Soja Calcium – Omerama
Soja Calcium
“Omerama”
A few months ago, I started having one on one video chats with people on the internet, completely at random, on an Omegle-like platform. Must have been thousands of people. Conversation duration would vary from a few seconds up to, say, 2–3 hours. Talked with people all over the world. Various languages, ethnicities, ages, etc. Soldiers in combat zones, neo-Nazis, flat-earthers, opera singers, Zulu tribe members, boxers, gypsies, oil rig workers, illegal immigrants, terminal cancer patients, Zionists, Talibans, Taliban victims, coke-addicted cops, rapping grandmas, gay Muslims… And of course, also a ton of “normal” people that were nonetheless just as interesting. For most of these interactions, I tried to channel my inner Louis Theroux and not pass judgment.
After a while, I felt the need to document this new hobby of mine. Started taking notes, then later would ask people to say something random I could record. Often, I would be making a track already, then would record someone and add it to the track immediately. So in that way, the tracks would influence the recordings, and the recordings would influence the tracks.
I tried to keep this collaborative theme throughout this release, and worked with this Tbilisi (Georgia) dancer to make a video (www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5nSjlUKvN0), and with a Russian label I really like for distribution.

Isien – Kanashibari World
Isien
“Kanashibari World”
Netlabel Day 2025:
Kanashibari World is a 9-track journey through memory and machine, crafted by electronic artist Isien. Drawing inspiration from the hazy, analog warmth of Boards of Canada and the neon-lit pulse of 1980s synth pioneers like Gary Numan and Depeche Mode, the album fuses nostalgic IDM textures, lo-fi rhythms, and melancholic synth melodies. Each track feels like a dream half-remembered – equal parts eerie and beautiful -immersing the listener in a retro-futuristic soundscape haunted by the ghosts of VHS tapes, analog static, and synthetic emotion.

Jazzaria – Lost Charm
Jazzaria
“Lost Charm”
Charm, lost – innocent. For want of clasp, the charm descended unexpectedly to locales unforeseen. It joins other once-charming brethren, evolving from expressions of personal joy to memories of the strangeness of circumstances. Retrieval is unlikely, but if you do discover charms, remember from whence they came.
Featuring piano, synth, and arpeggiator.

Matti T
“Cold White Light”
CONNECTION LOST
Backs of past lovers and friends
Disappearing in the crowd
Connection lost, secrets forgotten
Fade away
I loved and I loved and I always will
And you’ll never look back
COLD WHITE LIGHT
in your world I no longer exist
but in mine you are painfully real
at dark hours
I stare at my phone
hoping its cold white light would wake up and light the room
like the moon
and tell me
you suddenly remembered that I do exist

Krokar – Static Psalm
[phokes156]
Krokar
“Static Psalm”
«This is not a recording.
This is an emergence .
The album was born from tension — inner and outer.
It was not composed.
It came into being , as if spoken from another layer of reality.
There are no melodies here. No comfort. Only the density of sound, where every noise is an echo of something lost , and every silence holds the shape of what once was.
It does not offer joy.
It does not provide solace.
It simply stands , like a monument to what happened — and to what remained unsaid.
If you’ve ever heard speech in static , felt form in distortion , understood that noise can have a soul — then you are ready to listen.
Static Psalm is not music.
It is an address — one you can only hear if you are prepared to face the silence that follows.
This album is not for everyone.
But if it found you…
then you already know what it’s about.»

sternenspringer – The deep space
[tonAtom.147]
sternenspringer
“The deep space”
the soundscapes on “the deep space” are exactly that: deep, vast, immersive. while earlier releases like exoplanet and antipode charted stellar phenomena and inner contrasts, this new work seems to drift further outward — into uncharted dimensions between ambient, industrial atmospheres, intricate electronica, and classic techno/electro motifs. the boundaries dissolve, but the structure remains: each track is a unique constellation, orbiting within a carefully mapped sonic system.
in a time where much of electronic music gravitates toward formula, sternenspringer continue to embrace risk, nuance, and depth. this release is not just another chapter, but a reaffirmation of their commitment to sonic integrity and artistic independence.
and yet another fine tonAtom.net netaudio release.

An over half an hour long harsh noise navigation with definitely atmospheric, hypnotic and dark approach slightly marked with traces of distorted ambient, far from violent sonic abuse typical for the genre. A psychedelic, noisy journey with the Illinois artist.

FAF2 – The Lipsian Cave
FAF2
“The Lipsian Cave”
In the endless dusk of planet FAF2, The Lipsian Cave hums with low frequencies, echoing ancient rhythms beneath crystalline strata. Formed by sonic erosion, its corridors pulse with dubtechno reverberations—tones not made, but discovered. Seismic basslines sculpt chambers of resonance, each beat shifting tectonic plates of memory and time. No life dwells here, yet the cave listens, records, transforms. A natural archive of vibrations, its atmosphere distorts space, drawing satellites into rhythmic orbit. “The Lipsian Cave” is less a place than a phenomenon—an ambient relic of sound, looping forever, untouched by beings, yet alive with pure frequency and geological groove.

