Divine Ratio of Love by Renée Wilson & Jeff Oster In a musical landscape teeming with covers and reinterpretations, few projects demonstrate the delicate artistry and fearless vision needed to transform iconic songs into something wholly new—something simmering with the mystery and soul of midnight jazz. With their five-track EP, “Divine Ratio of Love,” vocalist Renée Wilson and flugelhorn virtuoso Jeff Oster embark on such a challenge, inviting listeners to step into the dusky glow of a hidden club where familiar melodies, shrouded in velvet and smoke, emerge as revelations. This is not your typical covers EP. It is a testament to transformation, courage, and the ineffable power of musical chemistry. From the outset, “Divine Ratio of Love” signals its intent: well-known songs, chosen for their thematic kinship with love in all its hues, are to be deconstructed and lovingly rebuilt in the image of jazz. The repertoire is nothing if not ambitious—ranging from the swaggering groove of the Rolling Stones’ “Miss You” and the gentle yearning of Neil Young’s “Harvest Moon,” to the soulful affirmation of India Arie’s “Ready For Love,” the enigmatic tenderness of Björk’s “All Is Full of Love,” and the bittersweet introspection of Fiona Apple’s “Slow Like Honey.” The selection spans genres and decades, but under the stewardship of Wilson and Oster, these disparate threads are woven into a tapestry that is remarkably cohesive and deeply moving. The greatest danger in reimagining songs so deeply rooted in the popular consciousness is the risk of either slavish imitation or radical misinterpretation. “Divine Ratio of Love” sidesteps both pitfalls, choosing instead to inhabit a liminal space where respect for the original rubs shoulders with playful innovation. What emerges is not mere novelty, but a sense of musical conversation—a dialogue between past and present, between the source material and the creative impulses of the performers |

Arcadia by Kevin Keller Kevin Keller’s latest album, Arcadia, arrives as both a continuation and an expansion of the sound world he so poetically unveiled in 2023’s Evensong. The new release, comprised of eight meticulously crafted tracks, enlists the same ensemble minus Sofia Campoamor that breathed life into its predecessor, yet it forges ahead into uncharted territory with a renewed sense of purpose and imagination. Through an intricate blend of medieval echoes, wordless vocals, and deft modern production, Kellerhas created an album that feels at once ancient and utterly contemporary—a tapestry of serenity, longing, and subtle revelation. At its heart, Arcadia is ambient chamber music in its most evocative sense. Keller’s vision is to conjure a place that exists beyond the limitations of geography or era: the mythical Arcadia, that Greek ideal of an eternal paradise, here reimagined as an inward journey toward peace. With each track, the album weaves together the tonalities of early music, the harmonic subtlety of modern minimalism, and the gentle pulse of ambient textures. The result is an immersive sonic landscape where time seems to slow and the listener is invited to wander through fields of memory and possibility. From the opening moments, Keller’s deft touch is apparent. His keyboards and electric guitar blend seamlessly with the string trio—Sarah Zun on violin, Angela Pickett on viola, and Laura Metcalf on cello—creating a foundation that is both warm and translucent. Over this, the four vocalists (Sofía Campoamor, Danya Katok, Katherine Wessinger, and Wendy Baker) offer a palette of wordless harmonies and intricate choral lines that hover like mist over ancient hills. |

Two Shores by Jim "Kimo" West & Michael Whalen From the first notes of "Two Shores," it is clear that the musical partnership between Grammy® winner Jim “Kimo” West and two-time Emmy® winner Michael Whalen is a meeting of creative souls destined to craft something deeply moving and enduring. Released on August 15, 2025, this album is more than a collection of instrumentals—it is an emotional voyage that transcends the expanse between two distinct lives lived on opposite coasts, weaving together the energy of New York City, the sun-drenched ease of Los Angeles, and the serene spirit of Hana, Hawaii. The album’s title, "Two Shores," is both literal and metaphorical. West and Whalen, living worlds apart in NYC and Los Angeles, found common ground in their devotion to the art of music. Despite the physical distance—separated by thousands of miles, time zones, and lifestyles—their mutual passion for creation and expression bridges that gap, forming a singular artistic vision. This spirit of unity pulses through the album’s ten tracks, each standing as a testament to the duo’s synergy. The cover art, depicting a guitar and piano perched on a quiet beach at sunset, is the perfect visual metaphor for what awaits within. The image suggests a calm meeting point, a place where music is both a language and a landscape, inviting listeners to sit alongside the instruments and watch the daylight gently fade into the golden hour. What sets "Two Shores" apart is the pure musicianship at its core. Every note, every chord, and every subtle texture is performed, arranged, and produced by West and Whalen themselves. In an age of digital shortcuts and endless collaborations, there is something profoundly intimate about two artists handling every instrument and every part—from conception to final mix. |

