aus Announces New Album 'mere meer' with First Single 'Presence'

publication · 2026-09-10

On October 23, Japanese composer aus will unveil his album, mere meer, via the Munich-based label Squama. The lead single, "Presence," featuring Silver Ley, is accompanied by a visualizer that emphasizes its otherworldly essence. This album delves into the themes of perception, weaving together voice and memory to craft an immersive experience drawn from personal memories. Several tracks originated as sketches, blending synthesizers and vocal snippets into fleeting beauty. Environmental sounds redefine reality, evoking a fictional space born from recollections. Shifting from previous organic warmth, mere meer fuses artificial and vibrant elements, incorporating ethereal drones and complex textures. Featured artists include kindtree (Purelink), Max Buzone, and Noah, with mastering by Taylor Deupree. Pre-orders are now available.
