«On ‘Auras’ I tried to expand my range of timbre, and to create a kind of ‘symphonic’ structure.» - Furtherset
With his fourth release on -OUS, Furtherset presents an intriguing three-part EP that plots a unique confluence of ambient, experimental electronics and modern classical; three chapters of stratospheric drama and depth that set the stage for his long-awaited forthcoming album.
‘Auras’ begins with the gentle drift of sparks and tremors, moving into delicately wrought, disintegrative currents of sound, before sustaining a sense of elevated physicality, and expanding outwards, reaching for the beyond. Furtherset develops new compositions with the mindset of a writer who approaches the blank page of a new book. Articulations appear, briefly at first, then develop into words, then into sentences, and finally, a compelling story is formed.
Rhythms transition into melodies, harmonics are added almost imperceptibly, creating an abundant filigree of sound. ‘Auras’ is a spiralling work of glitch and slippage, of surge and overload, of stillness and suspension.
Furtherset’s new music is time dilating and dimensional, creating space and stature, a world which contains dazzling and manifold tonalities. ‘Auras’ illustrates an evolution: «I wanted to have much more clarity and technical precision, to make everything more crystalline». Like the prismatic light of a crystal ‘Auras’ changes as each element comes into focus. Here Furtherset takes the listener on an emotive, mercurial journey, designing a towering universe of evocative sensation and memory.
Furtherset is the musical project of italian musician and artist Tommaso Pandolfi — class of 1995. His music is an open invitation to immerse oneself into a weightless states of mind. Exhaling growth and inhaling decay, his walls of sound are restlessly built from layered and looped harmonies, shifting modulations and sampled voices. The figures are pushed over the tipping point to where they explode and are then reshaped into melodic cascades.

The first LP from nightlife cornerstone Melissa Maristuen, aka Doc Sleep, turns away from the dancefloor and toward the personal. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 21, 2023
This release got my attention when i read screaming feedback, towering Drones, tender noises and pulsating frequencies together with linear and visceral guitar Drones from the labels presentation.
I mean, what's not to love, it's like a dream come true if that kind of sound is your vice.
This might not be for the faint hearted but for me it'll be like a comfort blanket.
A must have release. Finn of Tomland
