Noveller

Noveller creates music that feels like a physical space you can walk around in. While it is technically solo electric guitar, Sarah Lipstate uses an arsenal of pedals and looping techniques to build massive, orchestral walls of sound that never feel aggressive. It is shimmering, liquid, and deeply melodic, often evoking vast natural landscapes or the quiet interior of a dream.

What makes this project distinctive is the way Lipstate treats the guitar as a synthesizer or a string section rather than a lead instrument. There are no traditional riffs or solos here; instead, you get slow-motion swells, crystalline harmonics, and rhythmic pulses that feel like a heartbeat. It is ambient music with a structural backbone, maintaining a sense of narrative and movement even at its most ethereal.

Start with 'Fantastic Planet' to hear her most polished, cinematic work. It perfectly balances her experimental noise roots with a newfound sense of cosmic beauty. If you prefer something more stark and atmospheric, 'Glacial Glow' offers a colder, more immersive experience that highlights her mastery of tone and space.
