In the Pasture of Obsolete Suns

Tyler Pursel

On In the Pasture of Obsolete Suns, Philadelphia-based experimental musician and visual artist Tyler Pursel turns decay into atmosphere. Built from sampling, synthesis, organic texture, and unstable generative forms, the album moves through a landscape where memory, technology, and ecology seem to collapse into one another - half ruin, half refuge.

Interview

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.
