Episodes

    1. It’s been a while since the last Forgotten Futures, sorry about that. But I’m back now with another fantastic selection of (mostly) electronic music to fill your ears with. And eyes in some cases too as a few of today’s selections have accompanying music videos. If you enjoy something please follow the links and support the artists either with money or just a kind message. And if you’re making music yourself please send it over!

    1. It’s time to unwind again with another hour of (mostly) relaxing sounds and minimal interruptions.

      1. Alessandro Ambrosi, La collina

        Taken from: Sogni

        © All rights reserved. Used with permission.

        These tracks are from an album called Sogni, which means Dreams in Italian. Each song is the portrait of a dream in music through the use of surreal soundscapes, blending field recordings with accordion and other instruments, both acoustic and digital. I wanted to explore the communicative power of field recordings and their ability to project the listener into a new world. The narrative of the tracks follow a line that is both familiar and unpredictable at times, giving a dreamlike feeling.

      2. reirwg, Peanut

        Taken from: Enterprises Release of the week

        © All rights reserved. Used with permission.

        Enterprises is an album of demos, outtakes and newly made music that was recorded during 2022 to 2023. All of the music featured here is drone and ambient music with some other cool elements thrown in.

      3. melondruie, Umber

        Taken from: Audio Interface Submissions

        © All rights reserved. Used with permission.

        “Track was created at the beginning of January 2025. I was, and still am, feeling very disconnected from humanity. I felt like I was floating through a dark and empty world. I guess this is my attempt at capturing that feeling of disconnect.”

      4. Angelwitch XIl, Astral Voyage

        Taken from: Nightfall(1798)

        © All rights reserved. Used with permission.

        Angelwitch XII's new album, "Nightfall," is a relaxing ambient music album designed to aid listeners in falling asleep. Each track is crafted to provide a calming and soothing experience, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. "Nightfall" is ideal for anyone seeking a peaceful soundtrack to aid in falling asleep or for creating a calm environment.

      5. Francois Dion, Interlude 2

        Taken from: Candy Store(Self released)

        © All rights reserved. Used with permission.

        The album is called "Candy Store", as it really digs far and wide in the palette of synthesizers and other sound generating instruments.

        Each track combines a more "traditional" instrument, with many synthesizers.

      6. Fields of Few, Afloat in Timeless Clouds

        Taken from: Love 80's 110(Triplicate Records)

        © All rights reserved. Used with permission.

        Two artists at the top of their game, coming together to celebrate... what else? Being at the top of their game! A smaller offering, only four tracks, but packed with plenty of character to sustain delight over multiple listens. The selected tunes play to each others strengths, complimenting one anothers downtempo electronica chops marvellously. Four certified mellow bangers. Get on this.

      7. Fugue State, Learning To Walk Again

        Taken from: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

        CC BY-SA

        "Learning To Walk Again" was made during a period of change both personally and musically. It was one of the first times I attempted to write a thing that felt a certain way (cautiously hopeful, reflective), as opposed to inspiration coming from sounds I'm hearing in my head. I consider it a successful attempt.

      8. Grzegorz Bojanek, Do You Remember The Summer Sun?

        Taken from: Do You Remember The Summer Sun?

        © All rights reserved. Used with permission.

        "Do You Remember the Summer Sun?" is a nostalgic ambient guitar track that takes you back to the warm, golden days of summer. Perfect for anyone longing for the carefree moments under the sun, this track weaves atmospheric textures, creating a calming escape. Whether you're reminiscing about sunsets or relaxing at home, this track will transport you to the peaceful embrace of summer memories.

      9. Michael D. Tidwell & Piscean Daydreams, Faint Whisper of a Wraith

        Taken from: Ghost(Ambient Cat)

        © All rights reserved. Used with permission.

        With its fusion of cinematic storytelling and emotive sound design, 'Ghost' offers a deeply immersive experience perfect for late-night reflection, meditative focus, or creative inspiration. Each track explores the delicate balance between light and shadow, leaving listeners captivated by its haunting beauty.

        Like walking through the woods as twilight turns to night. You may imagine you hear someone, or something, on the path behind. You can’t be sure.

      12. reirwg, In The Night Sky, I See Your Eyes

        Taken from: Enterprises Release of the week

    1. In the second ambient ambient hour of the year we start with a very poor guided meditation and then swiftly move on for an hour of sweet, sweet relaxing sounds.

      1. TEX, Golden Palms

        Taken from: TEX(Self released)

        © All rights reserved. Used with permission.

        Johnny Tex hails from Cape Town, South Africa and has mostly been writing Garage Rock, Rockabilly and Surf Music for the past decade or so (his impressive list of bands includes The Future Primitives, The Dyna Jets, King Trash and The Thirty Eights). He recently transitioned over to producing mostly on the computer under the name TEX and finds he can actually be more creative this way because it feels like literally anything is possible - he says he "can just get lost tweaking sounds forever".

      2. prePosur, Hurricane

        Taken from: RTS.EP(Self released)

        © All rights reserved. Used with permission.

        Hurricane is taken from an Untitled 6 track EP made in only one week. The tracks are based around the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the hellish conditions the enslaved had to go through while on the ships to the Americas. prePosur describes the EP as a gift back to my those before hime who were forcibly transported to the country he--and many other black people--call home.

