Axel Willner's new album 'Now You Exist' features five songs of meditative ambient techno and drone, showcasing his signature sound and artistic evolution.

Oneohtrix Point Never has released a two-track single, led by an original called 'Dim Stars.' The B-side, 'For Residue (Extended),' is a meditative version of the Tranquilizer track.

The petition accuses the school of promoting OpenAI's ChatGPT, which 'steal the art of [tens of thousands] of artists and rot the essence of the industry and have devastating consequences on the environment all to create facsimiles of real human art.'

The Olympus Perspective Playground operates as a fully built system, where walls, lighting rigs, circulation paths, and signage are developed together with each installation, creating a continuous spatial script.

Odeal's music sits loosely within R&B, also drawing on Afrobeats, neo-soul and contemporary pop. Across his catalogue, love is rarely conclusive. Instead, songs live in emotional grey areas.

The exhibition takes the form of a sonic prayer, a call to the contemplative act of listening, featuring works by twenty-four selected artists across two sites.

Purity Ring's sound features glassy synths and heavy bass, creating a delicate yet dangerous atmosphere that resonates with listeners.

The dream is the confusion machine I didn't have to build, a space where perception slips beyond authorship. Within Communal Dreams, influence operates as a subtle signal rather than a directive force.

Drummers' timekeeping is fluid; even at its most rocksteady, it's enlivened by tiny, imperceptible pauses and hiccups. Sequencers and drum machines, on the other hand, march in lockstep.

The opener "Not Not Not" is almost goofy, its chaotic melodies constantly dancing around each other in a perpetually disorienting way. It lurches forward asymmetrically, grooving like a flat tire.

Concrete Waves is the first in a new series by Werkdiscs capturing improvised musical conversations between two avant-garde icons, Actress and Suzanne Ciani.

"It felt jarring and lonely, not exactly the comfort I was hoping for, but one afternoon I made a little voice memo while playing a piano mumbling the phrase....I wanna build a dream for you. That's when this whole thing kind of started. Like a little spark."

Her slowly shifting synthesizer compositions and quiet, meditative pieces for acoustic instruments continue to inspire a deep immersion in their audiences, and her recordings and writings have influenced multiple generations of musicians worldwide.

We started from a very silly place,

Junho Park's graduation concept borrows all the right cues from TE's playbook, that modular control layout, the single bold color, the mix of knobs and buttons that practically beg to be touched, but redirects them toward a gap in the market. Where Teenage Engineering designs for people who already understand synthesis and sampling, the T.M-4 targets people who have ideas but no vocabulary to express them.

Galen Buckwalter, a 69-year-old research psychologist and quadriplegic, participated in a brain implant study to contribute to science that aids those with paralysis. The six chips in his brain decode movement intention, allowing him to operate a computer and feel sensations in his fingers again.

The work behind "Waiting for You" by Monotronic spanned two years and several geographic mindsets. Its songs were built in the contained spaces of an East Village apartment and the open humidity of Tulum, initially seeming like disparate projects with no clear direction. Only in retrospect did their shared disposition come into focus. This is an album about the slow work of self-knowledge, which here looks less like an epiphany and more like the gradual acceptance of a particular signal,

The Phase8 uses a new form of "acoustic synthesis" that combines acoustic sound generation with electronic control. Takahashi says the synthesizer is "beyond analog vs. digital" and "beyond electronics" altogether. It features chromatically tuned steel resonators, which creates an acoustic sound similar to that of a kalimba. These signals can be manipulated via onboard effects and sequenced like a traditional synthesizer. Here's a video of the synth in action.

Green-House will release new album Hinterlands on March 20. The Los Angeles duo of Olive Ardizoni and Michael Flanagan has left their longtime home of Leaving to sign with Ghostly for the follow-up to A Host for All Kinds of Life. Listen to a new song from the record, "Farewell, Little Island," below, and scroll down for the album art.
