Le Code – Vol De Nuit

The latest release by Le Code, featuring Philippe Deschamps and Edoardo Gastaldi, focuses on the fear of flying. It is a cathartic attempt to find beauty and reverie when you're soaring high in these big flying machines. And hope to land in one piece at the end.

Tomosla is the collaborative alias of UK sound artists James Osland and Thomas Hoey.

Ian Hawgood – Well, Here We Are
Label: Quiet Details (UK)

Ian is not only a musical visionary, he’s a wonderful and open human. He’s had some tough times over the past few years and on this album lays all his emotions bare.

Ozbolt - Chasyng Drakens
Label: Whitelabrecs (UK)
Genre, style: #ambient #drone #ambientjazz
Format: digital, CD
The album’s origins trace back to a chance experiment—setting up a rental harp in a coastal tree to let the wind play its strings. The resulting tones were so captivating that Andy sought to preserve them, leading to the spontaneous collection of field recordings throughout his travels.

Anthéne - Descendre
Label: Oscarson (Germany)
Genre, style: #ambient #drone #neoclassical #noise
Format: digital, vinyl
A wonderful album from the prolific artist from Ontario, Canada. Gentle synth waves are accompanied by quiet noises.

David Cordero & Rhucle - So Far, So Close

Format: digital, CD
Both artists are known for their fragile ambient works with carefully constructed melodicism.

Heavenchord & Infinity Dots - Phos Hilaron
Label: Secret Domain (Russia)
Format: digital
An Easter album in which religious Christian ideas take on the form of clear, pure streams of sound.

Hayden Moon - The Catchment
Label: Altered States Tapes (Australia)
Genre, style: #ambient #drone #noise #downtempo #lofi
Format: digital, cassette
Ambient music can often be non-descript due to its very nature, but The Catchment is one clearly crafted with a maker's mark. There is much beyond face value in Moon's music and it rewards the listener's closer contemplation.
