this album is a transatlantic collab with the talented multi-instrumentalist Alex Gaylon, who has experimented with several bands ranging from noise to jazz.
aeon :
‘after the rich experience of Alex’s guitar improvisations on “Distant I,” I felt the need to rework certain parts in my own ‘style’.
not to please my ego but to tell in more detail the story of this space castaway who slowly loses his mind.
in these troubled times I guess everyone can relate to it and maybe find some peace with our music.’
to enjoy the best experience, please use decent headphones, at high volume 🙂
we know that times are tough for many of you.
so we decided to set the price of this release to ‘pay what you want’ (or can).
for those who wonder what price is ‘fair’ the answer is $8 ($1 per track or 4 minutes). of course, any contribution, big or small, will still be greatly appreciated (remember that $1 is about 300 streams).
øjeRum – Ensomheden Vi Deler (IIKKI)
Label Description:

• more INFOS/PHOTOS : http://www.iikki-books.com/iikki-029
___________________________________________________
“Ensomheden Vi Deler” (“The Loneliness We Share”) is the result of a dialogue between the collages and the music of øjeRum, initiated by IIKKI, between December 2024 and July 2025.
the complete project works in two physical imprints:
a book and a disc (vinyl/cd)
it should be experienced in different ways :
the book read alone
the disc listened to alone
the book and the disc read and listened to together.
___________________________________________________
øjeRum is Copenhagen based musician and collage artist Paw Grabowski.
With his collages, the distinctive feature of øjeRum’s works is their ability to combine different historical and artistic periods, such as ancient sculpture, medieval frescoes, classical painting and photography, and to make them interact with one another.
øjeRum is also renowned for his work as a musician, where he stands out for his surreal, mysterious and poetic universe. His music and art are closely linked. These two sides of the artist’s work are constantly intertwined.
In his øjeRum guise, he plucks and strums his treated acoustic instruments, sounding at times like church bells, at times like angelic harp, at time like drones, and suspends the listener in the magic of his melodies.
With a deep back-catalogue of releases since 2014 – spanning labels such as eilean rec., Room40, Line, Opal Tapes and many more – he continues exploring his minimal, textural and deeply personal style of ambient music.
The collage and music project “Ensomheden Vi Deler” (“The Loneliness We Share”) is an exploration of loneliness, closeness and distance. A meditation on the fragile architectures and hidden shapes of human connection.
This is his second release on IIKKI.

James Hoehl – 1974 (Self-Released)
Rapoon & Pas Musique – Knowledge Has No Enemies But The Ignorant (Zoharum)
Label Description: “Knowledge Has No Enemies But The Ignorant” is another joint release from the British band RAPOON and the American band PAS MUSIQUE. It’s arguably their best joint effort. It features thirteen longer compositions, totaling over two hours, filled with ambient structures, a psychedelic aura, and numerous improvised fragments. It seems the two gentlemen have found a common language, one based on years of experience in experimental music and revealing their shared roots and inspirations, which can undoubtedly be found on this double-disc album.
Evgeny Bylina – Accidental Meetings (Florina Cassettes)
Label Description:
“No knowledge of where gone from. Nor of how. Nor of whom. None of whence come to. Partly to. Nor of how. Nor of whom. None of anything. Save dimly of having come to. Partly to. With dread of being again. Partly again. Somewhere again. Somehow again. Someone again”.
From “Ceiling” (1981), by Samuel Beckett
What will you do when confronted with nothingness?
On his sophomore effort “Accidental Meetings”, Evgeny Bylina meditates on this existential question. The album was created by chance while working on another record. Drawing inspiration from the prose of Samuel Beckett, this two-track tape laments the past, echoing the sound of the dance floor with its long, carefully constructed pieces.
These ambient compositions exist only as distant memories of a joyful past. The harsh reality of the morning urges you to look into the abyss hidden in the ceiling or wall. In a way, it’s a hungover record, reflecting an emotional and physical state of decadence: blurry and tranquil, it inverts the surroundings in the liminal space for a while.
However, it’s not just a dream: the heaviness of the environment reminds us that the body is not an abstract concept, but part of the world. Is there any hope? Or are we barely supported by fleeting nostalgia? Listeners must find the answer for themselves.

