"With a tandem career as a mixer/mastering engineer and label owner, Rafael is a 'musician’s musician' – someone who spends his days in the surgical precision of the mastering suite and his nights coaxing emotive, bowed-guitar ghosts out of stacks of amplifiers." Rafael Anton Irisarri interview:

For those in Berlin, there are only 4 tickets left for the concert on Thursday 7 May at Morphine Raum with Rafael Anton Irisarri, Martina Bertoni and Andrea Burelli. Tickets available here: ra.co/events/2382586

The new Rafael Anton Irisarri LP Points of Inaccessibility is my favorite thing he's done since 2019's Solastalgia (which was my go-to brain reset during the pandemic), and I don't think it's very inaccessible! Nudges his tidal drones more towards Stars of the Lid's levitational ambient classical.
