Pop Ambient 2027

In this 27th edition of Pop Ambient, Kompakt feature some of our loyal regulars and occasional guests in new collaborations, including Pass Into Silence with Lukas Schäfer, Jörg Burger with Gregor Schwellenbach, and Joachim Spieth with Andrew Thomas. Also joining us are Reich und Würden, Leandro Fresco and Thore Pfeiffer, as well as Blank Gloss, Ümit Han, Segensklang and - making their second appearance - Hendrik Meyer and oskø.

Returning after a long absence are Kenneth James Gibson and curator Wolfgang Voigt, this time as Silver Machine. A notable new addition is Cologne-based artist Christian Iparraguirre, also known as IPI. A very special contribution comes from classical ensemble Ahn Trio from South Korea, in the form of the Mikkel Metal Mix of their cover of Michael Nyman's “Time Lapse”, a piece made famous by the Peter Greenaway film The Draughtsman's Contract.

Last but not least, the stunning cover art by Veronika Unland is almost like an indispensable visual 'bonus track' for the eyes.
