Fuzei/Freiluft isn't a traditional double album. Each disc, offering it's own journey, they feel akin to one another, like sister albums. While both albums are carefully collaged from loops, samples, field recording, and live instruments.
The listener can choose their own order to listen.
Fuzei delivers spacious and modern synth melodies that swirl and dissolve.
Freiluft, there is a more electroacoustic & downtempo feel. Overall these arrangements, on both albums, are gentle effusions of companionship for these disrupted times of emotional displacement. All but two of the track titles are unique words for aesthetic feelings, adding another layer of depth to unpack.

Thanks to everyone involved in making this album come to life, a labour of love & a group effort.
To my family, thank you endlessly for always supporting my noise making.
Take care of yourselves, take care of each other.
Love is the movement.

A wonderful musical collection that shows the unity of the whole world and the support of Ukraine during the long war, which will undoubtedly end with the victory of Ukraine. And now the terrible numbers... Only according to official data as of today #russiaisaterroriststate killed 510 children in Ukraine, injured another 1141 children, kidnapped 19546 children. There are many more unofficial victims. And russia remains a member of the UN... desynkro303

Stunning work by a consistently great ambient musician. I love the gritty textures Andrew has uncovered across the entirety of Impulses. The Lifted Index
In the music of Paul Jordan, digitally manipulated field recordings become striking electronic songs that feel eerie and surreal. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 7, 2020
A featherlight love letter to Japanese agrarian life that draws parallels between ambient, field recording, and Brazilian guitar music. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 13, 2023

it takes a while, but the cover art finally starts to make sense: the entire album has been a sort of slow-motion takeoff. that feeling in your gut, where your stomach starts floating as if it’s weightless; that’s what anthéne does best. the last few tracks explode in turbulent walls of sound, with the titular track and light shade edging on the cinematic. as if by leaving the ground your memories are already fraying miso
