MARGAUX GAZUR — Over There

Margaux Gazur – OVER THERE is the latest 12-inch vinyl offering from Music From Memory (catalogue MFM089). The French-Vietnamese sound artist, now based in Berlin, delivers an ambient record that weaves acoustic sources, field recordings and subtle electronics into a series of richly textured soundscapes. The album’s focus on distance, memory and the pull of home gives the release a narrative depth that resonates beyond its gentle sonic palette. Within the Music From Memory catalogue, OVER THERE follows a string of 2026 releases that explore the label’s affinity for atmospheric and experimental music. Earlier this year the imprint issued Argento’s MIRAGGI (MFM084), LA Marr’s MOOD PROGRAMS – EXTENDED PLAY (MFM087) and Turn ON The Sunlight’s ISEO (MFM085), each expanding the label’s reputation for immersive, genre-bending works. Gazur’s contribution continues this trajectory, adding a personal, field-record-laden perspective to the label’s evolving sound. Side A opens with “Prelude”, a three-minute introduction that sets a contemplative tone, its slowly shifting textures inviting the listener into the record’s intimate world. The second cut, “Stella & Louise”, expands the mood with a ten-minute collage built from recordings of Gazur’s younger sisters playing with toys and instruments during a Christmas holiday. A clarinet scale performed by Louise becomes the seed of the piece, anchoring the composition in a nostalgic, child-like resonance that unfolds organically. The side closes with the title track “Over There”, a nine-minute journey that mirrors the feeling of a long-distance trek. Its evolving layers suggest a search for belonging, gradually guiding the listener back toward an imagined home. Side B begins with “Finding The Way”, a ten-minute work that emerged from the same live performance that birthed “Stella & Louise”. It channels childhood nostalgia and the desire to reconnect with family and old friends, its structure allowing DJs to weave it into set-ups that require a gradual build of emotional weight. The record concludes with “To The Ones We Love”, an eleven-minute piece that continues the theme of reconnection, offering an open-ended, dreamlike conclusion that can serve as a reflective closing moment in a set or as a meditative listening experience on its own. Gazur’s discography on Music From Memory is singular, making this release a focal point in the artist’s output. The album’s blend of ambient composition, musique concrète techniques and occasional melodic gestures positions it within contemporary underground electronic music as a work that values physical texture and emotional resonance over dancefloor immediacy. Its emphasis on field recordings and acoustic detail aligns it with the label’s recent releases, while its personal narrative distinguishes it within the broader catalogue. For DJs, the record offers several points of entry. “Stella & Louise” and “Finding The Way” provide long, evolving forms that can be layered under more rhythmic tracks, while “Over There” works as a bridge between ambient interludes and more kinetic moments. The subtle electronic undercurrents and the clear sense of space make the cuts suitable for late-night sets, ambient rooms, or as background to more experimental programming. Collectors will appreciate the cohesive sequencing and the way each side balances intimacy with a sense of journey, making the vinyl a compelling addition to any ambient or experimental collection. The release arrives as a standard 12-inch vinyl, presenting the five tracks in their full, uninterrupted lengths. The format preserves the album’s intended flow, allowing the listener to experience the gradual unfolding of each piece as the needle moves from side to side.
