within remoteness

4 track album, released May 22, 2026 as free (cc) digital download and in limited audio cassette edition. In the quiet topography of contemporary drone music, a collaboration has formed across national borders that seems as logical as it is poetic: German ambient and drone musician rsn and Swedish sound artist Andreas Rönnquist present “with remoteness”, a joint album that explores the dialogue between two aesthetic styles in four extended pieces. The title says it all. “Remoteness” describes not only the geographical distance between the participants, but also the ethereal sphere in which their music moves. The fact that “within remoteness” develops a remarkable presence despite its restraint is due in no small part to the mix by Ghostloop, who is considered a fixture on the ambient scene. With a sure sense of depth and transparency, he balances the layers, gives the drones room to breathe, and lends even the quietest nuances a tangible physicality. The album thus becomes a finely balanced sound space in which distance and proximity, isolation and resonance meet. “within remoteness” is therefore not only a joint work by two artists, but also a study of how connection can arise from distance – quiet, concentrated, and with a meditative intensity that lingers long after listening.
