Ellen Arkbro observes the space in-between on ‘Sounds While Waiting’, setting up sustained chords on multiple organs in an old Swedish church and revealing subtle, mysterious harmonics. It’s her most dense, celestial and satisfying set to date - essential listening for fans of Éliane Radigue, La Monte Young, Catherine Christer Hennix or Sarah Davachi.

Limited edition (400) vinyl with artwork by Ian Anderson and double CD, The CD contains the tracks from Mark’s previous album ‘Plan For A Miracle’ (edda64lp)* Pioneering British electronic musician Mark Van Hoen is set to release his latest solo album, The Eternal Present, on 23 May 2025 via Dell’Orso, a remarkable collection of tracks spanning nearly three decades of recordings from 1998 to 2024. The Eternal Present embodies its philosophical title, inspired by Joseph Campbell’s concept that “Eternity isn’t some later time... Eternity is that dimension of here and now that all thinking in temporal terms cuts off.” The album explores music as the ultimate expression of existing in the present moment, transcending time and creating a sonic experience that is simultaneously “spectral, ghostly, melodic, harmonic, and decayed.” An influential contemporary of Aphex Twin, Autechre, LFO and Boards of Canada, Van Hoen is best known for his solo work as Locust in the mid-‘90s, which helped push post-rave electronic music into newly challenging realms. His extensive discography spans releases on influential labels including R&S, Touch, and Editions Mego. Van Hoen has worked on numerous collaborations throughout his career, including with Nick Holton and Neil Halstead of Slowdive under the moniker Black Hearted Brother—their album Stars Are Our Home was released in 2013.

Beatrice Dillon lands on Editions GRM with a dynamic, rhythmelodic investigation of abstract space inspired by the basho philosophy of Kitarō Nishida, while Hideki Umezawa uses Bernard and François Baschet’s idiosyncratic 1950s sound structures to power a dizzying electro-acoustic collage.

Hell Yeah have been busy making musical connections and reaching out to like-minded beatmakers once again. This time, it is Pier Paolo Polcari aka Polcari, a founding member of cult Italian band Almamegretta, who steps up with the magnificent new album I Will Try To Imitate The Birds. The eight-track record also features Adriano Viterbini, another Italian music icon and guitarist with the revered Bud Spencer Blues Explosion and I Hate My Village as well as Ubjk, San Ignacio and Sergio Dileo.

Label head Marco first got in touch with Polcari after he remixed Italian cultural hero Sergio Messina’s cover of ‘Fly Away’ back in 2021. The pair began sharing music, discussing their favourite records and, eventually, the natural next step was to work towards the album now served up here.

The multi-talented Polcari is a master of downtempo sounds and as well as several solo projects that fuse trip hop, folk, dub and world music, he made a global mark as part of Almamegretta. The revered Naples band formed in the late 80s and has worked with greats like Massive Attack and Adrian Sherwood across more than 15 albums and are currently on a special 30th anniversary tour. Also playing on the album are Adriano Viterbini, a composer and member of blues-rock outfit Bud Spencer Blues Explosion, San Ignacio who is a downtempo and cumbia innovator behind the much sought-after albums like La Identidad Es Una Trampa and Sergio Dileo, sax player in the much-loved Naples band Nu Genea as well as being a busy jazz collaborator.

Opener ‘Jardino’ Feat. San Ignacio sets a laidback vibe from the off with gently breaking drums topped with whimsical melodies. ‘Vita Nova’ is cavernous dub with more lush instrumentals, xylophones and wispy synth motifs making for a world escape and ‘Mundo’ (Feat. Ubjk) has an air of Eastern melody with delicate pads and glowing keys floating above the pillowy drums. ‘The Birds’ (Feat. Adriano Viterbini) has fluttering harp strings that bring real beauty to a downtempo groove packed with vocoder vocals, synth smears and organic percussion.

New Environments & Rhythm Studies finds Andrew Pekler returning to the humid zones he explored on previous albums such as Sounds From Phantom Islands and Tristes Tropiques. Split between longer immersive compositions and shorter glimpse-like sketches, these 12 tracks feature new juxtapositions of Pekler’s familiar palette of synthetic field recordings, warm, undulating electronic textures, shifting percussion patterns and serene melodies.

As with much of his recent work, Pekler’s compositions here are structured around the beguiling effect of synthetic and non-synthetic sounds mirroring, mimicking and modulating one another. The teeming atmospheres within tracks such as Globestructures, Cymbals In The Mist or Globestructures: Option II are, despite their seemingly anthropogenic nature, entirely synthetic. Elsewhere, the lopsided grooves of Cumbia Para Los Grillos or Fabulation For K are derived from recordings of crickets and other insects which Pekler loops and uses to trigger electronic percussion – producing a pleasantly skewed rhythmic base for the fragments of melody which are layered on top. The six Rhythm Studies also follow the same principle – a playful interweaving of the organic and synthetic.

New Environments & Rhythm Studies is a further attempt to re-describe past tropes which laid claims to authentically represent music and sound from beyond the Western world (exotica, ethnomusicology, field recording) as undertakings of the imaginary.
