Album Notes & Community Reviews

Blending Tinti's immersive field recordings of the Borneo rainforest with Kalma's minimalist synthesizer drones and circular saxophone breathing, 'Osmose' is a pioneering electro-acoustic work. The album creates a deeply meditative, symbiotic environment that bridges nature and early ambient music.
