Leonardo Barbierato
“]ex(s)it(u)[“
]ex(s)it(u)[ emerges from a gesture of displacement. The album gathers excerpts from [in situ], a series of site-specific, improvised music performances carried out between 2023 and 2025 within ecosystems marked by various forms of tension and precarity. During [in situ], performative and environmental sounds meet and overlap, generating space-times of cohabitation, not necessarily reconciliatory, between human and other-than-human elements.

Vitor Rua – Where The Sound Learns To Breath
Vitor Rua
“Where The Sound Learns To Breath”
Some music occupies time. This album attempts to return it.
Where The Sound Learns To Breathe emerged from a single, uninterrupted real-time performance, without edits or overdubs.
A Steinberger guitar, transformed through the Mood, Tensor, Hologram and Cosmos pedals, becomes more than an instrument: it unfolds into an ecosystem where every resonance gives birth to the next, as though sound itself were slowly learning how to breathe.
The three pieces tell no story and seek no destination. Instead, they open a place. A place where duration regains its depth, where listening steps away from urgency, and where silence becomes part of the music’s living substance rather than the space between events.
The music unfolds at an almost geological pace, allowing subtle shifts of timbre, texture and resonance to reveal landscapes that exist only for as long as they are being heard.
This record is an invitation to suspend, for a while, the accelerating rhythm of contemporary life, and to allow the air to keep listening long after the final sound has faded.

Philippe Blache – Embodied Shadow Of Thy Secret Mind
Philippe Blache
“Embodied Shadow Of Thy Secret Mind”
Mastermind behind the veteran neoclassic dark ambient project Day Before Us is back on Mahorka with a new solo album whose conceptual background explores unsettling “liminal spaces”, paramnesia and flowing affective memories. In this new release Philippe Blache teamed up with photographer and visual story teller objet-fantôme (Angela Caro). Liminal spaces are often marked with a sense of wander and vertigonous wonder to apprehend parapsychology and new possibilities of meaning with a subject trapped in unusual mental structures. The atmosphere of the pieces is based on meandering immersive textures and thrilling tones of high emotional value, depicting with sonorous analogies some imaginary territories, diving the listener in profound headscapes. All in all this new effort is a beautifully instrumental and carefully crafted musical excursion in melancholia and repetition. It is delivered in a nice package as limited physical edition (beautiful digisleeve CD), accompanied by the free (cc) digital version.
Written, recorded and arranged in Dole by Philippe Blache (alias Day Before Us)
Original artwork and layout by Angela Caro (objet-fantôme)
Special thanks to Ivo Petrov, Angela Caro, Giuseppe Verticchio, to new and loyal listeners.

Lu Joyce – Amphibia
Lu Joyce
“Amphibia”
Amphibia drifted beyond mapped constellations, communicating through pressure waves instead of language. Omni Dub awakened the vessel, its dub chords folding space into shimmering echoes. Leave dissolved gravity, allowing memories to float like luminous spores. Expo unfolded impossible architectures where experimental soundscapes replaced matter. On ignited a pulse—minimalistic rhythm structures guiding silent navigation across liquid galaxies. Orchid Dub bloomed in the vacuum, each resonance painting unseen atmospheres around forgotten moons. Pastele blurred the horizon into soft spectral colors, where time expanded between distant reflections. At the journey’s end, Dolphine surfaced from a cosmic ocean, singing through infinite delays until every echo became a new beginning. No destination remained, only endless drift inside the breathing resonance of Amphibia, where silence itself learned to bloom.

“Life”
Takashi Izeki presents Life, a sonic universe where the guitar breathes through ambient and atmospheric sound.
His music blends hypnotic rhythms with lush textures, guiding the listener on a serene and deeply emotional journey.

A contemplative, intense, and deeply immersive album, meant to be experienced without haste.

