track album

~OA10~ Monika Pich - Slowmotion
Monika Pich deftly marries the deep, rumbly synth sounds with a nostalgic, almost romantic use of instruments offering nothing less than a masterpiece of mood.

We’re happy to present two albums from our beloved (cough) Poland, an eclectic long-form drift through a horizon flattened by the immense perspective of time, and a discordant entity playing by its own rules, clashing digital precision with analogue rawness.
The albums release this Friday, the 27th.

"A sonic representation of distinct moments and feelings experienced during recovery, a vulnerable, minimalistic voyage of an ailing body and resilient mind. Raw, imperfect, and restorative, reminding us of the fragile yet constant rhythm of life."

First up, by @mutebranches.bsky.social:
"Nine cinematic tracks weave and bob through warm fuzzy drones, colourful electronica, radio-sampled audio collage, retro-futuristic daydreams, guitar-led drifty slowcore, up to dark ambient meditations."
