Federico Sauter's debut album "Lockdown Diaries: Ambient Works for Subharmonicon" is out now through Petite Victory Collective.

Recorded back in early 2021 and composed only years later, the album is an intimate portrait of the hopelessness of confinement during the long winter months of the pandemic Lockdown. It's the tale of the Sunday walks to the top of the flak tower at Humboldthain —an escape from self-isolation that feels like breathing through one's eyes.

The album created with the Moog Subharmonicon is a masterclass in ambient and intimate soundscapes. Federico expertly weaves together the rich, analog tones of the Subharmonicon to create a sonic journey that is both immersive and introspective. The album is a testament to the versatility of the Subharmonicon, as it effortlessly transitions between warm, pulsating rhythms and ethereal, otherworldly textures.

The artist's skillful use of the Subharmonicon's unique capabilities, such as its subharmonic and polyrhythmic features, adds depth and complexity to the album's sound. At times haunting and melancholic, at others serene and uplifting, this album is a beautiful exploration of the emotional range that can be achieved through the use of electronic instruments.

The intimacy of the album invites the listener to fully immerse themselves in the sonic landscape and lose themselves in its ethereal beauty. Overall, this ambient, intimate album is a must-listen for fans of electronic music, and a testament to the incredible creative potential of the Moog Subharmonicon and the man behind it.

Don’t be a stranger.
