Tyke Chandler of experimental keyboard-based band Astral Academy has released a number of ambient albums on Academy Records under the alias Lähtö. His latest release, Shadows Of What We Were, recalls the works of Jesu, M83, and Double Leopards, by skillfully transforming his compositions through manipulation of layers of instruments in such a way as to be undetected by the listener, rather than harshly altering them in an ostentatious manner. However, Chandler retains a strictly ambient sound, combining organic and synthesized instruments into a mélange of melancholy tonality.
