Marielle V Jakobsons - The Patterns Lost to Air (2026)

California-based artist Marielle V Jakobsons has never been posted about on this blog, even though I highly value her previous album, 2016's Star Core. It makes it extremely interesting as what finally brought her here is an album marked by the notion of change and leaving one's comfort zone, which includes the change of the music itself.

The Patterns Lost to Air is a collection of lively soundscapes filled with glimmering electronica and wild, ellusive sounds. When I listen to this kind of ambient, I always picture a meadow on a warm, summer day. Life everywhere, even if not visible at first. It's hard to believe that Jakobsons' best works so far have been droney and dark neoclassical/electronic pieces. It's like the same place seen at night: both beautiful, both showing similar shapes, but inherently very different. And perhaps this is what I like about this album so much: it's a proof that change can be good, especially when you change from beautiful to beautiful. 

The Patterns Lost to Air costs 10 USD.
