Originally released in 2017 as a double 12", *Irradiance* marked Joachim Spieth’s debut full-length album on his own imprint Affin. The work reflects a cycle of realignment, unfolding as a carefully composed emotional journey. Constant motion through the layers of sound shapes its sonic landscape, while evolving atmospheres evoke cohesion and subtle glimpses of optimism.

Following two vinyl pressings, the album was reissued in 2023 as a CD edition presented in a 6-panel digipak.

Press reactions:

“The German composer created beautiful and epic music, skillfully combining the power of techno with the calming atmosphere of the atmosphere." - "Nowamuzyka"

“Spieth moves between contemplative ambient and deep techno, including the genre-typical soundscape layers, with such craftsmanship that body and mind are satisfied in perfect balance.” - "Groove"
