@__halfie__ ‘s thoughtful reflection on Amor Fati, @near.stoic ’s latest album. Thank you, Anushka, for sharing these words. Original text written in Georgian: Amor Fati არ ჟღერს როგორც ფილოსოფიური დოგმა, არამედ როგორც პირადი , ჩუმი თანხმობა საკუთარ ცხოვრებაზე. თავიდან რომ წავიკითხე სახელი და დამაინტერესა თარგმანმა მივხვდი რომ მუსიკა რომელიც ბედის სიყვარულზე აუცილებლად მელანქოლიური იქნებოდა . ჩემი საყვარელი ნაწარმოებია Joyful Melodies For Mom. ულამაზესი მელოდია ყურში ჩამრჩა და მივხვდი რომ მთელი ალბომი ჟღერს როგორც ერთი დიდი დღიური , რაღაც მნიშვენლობის მქონე დღეებს რომ იტევს მხოლოდ. ხმები რომლებიც მეხსიერებას ეხება, ყოველთვის მიმზიდველია, ისე როგორც Boards Of Canada ან Casion Versus Japan. ცოცხალი დრამები, ელექტრონული ტექსტურების გათამაშებით, ალბომს ადამიანურ პულსს უწევს. ტრეკების დასახელებები თითქოს ინსტინქტურად არის დატვირთული - როგორც იმ თავებიდან ყოფილიყო შექმნილი, სანამ თავად მუსიკა დაიბადა. პირველი ნოტიდანვე ცხადია, რომ ეს ალბომი პერსონალური და გულწრფელია - არა მხოლოდ ხმა და სტილი, არამედ განცდა, რომელიც სმენას წინ უსწრებს.

Amor Fati, by @near.stoic , is out on Uncloud Editions! The nine-track album, releasing as UE002, is an eclectic adventure through the spectrum of electronic music but also an exploration of a profound shift in the artist's relationship with the sensation of feeling. The album is an ode to love in all its forms: the intoxicating uncertainty of romance, the unwavering devotion of family, the power of new friendships and the complex beauty found in accepting life's inevitable losses. It is a meditation on presence, grief, and the courage required to feel deeply in an often overwhelming world. The release is available on limited edition splatter vinyl, digital format and as a handcast, abstract, metallic ring. Multidisciplinary artist @alinnatikhonova created a physical extension of the album’s universe, inspired by a Tunisian Machmoum, a silver-and-amber floral relic from Near Stoic’s personal memories. The abstract structure, that is casted in tin on a stainless-steel ring, serves as a physical artifact that bridges the gap between sound and sculptural art. Orders are now available through our Bandcamp page. You can also head over there to listen to the nine tracks of the album and have a look at the various formats . If you are not able to pre-order through Bandcamp for any reason, please drop us a message, we will get the release to you. #electronica #album #vinyl

« [...] a poignant reminder that the most difficult love to cultivate can be that referenced by the album's title - the love of fate. » Near Stoic’s Amor Fati reviewed on Electronic Sound @electronicsoundmag , issue 133. Thank you Bob Fischer @hauntedgeneration for the special words. Album’s pre-orders are available on bandcamp. Link in bio!

[Artist announcement] We are glad to announce @near.stoic as the upcoming releasing artist on Uncloud Editions! Near Stoic is the alias of Tunisian, Paris-based composer and producer Skander Ben Yahia, whose work explores emotion and cinematic storytelling through ambient electronica. Merging field recordings, personal audio artifacts, and analog/digital synthesizers, Near Stoic creates immersive atmospheres for both intimate listening and multi-speaker systems. His debut Notebook (Thoughts & Short Stories) (@third_kind_records , UK, 2021) was praised as "eclectic and soothing" by Bob Fischer ( @hauntedgeneration ) on Electronic Sound, while 2023's Metamorphosis EP (@gatedrecordings , UK) expanded into more complex dreamlike soundscapes and rhythmic elements. His track "Blossom" was featured on @airtexture 's environmental compilation "Place: Tunisia," curated by @ziedmeddebhamrouni and @azu.tiwaline . Near Stoic's forthcoming 2026 album Amor Fati promises to further explore themes of self-reflection and emotional acceptance through his signature cinematic lens.

𝙽𝚎𝚊𝚛 𝚂𝚝𝚘𝚒𝚌 - 𝙰𝚖𝚘𝚛 𝙵𝚊𝚝𝚒 We are thrilled to announce the launch of pre-orders for our next release Uncloud Editions 002. Amor Fati embodies both artistic maturation and emotional vulnerability, in equal measure. The nine-track album, arriving January 30th, 2026 via Uncloud Editions, is Near Stoic’s exploration of a profound shift in his relationship with the feeling of feeling itself. The discovery that expressing love and emotion freely is not only acceptable, but beautiful and deeply human. The album's visual identity, developed by Alina Tikhonova, uses various material from Near Stoic’s life. For the album cover, she merges an old photograph from the artist's grandparents' vacation house with textures from their Tunis home wall, which she digitally recreated from pictures. These were spaces where family gathered and where many of the album's emotional foundations took root. The 12" Splatter Vinyl features a tricolour burst pattern following the album artwork's colour palette. Multidisciplinary artist Alina Tikhonova created a physical extension of the album’s universe, inspired by a Tunisian Machmoum, a silver-and-amber floral relic from Near Stoic’s personal memory. The abstract structure, that is casted in tin on a stainless-steel ring, serves as a physical artifact that bridges the gap between sound and tactile art. Pre-orders are now available through our Bandcamp page. You can also head over there to listen to one of the seven tracks of the album and have a look at the various formats.

Soon... UE002 is coming to you. 👀 @near.stoic @alinnatikhonova #electronicmusic #experimental #vinyl

As part of our ongoing series “Artists in Conversation”, we are pleased to share a conversation between @skanderjaibi and @hans.schuttenbeld , centred on Skander’s debut album Who has the right to closure? and its booklet featuring eight selected paintings by Hans. From the origins of the project to its sources of inspiration, to interdisciplinary collaboration, and a poem by Hans, this exchange offers a reflection on the album, the world we inhabit, and what lies beyond.
