Obsidian Mountain Quest
Good day to you listeners, wherever you are. This is Trevor.
Welcome to one of these spontaneous episodes – music from all over the world, sparked by a single track that appears somewhere inside the set. This episode titled Obsidian Mountain Quest is based on the track “dreamt i was born on a mountain” by “anthéne”, from the album “Air Signs” , which comes out on May 22 via channel supporting label DRONARIVM. All the other tracks happened to just fit the vibe.

So settle in, turn it up a bit if you can, and let’s see where it takes us. I hope you enjoy it.
No breaks, just the music.
00:00:00 Ali Wade – Xenophyophore
Deep, organic ambient exploring the mysterious world of xenophyophores—giant single-celled deep-sea organisms. Subtle, textural layers and slow geological movement create an alien yet immersive underwater atmosphere.
00:05:03 Tom Eaton – Before Obsidian(from Elements-Fire)
Warm, glowing ambient with rich, fiery undertones. Slow-burning pads and subtle melodic embers evoke the transformative power of fire and the moments just before intense change.
00:14:05 Martin Allin – Learning Is Remembering
Reflective, philosophical ambient built on gentle, evolving textures. A contemplative piece that feels like rediscovering forgotten knowledge through soft, unfolding soundscapes.
00:20:01 OGRE Sound – Insects That Haunted As Well As Fed
Atmospheric, narrative-driven ambient with a slightly dark, cinematic edge. Evokes the dual nature of nature—beauty and unease—through intricate, haunting textures.
00:23:33 jarguna – Soul of Ganga (with Lorenzo Squillari)
Spiritual, flowing ambient inspired by the sacred Ganges River. Deep drones, watery textures, and meditative atmospheres capture both serenity and ancient power.
00:32:40 arovane – youd
Delicate, intricate IDM-tinged ambient from Uwe Zahn. Microscopic details, glitchy fragments, and warm melodic threads create a beautifully fragile, polymer-like sound world.
00:37:07 Christophe Bailleau – Katpur (with Paradise Now)
Mysterious, moonlit ambient with subtle rhythmic undercurrents. Ethereal and slightly ritualistic, it drifts through nocturnal, vertical phases of sound.
00:39:05 Roderick Shoolbraid – Nonagon
Geometric, hypnotic ambient built around nine-sided symmetry. Clean, precise layers and evolving patterns create a sense of sacred geometry in sound.
00:43:01 Desprecio Nauseabundo – Desperate Loss of Material Things & its Obsessive Consequences
Dark, experimental ambient exploring obsession and loss. Dense, unsettling textures and collapsing structures form a psychological, noise-tinged descent.
00:52:07 Coco Francavilla – The Stars Dance in Circles
Celestial, dreamy ambient with graceful, orbiting movements. Shimmering synths and cosmic elegance evoke stars in eternal, circular motion.
00:54:48 Everyday Dust – Oblivione X
Vast, foghorn-laden landscape ambient. Immersive and cinematic, it paints forgotten valleys and distant, echoing oblivion.
01:03:32 Sebby Kowal – Shinjuku
Urban, nocturnal ambient capturing the electric pulse of Tokyo’s Shinjuku district. Neon reflections and bustling stillness blend into a moody, atmospheric portrait.
01:07:52 anthéne – dreamt i was born on a mountain
Light, airy guitar-based ambient from the Air Signs album. Gentle loops, swells, and natural textures evoke mountain-born freedom and wide-open skies.
01:13:48 Letters From Mouse – Quest Affric
Analogue-driven Scottish ambient with bubbling synths and exploratory spirit. A quest-like journey through misty, engrammatic landscapes.
