A selection of works from Affin, released between 2022 and 2026.

Over time, a distinct sense of space has emerged - shaped by slower movement, extended forms and a shared sensitivity for detail. Many of the artists gathered here have crossed paths repeatedly, forming quiet connections that continue to evolve across releases.

Rather than following a linear narrative, the mix unfolds as a continuous passage, where transitions remain subtle and boundaries dissolve.

It captures a phase defined less by individual moments and more by their relationships - a field of sound that expands gradually and invites sustained listening.

Compiled and mixed by Joachim Spieth.

This piece emerged during preparations for a live set. It is composed of fragmented elements drawn from various previously released tracks, intricately interwoven and transformed through a series of modulators evolving over time. While certain passages may sound familiar, the result is not a “version” of any existing work, but rather a hybrid composition — a fusion of multiple fragments recontextualized into a new and autonomous form.

Two and a half years after the last compilation, Joachim Spieth presents the fourth ‘Textures’ sound library.

You will find a mixture of wide pads, drones and experiments that will serve as a starting point for your own sound creations. The samples are available in 48 kHz / 24 bit resolution.

Textures 4 is the result of Spieth's experience gained over the last few years with several album productions, collaborations and live performances.

All the sounds included were produced exclusively for this sound library.

This piece was performed by me last year in Wrocław, Poland. I was invited there as part of the annual Ambientalny Festival. Along with some video snippets from the performance, I wanted to share a few excerpts of what took place. These will soon be available for download as a "subscriber-only" release in my Bandcamp store. Feel free to check it out—I will be activating the "subscription" feature soon.

This sound library is the third part of my "Textures" series, which was created in the first half of 2022.

In terms of sound, the edition offers comprehensive and richly layered soundscapes and wavelike harmonic surfaces that move expressively between the poles. All included sounds were produced for this sound library and have not been used on any of my releases before.

[Sound Library 2 - sound example snippet]

I recently completed the second sound library in my "Textures" series. This one acts as an acoustic canvas and prepares an interesting sound rich base to design different acoustic projections.

All of the included sounds I created specifically for this sound pack and have not appeared or been used anywhere else.

The sound library will soon be available exclusively through my Bandcamp store. More details will follow soon.

"Textures” is a sound library that I've created during Winter 2021. It is a carefully selected collection of cinematic and evolving sounds that can be easily incorporated into your work, but they are primarily intended as a starting point for your own creative process like a painter's palette of colors. All included sounds were produced for this sound library and have not been used on any of my releases before.