Beautiful Chaos Of Truth by Drifting in Silence aka Derrick Stembridge Beautiful Chaos of Truth marks the latest full-length release from Drifting in Silence, the enduring ambient project led by composer and multi-instrumentalist Derrick Stembridge. Since its inception nearly two decades ago, Drifting in Silence has been synonymous with ambient music that transforms quiet into substance and stillness into movement. Stembridge’s approach is less about creating a backdrop and more about sculpting an experience—a presence that gently envelops the listener and invites introspection. This new album, released August 11, 2025, sees Stembridge further honing his craft. He has always been drawn to the interplay of truth and sound, as evidenced by his 2007 album Truth. Still, Beautiful Chaos of Truth pushes deeper into the mysterious spaces where memory, motion, and emotion weave together into a spectral tapestry. Beautiful Chaos of Truth is ambient music that refuses to be mere wallpaper; it’s ambient as presence, demanding the listener’s attention even as it soothes and envelops. The album is constructed from low, slow waves of sound—each tone stretching, breathing, dissolving, and reforming, carrying with it a subtle sense of transformation. Melodies flicker in and out of existence, and every sound seems to move with intent, though nothing ever insists. The result is a bewildering drift where something profound begins to shimmer just beneath the surface. Stembridge doesn’t chase emotion with volume or drama. Instead, feeling arrives in texture, in the pacing of each track, and most notably, in the persistent low static that underpins the entire record. There’s a quiet power in the restraint—a sense that what’s withheld is just as important as what’s revealed. |

How "Path: An Ambient Journey" From Windham Hill Records Redefined My Musical Horizon For many years, my musical universe revolved around the familiar sounds of rock, pop, folk, and jazz. These genres, with their well-worn paths and comforting rhythms, formed the bedrock of my listening habits, shaping my tastes into what I would later describe as “vanilla”—steady, safe, and predictable. My playlists reflected this insularity, a tendency to stay within the boundaries of what I knew, only occasionally dipping a toe into uncharted waters. But as the final notes of one chapter faded and a new one began, world music arrived like a sudden gust, blowing open the door to possibility. That invitation—issued by world music—was not merely an introduction to foreign languages or exotic rhythms, but a call to curiosity. It was an awakening, a realization that music was a vast and vibrant tapestry, woven from threads that stretched across continents, cultures, and centuries. The revelation was both exhilarating and overwhelming. What rushed in through that open door was, at first, impossible to categorize: sounds and textures I had never dreamed of, melodies that danced to their own mysterious logic, harmonies that lingered in the mind and soul. And so began my journey beyond the familiar, a journey that led me straight into the arms of a pivotal album: "Path: An Ambient Journey" from Windham Hill Records. Unlike anything I’d encountered before, this was a compilation—a constellation of artists and tracks that introduced me to new age and ambient music, two genres that had previously existed only as faint rumors in the background of my musical life. |

Wander EP by Michael Borowski "Wander," the latest solo piano EP by Michael Borowski, released on August 15, 2025, is an exquisite testament to the power of heartfelt simplicity. Composed, performed, and recorded in the quiet intimacy of his Philadelphia home studio, Borowski crafts an experience that invites listeners to slow down and rediscover the subtle joys tucked within each moment. From the very first note, "Wander" establishes itself as a soulful journey through sound—a harmonious blend of melodies that encourages reflection and inspires wonder. Each track unfolds with delicate artistry, as if Borowski is gently guiding the listener along a winding path, offering moments to pause and consider not only the music but also the quiet beauty of life itself. What makes "Wander" so immediately affecting is Borowski’s uncanny ability to connect directly to the listener’s heart. The music is at once delicate and powerful. In its most fragile, whisper-like passages, the piano seems to express the very vulnerability of human existence. Borowski’s restraint allows the space between notes to breathe, making every phrase feel intentional and imbued with emotion. The six compositions on this EP are subtle in their presentation, yet they communicate a depth of feeling that resonates beyond the confines of melody and harmony. |

