I’m a huge, huge fan of Abul’s music. Before our collaboration, we had no prior connection, which made reaching out to him feel daunting. I was elated when he replied and agreed to work on a collaborative track. Despite the initial uncertainty, the collaboration turned out to be incredibly rewarding, and I am thrilled with the outcome. – Markus Guentner<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Checking the blog tag<\/a> for Abul Mogard<\/em> on the site reveals a wealth of mentions and mixes spanning several years. Guido\u2019s music has played a significant role in shaping my taste, and, alongside a few select others, he\u2019s been instrumental in fostering my appreciation for more powerful ambient music (see the Portals: Power Ambient<\/a> feature). There was a time when I engaged in countless debates about Abul\u2019s identity, which remained a mystery for many years, making him the ambient scene\u2019s equivalent of Burial\u2014before Burial ventured into ambient, of course.<\/em> Now that his identity is no longer a secret, Guido has been relentless in honing his distinctive style through live performances and collaborations. One of his more recent releases, in collaboration with Rafael Anton Irisarri<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> is particularly noteworthy. The album\u2019s title has never made more sense after experiencing it in full. The intricate details, combined with the music\u2019s vastness and intimacy, are nothing short of awe-inspiring.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
