Hope This Finds You Well is the result of an investigation into contemporary corporate culture and its reflection in the way streaming platforms create and tailor playlists suited to boost labour efficiency.

Dragged down from its Olympian heights, with its vulnerable nomenclature applied liberally, ambient music has been adopted, adapted and weaponised. Deployed as healing services, office playlists cater to corporate wellness, workplace harmony and act as a mental tonic.

Fizic is pleased to present the results of this empiric research, realised between Q4 2018 and Q1 2019. It employs synthesis, sampling, tone generation, field recording, ghost transmissions all consolidated into twelve executions. The release also serves as an introduction to Cosmin's next project, a second album of personal explorations forthcoming halfway through 2019. More about that in a future memo!
