Mixtape #126

03 May 2021

Known for a myriad of multi-art collaborations, Chris Vibberts is a tremendously talented composer and multi-instrumentalist, constantly performing and recording, as well as producing a vast array of artists. A sabbatical in the high desert mountains of central Mexico proved life changing and gave birth to his project Chrystal Für. Under this moniker, he swept us away with compositions incorporating electronic elements and genres from ambient and post-classical to drone. His utterly engrossing and profoundly beautiful new album, Elusion, arrives at the tail end of the month and we’re thrilled to have him curate this month’s mixtape with a sublime selection, including three tracks from his upcoming album. Enjoy!
