Seamus O'Muineachain - Shallows

From the album 'Island of Flowers' the track 'Shallows' by Seamus O’Muineachain is now playing on M.P.R Ambient.

 

 

Release date: May 29, 2026

Released today, 'Island of Flowers' is the 9th studio album from Bangkok-based, Irish multinstrumentalist Seamus O’Muineachain. The album began after O’Muineachain saw his first child on an ultrasound scanner for the first time.

“Seeing the baby and hearing the heartbeat for the first time was more inspiring to me as an artist than I had anticipated,” O’Muineachain says. “I started to have vivid visions of land brimming with flowers and life in my dreams.”

Centred on themes of flourishing and abundance, Island of Flowers is O’Muineachain’s most optimistic and decadent release to date. While retaining the simple piano lines found in his earlier work, the album also merges synths and field recordings with treated strings and minimal percussion.

Tracks such as “You” and “Farewell Formosa” favour accessible melodies and uplifting tones, while “Shallows” and “Lost, Roaming” incorporate elements of ambient IDM. Elsewhere, “We Swim” revisits O’Muineachain’s work in solo piano miniatures. Taken together, Island of Flowers unfolds as an exercise in world-building, one where melody and mood are paramount, and where a sense of life quietly insists on emerging.

Track List:

1. You
2. Lost, Roaming
3. Shallows
4. Night Shade
5. We Swim
6. Rivers Everywhere
7. Talamh
8. I Survive
9. Farewell Formosa
10. You (Reprise, Year of the Horse)

Artist

Seamus O'Muineachain is a Bangkok-based multi-instrumentalist composer and producer from Béal an Mhuirthead, Ireland. Using piano, synthesizers, and guitars, he aims to create otherworldly atmospheres with simple melodies and textures.

ADAKU - MissionX

'MissionX' by ADAKU is now playing on M.P.R Chill.

 

 

Release date: Apr 23, 2026

Artist ADAKU has released one of her most ambitious works to date, 'MissionX,' a breath taking musical tribute to humanity’s lunar expeditions. Moving away from standard club textures, the single is a sophisticated blend of contemporary song writing and jazz-infused space-rock, now streaming on Spotify and all major platforms.

Unlike the high-tempo electronics often found in the genre, “MissionX” is a poignant, lyrical exploration of the silence and wonder found beyond our atmosphere.

The Sound of the Cosmos

The defining characteristic of 'MissionX' is its soaring, eternal saxophone solos. These instrumental passages act as a second voice, weaving through the track to evoke the vast, shimmering loneliness of the lunar landscape. The saxophone doesn't just provide a melody; it provides the "soul" of the mission, echoing the grandeur of the Moon itself.

Lyrical Depth: A Mission Beyond Earth

At the heart of the track are evocative lyrics that document the recent missions orbiting the Moon. ADAKU moves past technical jargon to touch on the human spirit—the courage of the voyagers, the fragility of the "Blue Marble" viewed from a distance, and the historical weight of this new era of lunar exploration.

About ADAKU

ADAKU is a multidisciplinary artist known for her ability to weave complex emotional narratives into danceable rhythms. Since her debut, she has garnered critical acclaim for her "voice of gold" and her refusal to be pigeonholed into a single genre. With "MissionX," she solidifies her position as a vanguard of the new African sound.

Release date: Apr 18, 2026

Shadows and Light (Anthem) is an expansive cinematic ambient composition exploring contrast not as opposition, but as integration. Built around immersive harmonic depth and subtle pulse architecture, the track unfolds gradually, inviting sustained listening and spatial awareness.

Artist

Aurell’Hanar is a composer focused on frequency-driven ambient architecture and immersive sonic environments. His work moves beyond conventional genre definitions, centering instead on cohesion, resonance and spatial depth.

Release date: Mar 10, 2026

Domecost - My Grey Lake

'My Grey Lake' by Domecost is now playing on M.P.R Chill.

 

 

Release date: May 16, 2026

My Grey Lake

My Grey Lake was born from a simple creative impulse: to give a dark soul to an ambient future garage track. The image came from the sound itself — a grey lake hidden in a desolate forest, on a cloudy day. A place that looks melancholic at first glance, yet feels strangely warm and welcoming. Somewhere you could imagine lying in the water, letting the atmosphere hold you. Shelter disguised as solitude.

That same vision is reflected directly in the artwork: still water wrapped in mist, trees standing like sentinels, a pale light breaking through the clouds without ever truly illuminating anything. The cover is not a graphic choice — it is the exact image that existed in the artist's mind while composing the track.

