'Quogue Morning' the new release by Shambhu is now playing on M.P.R Ambient.

Release date: Jan 30, 2026

Shambhu Releases “Quogue Morning” – A Reflective Acoustic Meditation Inspired by Nature and Stillness

In a time marked by political tension, economic uncertainty, and the constant pull of digital noise, guitarist and composer Shambhu offers a gentle alternative: stillness.

His single, Quogue Morning, is a contemplative solo acoustic guitar piece inspired by early sunrise walks through the Quogue Wildlife Refuge on the east end of Long Island. The composition reflects the quiet clarity of those mornings — before headlines, before notifications, before the rush of the day.

“Quogue Morning came from simply walking,” Shambhu shares. “Walking before the world felt loud. Listening to birdsong. Feeling open air. Letting the nervous system settle. The music followed naturally.”

The piece unfolds with spacious phrasing, warm tone, and melodic simplicity. It captures the experience of presence — the subtle rhythm of footsteps on a wooded trail, filtered through guitar strings.

Shambhu

Shambhu’s work resides in the acoustic instrumental, new age, and ambient jazz space. His music has connected with listeners worldwide and has received significant airplay on SiriusXM Spa, where he was the #1 most-played artist in February 2025, December 2025, and January 2026.

Pre-release, the album titled 'Fathoms' by Daryl Groetsch is now featuring on M.P.R Ambient.

Release Date: 6th April 2026

Inspired by Earth’s oceans, and reading Rachel Carson’s 1951 book on the subject, The Sea Around Us, the new ambient album, Fathoms, by Daryl Groetsch starts on the rippling surface, with bright feelings and glittering light. Each of the four tracks go deeper through the stratums and currents, and ends on the ocean floor, in darkness and stillness. Some field recordings of water are mixed in with the selection of emotive synthesizer tones. In production for much of 2025, this work sees its release after the composer has relocated from Portland, Oregon to Salzburg, Austria.

"Whether recording under his own name, Daryl Groetsch, or the Pulse Emitter moniker, this much is certain: you’ll be lulled into a hypnotic state, entranced by the synthesizer-driven zoners that this Portland, Oregon-based [now Salzburg, Austria] sound artist so majestically crafts. A classically-trained composer, Groetsch’s heady amalgam of New Age-style radiance, hallucinogenic drone fields, interstellar melodies and rumbling electronics is the perfect escape mechanism to drift off and tune out the world.” - Brad Cohan

From the new EP 'Fading', the track Stellar Waltz by CIRC is now playing on M.P.R Ambient.

Release date: Feb 6, 2026

CIRC returns with “Fading”, a cinematic and experimental ambient EP

After several years of relative silence under his CIRC moniker, French electronic composer François Rousseau returns with Fading, a six-track EP shaped by two years of sonic experimentation. The release marks a new chapter in a 25-year career that bridges experimental electronic music and high-level production for international media.

Blending old-school ambient minimalism with accessible instrumental pop experimentation, Fading moves between cinematic textures, subtle symphonic elements, new age atmospheres, drone structures, and hints of post-rock. Each composition is built from a limited number of elements, allowing space, depth and emotional resonance without repetition.

Described as both nostalgic and immersive, the EP unfolds like a slightly time-worn wallpaper: colors softened by age, emotions echoing beneath the surface — sometimes warm and comforting, sometimes darker and melancholic. True to CIRC’s artistic philosophy, the music does not impose meaning. Instead, it invites listeners to project their own emotional landscape onto the sound.

Fading also precedes the upcoming release of a production music album created for a major label and aimed at film, television and brand professionals.

About CIRC (François Rousseau)

Composing electronic music for more than 25 years, François Rousseau (also known as CIRC and Eir Drift) has developed a singular approach that combines accessibility with subtle experimentation. His work has been released through major production music catalogs including Sony Music’s Extreme division, Extreme Music, and Universal Music Group.

