🎧 Spending the morning with the mesmerizing new record from @saapato.bsky.social who responds to death and decomposition with beauty and wonder. He’s assisted by an exceptional list of collaborators. The body is just a shell for spirit.

GREAT interview with sound artist and fellow insomniac @saapato.bsky.social Decomposition is one of my favorite albums of 2025.

Saapato is a project by New York-based musician Brendan Principato, who is deeply interested in the aural connections of the natural world. His new album Decomposition: Fox on a Highway was release…

Out today: massive new work from @saapato.bsky.social on @ctatsu.bsky.social. Highest recommendation, and not just because I contributed to one song. Listen on headphones and immerse yourself

My new album is out in less than a week on @ctatsu.bsky.social. It’s got over a dozen amazing experimental musicians featured on it and explores themes of decay and transformation among other things. If you are a writer or know someone who may be interested in reviewing it, please get in touch. Ty!

Just wait until you hear Stefan’s contribution to this album. Can’t really find the words to express how grateful I am to have worked with so many incredible heads on this record.

Golden Brown @goldenbrownmusic.bsky.social · Mar 11

This interview with Saapato was a great read. It was very cool to get some more insight on an album that I contributed to on one song. It’s mind blowing to be on there alongside Laraaji, Green-House, Loris S. Sarid, and so many other musicians I admire.

saapato.bsky.social @saapato.bsky.social · Mar 10

Honored to have been interviewed by @foxydigitalis.bsky.social - thorough and thoughtful, we talk about my new record, early musical influences, and some existential topics as well. Check it all out below.

I've been a fan of @saapato.bsky.social for a while. The new album is a blessing, w/ brilliant collaborations & deep exploratory forms. The cassette edition will be tasty from @ctatsu.bsky.social, but for now I'm happy exploring these deep sounds. Recommended!

Saapato's latest album, "Decomposition: Fox on a Highway," is massive. From it's conceptual framework, it's incredible list of collaborators, and it's general expansiveness, it pushes the project into new realms. In this expansive interview, we get it into all of that and more. @saapato.bsky.social

In recent years, Saapato has released a wave of immersive and beautifully crafted music. His sonic landscapes are vibrant, weaving melodic echoes and organic textures into rich, emotive expressions…

The mention of @patriciawolf.bsky.social caught my eye. Then Laraaji, Green-House, @jamesbernard.bsky.social, @marineeyes.bsky.social, to name a few.

And the accompanying notes! A great read and highly compelling.

Loved the available tunes so I preordered the album. Can’t wait to hear the rest!

Happy Bandcamp Fri. I’m excited to be a part of this collab album w/ @saapato.bsky.social +friends. This album explores the decomposition process of a poor fox that was struck by a car and killed. The collab list of artists is awesome and all tracks sound great!
