Mystery Circles
Bow and Arrow
arc rae
The new album from Berlin-based French musician arc rae grew out of a series of freely improvised recordings by cellist, vocalist, and composer Mathilde Vendramin. Captured in an open, unplanned state, her cello and voice became the raw material for a process of transformation: fragments selected, reshaped, layered, and reassembled into fully formed compositions.

Navin Kala
Navin Kala is an ambient musician who lives a life in the Brazilian countryside that's almost impossible to believe even when you're looking right at it on his Instagram: rain dripping from palms and banana trees, mangoes dropping into his hands, chickens and dogs running free, and in the middle of it all, a home music studio filled with classic synths and acoustic instruments and a Fender Rhodes he rebuilt top to bottom. His new release on Mystery Circles, Spinoza, is his seventh full-length since 2020. Part of what makes it so beautiful is how much of the world beyond the studio doors Navin lets in. He graciously joined me for a conversation about rural life, isolation, and inspiration, creativity in the internet age, and how an 18th-century Spanish philosopher inspired his new album.
