Scottish-Portuguese sound artist and producer Shhe releases her new album Thalassa, a six-part ambient work that gives voice to the Mediterranean Sea at a moment of ecological, political, and existential crisis. Balancing introspection with political urgency, Thalassa is an immersive body of work, one that listens closely, and asks how we might learn to do the same. Sonically, Thalassa is a minimal, immersive ambient journey, where breath, voice, and modular synthesis intertwine to create a meditative yet urgent soundscape.Fans of Biosphere, William Basinski, Fennesz, and other exploratory electronic artists will find much to connect with. Pressed in Scotland on eco-friendly bio-vinyl, with exclusive artwork by Alexandria-born artist Aya Tarek that reflects the reflective, layered depths of the sea. With no digital shortcuts, the record offers a tactile, contemplative listening experience that mirrors its conceptual focus on water, ecology, and transformation.