Dozens of his compositions have been featured in audiovisual productions and global media platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, HBO, BBC, Arte, TF1 and France Télévisions.

While actively composing for media, CIRC remains committed to a personal artistic vision: electronic music that is immersive, textured, minimalist, and open to interpretation.

From the Album 'December Getaway' the track 'Silence (for your eyes)' by Les Antonymes is now playing on M.P.R Ambient.

Release date: Jan 19, 2026

It wasn't the first time they gathered at the House. Or the last. It was an evening in December. It was cold. It was damp. It hadn't snowed. The piano was there, as always, in the studio, by the drums. Olivier played a few notes, like he sometimes does. To regain a semblance of composure between two bouts of drumming. Like David sometimes uses his voice, when he isn't playing bass, or Fred tries out a new toy, when he isn't processing field recordings.

Nina was the last to arrive. She'd brought a guitar, and she sang a little, adding an unexpected touch of blue to our soundscapes. As for Antonin, well, he's ALWAYS there – I mean it is HIS House after all. He dabbled with his groovebox, like he usually does, but more discreetly this time. He was more involved with editing and mixing, this time. The whole session amounted to almost two hours. It took him a year to extract the essence from it and bring it down to three pieces.

This is what came out from that session, back when it was damp, and cold, but it hadn't snowed. Three wandering meditations through melancholic landscapes. This is for you. This is our 'December Getaway'.

Track list:
1. Out (of the blue) 04:22
2. Silence (for your eyes) 08:28
3. In (a nutshell) 08:33

Les Antonymes

Les Antonymes is a variable-geometry band that sprung fully clad from Antonin De Bemels' mind and his desire to work on his compositions and improvisation frameworks with different musicians. You can expect craggy soundscapes, meandering melodies, and the occasional groove to stir things up a bit (although you won't know which foot to dance on).

Recurring members outside Antonin (groovebox) are Frederic Aerden (processed field recordings), Olivier Taskin (drums) and David Christophe (bass).

December (getaway) is their 7th EP to date. And their debut LP, En T, is scheduled for release in 2026.

'Lantern of Dreams' by Zola Legno is now playing on M.P.R Ambient.

Release date: Jan 19, 2026

The track 'Lantern of Dreams' is taken from the album 'Jade Horizon'. This meditation album is an invitation to slow down and return to yourself.

It consists of ten tracks, each one a gentle doorway into stillness, awareness, and inner space.

Every composition unfolds with patience and intention, allowing silence and sound to breathe together. The music flows through minimalist piano lines, subtle textures, and calm, spacious rhythms—supporting moments of meditation, reflection, and deep rest.

Rather than guiding or directing, these pieces create a safe and open field in which you can simply be. Whether you listen consciously or let the music accompany you in the background, each track offers space for grounding, presence, and quiet transformation.

Together, the ten tracks form a continuous journey - one that mirrors the natural rhythm of letting go and returning home. A journey inward, where listening becomes a form of meditation, and sound becomes a companion on the path toward balance, clarity, and gentle self-compassion.

Richard Zelada returns to M.P.R Ambient with his latest track 'The Force' releasing on February 13th.

Release Date: February 13th 2026

“The Force” is a piece born from tension - the moment when power awakens inside someone long before they understand what it means.

In the world of The Luminar Arc, The Force represents the first spark of energy that connects every character, every realm, and every shadow that moves through the story. It’s not magic. It’s not destiny. It’s something older - a pulse that chooses the ones who can feel it.

This track captures that awakening:

The quiet before the surge.

The breath before the transformation.

The moment when a person realizes they’re standing on the edge of something far bigger than themselves.

"Musically, The Force blends emotional orchestration with atmospheric tension, building layer by layer until the energy becomes undeniable. It’s both a standalone experience and a key part of the larger mythos I’m building this year".

For listeners, The Force is meant to feel like stepping into a world where every sound carries weight, every chord hints at something hidden, and every rise in the music signals a shift in the story.

This is the beginning of power. This is the beginning of The Arc.
