Keith Richie - Candles (Aural Realms Version)

Released today and playing on M.P.R Ambient is 'Candles (Aural Realms Version)' by Keith Richie.

 

 

Release date: Jul 11, 2025

Independent composer and producer Keith Richie, known for his deeply immersive electronic and ambient works, is set to release “Candles (Aural Realms Version)” on July 11, 2025 the first single in his new longform ambient series, Aural Realms.

Originally composed in 2001 and inspired by a poem from Richie’s daughter, “Candles” has been transformed into a nearly 20-minute ambient experience. This new version offers slowly evolving textures, drifting melodies, and a deep sense of emotional stillness, perfect for relaxation, meditation, and introspective listening.

“This version of Candles is more than just a remix. It’s a return and a new beginning,” says Richie. “Aural Realms is a space for reinterpretation, reflection, and entirely new ambient compositions that tell stories without words.”

The Aural Realms series will include both ambient reinterpretations of past works and completely new compositions designed for deep listening, creative focus, and use in tabletop gaming environments.

“Candles (Aural Realms Version)” marks the beginning of Richie’s renewed creative output following the relaunch of his brand Other Worlds Than These, which now serves as the home for both his music and tabletop RPG content. Monthly music releases are planned throughout the year, spanning ambient, electronic, and cinematic styles.

Pavel Doronin - Seagull

Playing on M.P.R Ambient is the latest track by Pavel Doronin entitled 'Seagull'.

 

 

Release date: Jun 5, 2025

London-based producer Pavel Doronin unveils his first release under his own name: a slow-burn ambient soundscape co-written with pianist Aliya Lark (whose 2024 EP Sparks he co-produced). Inspired by Ostermeier's Barbican production of Chekhov's The Seagull. The track layers field recordings from a Dorset farm, naive Casio organ phrases and resonant piano over evolving synth textures, capturing the fragile artistic dreams of Konstantin, one of the main characters in The Seagull.

“When I saw The Seagull at the Barbican, I was struck by the play-within-a-play scene: the actors were wearing VR headsets and the audience couldn't see what was going on, only imagine it. I went home and sketched the soundtrack that night.” - Pavel Doronin

“Pavel sent me the early mix; in its viscous soundscape I heard piano notes trying to break free. I asked to record something on top, and he welcomed the experiment.” - Aliya Lark

Composed and recorded at home studios in East London by Pavel Doronin and Aliya Lark.

The track "Last Degree of Aether" offers a journey to the confines of a dark space, where humans have yet to go.

JORDI WOOD - Jakobs Ladder

Playing on M.P.R Ambient is the track 'Jakob’s Ladder' by Jordi Wood.

 

 

Release date: Jun 24, 2025

Jakob’s Ladder is a meditative sound journey designed to support deep relaxation, inner alignment, and full- body awareness. Carried by spacious drones, shamanic vocals, metal tuning forks, and crystal bowls, this track invites the listener into a slowed, embodied state ideally used for meditation, breathwork, introspection or rest.

Rather than serving as background music, Jakob’s Ladder is crafted as an immersive experience to be felt as much as heard. Its subtle harmonic textures and grounding resonance are meant to gently open the nervous system, slow the mind, and bring coherence to the energy body.

Inspired by over a decade of ceremonial work and sacred sound traditions, this track emerges as an offering… a transmission intended to reconnect us to the intelligence of stillness and sound.

For the most nourishing experience, listen with headphones or high-quality speakers in a quiet space. The full spectrum of vibration is best received when the body is at rest and able to absorb the frequencies directly.

About Jordi Wood

Jordi Wood is a sound healer, ritual musician, and multi-instrumentalist with over a decade of experience working in the Amazon with master plants and ancestral lineages. Rooted in the Shipibo healing tradition of the Peruvian Amazon and initiated through years of dieta, ceremonial apprenticeship, and deep listening, their work bridges sacred sound, somatic presence, and mystical insight.

A lifelong musician and student of energy, Jordi holds formal training in classical and jazz theory (University of North Texas, Berklee School of Music) and has led thousands of ceremonies devoted to healing through vibration. They are the founder of Rao Kaya, a healing center in Peru, and the author of Initiation into Sound Healing, a ceremonial guidebook for returning to coherence through sound.

John Campbell - Sunjuneone

John Campbell returns to M.P.R Ambient with the newly released track entitled 'Sunjuneone'.

 

 

Release date: Jun 13, 2025

John Campbell, a Los Angeles-based composer and modular synth artist, releases Sunjuneone, an immersive longform drone that threads warm low-end pressure through sun-baked atmospheres and shifting tonal beds. Recording them in a one-take performance using hardware synths like the Make Noise Strega, 0-Coast, and 0-CTRL, Campbell draws on years of experience in film scoring and sound design to build lush, emotionally rich sonic textures.

Sunjuneone begins with tonal stillness, slowly layering granular motion and harmonic drift. The track eventually tilts into brightness, resolving with a sense of weightless calm - equal parts melancholy and light. With no percussion and no melodic hook, it creates emotional movement through pure tone and texture.

For fans of: Ryuichi Sakamoto, Tim Hecker, Alessandro Cortini.

Sunjuneone is part of an upcoming EP of non-percussive modular works, Sunjuneone deepens Campbell's catalog of meditative, cinematic sound design.

Mirai No Hagaki - Within the Heartbeat of Stars

'Within the Heartbeat of Stars', the new single by Mirai No Hagaki is now playing on M.P.R Ambient.

