Released on 13 February 2026, Temperament marks the debut album from UK-based electronic producer Chris Ami — a nine-track journey through the shifting psychological states that shape human experience. Blending organic instrumentation with textured electronic production, the record moves fluidly between broken beats, ambient passages, house rhythms and orchestral swells.

Hubris opens the release to engaging instrumentation and attention-demanding spoken word. It beautifully sets the scene as to what’s to come, and the intelligent arrangements shine through. Also, Hope is a standout track with gorgeous melodies and stunning instrumentation. The driving arrangement is thoroughly engaging and keeps the listener captivated.

In addition, Spiral takes the album in a fresh direction. It is complete with punchy instrumentation, an ever-evolving arrangement and vibrant production. Moreover, Between is ruled by delicate melodies and ever-growing instrumentation. It takes the listener by the hand and guides us through a wondrous sonic escape. Finally, Drift closes the release, leaving the listener reaching for the repeat button.

Each composition explores a distinct emotional space, from ego and longing to anxiety and release, forming a cohesive narrative arc. Thoughtful yet immersive, Temperament invites listeners into the space between certainty and doubt — where reflection meets rhythm, and introspection finds its pulse.

Fusion

With Temperament, Chris Ami delivers a debut that feels both conceptually ambitious and emotionally grounded. The album’s seamless fusion of cello, piano, synth textures and driving electronic rhythms creates a cinematic listening experience that unfolds with intention. From the philosophical opening of “Hubris” to the closing resolution of “Drift,” the record rewards full immersion, revealing new layers with each listen.

Fans

For fans of Bonobo, Jon Hopkins, Burial, Amon Tobin and Floating Points, this is a project that balances depth with atmosphere. Temperament establishes Chris Ami as an artist unafraid to explore the inner landscape — and invite others in.
