Featured album ///"Acclimatation" by Alexis Delozanne
I am absolutely in love with the new album from Alexis Delozanne on White Lab Recs. “Acclimatation” is an eight-song album from French electronic artist Alexis Delozanne that is a sublime blend of melodic synth motifs, effected found sounds and environmental recordings, dreamy ambient guitar, and a certain je ne sais quoi that encourages you to explore this beautiful work of art in repeated listening sessions. The melodic structure is hardly conventional and introduces a playful exploratory quality, reflecting Delozanne’s unencumbered compositional aesthetic. Between the story-like quality of each track, the charm of the synthetic tones, and the analog warmth woven throughout, I find it quite easy to settle into a place of ease the very moment I hit play. “Acclimatation” by Alexis Delozanne is available now on most streaming music services as well as at https://whitelabrecs.bandcamp.com.
Featured album ///"Remember the Clouds" by Philippe Deschamps
One of my favorite French ambient artists is out with a brand new EP that sets the stage for a distinctly reflective listening experience. “Remember the Clouds” by Philippe Deschamps marks his 15th release on Bandcamp with this daydream-inducing four-song EP. Deschamps sublimely blends warm ambient guitar, subtle ethereal synth elements, soft and silk-like noise, and a smooth and steady drone to tie each element together. It really is a sublime listening experience and is spacious and gentle enough to use during meditation, for deep relaxed states, or inspire your next creative flow state with absolutely no jarring elements to disrupt your focus. If you’re on the lookout for new meditative ambient music, look no further. “Remember the Clouds” by Philippe Deschamps is available now on most streaming music services as well as at https://philippedeschampsfilms.bandcamp.com.
