When we recorded ATOLLS, we sent these tracks back and forth between each other, with the Music slowly growing in our midst. As a metaphoric resemblance of that process, ATOLLS special edition 2-LP + MC + prints comes housed in a shipping box. This box is part of the actual artwork. DON'T THROW IT AWAY!! In case you already have, I have you covered :)

This album is a celebration of curiosity and trust.
During 2020 and 2021 I composed numerous pieces in my studio - poured my heart and soul out to music in challenging times. I sent these improvisations to other musicians whom I trusted. No instruction given but to record only one take, following their intuition.
"Composing is just putting the right people in the right place." - John Zorn
The right people were in the right place. This odd situation of not-being-together created a powerful mediated togetherness; opened spaces for the sceneries, meditations, musical paintings, outbursts, contemplations of this album - Atolls of human beings expressing themselves through music in times of separation. This album unites 5 of these comforting and wild territories - in an adventurous piece of art that funnels our curious approach in music into visible form - driven by the spirit of music.
Enjoy the ride,
Malo
This album is dedicated to my grandmother who was the most curious listener I ever knew. And to my dear friend Ariella who trusted my musical self long before I did.

Malo Moray & His Inflatable Knee is the experimental ambient collective founded in 2020 by Leipzig based upright
bassist/multiinstrumentalist/concept artist Martin ‘Malo’ Riebel, leading a playfully spacious search for immersion through free improvisation inspired by the cosmos, nature and obsolete sounds; mostly compared to the avant-garde works of Brian Eno, Sunn O))), Swans or Faust....more
Oh No Noh is definitely one of the most inspiring people I know. The experimental approach to his work culminates in pieces of simple beauty, easy to access, never plain. Love every note Markus plays! Malo Moray & His Inflatable Knee
Kikagaku Moyo are one of my favorite bands! Their immersive stream of music is mindblowing. Especially on this album, which always has been a great reminder to me how easy improvised music can be. Malo Moray & His Inflatable Knee
With Jim Jarmush & Marc Urselli one of my favorite artists & most def my most favorite sound engineer to work with collaborate. This album is nothing but dark and stunning with a mindblowing sound! Malo Moray & His Inflatable Knee
I normally only listen to electronic music, but after listening to this album months ago I found it kept calling out to me. Now after purchasing it I can see why. I am totally addicted to its beauty and harmony. Thank you so much for the wax version, as it is the only form of music I collect. kaosskid
In the music of Paul Jordan, digitally manipulated field recordings become striking electronic songs that feel eerie and surreal. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 7, 2020
