Ulver originated as a black metal band in 1993 but defied the traditions of the scene by experimenting with genres and soundscapes to build a career which has taken them to the worlds of pop, ambient and jazz. Perdition City marked their exploration into ambient music, written as the soundtrack to an imaginary film. It's moody, introverted and atmospheric, and is the album that I reference the most. An underappreciated piece of art which I would love everyone to explore.

Amazing blackgaze/atmospheric black metal release from a solo artist. The soundscapes on this are super introspective and ethereal. It can hit in a number of different moods, good for angry or just contemplative.

bleak, ruinous, claustrophobic, beautiful outsider house / techno music from one of the genre’s finest. clicked for me last year and became a great companion for wintertime wandering in the city

Okay, I like ambient music – sue me. One of my favorite composers is a French electronic artist whose music I might describe as ethereal. It’s like soft-reverb-soaked, loop-based, nighttime-inspired melodic music. She’s prolific in the studio but rarely plays shows and doesn’t do a lot of press. Her side projects (Dj Lostboi and Belmont Girl) are just as interesting. If I were going to make a movie about eternity, I would have her score it.https://soundcloud.com/mmmmalibuhttps://soundcloud.com/belmontghttps://soundcloud.com/djlostboi

Set in a hypothetical future where humans are immortal, Jared Leto plays the last living mortal at 118 years old who on his deathbed, and with a fading memory, tells a journalist his life story which starts to fragment and explore the paths his life could have taken based on decisions he could have made. It explores the multiverse hypothesis and I was always struck by the concept, and the line ‘until you make a choice, everything is possible’.

From Hong Kong, Wong Ping is an animator who explores desire, shame and morality in his surreal films that are at once naive and knowingly shocking. I discovered him first on NOWNESS through his short, ‘Doggy Love’, and was immediately entranced by the lo-fi, psychedelic pop animation and narration of a NSFW valentines love story.

I went through life never having a hobby but I found one last year, and it’s going on Speedboats. They are fun, fast and ridiculous.