 

 

Release date: June 6, 2025

“Within the Heartbeat of Stars”, the new single by Mirai No Hagaki, alias Davide Perico, is out now as a self‑release. The track, taken from the upcoming album 'Atomus Centum Soles Ardentes Occultat', due out this fall, marks a significant milestone: it has been added to the prestigious official Apple Music playlist “Pure Ambient”, a notable achievement for an independent artist.

The Sound

Entirely built around piano and string orchestra, the single defines a new style of ambient music: “intricate textures of strings created by intertwining minimal parts of individual instruments, combined with emotional and pure piano melodies.” The intention is music that breathes, meditates, and accompanies the listener on an emotional and contemplative journey.

The Artist: Davide Perico

Davide Perico is a composer, sound designer, and audio engineer based near Milan, active in the world of film and video game soundtracks. In the Mirai No Hagaki project—which he himself describes as “a delicate balance between pain and beauty” — he explores time, space and the soul, also using the Dolby Atmos format. His work spans from electronic to orchestral music and his portfolio includes soundtracks for games like Zerospace, Darkrise, The Repair House and various feature films with directors from around the world, along with awards such as “Best Original Score” at the Florence Film Awards 2020.

A Meditative Project

Perico holds the Mirai No Hagaki project especially dear, as he considers ambient music “the most powerful form of meditation and self-care.” For him, composing is an act of inner care and sharing, and “Within the Heartbeat of Stars” is a luminous testament to that vision.

LOGICA ABSTRACTA - Ad Astra

Now playing on M.P.R Ambient is Logica Abstracta with their latest track entitled 'Ad Astra'.

 

 

Release date: Mar 22, 2025

"Ad Astra" is a second single/EP by Logica Abstracta after a recently released full-length album, "Headspace Station." The title track opens both the EP and the bigger album and is the project at its finest: a short, deep ambient piece that immediately fills the space with its own kind of aural light. Themes of exploration and space exploration, in particular, often pop up on Logica Abstracta's records. This time, its vibe pays tribute to the sci-fi of the old days: the naivety and the epic scales, romanticism, and unkillable hope for tomorrow's discoveries.

When Vadim started Logica Abstracta, he already had several projects, numerous albums, and live appearances, so he had enough experience and equipment to immediately deliver a record of exceptional quality. "Alive Forms" was a strong debut that gained a fair amount of listeners without any marketing or promotion, purely because of the quality of its deep but light, bright but not flashy, mostly short ambient suites. Four albums and two singles later, the project still delivers something new within its own stylistic boundaries without losing its identity and personal vibes, tones, and colours. Unlike some other projects Vadim operates, Logica Abstracta is never too irritating, never too experimental, never too dark or sad - it always is 'a comfortable music', good for sonic tripping or simply as a background music that can surround with sound and disconnect the listener from the world, thus helping to focus or relax.

Polar Ember is more than music—it’s an auditory expedition into the fragile beauty of nature and the enduring power of subtle warmth in a world of vast, cold stillness. Perfect for late-night introspection, meditative moments, or anyone seeking a tranquil escape, this album invites you to lose yourself in its hushed majesty.

Helical Coil - The Path Through Myself

“The Path Through Myself” by Helical Coil, is now playing on M.P.R Ambient.

 

 

Release date: Mar 20, 2025

“The path through myself” is the first EP released from Helical Coil. This EP marks a significant milestone in his artistic journey, and this single is especially meaningful to him as it embodies the essence of his approach to ambient music—immersive, introspective, and deeply expressive.

Since 2021, musician Arno Schaaf, known by his artist name Helical Coil, has immersed
himself in the world of music production. With a deepening focus on ambient music and its
many sub-genres since 2023, Helical Coil has crafted a series of mesmerizing compositions
that transport listeners to ethereal soundscapes.

Helical Coil’s music is distinguished by intricate sound design and immersive atmospheric
textures. This has been reflected in the feedback from curators and listeners alike. “The
ambient composition creates an engaging atmospheric experience that is very close to what
I’m looking for in my selections,” one reviewer noted. The first part of his tracks is often
praised for its floating, cosmic quality.

While his productions have earned recognition, constructive critiques suggest refining certain
elements or enhancing the song’s conclusion. Nonetheless, many appreciate the creative
vision and potential behind Helical Coil’s work. “The instrumental has a calming presence,
with ambient and atmospheric elements that create a soothing, spacious mood,” remarked
another.

To date, Helical Coil has released 20 tracks, with several receiving airplay on online radio
stations. His artistic goal is to craft immersive sonic experiences that allow listeners to lose
themselves in otherworldly realms.

Spectrical - Among Lunar Glaciers

The album ‘Among Lunar Glaciers’ by Spectrical is available for pre-order and now featuring on M.P.R Ambient.

 

 

Release date 10 May 2025

Pre-order date 26 April 2025 Bandcamp

‘Among Lunar Glaciers’ is an experimental ambient drone work, conceived as an imaginary soundtrack to an exploration of glaciers on an icy moon and the varied environments within the glacier’s depths. In making the album, Spectrical challenged himself by using only acoustic guitar, violin, and occasional analogue noise as the sole sound sources. The original recordings were transformed with various computer-based processes into otherworldly yet intimate soundscapes. A reel-to-reel tape machine was used and manipulated by hand to add vintage textures and imperfections, and a Eurorack system was used for additional sound design. The resulting aural environments invite the listener to daydream about crystalline caverns, subglacial oceans and iridescent atmospheres in a world far from our own.