      3. Techno-Tony, Colloquy 2

        Taken from: Colloquy 2(Self released)

        © All rights reserved. Used with permission.

        This and all Techno-Tony's tracks released are recorded live in one take on a Eurorack modular synth. He performs locally in Santa Cruz, California using the same setup. Of course the rack contents change gradually over time. Techno-Tony calls his genre techno-jazz, perhaps inappropriately he says. But then we're living in a post-genre world now aren't we?

      4. Infant, Lithic Disc

        Taken from: Spiral Industries(Kino Disk)

        © All rights reserved. Used with permission.

        Lithic Disc is the final track from the four track Spiral Industries EP by Infant that was released at the end of October 2024. The EP is atmospheric and textural and well-worth your attention. You can get it for any price you choose from Bandcamp.

      5. this occasional society and james hastings, ghosts run in our family

        Taken from: impossibly impermanent(Self released)

        © All rights reserved. Used with permission.

        This Occasional Society teams up with James Hastings for the Impossibly Permanent EP. The artists completed the EP remotely via exchanging files and messaging but they sound very much in-sync here. The aim was to create something the listener could lose themselves in and hopefully find some space for themselves. Free/name your price from Bandcamp.

      6. CLOUDWARMER, Journal of the Plague Year and Other Apparitions

        Taken from: Forget Me Nots(Self released)

        CC BY-NC-SA

        Eddie Palmer puts out some truly excellent music under his Cloudwarmer project. 'Journal of the Plague Year and Other Apparitions' is taken from his Forget Me Nots album released back in 2022. Expect dark beats, upright bass and shimmering synth lines.

        Taken from: fade from view(Self released)

        © All rights reserved. Used with permission.

        Taken from fade from view by Chad Glenn, this is an album that will take you on a journey into outer space and to the depths of the ocean.

      8. Eustress, Aam

        Taken from: Arx(Kino Disk)

        © All rights reserved. Used with permission.

        Only three tracks long but packed with dense layers of electronics and organic sounds in the vein of Skee Mask.

      9. Ordos Mk.0, Odyssey

        Taken from: Sisyphean Audio Therapy 2(Self released)

        © All rights reserved. Used with permission.

        From the opening chords of the first track you know that Sisyphean Audio Therapy 2 is going to be a treat. As the album gets going there are uplifting pads that are reminiscent of Boards of Canada without sounding derivative. I actually can hear the birds in this one. I'm on a beach and I'm feeling calm. A perfect soundtrack to a solitary contemplative walk at twilight.

      10. Okmiracle, Up/up down

        Taken from: Drop audio(Self released)

        © All rights reserved. Used with permission.

        Crispy rhythms and viscous ambient melodies contrast with each other like colors on an artist's canvas. Subtly intertwined in a flow of endless energy, a flow of goodness and sadness, sharpness and smoothness, clarity and fuzziness. The album is inspired by autumn walks along empty beaches, rocky landscapes, amber sunsets.

      11. Aoire, Biggar Bank

        Aoire is South Cumbrian, UK musician Shaun Blezard. Making music after a few years away he returns to his ambient roots. This track is taken from the release Arthur Baker bw Biggar Bank which is a first venture into the world of hardware machines

      12. Please Close Your Eyes, The Moment Before We Sleep

        Taken from: Music For Floating(Mortality Tables)

        © All rights reserved. Used with permission.

        Taken from the new album Music for Floating which was released on 10 January 2025 via Mortality Tables. The title ‘Music for Floating’ comes from one of the two tests that I use when I’m listening back to my music and checking in with how I feel about it. The first test is when I’m dozing in bed, and the other is when I’m in the bath. Both of those things feel like floating. - Oliver Richards

    1. 25 minutes of music from Paul Griffin, C. Circo, this occasional society, decibyte and… Paul Griffin again. 🙂

      1. Paul Griffin, Heat Death

        Taken from: Jamuary 2025(Self released)

        The movement in this piece from loud to quiet had me thinking of entropy and the heat death of the universe, which sounds downright peaceful these days.

        This track was inspired by our diabolical dystopian dreamscape. Also, it is my first January track for 2025. The track should be pronounced as each individual letter D - N - D - N - D

        I wanted to do something a little less overtly ominous sounding than some of my other tracks so far. The main sound is a patch I built with a couple of wavetables, mangled up with the zoia.

    1. I’m back with the first Forgotten Futures of 2025 and I’ve got some excellent tracks as always. Expect high-energy, relaxing stuff, melodic electronica and other good things.

    1. Packed into tonight’s truly international Disturbing Dream we have dark ambience from Scotland, soundscapes from Ukraine, field recordings and industrial from the USA, the soundtrack to a post-apocalyptic Brazil, live synth explorations from Japan, Australian ambience, hypnotic French modular synth and even a little Death Jazz from the UK. I guess Disturbing Dreams and universal.

    1. Pete Xylander is back with another stunning selection of tunes covering a lot of ground. He starts by inviting you to follow him down an enticing electronic avenue of ambience before gentle guiding you into a gunnel of glitch. Next, chips are on the menu — no, not the kind you have for your tea every night — we’re talking Mega Drive… we’re talking GameBoy! (Did you know that Nelson was coming to visit?) We round things off with a trip to Japan on our way to space. What a trip.

      Xylander is doing his special night-time voice again which can only mean, it’s time for Disturbing Dreams.