Blue Landscapes V
|
Blue Landscapes V: Forever the Sea by Robert Thies & Damjan Krajacic When the sea calls, it does so not with thunder but with a persistent whisper, drawing us toward its infinite horizon. Such is the experience of Blue Landscapes V: Forever the Sea, the fifth and most recent offering in the celebrated Blue Landscapes series by pianist Robert Thies and flutist Damjan Krajacic, released on August 22, 2025, through Gentle Rain Music Records. This album is not merely an invitation but a gentle immersion—an improvisational odyssey into the heart of meditative, acoustic beauty, shaped entirely by the hands, breath, and inspiration of its creators. The Blue Landscapes series has, from its inception, sought to forge a deep connection between music, nature, and the Internationally celebrated as a classical pianist, Robert Thies possesses an artistic curiosity that reaches far beyond the concert stage. Raised in a musically rich environment, Robert began improvising and composing at a young age, absorbing not only formal techniques but also the spontaneous language of jazz from his father. |

Dune Meditations
|
Dune Meditations by Siddhartha Barnhoorn In the realm of ambient music, few albums offer the listener as immersive and genuinely introspective an experience as "Dune Meditations" by Siddhartha Barnhoorn. A composer and multi-instrumentalist based in Katwijk aan Zee, The Netherlands, Barnhoorn has already established an impressive career scoring more than seventy films, with credits in celebrated projects like "Tears in the Rain," "BEYOND," "Antichamber," and "The Stanley Parable." Yet, with "Dune Meditations," Barnhoorn turns his creative focus inward, inviting listeners to join him on a deeply personal journey inspired by the tranquil beauty of the Dutch dunes. "Dune Meditations" is the product of a unique creative process deeply rooted in place and presence. The album was born from a series of ambient guitar jam sessions, each one sparked by the meditative calm instilled during walks through the dunes of Katwijk aan Zee. Barnhoorn describes slipping into a flow-state upon returning from these walks, using his guitar to channel the subtle, wordless impressions left by the landscape’s shifting sands, whispering winds, and undulating horizons. This connection to nature is not mere background to the music; it is its lifeblood. The dunes become both muse and medium, their silent wisdom and expansive calm echoing through each note. The result is a collection of meditative pieces that function not only as soundscapes, but as invitations—an open door to the listener’s own inner world. |

Chrysalis
|
Chrysalis by Carolyn Fok To listen to Carolyn Fok’s latest album, Chrysalis—released August 1, 2025—is to embark on a journey that traverses the infinite expanse between atoms and stars, between the invisible spark of a universe’s birth and the delicate miracle of a human life taking form. Over the course of 12 tracks, Fok, a pioneering Asian-American composer, painter, and writer, invites us to contemplate creation in both its cosmic and human dimensions. Carolyn Fok’s artistic pedigree is as singular as it is profound. An award-winning painter, experimental electronic musician, and writer, she has carved an indelible niche in the world of avant-garde audio-arts. Her work has appeared in publications such as Electronic Musician, Keyboard, and Bikini, and her collaborations include such boundary-pushing artists as Elliot Sharp, Jack Hertz, Tim Story, Kevin Kendle, and Joaquin Lievano. Yet for all her accomplishments, Fok remains an intensely private creative force, choosing introspection and sonic experimentation over the trappings of public acclaim. Fok’s fascination with music began in childhood. Recording stories into a tape recorder at the age of nine in 1976, she drew inspiration from her father’s homemade drum machine and reel-to-reel recorder, igniting a lifelong devotion to audio innovation. Growing up in the California suburb of Walnut Creek, she developed an idiosyncratic, self-taught approach to songwriting and sound design. This approach would serve her well as she began releasing solo records as CYRNAI in the mid-1980s, all while still in her teens. Her formative years were influenced by UK electronic pioneers like Cabaret Voltaire and The Human League, but it is the unique blend of popular rhythm constructs, raw sound design, and autobiography that defines her signature style. |

