Music video for "Antillia," taken from the album Subtropical Tape Sessions. Filmed at Prumirim Beach, Brazil, in July 2025. I feel this video captures well the atmosphere I was trying to create with the album.

Today my alter ego Alexandre Klinke is releasing Subtropical Tape Sessions. Inspired by ethnographic field recordings and Brazilian folk, it plays like a fictional compilation of electronic pieces found in a deteriorating box of tapes deep in the jungle.

Hey folks, response to this show has been bigger than anticipated and tickets are almost sold out. If you're still planning on coming but don't have a ticket, grab one before they're gone. At this point we have no way of guaranteeing there will be any available at the door. See you on the Island!

It's Bandcamp Friday, and an opportunity to call attention to an older album of mine: the music score for the short film Playback Head (2019). This was the album that sent me on the path of ambient music, and the following projects using that name.
