Next to the man himself, awakened souls and Beno�t Pioulard also feature with the former offering ‘Valleys and Peaks’ from Julia’s poem which blends Cynthia’s ethereal vocals and James Bernard’s bass with swirling synths and guitar. Beno�t Pioulard’s lo-fi folk-pop ‘A Heart Mirrored’ and dreamy ‘Our Era’ reflect his signature style while Zake’s cinematic pieces, including ‘I Saw An Angel,’ pay tribute to the inspiration of his wife. A lovely listen with a great concept

“Aiko Takahashi is a Nova Gorica-based musician, a spirit that has released albums on various labels. Just like the line that separates the two cities where Aiko lives, Gorizia and Nova Gorica, divided between two countries yet united as one, Aiko’s music exists on a boundary. A line that separates silence from peculiar, almost imperceptible sounds. Too quiet to be Ambient, too Ambient to be Sound Art.

Two years ago, after a first complete release on IIKKI with “It Could Have Been A Beautiful”, Aiko Takahashi comes back with a second complete album, this time, on LAAPS.

“This album is a delicate, meditative collection recorded between March and November 2024 in Aiko’s former studio, a secluded spot near the River Isonzo, between Gorizia and Nova Gorica in Slovenia. The Grass Harp was made specifically for LAAPS, who asked Aiko to create a new complete piece of sounds. As always, it was largely recorded using dense layers of manipulated loops that weave in and out of the recordings, shaping them in a singular way through effects pedals, tape decks, and tape loops. The Grass Harp is a meditation on decay and silence, blending warm soundscapes with soft, playful melodies. That’s Aiko’s signature sound.””

Music From Memory is proud to present ‘SUN SHONE’ by Loradeniz, the multidisciplinary music and art project of Istanbul-born, Amsterdam-based Deniz Omeroglu. ‘SUN SHONE’ marks the arrival of her debut full-length album: eight tracks of ambient electronic music painted masterfully with a palette of synthesizers, effects, percussion and ethereal voice.

‘SUN SHONE’ was conceived in two parts: the first tracks coming spontaneously to life in the aftermath of heartbreak, with Omeroglu trusting the creative flow and using it as a method of self- healing. What was initially planned as an EP release grew into a full-length album as she spent one month consciously working on the perfect B-side to complement the music.

Omeroglu wrote, performed and produced everything on the album, drawing on her deep knowledge of music theory and production; in addition to studying classical piano in the Conservatory from an early age, she holds both a Bachelor’s degree in Composition Studies and a Masters degree in Sound Design.

Many of the compositions on ‘SUN SHONE’ centre around interplaying synth arpeggios, oscillators expertly tuned for an equal degree of menace and sweetness that balances on a knife-edge. This ambiguity is echoed lyrically across the record, with its recurring themes of love lost and memories revisited. From the spoken word of opener ‘Saint Odds’ and ‘Swimmer’ to the layered choral swells of ‘No Moon’ and the melodic hooks of ‘Brick House’, Omeroglu’s voice is central to ‘SUN SHONE’, employed with impressive versatility. At times, it feels simultaneously fragile and powerful, perhaps nowhere more so than in the yearning swells of “Cloud Sofa’, a healing lullaby for lost love that offers up one of the most delicate moments on the album.

Argentina’s ambient Japan-o-philes return to Australia’s Temples of Jura label for a final part of a trilogy inspired by the country’s ‘80s sound; a suite of perfumed atmospheres in homage to the OG environmental music movement.

The 15-part album sways on the mind in cutely puckered parts of harmonised, hyaline rhythmelody and shimmering new age-y synth washes that tick off all the cliches in its waft from the awning choral pads of the title piece to the winks at Ryuichi Sakamoto’s ‘Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence’ in ‘Kyoto Sound Logo’, and time-keeping FM synth doorbell pulse of ‘Seiko’.

“The album unfolds as the imagined soundtrack to life in a quiet rural village, where nature and tradition shape the rhythm of everyday existence. Across 15 evocative compositions, The Kyoto Connection captures the essence of Japan’s ever-changing seasons, weaving together delicate melodies and immersive soundscapes. With contributions from friends and fans in Japan, Four Seasons in Kyoto is both a tribute and a transportive listening experience from producer Facundo Arena, the composer and producer behind The Kyoto Connection.

With Four Seasons in Kyoto, Facundo Arena continues his deep exploration of Japanese ambient and environmental music, blending his long-standing admiration for Kyoto’s cultural heritage with a sound that feels both nostalgic and timeless. While Postcards was an instinctive homage and The Flower, The Bird and The Mountain drew from real Kyoto field recordings, this final chapter in the trilogy leans further into the imagined, an intimate portrait of an unseen yet deeply felt Japan.

Sähkö’s occasional jazz series hosts a trio of hypnotic downbeat and 4th world ambient excursions by low key leading lights in the respective fields, Roméo Poirier, Memotone and Bruno Pronsato.

The revered Finnish label’s programming skills are A+ on this one, coaxing out an unusual yet seductive alternative side to minimal techno artist Bruno Pronsato, alongside more atypical parts of enigmatic hush and finesse from sferic and Faitiche regular, Roméo Poirier, and Bristol’s Memotone on return to the fold after a superb self-titled EP in ’23.

A key player in the ’00s minimal techno movement, Berlin-based US artist Bruno Pronsato transposes that sound’s crisp, spacious detailing and fluidity to downtempo frameworks in an ace A-side ‘Above the Launderette (Manières Bizarres Mix)’, with 12 mins of sublime, noirish tension that feels like a particularly oddball Perlon number played at 33 not 45RPM at a David Lynch afterparty.

Romeo Poirier opens the B-side nearly 10 years since ‘Plage Arrière’ placed them on the map, gauzily saluting/squinting at the distant inspiration of Jon Hassell with the blurred brass plumes and pulses of ‘Thalassocratie’ that also recall the vertiginous scope of Eli Keszler, and beautifully in key with the weightless jazz physics to Memotone’s sylvan inscape, ‘The Way In(side).

Fascinating insights into the hidden language of plants from botanist Yuji Dogane and composer Mamoru Fujieda, originally conceived and recorded for a 1994 installation in Tokyo.

Featuring selections from the CD presented by the K-planning label in ’94, now reissued for the first time, ‘Ecological Plantron’ highlights its ‘Evening’ and ‘Night’ parts. While the label make clear that the sounds are intended as non-musical - as in they weren’t composed, but rather, occurred - they patently take on an absorbing form of para-melodic structure and incidental rhythm, with thanks to the way Fujieda helped convert their energies into audible sounds.

In ‘Evening’ they come to resemble an experimental improv set to our ears, not the raging type, but something more akin to Tomoko Sauvage’s trickling water and clay pot tinkering, or a bittersweet modular synth improvisation, while the ‘Night’ part yields a more chattering flow of information and burbling rhythm that may well best deciphered by vegans, who are likely best attuned to the plants’ innate energies.

Strange and wonderful gear.
