10 notable ambient releases of April.
Sebby Kowal – Everything Beautiful

Beauty surrounds us everywhere, whether gazing at the sky or diving into the ocean, as there is beauty beneath the water's surface. Let's strive to discover beauty within ourselves and the world around us.
Marco Lucchi & Henrik Meierkord – Lieder Ohne Worte
Label:Â Chitra Records (USA)
Genre, style: #ambient #neoclassical #kosmische
Format:Â digital, CD
A testament to the interplay of this work together is that a listener might be hard-pressed to discern which of their recordings are the result of long-distance file-trading, and which occurred when the two managed to be in the same place at the same time.
Tim Six – Homing
Label:Â Atlantea Records (Belgium)
Format:Â digital, CD, cassette
Homing is the inherent ability of an animal to navigate towards an original location through unfamiliar areas.
Olli Aarni – Yö n​ä​kyy
Label:Â Dauw (Belgium)
Format:Â digital, vinyl
The album comprises of 2 longform pieces where tape loops take a central place. Short snippets and longer waves gradually go back and forth and slowly build up spaces where the listener can settle in easily. The touching softness of his work does the trick again and depicts the unique voice of the artist.
Marine Eyes – To Belong
Label:Â Past Inside the Present (USA)
Genre, style:Â #ambientÂ
Format:Â digital, vinyl, CD
Through Bernard’s (aka Marine Eyes) meditative methods, belonging is approached as it should be: a rare and delicate sensation that might describe one’s place in the physical world, in the continuum of time, or in the arms of a loved one.
Arbee – Pr​é​visions
Label:Â Florina Cassettes (Canada)

Deep dreamy meditative ambient in the new album by Mathieu Lamontagne. A very poetic work that needs to be thoroughly experienced.
