Angela Winter – Forbidden Questions In Space (PITP, 2025)

Forbidden Questions In Space is a haunting, koan-inspired journey of ambient, vocal, and drone improvisations. Born from Zen riddles and cosmic wonder, Angela Winter transforms existential dread into spacious, contemplative soundscapes. It asks: How do we meet the world as it is? The result is meditative and stirring, an invitation to let go of certainty and awaken to beauty in the unknown.

“Shimmers with quiet intensity while balancing spacious calm with subtle emotional weight. It's a deeply reflective work, and it fits in perfectly with the label's faultless catalogue. This is music for meeting the world as it is—unfolding slowly, holding space for stillness and cultivating a tender curiosity toward the unknown.” —Juno Records, UK

“Evocative work that lingers in the spaces between thought and silence.” —Norman Records, UK

“Glorious ambient.” —Jim Causey, Convergence Zone, 90.7 KSER, Pacific Northwest
