do078 : Nunc Stans - CROSSING BRIDGES
Deep, monumental ambient journeys, in the style of the earlier "Elementa" from 2016. Drone based, expansive, musical, and always in flux.
CD available here.
Download available on Bandcamp.
do077 : Specta Ciera + The Circular Ruins - MNEMOSYNE
Follow up to their first collaboration in 2014, Middle Distance. Mnemosyne is another rich offering that expertly blends styles of ambient and electronica into compelling and intriguing soundscapes.
CD available here.

do076 : Julio Di Benedetto & Anthony Paul Kerby - FALLING INTO PLACE
Falling Into Place arose in the latter half of 2016 from a series of modular synthesizer textures created by Julio. These pieces served as a basis for the treatments and additions by Anthony. The resulting album is a rich and kaleidoscopic journey of moods and complex flowing soundscapes that never cease to capture the listener's imagination.
CD available here.
Download available on Bandcamp.
do075 : Robert Davies - AFTERLIGHT
Afterlight is a brilliant and consistent new release from the master of pastoral ambient. Each track situates the listener in intimate communion with a nature that is rich with details and that builds subtle yet very powerful atmospheres.
CD available here.
Download available on Bandcamp.
do074 : The Winterhouse - DREAMING
Another beautiful and meditative release from The Winterhouse (Robert Davies and Anthony Paul Kerby). Sit back, relax, and be entranced by this subtle journey into intimate dreamscapes.
CD available here.
Download available on Bandcamp.
FP002 : Fictions and Poetics - ANATOMY OF MELANCHOLY

Download and listening available on Bandcamp.
Just click the left cover to go there.
do073 : Robert Davies - RIVER'S EDGE
Robert Davies :
River's Edge is a continuation of my ever-elusive search for a detailed, human definition of natural landscapes through sound representation. The music is meant as a non-intrusive background tapestry, conducive to a relaxed and reflective mood.
CD available here.
Download available on Bandcamp.
do072 : Nunc Stans - ELEMENTA
Elementa captures the grandeur and mysterious elemental force of monumental landscapes and desolate spaces. But these are not just static drones, they are full of motion, sonic events and curious meanderings. They place you at a beginning. The beginning ... where forces clash, join, and collapse. Where chasms open and elements intermingle, and where the matter of life is precipitated in mysterious conjunctions.
CD available here.
Download available on Bandcamp.
FP001 : Fictions and Poetics - OUR LAST DAYS
Something NEW ..... a minimal, ambient download only project by APK.
Fictions and Poetics exists at the crossroads of glitchy minimalism and ambient soundscapes, with a healthy dose of poetic expression and emotional substance mixed in for good measure. This first release, Our Last Days, points the way for future explorations.
Download and listening available on Bandcamp.
Just click the left cover to go there.
do071 : Robert Davies - DWELLING PLACE
A welcome new release from Robert Davies.
Subtle, drone-based, pastoral, and very intimate. Ambient at its best.
CD available here.
Download available on Bandcamp.
do070 : The Winterhouse - SLOW AWAKENING
The Winterhouse (Robert Davies and APK) continue to bring us deftly crafted organic landscapes that are tinged with melancholy and rich with the shadows and details of intimate natural spaces. Spaces of beauty, seclusion and refuge that appear to emerge from slowly dissolving blankets of morning mist.
CD available here.
Download available on Bandcamp.
do069 : Nunc Stans - FURTHER AFIELD
APK has been keeping himself musically busy these past few years, but we have not seen a new Nunc Stans release from him since the excellent Peninsula from 2011. Further Afield is, however, certainly well worth the wait. Ten tracks of lush and subtly inventive drone-style works that flex and evolve, and conjure up vast landscapes, imaginary flights, and curious excursions.
CD available here.
Download available on Bandcamp.
do068 : Darwin Raymond and Jacob Newman - TRANSITIONS
Darwin Raymond (Ohio) and Jacob Newman (Colorado) combine their talents to create an
original and immersive album of wintry and
autumnal drones, textures, and subtle melodies
built around the yearning guitar work of Raymond.
CD available here.
Download available on Bandcamp.
do067 : The Circular Ruins - NIGHTFALL
Nightfall drifts towards a darker and more experimental territory than the previous Full Circle release from The Circular Ruins. The mood more mysterious and exploratory -- a journey into night, and into wormholes that sparkle with curious energies, and have unpredictable destinations.
CD available here.
Download available on Bandcamp.
do066 : Robert Davies - NIGHTSHADE
Nightshade feels like an intimate journal of secluded meanderings and drowsy reveries amid the beauty and endless mystery of nature; a nature that acts like a narcotic on the mind and senses. The music flows like a lazy river through this lush landscape, drifting gently from shade to light, past overhanging branches and secluded shallows alive with with winged inhabitants. This is music to relax by. Music that will entrance and carry you away.
CD available here.
Download available on Bandcamp.
do065 : The Circular Ruins - FULL CIRCLE
A new solo release from The Circular Ruins is something very special here at DataObscura,
and this release exceeds expectations. Full Circle
is a collection of nine intricate and absorbing ambient explorations that show APK at his very best. Subtle rhythms, beautiful compositions rich with details, and a yearnng melodic structure that speaks volumes.
A work that will delight again and again.
CD available here.
Download available on Bandcamp.
do064 : Robert Davies - WHAT THE MOON REVEALS
On What The Moon Reveals, Davies paints hypnotic
sonic portraits of intimate evening landscapes, and creates a series of memorable
ambient reveries. It is a tour de force of sustained ambient artistry.
CD available here.
Download available on Bandcamp.
Nautic Depths and Nunc Stans - FALLING SILENT
Falling Silent explores sombre and highly intimate sound worlds, maintaining an expressive flow with many embedded details. It is a very warm album, with a focus on touching and latent harmonic layers especially in the lower end of the music.
The physical release is available on Musical Philosophy at El Culto.

Discover an entrancing blend of ambient forms and moods that shift and flow effortlessly from deep and lush to delicate and sparse.
