The Absence of Being
A 7 track ambient album (52m 18s) — released September 19th 2025 on quiet details
An endless musical curiosity and open-mindedness runs through Chloe's psyche, and an important part of this is experimental and horizontal music, explored under the alias Raica. A series of stunning albums and live shows demonstrates the breadth of her talent.
The Absence of Being is a truly gorgeous piece of work. It takes an artist with special sensitivity to create something so emotive and quietly powerful.
From the softly undulating opening chords and gradually building synth-scapes, you're immediately enveloped in a beautiful warmth - vivid and vast, patient and all-encompassing.
As the album drifts on, we find more stunning sound-worlds, each track a kaleidoscopic microcosm - perfect in themselves and together more than the sum of their parts. Minimal and expertly produced - this is ambience of the highest order.
You can feel it by just listening, but it's important to know this is a deeply personal album. As Chloe says "This is basically just a love note to my mom and my son Cameron. They both left me much sooner than i would have liked. I've tried to carry on but sometimes it's difficult. So this is for them."
A love note to those that left too soon.
A space for memories and transitions.
A warm feeling that overwhelms the soul.
Love is the answer. Love is the healing force.
Truer words never spoken, huge thanks to Chloe - a wonderful addition to the series.
