Still Audio: Calm, Free Electronica

Just prior to compiling Still Audio #31, I recieved an email from Gustavo Caldas, of Beyond Absence, letting me know about their latest release over on Webbed Hand. Beyond Absence are rapidly becoming one of my favourite artists with their free-form ambient acoustic style. So, I’m delighted to feature a track from their latest release “Complacency” on this podcast.

We also feature old-school electronica from Mikael Fyrek courtesy of newly formed Nordic netlabel Soft Phase, and some relaxed IDM from Raoul Santos on the Cubiculum netlabel.
