Melting World: Winter Solstice – The Long Night 2025

On December 21, from midnight to 5:00 a.m., we mark the Winter Solstice with long-form ambient soundscapes.

We will feature sounds made for stargazing under winter skies, cold winds moving through tall evergreens, snow falling deep in the forest, and ice slowly forming on still water.

Featuring music from Mathias Grassow; Wintersilence & Nuur; Jaja (Germany); Aglaia (Italy); Hiemal (France); Dirk Serries – Stream of Consciousness (Belgium); Lustmord; Mick Harris (UK); Steve Roach; Kelly David; and Robert Rich (USA).

We hope to see you in the Melting World this week as we explore electronic sounds that escape traditional musical form.