Wormwood’s Heart – Synchronous Cycles Of Light (Zoharum)
Label Description:
The musicians of the WORMWOOD’S HEART project believe that time is the cyclical immensity of the self, and we are all the light that permeates this process.
“Synchronous Cycles of Light” is a material born from the need to explore sounds and the information they convey, as well as from observing the subtle interrelationships between culture (the human) and nature (the non-human). WORMWOOD’S HEART is inspired by synchronicity – the interaction of many people and events that became part of the creation of this album.
The musicians primarily aimed to highlight the full spectrum of experiences that make up their lives – from harmony and silence to moments of tension and uncertainty.
Driven by respect for the space in which their music is to resonate, they minimize it to its essential elements.
The album is an invitation to a shared experience of the multifaceted nature of life – its beauty, mystery, and contrasts.
The entire album was recorded at the Cierpienie Studio and its surroundings in Smarzyków in the summer of 2025.
WORMWOOD’S HEART – SYNCHRONOUS CYCLES OF LIGHT
Wormwood’s Heart are Piotr Ramlau and Marcel Gawinecki.
Synchronous Cycles of Light are Karolina Karpowicz, Daniel Górny, Marceli Dziurleja, Natalia Kozłowska, Etna, Smarzykowo,
and all the tiny synchronicities that made this album possible to emerge.
For a time, we looked at life — and life looked back at us.
Captured and recorded at Studio Cierpienie and its surroundings in Smarzykowo, in the middle of summer ’24.
Mix & Mastering: Marcel Gawinecki

Reid Karris – Cityscape in a Glass Sphere (Petroglyph Music)
Label Description:
This piece deals with reflected images, sounds and ideas and the perceptions thereof and how they echo
and compliment their real-life counterpoints.
The album consists of two tracks, each with compositional direction from the same score but in opposite
directions. These two tracks were then blended together, one forwards and one backwards for each
side, to create the two finished halves. The results are sounds occurring together moving forward while
their reflected sounds move backwards.
Reid Karris is an improvisor, composer and experimentalist residing in the Chicagoland area. He primarily
uses prepared guitars to explore sound creation and manipulation centering on extended and invented
techniques. Other than performing solo he regularly plays with his group Snek Trio and in various
settings with other musicians on prepared guitar, percussion, skatchboxes and homemade instruments.
As a solo artist he releases albums of conceptual composition using elements such as guitars,
percussion, manipulated field recordings and noise. He has released albums on Lurker Bias, Orb Tapes,
Ramble Records, Mother Brain Records, Pan Y Rosas Discos, and other independent experimental labels.
Scanner – Forces, Reactions, Deflections (quiet details)
Label Description:
Music by Robin Rimbaud
Mastered by Alex at quiet details studios
Artwork by quiet details in collaboration with Robin Rimbaud
Design by quiet details

Elated to welcome one of the most enduringly creative and boundary-pushing artists of the last few decades to quiet details, Robin Rimbaud, otherwise known as Scanner.
A towering figure in the worlds of music, sonic and visual art, dance, installation and a myriad of other disciplines – Robin has covered a huge amount of artistic ground since his earliest forays into our consciousness in 1991.
From countless albums and projects as a solo artist and in many collaborations, including the likes of Brian Ferry, Michale Nyman, Steve McQueen, Stella McCartney, Laurie Anderson and Hussein Chalayan, and Pauline Oliveros; to the first Sound Art commission at the Tate Modern London; scoring a dance piece for the UK Olympics; the list of his critically-acclaimed achievements goes on and on.
At the core of his work is always a deep curiosity, the ability to make cognitive leaps into the creative unknown and fashion something beautiful – it’s with this sense of wonder he’s made something truly incredible for quiet details.
The album is a stunning sonic exploration of the world around him, another fundamental element running through his work – realising the majesty contained within structures that has always been there, now brought to life.
As Robin says:
This album is forged entirely from the resonant clangs, echoes, and whispers of a stainless steel staircase at home, transforming everyday architecture into an unexpected orchestra.
By coaxing rhythm, tone, and atmosphere from the metallic body of a staircase, the work reimagines movement between floors as a passage through sound.
No synthesisers were used in the creation, only the natural sound of the staircase using a geophone seismic microphone and the gentle assistance of the occasional resonant filter and sample software.
This has led to an album of enveloping beauty – highly textured drones meet distant pulses; metallic fragments merge with hauntingly evocative melody. Physical architecture translated to harmonic structures in the most breathtaking way imaginable.
There’s so much to admire here – from the beauty of the original recordings to the highest level of craft to turn them into something so musically engaging – a true masterpiece from one of our finest artistic minds.
Huge thanks to Robin for being part of the series.
The artwork was made as always influenced by the music and idea behind the album – originating from a photo from Robin which was then captured with analogue photography and processed here at quiet details studios.
As usual, the album is presented on the physical edition, a custom six-panel digipack with a separate fine art print too.
The CD also has a special long-form continuous mix of the album, created by the artist and representing the music in its purest form.
