J Zunz.... Del Aire.....(female artist ...ambient electronica)
From Bandcamp portal ...
"Lorena Quintanilla’s journey as J. Zunz continues with her third solo release, and her second for Rocket Recordings after 2020’s ‘Hibiscus’. Recorded in a vociferously windy area of Enseneda, Mexico, where Lorena spent a strict lockdown, ‘Del Aire’ exorcises the troubles she encountered during the period, in the process creating both what she describes as a “continuity and discontinuity” from ‘Hibiscus’, and extracting a similar, yet fresh strain of emotional complexity.
With the atmospheric and natural theme of air at the heart of the creative process, Lorena has created an extraordinarily spacious work. The synths of ‘Lineal’ thrive on pulse-like repetition, gathering from a luscious sweeping panorama into a bruising orchestral crescendo. Elsewhere, as on ‘Del Aire’ the discordant-meets-melodic sonics dwell somewhere adjacent to Gazelle Twin. Both Lorena’s vocals and her distinctive crystalline avant aesthetic are writ large throughout the reverberations of ‘Cruce’ and ‘Horizonte’ as well as on the anxiety-rending exhortations closing the surreally meditative ‘Outsides’.

Cool Maritime........Big Earth Energy....
From the cover.....
Inspired by Myst and Studio Ghibli, synthesist Sean HellFritsch creates dawn of digital cinematic textures on this soundtrack for an imagined video game wherein the player embodies a tree frog with the power to hop through geological epochs in order to deeply explore- in HellFritsch's words- "the incomprehensibly vast energetic expression and mystery that is Earth"
So there you have it folks....

Rupert Lally......Beyond the night..
Conceived as a form of sonic road movie, beginning at dusk and ending at dawn the following day, Rupert Lally’s aural accompaniment to the hours of darkness combines jazz, industrial, contemporary classical and electronica, with the resulting mix sounding akin to a soundtrack to a Wim Wenders film if composed by Jan Garbarek, Carl Craig and Max Richter./I]

Currently listening to …” a chance to cut is a chance to cure” by experimental electronic duo Matmos.
Whilst I personally would be reluctant to subscribe to their way of life / philosophy etc, I cannot help but admire their ingenuity / creativity in producing the music they do.

A Chance to Cut Is a Chance to Cure
Studio album by Matmos
Released March 13, 2001
Genre
IDM[1]experimental techno
Length 46:17
Label Matador
A Chance to Cut Is a Chance to Cure is the fourth studio album by American electronic music duo Matmos, released in 2001. The album consists primarily of samples of medical procedures, including plastic surgeries, liposuctions, hearing tests and bonesaws. The album maintains a sense of humour in contrast with the serious nature of the audio being sampled. The exception to the medical samples is the song "For Felix (And All the Rats)", a piece dedicated to their deceased pet rat Felix, performed entirely on his cage.
The two members of Matmos, Drew Daniel and Martin Schmidt, both had doctors as parents, a fact that likely influenced them in the album's creation.[2] The album is sometimes considered a concept album within the glitch or musique concrète genre.

Ah Matmos! I have everything they ever brought out. Joke. Seriously I do have a couple of their creations on a, would you believe, a David Grubbs LP. Great story though.
