The latest update to my Stasis Report ambient-music playlist. It started out just on on [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/user/dsqt/playlist/1YhR54cjP640J92AOxaoel?si=kDLQAGomSnKEqaMTBllKvg). As of last week, it’s also on [Google Play Music](https://play.google.com/music/playlist/AMaBXylvMU-QFhCR1_vMgMgwndCq6WD-bq1MPNrUfZ9zXbCPE5IGbMj8aWwsLhjdTtH0QbKDa5dZkKizJ2pUmTHJ4Ib9Ws1_5A%3D%3D). The following five tracks were added on Sunday, August 26.
✚ “Mountain of Air” from *For Organ and Brass* by **Ellen Arkbro**, of Stockholm, Sweden. It was released on the Subtext label back in April of this year: [ellenarkbro.bandcamp.com](https://ellenarkbro.bandcamp.com).
✚ “Memory Block” from *Music for DOS* by **Simon Stålenhag**, of Sweden. Per album title, the music was recorded using an old-school Pentium 266 Mhz (which was state of the art roughly 20 years ago), running the music software Impulse Tracker. [Boing Boing](https://boingboing.net/2018/08/23/music-for-dos-lo-fi-album-by.html) featured the album this past week. The album was self-released two weeks ago: [simonstalenhag.bandcamp.com](https://simonstalenhag.bandcamp.com/album/music-for-dos).
✚ “Momentary” from *re:memeber* by **Olafur Arnalds**, based in Reykjavik, Iceland. It was released last week on the Mercury KX label: [mercurykx.com](https://www.mercurykx.com/release/remember/).
✚ “Aerosols for Pluviculture” from *The Biode* by **Robert Rich**, based in Mountain View, California. It was released back in February of this year on Rich’s own Soundscape label: [robertrich.bandcamp.com](https://robertrich.bandcamp.com/album/the-biode).
✚ “On the Day You Saw the Dead Whale” from Hundreds of Days by **Mary Lattimore**, based in Los Angeles, California. Dave Depper of Death Cab for Cutie singled it out recently in [an interview](https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2018/08/16/playlist-whats-death-cab-cutie-listening/1001737002/). It was released on Ghostly in May of this year: [marylattimoreharpist.bandcamp.com](https://marylattimoreharpist.bandcamp.com/album/hundreds-of-days). “Never Saw Him Again” from the same album previously appeared in Stasis Report from June 4 through June 24 of this year.
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 retired tracks (by **Daniel Aged**, **Ethan Gold**, **Kano**, **Simon McCorry**, **Orquestra de las Nubes**, and **Marta SmiLga**) are now in the [Stasis Archives](https://open.spotify.com/user/dsqt/playlist/7wQclXEfiEJ20KNIONJXGw?si=5RmtEbbSQcKNbK1ho2Vyog) playlist (currently only on Spotify).
