Surprise Stopover by Ratyński
Wind moving across a golden wheat field, plants swaying in rhythm with the breeze, that’s the image that came to mind when I first heard the guitar arpeggios of Ratyński’s Surprise Stopover. The guitar is once again at the center of his music, not just as an instrument, but as a narrator guiding us through shifting landscapes.

Forever Elsewhere by Samer Fanek
At the heart of Forever Elsewhere, the fifth album by Jordanian pianist and composer Samer Fanek, lies the piano. Every instrument here—strings, woodwinds, guitars, drums, and synths—exists not to showcase itself, but to serve the music’s emotional depth. The result is a work that feels less like a collection of tracks and more like a living story, unfolding with all the ups and downs of a love story: moments of drama, passages of darkness, bursts of hope, and an ever-present

Arvo Pärt: Credo, or Life in times of Genocide
I don’t particularly believe in the idea that a single deity created the universe with a plan, but I do believe in some composers who do, among them J.S. Bach and the great Estonian composer Arvo Pärt.

Stories Untold: Act I by Tristen Bishop
Stories Untold: Act I by Tristen Bishop is the opening chapter of a project that invites the listener to become a co-creator. Instead of dictating a specific story, the music opens up a space for imagination—whether one is a writer, a painter, or simply someone who enjoys building narratives in their mind while listening. This EP is not about telling the story directly, but about offering sonic fragments and emotional colors that inspire the listener to tell their own.

Dark Summer by EM_LEN
With Dark Summer, EM_LEN returns with a three-track digital album that feels both nostalgic and forward-looking. Where his previous release Sleep Infinity carved a space between post-punk melancholy and synthpop shimmer, Dark Summer embraces a darker, more experimental territory—one that recalls the discovery of underground music on late-night FM radio while pushing the artist’s sound into fresh, uncompromising directions.

Twinkle, Twinkle by Alkis H – 12 Variations for Symphony Orchestra: From Lullaby to Orchestral Epic
Twinkle, Twinkle by Alkis H takes one of the most universally recognized melodies in the world and transforms it into a miniature symphonic journey. This twelve-part work, presented as a continuous arc, retains a steady tempo throughout but evolves dramatically in mood, color, and orchestral texture. What begins as a simple nursery theme grows into something rich, inventive, and at times even grandiose—culminating in a sweeping fugue and finale that feel worlds away from the

El Silencio Interior by Guitarra de Aventura
There’s a certain kind of music that doesn’t just entertain—it invites you to breathe, slow down, and reconnect with yourself. El Silencio Interior by Guitarra de Aventura is one such work. This four-track EP is a delicate and heartfelt exploration of stillness, emotion, and gentle movement. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not an ambient album, on the contrary it’s an album full of melodies, dance and percussion, it’s full of life. But it’s not a city life, it comes from nature, it

Driftsways by Lauré Lussier
When a composer like Lauré Lussier releases a new work, one does not approach it lightly. His previous compositions, haunting, intricate, often cinematic, have already established him as a contemporary voice who blurs the lines between orchestration, sound design, and storytelling. Driftsways by Lussier takes another bold step forward. This two-part electroacoustic work, comprised of “Themes & Variations” and “Rondo,” is less a collection of pieces than it is a sonic architec
