Introducing SONICA, LAMINAR’s ongoing sonic series. Each edition invites artists to translate movement into resonance — creating a soundtrack for how we shift through space, time, and feeling.
For our first edition, we welcome multi-dimensional musician and composer Joe Armon-Jones.
His curation is a meditative journey: for transitional hours, introspective motion, and quiet expansion.
From jazz-inflected textures to ambient drift, SONICA Vol. 1 is an invitation to move — inward, outward, or not at all.

London-based artist Mansur Brown curates an eclectic drift for thresholds and in-between hours.
Strings lead the way - fingerstyle studies, jazz inflections, and quiet folk - opening into cinematic synths and meditative piano.
The pace is patient, the palette warm, with moments of weight and grain.
A soundtrack for transit, dusk walks, and rooms of soft light.

Vocalist and composer Enji curates a border crossing drift through the jazz continuum.
Classic ballads and modal reveries brush against Brazilian sway, 70s soul afterglow, and contemporary minimalist studies.
Voices stay close to the mic; woodwinds, harp, muted horns, and soft mallets breathe around them.
The tempo lingers low, lifting at times into a subtle, head nodding groove—intimate, spacious, quietly luminous.
A companion for late dinners, night drives, and unhurried journeys.

Jazz artist Damian Dalla Torre curates a fluid arc for unhurried hours.
The sequence leans into environmental ambience and modern‑classical detail—piano hush, bowed overtones,
and close‑miked woodwinds—then opens to spiritual‑jazz interplay and hand‑played rhythms.
Gentle electronics surface like tide: dub haze, soft polyrhythms, and Detroit‑leaning pulses
that move without crowding the space. Watery motifs and room tone give it breath;
the palette stays lucid, blue, and human. A soundtrack for slow mornings, focused work, dusk trains,
and rooms lit by a single lamp.
