    Modern Silent Cinema

    Surveillance Film (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

    ■ Genres: Experimental / Concrete / Electroacoustic
    ■ Rating: 8.6/10
    ■ Favorite track: “Nexus”

    ► That is unsettling in the most effective way. We find ourselves looking for an impossible dialogue between innate human fragility and the concrete crudeness of productive slavery. We move in an aural landscape where beauty and despair coexist, perfectly capturing the existential ambiguity of a world on edge.

    Swoop and Cross

    On the Grounds of Indecency

    ○ Oct 2025 | Label: Perceptual Tapes

    ■ Genres: Ambient / Drone / Electroacoustic
    ■ Rating: 8.5/10
    ■ Favorite track: “This river”

    ► Yeah, this is clearly a river. Trembling strings provide a mournful, cinematic backdrop, while spoken-word fragments drift in and out like a memory echo, half-heard and deeply human. Each piano note adds both fragile purity and dissonance to the hazy atmosphere. The combination of these elements somehow generates a real masterpiece. Poetry needs to be unclear.

    answering some questions. We have already observed his ambient / electroacoustic work here.

    [1. IDEA]

    ■ The A. O.: The track from “After the Slow Fade” that we prefer is “Footprints”. Can you tell us how it came to light?

    ► Craig Aalders: Footprints came to light in a moment of inspiration based around a particular sound combonation of electric guitar, modulation pedal, and tape delay. Compositionally it began with the opening trem melody that starts the track and continues throughout.

    Canto Per La Terra Di Canaan

    ○ Jul 2025 | Label: Independent

    ■ Genres: Electroacoustic / Experimental
    ■ Rating: 6.5/10
    ■ Favorite track: “CANTO PER LA TERRA DI CANAAN”

    ► This track consists of four movements, blending modern sound design with echoes of Middle Eastern sonorities. What emerges is a space where tradition and abstraction intertwine. Fragments of modal melodies, resonant strings and woodwinds appear through layers of electronic processing, forming a tapestry that feels both ancient and futuristic.

    After the Slow Fade

    ■ Genres: Ambient / Electroacoustic
    ■ Rating: 7.8/10
    ■ Favorite track: “Footprints“

    ► This is a weightless dream. We move seamlessly between the tonic and subdominant major chords in a vast atmosphere, that feels both intimate and infinite. Each moment dissolves delicately into the next, reminding us that beauty still exists and asks no questions.

    answering some questions. We have already observed his ambient / electronic / electroacoustic work here.

    [1. IDEA]

    ■ The A. O.: The track from “Seven types of silences” that we prefer is “VII”. Can you tell us how it came to light?

    ► Marko Josipović: That track came to be similarly like all the other ones of the album. I found a motif or a melody on the guitar, then I would sit with it for some time, and the composition/arrangement would very naturally reveal itself through that. I often work very sporadically and like to jump from idea to idea, but this album unfolded quite linearly, so the piece had a “definitive” feel whilst making it. I remember I wanted it to feel like a forceful emergence from the sea, violent, but also purified at the same time, leaving just enough space for the things to come. That tension between violent transformation and a kind of subtle holiness is what I intended to run through the whole album. The imagery of water and sea also played a big role in how I shaped the sound of this album in general.

    ■ Favorite track: “VII“

    ► Here there’s little to say: if you like ambient and/or electronic, allow yourself to listen to this. There are no falls, there are no negligible moments. This album can easily be considered an instant-classic of the genre. The experience is completely immersive and beneficial, we are facing 50 minutes and more of pure bliss. Simply one of the best works of the year so far.