Christophe Bailleau O'Farrell – Romantic, Visceral
Christophe Bailleau O’Farrell
“Romantic, Visceral”
Released July 3, 2026 as free (cc) digital download and in beautiful limited CD edition.
“Rare Moments … There are times when a musician seems possessed by an extraordinary creative energy. Christophe Bailleau O’Farrell is undeniably going through one of these periods. His albums follow one another at a steady pace, yet this abundance is never accompanied by any loss of momentum: each new release enriches a constantly expanding universe.
With “Romantic, Visceral”, Bailleau O’Farrell continues this inspired dynamic. A composer, programmer, pianist, guitarist, flutist, and soundscape artist, the musician from the Liège province also knows how to surround himself with the most relevant collaborators: Julien Ash, A Limb, Kozik, or Jordane Prestrot.
“My vision of Romantism: a quest of beauty and mystery, truth…” specifies Christophe.
“Romantic, Visceral” approaches its subject with a discreetly brilliant touch. Here, the displayed romanticism has nothing to do with outdated nostalgia. It is a permanent quest for mystery, infatuated with that murky, Baudelairean, exhilarating beauty!
Christophe Bailleau O’Farrell is a musician in a state of absolute grace!”
–Ilian Mirov, June 2026
“My friend, my mentor is dead. The universe has split in two, me in the middle.
How to find your way back to dreams, to yourself?
Romanticism (and the internal transformations it brings about) is a necessity in a world parched with age.
Fall into darkness. Get up. Recover, leave, hope, continue.
Romantism, visceral.
>From the manure comes the rose.”

More than a retrospective, Selected Works 2000–2026 stands as a testament to Alcyon’s artistic evolution between 2000 and 2026.

Bohdan Stupak – spring
Bohdan Stupak
“spring”
As part of our digital series, Naviar Records is proud to release “Spring” by Ukrainian producer Bohdan Stupak. An immersive journey through field recordings and subtle guitar layers, where nature and the listener merge and experience the slow, relentless passing of time as one.
About the album, Bohdan Stupak says:
“Late autumn and winter of 2024 was really hard time for me, so when spring came, I decided to focus on it as a time of renewal and shedding away the past. Starting from early March and up to late May, I did a lot of field recordings in a local park to capture subtle changes that occur in nature and may be unnoticed by people who are too busy and preoccupied with their routines. Then I added some heavily processed guitar, although I tried to keep it as minimal as possible, so the nature would be the main performer.”

Sora Fujishima – Wind Of Lament
Sora Fujishima
“Wind Of Lament”
A new artist joins the MiMi Records catalog. Sora Fujishima presents Wind Of Lament, a four-track EP that drifts between ambient, field recordings, and drone. Inspired by the image of wind as a carrier of memories and emotions, the release unfolds through delicate and immersive sonic landscapes.
Ambient textures flow like ever-changing breezes, while field recordings capture echoes from the physical world and weave them into a contemplative narrative. Extended drones move through the compositions like deep air currents, expanding the listener’s sense of space and time.
Between the breath of ambient music and the gusts of drone, Wind Of Lament emerges as a subtle and engaging listening experience, where silence, atmosphere, and attentive listening take center stage.

“Roark 243”
Dark Layers of granulated endlessness.
Block chain spirits, that free themselves.
XR travelling with sound implants.
We end the year 2025 like it began: with some darker sound art IDM by Bourbon Military. Beginning with a new/an old year’s speech to the masses (transcription & translation included in the zip file), the release then transforms into a multi layered adventure in sound, session elements, neural stimulation, a concert of despair, hope and light , which is quite matching for the year. This is the soundtrack for a next virtual Blade Runner movie. For the time when Hollywood Hans will be retired.

Takuro Takeda – TEXTET
Takuro Takeda
“TEXTET”
TEXTET was produced by Takuro Takeda some time ago, but is only now seeing the light of day. In this work, Takeda explores ambient drone landscapes marked by silence, resonance, and urban atmosphere.
The title evokes a fragmented transmission, while the cover — a building beneath a dark blue sky — suggests a space suspended between memory and emptiness.
Throughout the album, slow-moving drones, analog feedback, and degraded textures create an immersive and contemplative experience. Inspired by Japanese environmental minimalism and industrial drone, Takeda builds dense yet subtle compositions where sound seems to slowly expand through space.
A hypnotic, nocturnal, and deeply atmospheric record.

Ash Room
“Japanese Nyabinghi”
Tokyo-based artist Ash Room presents a new sonic statement, pushing his exploration of rhythm and repetition into uncharted territory.
Building on previous experiments blending Nyabinghi influences with techno, this latest project replaces conventional percussion entirely with the powerful resonance of traditional Japanese Wadaiko drums.
Every sound source, texture, and sample originates from Japanese materials, creating a deeply immersive and culturally rooted sound palette.
Designed for private spaces rather than crowded dance floors, the music embraces loops, noise, accidents, and the unexpected. Hypnotic, raw, and intimate, Ash Room crafts a listening experience for the solitary listener.
