British producer Aniderev, whose four-year retreat in the forests of Yosemite National Park became something of a sonic laboratory, has released a track that balances between the physical reality of electronic waves and the abstraction of cosmic space.

Yosemite is an important detail. When an artist spends years in isolation, surrounded by sequoias and granite formations, experimenting with frequencies and oscillations, the music absorbs this geological unhurriedness. Nebular consists precisely of this—temporal elongation. The track unfolds as a process, and process is what contemporary electronics often lacks, where everything is compressed into pragmatic three-to-four-minute club time. Here, time works differently. Aniderev constructs sound like an architect, and the listener becomes a wanderer inside this construction.

The ambient foundation of the track is built with an almost textile softness. This is sound that envelops, creating an illusion of weightlessness, though beneath the surface an electronic rhythm constantly pulsates. This contrast—between organic fluidity and digital structure—constitutes the dramaturgy of Nebular. Aniderev works with contradictions: softness against hardness, chaos against order, the earthly against the celestial.

When the producer declares inspiration from “the mysticism of invisible worlds,” this might sound like an esoteric cliché, but Nebular materializes this idea through the sound design itself.

Nebular provokes synesthesia: sound transforms. The meditative potential of the composition is evident, but to call it “meditation music” would be to reduce it to functionality. Aniderev constructs an experience where the listener loses orientation in time and space.

For a listener tired of smooth, polished electronics, where everything is predictable and safe, Nebular offers an alternative. Aniderev demonstrates that ambient and experimental electronics can be simultaneously intellectually saturated. And I appreciate that Nebular is the work of an artist who understands that sound is also a form of architecture, and builds his structures with patience and precision. Recommended! For those seeking electronic music capable of expanding the boundaries of perception, this track is convincing proof that such music exists and is being created right now.
