A Distant Reflection was originally written and recorded in 2020 and was originally released as a long form digital release only. Clocking in at almost 60 minutes long “A Distant Reflection” explores the relationship between deep shifting atmospheric synth drones, unusual found sounds/field recordings and emotive improvised key sections that bring a sense of stillness and subtle emotional impact.

Upon its original release the feedback from various supporters was very strong and it has been of those digital pieces that some have requested a physical CD release on a few occasions and as a personal favourite I felt it was time to release it on CD.

For this 2023 CD release I decided to return to the track and I have made some subtle changes to the mix and arrangement. the addition of further stereo enhancement, additional FX sweeps giving it a more dream like essence in certain moments and changing the end with the reappearance of the improvised piano as the track fades away.

To fill the CD I’ve also included to brand new compositions which I feel compliment the title track but also stand on their own as shorter pieces.

Originally released on Carpe Sonum and sold out!

A departure from the space ambient of the previous release, Autumn of Communion 4 is a joyful beat-infused descent back to earth, somewhat reminiscent of the second release in the series. A bit of wanderlust is evident in these new tracks, so grab your headphones and revel in the sonic wizardry that meanders forth in unexpected directions, shifting the mood as well as the sonic terrain.

The good Dr. Atmo is back, returning in this new year of 2023 with another sparkling foray into the wellspring of tincture and texture. The word Nubali doesn’t have an official definition, but it might indeed conjure many images: far-flung civilizations, cosmogenesis, the birthplace of ancient astronauts perhaps? One thing is for certain: this sprightly, sparkling, bubbly music is an unabashed delight for the senses, the kind of syncopated percolations ex-pat Tangerine Dreamers and Berlin school graduates would be proud of, particularly if gene-spliced with a decidedly 90s affectation more than suggestive of Namlook aglow in the aura of his Orb. “Dua” is all kaleidoscopic sequencer laced with intergalactic brio, while “Empat” chugs and fugs mightily along on a spring-tight chassis shedding starshine as it goes. The lengthy “Delapan” moves through so many moods, memories, and striations the ear is permanently fixed in dazzle-mode: synths glint off rainbow-etched prisms, breathy cymbals achieve some rhythmic byplay, weird will-o-the-wisps sift and shimmer about like so much windblown ephemera. Get thee ticket on the magical mystery tour to Nubali at once—Dr.’s orders.
