Cairn
In Cairn, Düngfelder’s focus on atmosphere and perception meets Beaudoin’s concern with time and memory, creating a dialogue where each sound becomes a trace left for the other to follow. What remains is a series of sonic markers, small monuments to attention, letting listeners linger on in the fragile continuations of sound.

Paul Beaudoin + Ümlaut
For Paul Beaudoin, sound unfolds like thought taking shape in time. His work traces the thresholds between hearing and remembering, where tones blur and stillness collapses into the echo of memory. Drawing from acoustic and electronic sources, he builds soundscapes that encourage the listener to sense how meaning gathers and disintegrates through the act of listening. Each piece offers a quiet architecture of concentration, inviting us to dwell within the fragile persistence of sound.
In Ümlaut's (aka Jeff Düngfelder) work, textures rarely stop, they linger. Layers of field recordings and electronic atmospheres drift and fuse until motion becomes still. His compositions observe how the world hums beneath its surface: wind caught in wires, the grain of passing air, a memory replayed through static. Working from a minimal palette, he shapes textures that feel both intimate and vast, allowing listeners to encounter a landscape where everything moves, yet nothing hurries. Each piece is a quiet act of attention, an instance of noticing before it dissolves into distance.