Artist

Domecost is an independent electronic music artist based in Naples, Italy. Rooted in trance, his music embraces the full spectrum of electronic genres — from ambient and future garage to darker, more experimental territories. He is also a member of DLL Studio, an EDM duo.

'Horizon' opens with delicate, crystalline melodies that gradually evolve into a rich tapestry of lush synthesizers and driving percussive elements.

Emmanuel Pfirter - For Crows & Trees

'For Crows and Trees' the meditative journey of the Handpan and Strings by Emmanuel Pfirter, now playing on M.P.R Ambient.

 

 

Release date: Apr 17, 2026

How can a single sound bridge the gap between profound stillness and vibrant energy? "For Crows and Trees", the new instrumental single by Emmanuel Pfirter, answers this through a captivating dialogue between the ancestral vibrations of the handpan and the elegant textures of viola and violins. It is a track designed to guide the listener into a state of deep calm, while simultaneously infusing a sense of renewed vitality.

The Genesis: A Private Concert for Nature

"For Crows and Trees" wasn't composed at a desk; it was born from pure improvisation deep within the woods. “I was playing for the sake of it, letting my fingers run across the steel,” the artist explains. “The song emerged on its own, as if nature itself were dictating the notes. When I finished, I looked up and saw two crows perched on a nearby tree: they had been sitting there, motionless, listening. In that moment, I realized the song belonged to them and to those trees.”

The Track: Balancing Peace and Energy

This single is a sonic experience designed for those seeking a state of serenity without sacrificing vitality. The handpan, with its dreamy harmonics, guides the listener through an introspective journey that calms the mind while simultaneously providing an energetic boost—a nod to the artist's rhythmic precision and percussive background.

The Artist: An Unexpected Evolution

Emmanuel Pfirter’s path is a unique one: it began at age six behind a drum kit, pounding out hard rock and heavy metal rhythms. Over the years, his sonic curiosity led him to explore new horizons, moving from local bands to a solo career. Today, while still keeping his rock soul alive in various projects, he has found his most intimate voice through the handpan, transforming percussion from an instrument of impact into a tool for healing and meditation.

MABLONDE - Stereotica

Musician MABLONDE debuts on M.P.R Chill with the track 'Stereotica'

 

 

Released 15th March 2026

MABLONDE is a French musician who started out as a beatmaker in the 90s. But first and foremost, he listened to a huge amount of music.

Initially, he listened to the music of the 70s, and then, in the early 80s, he immersed himself in British New Wave and Belgian and German Electronic Body Music. These musical worlds, which he describes as incredibly rich, would shape his own "musical history."

Enriched by this musical wave, which he calls "his studies," he naturally composes music with rich sonic textures, composed of sequenced or dominant analog synthesizers, ethereal, distantly reverberated guitars, and industrial or abstract sounds. Female vocals are invited to extend and transcribe the sometimes dreamlike atmosphere of each track, composed and arranged in a minimalist style.

Schatten Der Erde - Raphaels Mantra

Artist and Composer Schatten Der Erde debuts on M.P.R Ambient with 'Raphaels Mantra'

 

 

Release date: Apr 10, 2026

With Raphaels Mantra, artist and composer Schatten Der Erde opens a sonic gateway into a world where sound becomes remembrance, and music becomes a vessel for inner awakening.

Blending delicate piano textures with subtle ambient layers and cinematic depth, Raphaels Mantra unfolds like a quiet revelation. The piece invites listeners to slow down, to breathe, and to reconnect with a deeper sense of presence beyond the noise of everyday life.

Inspired by the character Raphael from the spiritual-dystopian novel Schatten der Erde – Erinnern des Lichts, the track reflects themes of truth, perception, and the awakening of consciousness. Raphael, a seeker of hidden knowledge, symbolizes the courage to look beyond illusion—and this essence is translated into a soundscape that feels both introspective and expansive.

Rather than following traditional structures, Raphaels Mantra evolves organically, allowing emotion and atmosphere to guide the listener. It sits at the intersection of Ambient, Neo-Classical, and Soundtrack music—offering a refreshing and deeply immersive listening experience. More than just a standalone track, Raphaels Mantra is a fragment of a greater story—inviting the audience to feel, reflect, and remember.

Raphaels Mantra is part of a larger artistic vision: a series of 12 musical mantras, each representing one of the central characters of the story and their inner journey.