Untethered Heart by Peter Kater Peter Kater, the Grammy-winning pianist and composer whose touch has graced new age, film, television, and theatre, returns with a luminous new album: Untethered Heart. Scheduled for release on August 22, 2025, this seven-track collection stands as both a culmination and a new beginning for Kater—an album that, true to its name, dances at the threshold between the familiar and the uncharted, between bittersweet farewells and the hopeful embrace of the unknown. Untethered Heart is suffused with the profound and universal themes of release, transformation, and liberation. It is an album that acknowledges the weight of past attachments and the courage required to surrender them. In the hands of Kater, this journey is distilled into music that is at once deeply intimate and expansively cinematic—a rare balancing act that he executes with grace and wisdom. From the opening notes, there is a sense of emotional candor—a willingness to be vulnerable and an invitation for the listener to do the same. The album’s narrative arc traces the movement from the first breath of freedom through flights of spirit, moments of enchantment and remembrance, and finally, the arrival at a state of boundlessness. Kater’s signature solo piano remains the album’s beating heart: clear, resonant, and full of nuance. Yet, in Untethered Heart, he pairs this intimacy with lush orchestral strings, weaving a tapestry that is both personal and panoramic. The interplay between the |

The Vital Role of Fan Support: Music has an unparalleled ability to connect us, to soundtrack our memories, and to give voice to our deepest emotions. For countless fans, music is more than background noise—it’s a vital presence in daily life, shaping moods and marking milestones. But in this age of instant access and on-demand content, it’s worth asking: are we doing enough to ensure the artists behind the music we love can continue to create? This question grows ever more pressing as the music industry shifts from physical and digital sales to streaming as the primary mode of consumption. It’s convenient, affordable, and offers us millions of tracks at our fingertips. Yet beneath the surface, this modern model poses significant challenges for the very creators it aims to celebrate. If we truly cherish our favorite artists, supporting them means going beyond the casual convenience of streaming and making conscious decisions to invest in their music and their careers. Streaming services have revolutionized the way we listen to music. We can discover new artists and old favorites with a screen tap, build playlists for every mood, and share discoveries with friends around the world. Despite these advantages, the harsh reality is that streaming pays artists significantly less than fans often realize. While millions spin their songs daily, the financial reward for most musicians is alarmingly low. |

John Lyell
Eternity II |
Eternity II: AV talks to John Lyell After almost 42 years of living in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota, John moved to and now resides in Rio Rancho, New Mexico since May of 2017. John Lyell has been a musician since 1984. As a guitar player for over 35 years...he has recorded and performed in numerous Rock and Hard Rock projects since the 1980's as well as Acoustic projects in the 2000's. Starting in the early 1990's John's focus and interests shifted more to synthesizer based Ambient, Atmospheric and SpaceMusic. He then started to put together his own home/project studio in 1996 so that he could compose and produce instrumental synth-based music. From his recording studio in New Mexico he currently writes, records, engineers and produces instrumental Ambient, Atmospheric and SpaceMusic. Inspired by his first introduction to SpaceMusic back in 1994 from the "Hearts of Space" radio program...John immersed himself in Ambient-SpaceMusic and started dabbling in computer graphic arts with his first Macintosh computer in June of 1997. With heavy interests in Astronomy, the concept of Time Travel, SpaceMusic and related cosmic subject matter, Lyell used these interests as inspiration to create "Cosmic" and "Surreal" digital art. He also designed the CD cover art for all of his Ambient releases and co-designed the CD cover art with Brent A. Reiland for the WORMHOLES and SYNTHETIC UNIVERSE CD's. John continually created this cosmic art from 1997 until 2015. From 2005 - 2015, John also displayed and sold his Space Art and Ambient Music at Science Fiction Conventions & Art Fairs in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. To read the interview click here.