Filipe Miranda – RōSHI
[[mi339]]
Filipe Miranda
“RōSHI”
A reflection on a world of feeling—human, artistic, and political—through the natural dynamic of the master-disciple relationship.
RōSHI explores the ineffable within this bond, emphasizing a chain of transmission where the hidden essence is perpetually renewed.
The installation (Dec 2022):
Music and video engage with Francisco Trabulo’s work in a timeless dialogue, suggesting a continuous, universal essence where death holds no meaning.
The performance (17 Dec 2022):
Ephemeral sonic elements are added to this ongoing flow, marking a unique moment that complements the installation. Life stories intersect, and transmission occurs.
Recorded live at the Vila Nova de Cerveira International Art Biennial, by Marco Lima (Hertzcontrol)
Note/Thanks:
The performance includes excerpts of Francisco Trabulo’s voice from a 2006 academic documentary by Joana Ferreira, Ana Maria Silva, and Bruno Costa (ESE-IPVC), produced within the Olhar o Real workshop – Ao Norte.

Anomalia Rodrigues
“Fim Do Maio Ou O Princípio Da Incerteza”
“Fim Do Maio Ou O Princípio Da Incerteza” is the latest album release by Anomalia Rodrigues (the project of the multifaceted Paulo Couto) and the artist’s second album with another alter ego on MiMi Records.
Here we have a project of free and experimental improvisation, recorded in a single take with a primitive smartphone and no post-production editing.
This lo-fi work captures the raw and spontaneous essence of sound creation, exploring minimalist textures and dense atmospheres. With six tracks that move between ambient, no-wave, and post-rock. It’s an album that challenges conventions and invites attentive listening.
An album that is a manifesto of artistic freedom and sonic authenticity.

GoH-837: GIMLET – Harming One or Another, Who is Keeping Count?
MGI’s side project GIMLET strikes back with a crushing work of ultimate harsh noise brutality including metal junk abuse and violent blasting suddenly sinking into the blurry, dark ambient drone parts filled with sampled spoken word material to comment the present reality of war, violence, addictions and cultural decay of the western world. All this concluded with final opus of dark cinematic ambient. A masterpiece not to discuss with.

Lindbergh – Loopy
[djummi.036]
Lindbergh
“Loopy”
In Mr Schulze’s sense, loop is certainly best described as a squiggle (a not exactly drawn ring-shaped curl). Repetition yes, but please with a bump in the wheel! Whether the grooveboxes that were available to Lindbergh for making music in the early 2000s were capable of such inconsistencies remains to be seen. Either way, the songs on “Loopy” fully live up to the album title.
The album is released approximately 20 years after the creation of the songs on it, which until then had only been released as singles or not at all. The music offers a glimpse into a time when electronic music was reinventing itself by merging with indie. A wonderful new experimental field emerged between synthesisers and computers on the one hand and convoluted bands with guitar, drums, and bass, in which the perfect artificial sounds of the machines often blended with human-generated sounds that expressed lovingly cultivated musical inadequacies. And Lindbergh possessed precisely this charm!
Oh yes, Lindbergh is, of course, pop music too! Songs like Mango, Über Milch, and Im Zug nach B, which speak of a life somewhere between shared accommodation, the unbearable lightness of existence, and all-nighters, have the potential to become indie disco hits. And only Mr. Schulze knows why they failed to achieve great success …

Les Cartes Postales Sonores – MAASAI CEREMONIES – Emuratta
Les Cartes Postales Sonores
“MAASAI CEREMONIES – Emuratta”
Emuratta est une cérémonie Maasai qui a pour but d’élever les adolescents (Moranis) au rang de guerrier. Destiné a une tranche d’âge de 13 a 18 ans, cette cérémonie est ponctuée de chants, danses et festin.
En amont de cette cérémonie, les Moranis habilles de noir, peinture blanche sur le visage et plumes d’autruche sur la tête, vivent en reclus pendant 1 mois, assistés de leurs aines qui leurs enseignent traditions et règles a suivre pour leur apprentissage de guerrier.
Une dizaine de Moranis est alors au centre de toutes les attentions. Une grande partie du village s’affaire, chants et danses peuvent donc commencer. Les adolescents sont placés au milieu d’un cercle de chanteurs et danseurs, ceci jusque la tombée de la nuit. Ensuite, le chef du village emmènera les Moranis dans la savane pour une nuit de jeun. Les chants et danses dureront jusqu’au petit matin, jusqu’au retour des Moranis au terme duquel ces adolescents se feront circoncire.
Ce rituel se répète tous les 7 ans.
