I redesigned Opus’ logo because I wanted to make my website faster. Did it work?

Websites can never be too fast, which means that website images can never be too small.

A fantastic point of entry into the career of one of ambient music’s most distinctive and prolific voices.

Irezumi crafts ambient soundscapes with such elegance that they never feel insufferable or too consumed by their own gloom.

I’m almost forty but the part of me that’s still an awkward, music-obsessed sixteen-year-old is absolutely loving this.

These songs may not have been in my top picks but they still deserve notice in their own right.

Sleepy trip-hop, atmospheric indie-electronic, religious experimental folk, harrowing post-punk/EBM, mournful folk & experimental electronic rock.

Incendiary hip-hop, soaring shoegaze, aggressive indie-rock, poignant synth-wave, thought-provoking emo & atmospheric rock.

Soulful hip-hop, lo-fi psychedelia, ambient dub, soaring electronic pop, abstract electronica, and otherworldly neo-folk.

The first Ester Drang song in nearly a decade will be released in February 2016.

Ominous ambience, funky hip-hop, pan-global instrumentals, crushing electronica, elegant post-punk, and forlorn post-rock.
