The second release from Ojas Music—Elyria Sound is a solo guitar album from Michael A. Muller, recorded and mixed via analog tape during a winter storm. Each piece was captured live in single passes to a one-inch tape machine, the most direct path from fingertip to magnetic oxide. Elyria Sound was developed with experimental guitar tunings, yielding a relearning the instrument’s language. The outcome moves between lullaby and lament: spare, cyclical compositions where motifs recur at differing angles and tempos, variations on a central thread. Recorded and mixed by the multi Grammy award-winning engineer Jonathan Low, the album was mastered to tape with lacquer cut in Germany by Frederic Stader. The release partners with The Vinyl Factory; plated and pressed at the former-EMI plant on the outskirts of London. Hi-Res streaming, download, limited deluxe vinyl, CD and reel-to-reel tapes available via link in bio. Thank you for your patient ear, M Artwork @finessedobson Studio Photos @eastdillonradio

Grateful to Apple Music for spotlighting the craft behind these releases. This playlist spans 16 years of engineering and mixing - already a lifetime of memories packed into these songs. Have a listen and add it to the rotation. Link in bio. Thanks @applemusic and @schwizza for having me alongside such great folks. #BehindTheSongs

Listen now // ATTUNED (Vol. 8) We’re delighted to share the eighth volume of our playlist series Attuned, curated for this winter season by multi-Grammy Award–winning engineer, mixer, and producer, @heyjonlow . Jonathan’s work has been built around helping artists articulate what they sense but can’t yet name: shaping sound so it can hold a specific time, place, and emotional temperature. Years of moving between genres have trained his ear toward intention and the subtle interplay between space, silence, and expression. This playlist reflects how Jonathan’s listening shifts in winter. Let it live as a companion for quieter rooms, shorter days, and sound that knows how to wait. Vol. 8 is now live through the Antica Terra Spotify—stream on through the link in our profile and Highlight, above. And as an accompaniment to listening, we invite you to visit our Substack where we’ve published a special Beauty School conversation with Jonathan. Photos: Courtesy of Jonathan Low, @makingdept .

Caught this delicate moment yesterday where we were deep in the sounds of a vibe with our longtime producer Jon Low and the brilliiant singer songwriter Kate Stables. Kinda feels like conjuring somehow. Can't wait to share this record of old faves from @thisisthekit and new pieces from our collaboration. And thx @bam_brooklyn for bringing us all together last May - when we were work together great things can happen.

“Rectangles and Circumstance” won a Grammy for best Chamber Music / Small Ensemble Performance. I count myself lucky to make music with extraordinary artists across many genres - it’s a rare and beautiful thing to collaborate so freely and for the work to be acknowledged in this way is humbling to say the least. I’m always in awe of the boundary-pushing work of @carolineadelaideshaw and @sopercussion . Here’s to more music ahead. Many brilliant and dedicated folks collaborated on this record. Much love and appreciation to: @ericbradleychabeach @joshuaquillen @adamsliwinski79 @jasontreuting @dannileep @ringdownmusic @_mpoirier @joshbonati @guilfordsound @bigmercysound @vanpeltmanagement @nonesuchrecords @recordingacademy

Last year I traveled to a desolate corner of the sea coast of England, set up a studio, all to work with an artist I had never met. What came of that is Subtract (-) by @teddysphotos . The gravity of life dictated what would become a cathartic and intimate collaboration. 🙏🏻 to Ed for taking us all on a journey with you. Produced by @aarondessner Recorded and mixed by me

“Sahar” by @taminoamir is out today. Thanks for having me play a small role on this brilliant album. @pieterjanmaertens and @jofrancken crafted some beautiful worlds and textures while maintaining an epic sense of space. Some of my favorite moments I’ve had the pleasure of mixing happen in “You Don’t Own Me” and “My Dearest Friend and Enemy”
