Instrumental

An atmospheric and melancholy electronic track from the album Kosmos (1978) by Tomita, spurred on by hearing his soundtrack from the film Demon Pond.

Now for an artist I don’t know much about: Ziggurath and his most recently released album of fantasy-tinges ambiences, True North (2024).

“Wheel Of Earth” is a track from one of several early cassette releases that came out in the early 80s from American sound composer Robert Rich.

The holiday season is here and for various reasons I sort of singled out Mick Karn‘s 1982 album Titles as one to soundtrack the festive period.

A magical, icy instrumental number called “Dark River” from Coil‘s third album, Love’s Secret Domain, that has had some lasting power for me.

With the atmosphere of winter kicking in, a re-listen of the work of American composer and sound artist Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe seemed in order.

In discovering a number of soundtrack pieces for giallo films, this uneasy short piece by Italian composer Riz Ortolani came to my attention.

A hidden atmospheric number from the second side of “Yinglish”, the fourth and final collaboration of German musicians Gina X and Zeus Beheld.

A track by Caroline K with a solemn, Gregorian quality about it, including subtle shifts in phrasing and chords that each shift sort of changes the audio “colour”.
