Coldcut has announced a new ambient and classical compilation album @0 that will arrive next month on Coldcut’s imprint Ahead Of Our Time. Among those featured include Julianna Barwick, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Suzanne Ciani, Laraaji, ANNA and Helena Hauff, while Coldcut will remix Imogen Heap for the project.
A big idea behind this project will be charity. The label/Ninja Tune will donate 50% of net receipts to three charities: CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably), Mind and Black Minds Matter.
With the announcement today comes the first of three double singles to be taken from the release titled EP1 that features Suzanne Ciani’s “Morning Spring” & Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith’s “Mt Baker.”

In a statement, Coldcut explains what the title @0 means.
“@0 refers to that liminal state experienced many times where my mental and emotional stability was not solid and it felt like teetering on a zero axis about to fall into depression, or more rarely, mania. I found that ambient music, by making no psychic demands, often opened some space and with its soft fascination, subtly raised the energy, helping to avoid that downward spiral and navigate slowly up and out. @0 is a balance point.”
@0 will be released on November 19 and can be pre-ordered now. EP1 is out now and can be heard below with the tracklist.