Quest for the Runestone AV talks with David Arkenstone 5-time Grammy nominee David Arkenstone has established himself as one of the best contemporary instrumentalists of our time. This visionary continues to create distinctive tracks that inspire the imagination. A musical storyteller, David is passionate about taking listeners on a journey, creating sonic tapestries that evoke every emotion. “I envision a place where I would like to go, or an adventure I would like to take, and let my imagination run free,” says David. “I’ve gotten countless messages from listeners who love to take these journeys with me. I’m sometimes surprised by how powerfully people respond to my music.” David enjoys touring and meeting his fans from around the world. “One of the most exciting things about performing live is the interaction I have with the audience. It’s very different than making a recording, where you’re not sure who will be listening to it. A lot of the roots of our musicianship come into focus in a live situation. You’re in the moment, you perform your best, and many times reach new heights – then it’s gone and on to the next show!” David loves to travel and enjoys photographing the world. His recent trip to Iceland, Switzerland and other parts of Europe will surely inspire new music.

As Dusk Becomes Night
|
As Dusk Becomes Night, Rudy Adrian‘s 17th full length studio album, offers a serene and personal exploration of sounds and atmospheres that slowly transition from evening into twilight and on through the night. Whether it is the strolling through a park with trees silhouetting a star-speckled sky, looking down to a desolate moonlit beach, or observing the twinkling lights of a city from above, the delicately shifting synthesizer overtones and calming organic textures simulate the moment of the astronomical twilight in the artist’s native New Zealand homeland. Subtlety, nuance, and ineffable moments can be skillfully expressed at the hands of such an accomplished electronic music artist, and Rudy Adrian’s mastery of ambient electronic soundscapes is in top form as the album’s eleven stunning tracks are rich with the deep and mysterious tranquility for which he is so well known. Moving through the magical moods of evening, As Dusk Becomes Night reveals an ear-opening sonic wonderland where shifting hues and deep fading light are magically transformed into awe-inspiring moments of introspection; a wondrous gloaming that eventually gives way to deep heavenly nightscapes. |

AV's Charts Night Tides Playlist
We just wanted to make sure that the readers of AV were aware of the radio shows like Renee Blanche's Night Tides that feature ambient and new age music each and every Sunday night. There are so many choices out there to listen to music that it might be tempting to skip shows like Night Tides or Star's End or Galactic Travels or Hearts of Space in favor of just pulling up a playlist on Spotify and listening to it instead. Renee and Bill and Chuck and Stephen have been spotlighting great ambient/new age music on their programs for many, many years now and I think listeners would be doing themselves a disservice by not taking advantage of all of that musical programming skills to help you on your journey of discovery into the vast catalog of ambient, new age and electronic music both past and present. So perhaps you weren't aware of these programs or of the music that they play but AV is here to help. We are going to start featuring a radio show on the front page with links to the charts on AV's Charts page so you can get a feel for what is being played on these radio shows. You can then follow the links under each chart to learn more about the program, what time it's on and even links that will allow you to stream it live right there on
your computer. It doesn't get more convenient than that. To kick off these reminders we'll start with Night Tides which airs on Sunday nights just in time to decompress you before heading off to work on Monday morning. There is a small sample of the playlist just below and for the complete playlist just follow the link and begin your musical explorations. A lot of us grew up in an era when radio was our main music discovery venue. These programmers are simply carrying on a proud tradition of helping listeners
such as yourself find the music that you didn't even know you were looking for. Enjoy! |

AV Goes to NYC
|
AV's Concert Review An Introvert Journeys to New York City and Goes With the FLOW As you may or may not know I tend to be a very introverted
person who is connected to a broad musical world via my Ambient Visions website
and rarely do I venture out into the really real world other than at a very
mundane level as I head off to work or to do a variety of equally unspectacular
chores that make up my daily life. On occasion though I am tempted to step out
of my ordinary introverted life and to step into that wider world which makes
introverts like me quiver in their boots and on an even rarer occasion I act on
those temptations and dive into that real world. October 6 was one of those days where the
benefit of venturing out overwhelmed my reservations and sent me off to the big
city to discover the joys of live music. What, you might ask, would tempt an introvert such as myself out of his seclusion and pull him to the big city? I’m glad you asked. I wanted to go with the FLOW. I know that doesn’t sound like a compelling reason and what the heck does it even mean anyway. The FLOW in this case is a new ensemble group that was celebrating the release of their first album simply entitled FLOW by performing as a group at the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall in New York City which is a celebrated musical mecca of the performing arts in the United States. The motivating factor here was the composition of the group and the nature of the guest artists who would be performing with them on that Friday night in New York City. |
