about

We're over the moon to announce the latest NX release, Instead of Dreams by Elaine Cheng. Comprising of five meditative synthetic drone compositions, this album forms the cultivation of Elaine's research into drone music, from ancient techniques through to the modern day, and formed part of her final MA thesis. Instead of Dreams was recorded at the legendary Goldsmiths Electronic Music Studios, on an array of analogue synths. Cassette tape out on May 21st, complete with beautiful risograph printed artwork by Elaine.

No-nonsense selection of quality ambient/drone tracks, each crafted using unique recipe. Some are pastoral, some are more spacey, plenty of them utilize damaged field recs and warm, organic textures. This field is pretty crowded, but this release stands out for sure. Good for a night listen. Kamil Pastuszek

One of my favorite ambient albums of 2022. Super deep, evocative, moody textures. Very tasteful use of field recordings! APORIE
