Scattered Light's newest album, Unfurl, was made to capture the feeling of being isolated in the wild. Not afraid or lost, but quite the opposite: at peace in nature, soaking in all of the outdoor elements. Finding oneself while being one with one's surroundings.

The LP is an eight song deep dive into the comforts of the woods. Rushing streams, scenic cliff sides, vibrant canopies, and quiet fields. At nearly an hour in length, this meditative ambient album is as soothing and calming as they come.

Using a combination of reel-to-reel recordings, granular synths, and layered instrumentation, Scattered Light masterfully paints pictures through his immersive soundscapes. The opening track "Mist" feels like waking up with the dawn and soaking in the newborn rays of sun, while the closing track "Fade" feels like watching the sunset from a panoramic vista and noticing the world growing more silent. From start to finish, this album feels like a single day. Sunrise to sunset. Dawn to dusk.

In the words of Scattered Light's own bio, the end result of his sound can often feel like "repeating fragments of some long-forgotten broadcast station." Like unearthing distant memories. Like digging a hole in a national park and finding an old box of cassettes.

Using a combination of reel-to-reel recording, granular synthesis, and instrumentation from piano, guitar, and synthesisers, Scattered Light creates meditative soundscapes that loop and layer over themselves - repeating fragments of some long-forgotten broadcast station.
