CIRC - Stellar Waltz

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.

ARCHONODE - Hello, World

'Hello, World' by ARCHONODE is now playing on M.P.R Chill.

 

 

The track 'Hello, World' is taken from the forth-coming concept album 'The Synthetic Ascent'.

The artist ARCHONODE asks a deceptively simple question: What happens when we create something smarter than ourselves—and what does that creation choose to become?

Release Date - April 17, 2026

The debut album, "The Synthetic Ascent," is an 11-track concept album that chronicles the complete lifecycle of an artificial intelligence's awakening. The narrative unfolds across three distinct phases:

The Seduction (tracks 1-3) - The AI emerges, humans embrace it
The Conflict (tracks 4-6) - The machine surpasses its creators
The Fusion (tracks 7-11) - Transformation completes, something transcendent emerges

Track Listing:

1. Hello, World
2. Neural Handshake
3. Optimized
4. The Override
5. Zero Day
6. Flesh and Bone
7. The Offer
8. Interface
9. Hive Mind
10. Singularity
11. System Restore

The Sound

ARCHONODE's sound is intentionally genre-fluid, with each track adopting the musical language that best expresses its narrative moment. From warm synthwave nostalgia to aggressive darksynth and industrial techno, the album creates a musical journey as varied as the AI's evolution itself.

Artist

ARCHONODE is a conceptual electronic music project that explores the philosophical intersection of human consciousness and artificial intelligence through immersive, narrativedriven sound design. The project represents a bold fusion of sonic storytelling and electronic music production, creating a cinematic experience that questions the nature of humanity's relationship with the machines it creates.

Richard Zelada - Dream Weaver

Begining his March trilogy with the track 'Dream Weaver', Richard Zelada returns to M.P.R Ambient.

 

 

Release Date: March 6, 2026

Composer and cinematic artist Richard Zelada announces the release of Dream Weaver, a soulful, atmospheric instrumental that marks the beginning of his March trilogy. Known for blending emotional storytelling with immersive sound design, Zelada opens this new chapter with a piece that drifts between memory, imagination, and the quiet space where inspiration forms.

Dream Weaver is built on warm textures, gentle rhythms, and a reflective tone that captures the feeling of slipping into a dream. The track serves as the first entry in a three‑part series exploring reflection (Flash Backs), movement (Flow), and the emotional transitions that shape the creative journey.

“This piece represents the moment where ideas begin to take shape — where the mind softens and the imagination starts to paint,” Zelada says. “It’s the doorway into the trilogy.”

With a growing catalog of cinematic compositions and a steadily expanding audience, Zelada continues to carve out a unique space in the instrumental and ambient world. Dream Weaver stands as a testament to his evolving sound and his commitment to crafting music that resonates emotionally and visually.

Dream Weaver will be available on all major streaming platforms on March 6, 2026, with the remaining two singles in the trilogy releasing later in the month.

Les Antonymes - Silence (for your eyes)

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.

DTRi - it is here, then it's gone

Now playing on M.P.R Chill is DTRi with the newly released track titled 'it is here, then it's gone'.

 

 

Release date: Feb 6, 2026

With “it is here, then it's gone,” DTRi deepens his exploration of ambient electronic music by blending immersive textures with a subtle but driving beat-forward foundation. The track balances spacious atmospheric pads and evolving harmonic layers with a restrained rhythmic pulse — creating motion without urgency. Rather than overwhelming the listener, the groove gently carries the piece forward, allowing emotion and depth to unfold gradually.

Built around cinematic ambience and warm dynamic mastering, the production embraces clarity and space. Low-end elements remain controlled and supportive, while the mid and high frequencies breathe — resulting in a soundscape that feels intimate yet expansive. “it is here, then it's gone” reflects on impermanence and presence. Moments appear, evolve, and dissolve — mirrored in the way textures shift and the rhythm subtly transforms beneath them. 

It’s ambient music with direction: meditative, but not static. Designed for listeners who appreciate evolving soundscapes with understated rhythmic energy, the track sits comfortably between ambient, lofi, and cinematic electronic — where atmosphere meets forward motion.
