Sanguis is the alias of Berlin-based producer Ludwig Wandinger, a fixture in the city's experimental scene. On his debut album Wounding, dark ambient textures and solo piano improvisations let the listener's attention slip in and out of focus creating a liminal state of dreaming, feeling and drifting through inner worlds and thoughts. Wandinger tries to capture fleeting moments -- all tracks are unedited first takes, some recorded only with his phone in various places, from a friend's flat in Neukölln to his family home in rural Bavaria. Background noises become a part of the music and create a tangible sense of place, urging the listener to keep an ear out for one's own surroundings. Though firmly rooted in the ambient genre, the album is not just about finding comfort. It's an acknowledgement of the ambiguity of our world where menace and beauty coexist, a dichotomy most apparent in nature itself -- a constant source of inspiration for Wandinger. Wounding is about walking alone on damp foliage at night and being handed a blanket by a loved one at the earliest daylight.
