Artificial Island - Moab

Now playing on M.P.R Chill, the track entitled 'Moab' by 'Artificial Island'.

 

 

Release date: Jul 7, 2024

Artificial Island are a London-based duo who produce evocative electronic music, blending ambient, downtempo and post-rock influences. Their aim is to write soulful electronic music capturing mood and atmosphere but without neglecting the foreground of melody.

Their music is gently upbeat but quietly melancholic, mixing ethereal and pulsing electronics, organic loops, deep almost dub-like bass with shimmering, reversing synths.

“Music is always an act of communication; capturing something felt in all its complexity to be shared across time and space. And it is always refracting, casting different lights, different shadows, but ultimately reminding us that we are connected and not isolated. We hope our music succeeds in some way in that act of connection and resonance”.

Orian bor - Reborn

Latest release by Orian bor entitled 'Reborn' is now playing on M.P.R Ambient.

 

 

Release date: Jul 26, 2024

Orian's mother tells him that as a child he would go crazy about musical instruments rather than toys and even now, going into a music store brings him strong emotions. His artistic name is Orian Bor and he is an Italian musician born in Rome in 1975. 

He started taking piano lessons at the age of 12 and after about three years began his first steps as a DJ. This passion for the field led him to his first job. Due to various commitments he eventually abandoned this aspect, but continued to personally play the piano. Recently, he started publishing songs created in his own studio.

When Orian starts composing, he rarely has a clear idea in mind; most of the time he starts with the chords that inspire him, then moves on to the choice of sounds. This is where the inspiration for a new track is born.

"There is only one Life, and finding space for your passion makes that life better".
