Viennese ambient voyager Wolfgang Lehmann returns with a lush, hushed, electro-acoustic suite of fantastical landscapes: Inverted Land. Crafted in collaboration with his partner Beate, and heavily inspired by a recently acquired marimba, the album unfolds in tactile, time-lapse panoramas of gradient color, spatial illusion, and changing light. The arrangements echo the cosmic vistas of Lehmann’s debut, Secret Earth, but the interplay of VF in duo mode skews more veiled and telekinetic. Twilit silhouettes ebb and flow from a delicate palette of resonance and shadow, attuned to the subcurrents of remote utopias long since reclaimed by nature’s undertow.

Wolfgang Lehmann’s second album of VF’s latest creative cycle leans further into the project’s eclectic acoustic inclinations, arriving at a sound between balearic and kaleidoscopic, progressive and primordial: enter the Unseen Portal. Contributions from his partner Beate Lehmann and brass multi-instrumentalist Alex Kranabetter expand the album’s textural and emotional range, venturing through jazzy lunar fusion (“Moonrise”), 4th world frontiers (“Ancient Treescape”), northern lights new age (“Lost Memory”), and cloud forest downtempo (“Topographic Change”). Like the title makes clear, this is elusive, transportive music, 10 shimmering gateways to hybrid habitats of rhythm, reverie, and refracted magic.

Voyage Futur’s second collection of 2023 broadcasts its muse of eternal flux in the title: In Constant Change. A shape-shifting suite of glitches, loops, vignettes, and visions, the pieces diverge and converge in hybrid states of open horizon drift, memory synth, and oblique exotica. Relaxed but restless, idyllic yet immaterial, it’s the sound of kaleidoscopic hearts and lingering dreams, glimpsed against a backdrop of deepening blue.

The past works of Viennese world-builder Voyage Futur have mapped places (Secret Earth), spaces (Inner Sphere), and phenomenon (Virtual Moonlight), but their latest zooms out and up for a sky’s eye view of planetary fantasy: Wellen. German for ‘waves,’ the album’s 12 tracks ebb and flow in cinematic tides of mandala electronics, utopian fusion, and elevated ambience, shaded in gradients of DX7. Voices, mallets, strings, and bass slide and stretch like liquid plastics, tracing liminal landscapes of sunset shores under pixelated stars. It’s music both lush and lost in time, remote but rapturous, lit by the warmth of futures passed.
