About this release

Artists Pavel Doronin
Release Date 27-11-2026
Cat. No. SWIM20
Format Vinyl LP
Style Ambient, Electronic

On his debut album, Genius Loci, London-based producer Pavel Doronin combines modular electronics with theremin, saxophone and a rich array of field recordings, mapping out a psychogeography that criss-crosses from the Bavarian banks of the Danube to the Irish Sea and back again.

Doronin's breadcrumb trail suggests an urban drift from tennis court to medieval gate, eroded signs and municipal heraldry caught in relief like hallucinatory wax rubbings. Soaring melodies (courtesy of guests Grégoire Blanc, Oskar Jones and June Kuhn) are underpinned by a delicious clutter of kitchen sink percussion - each element leaving indentations in the mind, like footfall nestling in timeworn steps and pathways.

Recommended if you like Matthew Herbert, Nicolas Jaar, Harold Budd.
