Stasis Report ✚ Rachel Grimes, Reznor, Noveller, Rushton, Hopkins, Barbieri

New tracks added to the ambient Spotify playlist

The latest update to my [Stasis Report ambient-music playlist on Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/user/dsqt/playlist/1YhR54cjP640J92AOxaoel?si=kDLQAGomSnKEqaMTBllKvg) adds the following tracks:

✚ Two of the more sedate cues (“Morning Fires,” “I Do What I Love”) from Rachel Grimes’ score to the film *The Doctor from India*, a documentary directed by Jeremy Frindel. The soundtrack was released on May 18: [rachelgrimes.bandcamp.com](https://rachelgrimes.bandcamp.com/album/the-doctor-from-india-original-motion-picture-soundtrack). In addition to Grimes’ piano and sound design, the album credits Jacob Duncan with saxophone and flute, and Scott Moore with violin. Rachel Grimes is a founding member of the chamber-rock group Rachel’s.

✚ “Media” from Mark Rushton’s 2018 collection *The Variations*. Rushton is based in Iowa City, Iowa, and maintains an excellent podcast of his ambient music: [ambient.libsyn.com](http://ambient.libsyn.com).

✚ “TCCTF” from Caterina Barbieri’s April 2017 album, *Patterns of Consciousness*. She’s released at least three sets since then. This, however, is the most recent on Spotify.

✚ “The Unveiling” by Noveller, aka Brooklyn-based guitarist and filmmaker Sarah Lipstate, off the 2017 album *A Pink Sunset for No One*. She’s subsequently released a live album, *Live at Dockside*, however this is the most recent one on Spotify.

✚ Jon Hopkins’ “Echo Dissolve,” off his *Singularity*, released May 4: [jonhopkins.bandcamp.com](https://jonhopkins.bandcamp.com/album/singularity]).

✚ “Torn Polaroid” from the score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross of Nine Inch Nails for the documentary *The Vietnam War* by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick: [nin.com](http://www.nin.com/two-soundtrack-releases-accompany-ken-burns-lynn-novick-film-vietnam-war/). Nine Inch Nails released an album on Friday, June 22, titled *Bad Witch*, none of which would make particular sense in an ambient playlist.

Some previous [Stasis Report](https://open.spotify.com/user/dsqt/playlist/1YhR54cjP640J92AOxaoel?si=kDLQAGomSnKEqaMTBllKvg) tracks were removed to make room for these, keeping the playlist length to roughly an hour and a half. Those tracks are now in the [Stasis Archives](https://open.spotify.com/user/dsqt/playlist/7wQclXEfiEJ20KNIONJXGw?si=5RmtEbbSQcKNbK1ho2Vyog) playlist.
