Rafael Anton Irisarri Announces New Album ‘Points of Inaccessibility’

Rafael Anton Irisarri has announced a new album called Points of Inaccessibility. It lands on February 6th, via Black Knoll Editions on BioVinyl.

The record was developed during a residency inside the former Pieter Baan Centre in Utrecht. Once used as a psychiatric prison, the site still carries traces of its past in the building’s stark silence and heavy acoustic character. Irisarri worked in the space while Dutch artist Jaco Schilp developed point cloud visuals for an A/V performance. The music was later reconstructed and produced in Irisarri’s New York studio.

Speaking about the project, Irisarri states:

“Points of Inaccessibility came from thinking about how disconnection feels in an age obsessed with connection. We are constantly online, constantly visible, yet we drift further apart. The real distance isn’t geographic anymore, it’s emotional.”

He also reflected on the effect of the building itself:

“Inside that old psychiatric prison in Utrecht, the air felt heavy with the residue of other lives. The sound carried traces of silence, as if the walls remembered things that had been forgotten. It made me aware that every frequency holds a ghost.”

Points of Inaccessibility comes ahead of several 2026 live dates, including shows in Hungary, Spain, Greece, and the UK.

Tour Dates:

01/23 – House of Music Hungary, Budapest, Hungary
02/01 – LABA, Iruña-Pamplona, Spain
