Melanie Velarde - Deep Circles (2021)

Berlin’s Melanie Velarde submits an arcing piece of neue-skool Berlin kosmiche ambient that fits Longform Editions’ remit like a glove

For 29 minutes Melanie follows the styles of her side with NYC’s RVNG Intl and Commend There series with a majestic transition from layered string pads to almost Raga-esque drones, bubbling new age drum machines, sloshing marimbas and blushing spiritual jazz synth/strings, culminating in cascading h/arps.
