I just got off a call with the abundantly creative @orenambarchi.bsky.social We discussed his solo work, the Ghosted project, Drag City and his own Black Truffle Records. Stay tuned for a 3hr exploration of Oren's sonic world @wfmu.bsky.social youtu.be/OydnLmtscyg?...

Oren Ambarchi, Johan Berthling and Andreas Werliin's 'Ghosted III' is an exquisite listen and perhaps their best yet. "All circular grooves and spectral riffs", as I write in my review for @thequietus.com.

'All circular grooves and spectral riffs, with Werliin and Berthling’s pulsing sway providing the motor that anchors and pulls along the broad palette of effervescent sounds Ambarchi extracts from his guitar' #OrenAmbarchi, Johan Berthling and Andreas Werliin - Ghosted III buff.ly/BFukAwv

Tomorrow night (Monday) Rhinoçéros bar in Berlin is presenting a Ghosted III listening session followed by a q&a. Doors at 18:30, the album spins at 20:30 🦏 👻

A new @orenambarchi.bsky.social, here with Fredrik Rasten, is always a cause for celebration. This is one of those long evolving pieces I love. I feel some Popol Vuh here and there, and that’s fantastic. “Dragon’s return” is the soundtrack to a 1967 Slovak movie I must now absolutely see. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Giuseppe Iealsi (@senufoeditions.bsky.social) & composer/sound artist Jack Sheen team up for »The Vestige«, an album that unfolds in liminal zones where pitch and noise, repetition and irregularity blur. Out via @orenambarchi.bsky.social & shipping from www.anost.net @senufoeditions.bsky.social

Giuseppe Ielasi and Jack Sheen take the rubber mask off the face of reality and show you the inside, inverted depths suggesting the shape wrongly to the point that it becomes something else, while bearing the clear connection to the other side.
