‘Leaving the Flock’ unfolds in a hazy, lo-fi world of tape loops, simple guitar figures, and drifting field recordings. Warm, saturated, and softly unstable, the album leans into blur and imperfection - a slow-moving soundscape where comfort and uncertainty quietly overlap.

Three artists connected through improvisation, electronic composition, and a shared attention to sound as environment. , an interdisciplinary artist based in Taipei, brings a practice rooted in personal geography and the transformative power of improvisation. , long known for his work with The Sea and Cake and his explorations of modular synthesis, expands that language through subtle melodic movement and electronic texture. , the ambient project of Milwaukee’s Steve Zydek, works with synthesizer hardware, tape recorders, and computer-aided composition to create immersive, reflective soundscapes.

Across the record, low pulses, flickering harmonics, sustained tones, and tape-like drift gather into a wide field of sound. The music feels spacious but never still, hovering between calm and unease, with warm frequencies swelling like water rising in the dark. What begins as atmosphere becomes a meditation on pressure, shelter, and exposure: a response to nature’s force not as backdrop, but as memory, vibration, and shared experience.

Good Morning from LV NV 🏜️

We’re proud to announce ‘Vessel’, the new album from ✨ Available on all digital platforms + a limited edition of 100 vinyl records 🎧

Link in bio / mysterycircles.com

Proposed as a kind of spiritual follow-up to David Rothbaum’s ‘Miniatures’ project, ‘Vessel’ began with a broad archive of recordings Matt created over the past several years. Together, we pulled from that ocean of sketches, fragments, and captured moments to shape a collection that felt like it belonged to the same world. From there, he arranged those pieces into a cohesive sonic narrative, writing new material to fill the gaps and complete the story.

The result is a record that feels both discovered and deliberately composed: part found collage, part intentional construction. Across 17 concise tracks, ‘Vessel’ moves with intimacy, patience, and quiet emotional force. Built with modular synths, tape loops, desktop synthesizers, pedals, and time, the album captures the beauty of small gestures and fleeting impressions. The track titles remain the dates on which each piece was originally recorded, preserving the immediacy at the heart of the project.
