The gaye device This is a gorgeous ambient electroacoustic album. It flows with a cosmic jazz spirit taking me on a dreamy journey through those quiet moments of late night stillness or those moments of daytime cloud watching contemplation.

Micro Landscape of a Bathroom Sink Love at first listen.

TheSlowMusicMovement Put your feet up, your headphones on & peer through the musical microscope at the sonic particles of Toan's staggeringly detailed ambient world, where a million disparate sound shards somehow synergise to create a stunningly beautiful electroacoustic whole. One of my ambient LPs of the year.

Ralph Gonzalez Epic album of complex musical tones, avoiding the excess of found sounds and glitches polluting much of today's ambient music

benoit richard Une production ambient électro-acoustique, teintée de jazz par moment, à la fois dense, lumineuse et poétique, aux variations subtiles, de laquelle on n’extraira pas forcément un titre en particulier, mais qu’il faut prendre comme un bloc tout entier. Superbe !

about

It‘s a huge pleasure to present for the first time in the catalogue the talented French composer Toàn.
His third official album, Phonolite, is a little gem of eleven tracks and more than one hour of ambient and electroacoustic music.
There is something special in Toàn’s sound and his capacity to create, with a wide range of acoustic and electronic instruments, a unique world of colours and shades. His sonic paintings are visual collages of microsounds perfectly arranged and chiselled in a photography of the early twentieth century.
The name Phonolite comes from the Ancient Greek meaning "sounding stone" due to the metallic sound it produces if an unfractured plate is hit. Minerals and stones are therefore the concept of this outstanding album, a meditative piece of art that closes the trilogy after Histos Lusis and Volta No Vento.
Please be captivated by the frail elegance of Phonolite.

Toàn is a French electronic musician based in Britain. As a beatmaker, he has produced several albums mixing jazz and hip hop influences under the pseudonym of Qiwu Selftet. Toàn is now focuses on freer musical forms, close to ambient and modern classical.

A wonderful musical collection that shows the unity of the whole world and the support of Ukraine during the long war, which will undoubtedly end with the victory of Ukraine. And now the terrible numbers... Only according to official data as of today #russiaisaterroriststate killed 510 children in Ukraine, injured another 1141 children, kidnapped 19546 children. There are many more unofficial victims. And russia remains a member of the UN... Desynkro Music

Colla (Double Album)
by Carlo Giustini

supported by 38 fans who also own “Phonolite”

have yet to translate the song titles so the artist's intentions are somewhat of a mystery to me, but the wavering surface noise creates the theme of a dialogue between music & technology before becoming invisible to my ears. this conjures memories of listening to music as a child (long before the sterility of digital media), when i rarely took notice of the hiss & pops of records, 8-tracks, tapes, & am radio because they were a normal, necessary aspect of recorded sound. nice to be back again.
