Lucian Lacewing – Night Of Whispers
Lucian Lacewing Finds The Sacred In The Dark
Lucian Lacewing’s second single, “Night Of Whispers,” feels like standing inside a circle of ancient stone while the sky slowly unlocks itself. Based in Bristol, the composer builds otherworldly soundscapes from dreamy synths, muted trumpets, ouds, handpans, sitars, cellos and flickering vocal fragments, folding ambient calm into modern psychedelia and nocturnal drone. It’s music that doesn’t rush toward dawn so much as wait for it, suspended in altered states and quiet communion with the natural world.
The title, lifted from Albert Camus’ The Plague, adds a strange literary shadow to the track’s ritual pulse. Lacewing’s name says a lot: light, filtered through something delicate and alive. Here, that idea becomes sound — hypnotic, ancestral, and just unsettled enough to keep glowing in the dark.
Eric Alexandrakis – Life Is Better Live
Eric Alexandrakis Turns Chaos Into Cinematic Sound On “Life Is Better Live”
Eric Alexandrakis has always moved like a restless signal flare, and “Life Is Better Live” finds him folding avant-garde history into something immediate and strangely human. Written, arranged, recorded, produced, and performed entirely by Alexandrakis, the single was captured on Okanagan Lake in British Columbia and built as the soundtrack to Sandro Miller’s short film for Steppenwolf 50: Through the Eye of Sandro Miller. The result nods to Stockhausen and John Cage without feeling academic; instead, it swells with tension, design, and the feeling of “the chaos outside.”
Mixed by Alexandrakis with Brian Leitner, the track blurs sound design and composition until the edges disappear. It’s the kind of work that makes his reputation make sense: discovered by Duran Duran’s John Taylor, and forever chasing the next odd, beautiful collision.
Eric Guenther – Code Breach OST
Eric Guenther Turns Soundtrack Scale Into A Solo Statement
Eric Guenther has spent years widening the frame around progressive music, and Code Breach OST feels like the moment he steps fully into the center of it. His debut as producer, mixer, and solo architect folds French electronic glow, Japanese fusion precision, and prog-rock muscle into an 80-minute world that moves like a score but lands like an album with its own pulse.
Recorded in his home studio with analog synths and a homemade slide guitar, the record shifts from the cinematic sweep of “Start//MainTheme” to the noir shimmer of “Greystock Noir,” the sleek lift of “Southwish,” and the darker burn of “Church.” It’s the work of a classically trained pianist who knows exactly when to let a melody breathe and when to let the machines surge. Guenther isn’t just crossing genres here; he’s building a language out of them.
LOGICA ABSTRACTA – fEast
LOGICA ABSTRACTA Crafts An Immersive Audiovisual Meditation With “fEast”
LOGICA ABSTRACTA’s “fEast” blurs the line between ambient music and visual art, pairing downtempo textures with an imaginative audiovisual presentation. Part of the larger Ad Astra project, the piece unfolds through organic shadow theatre, minimal digital manipulation, and a dreamlike sense of movement that rewards patient attention.
Created by producer Vadim Militsin and mastered by Bill Sellar, “fEast” embraces an analog sensibility, allowing subtle details and atmosphere to take centre stage. The accompanying visuals, crafted by zen!a, transform projection theatre and handcrafted 3D elements into a fluid sequence of shifting impressions and abstract forms.
Rather than presenting a fixed narrative, “fEast” invites interpretation. Its meditative pacing and layered imagery encourage viewers to find their own meaning within the experience, resulting in a work that is immersive, contemplative, and quietly transportive.
Brudini – Rogue Oligarch
A Sonic Prophecy Awakened: Brudini’s “Rogue Oligarch”
Brudini’s “Rogue Oligarch” is a fierce blend of darkwave, post-punk, and disco, pairing driving rhythms with a sharp satirical edge. Aggressive guitar riffs collide with bursts of free-jazz brass, creating a sound that feels both chaotic and meticulously controlled.
Drawing inspiration from the confrontational spirit of Suicide, the track thrives on tension and unpredictability. Istanbul-recorded brass improvisations from Taskin Akarsu and Baris Dogukan weave through the arrangement, adding flashes of wild energy to its relentless pulse.
Brudini’s distinctive vocal delivery anchors the song, guiding listeners through a world where absurdity, menace, and dark humour coexist. Equal parts dancefloor provocation and avant-garde statement, “Rogue Oligarch” delivers its commentary with force, proving that challenging music can still be impossible to stand still to.
