The first volume in this new chapter of the compilation series captures the emotions and experiences of artists from late 2023 to early 2024 through musical experimentation and noise. Each contribution reflects a deeply personal journey - some as affirmations, others as meditations on life’s fragility - all reinforcing the purpose behind this series. At its core, Aurora Compilations was created to provide hope, and that remains its driving force. Through sound, artists transform uncertainty into expression, offering listeners a space for reflection, resilience, and connection.
