I love this! The intro is so hypnotising and atmospheric,  the tone of your voice is so rich and the melody is also beautiful and somehow goes so well with the kind of slightly sad but accepting lyrics which are so profound and philosophical! Kind of reminds me a little of Leonard Cohen's songs :)

A few seconds and I was hooked, cool vibe!

Very cool sound. It evokes images of Arthur Russell and his echo technique. Heart felt delivery on the vocal track. The pulsing arpeggio keeps the song flowing forward at a very fluid pace. Nice tune. Check me out when you get a chance, Thank you.

Very interesting track. It evokes the spirit of Arthur Russell and his beautifully innovative echo technique. Are you a fan? Great song. Please check me out when you get a chance, thank you.

Invisible String is a collection of live recordings made by Gareth Dickson on his solo odyssey around Europe in 2012. From the banks of the Bosphorus in Istanbul, to a rooftop in Paris overlooking the Sacre Couer, by way of a slightly less glamorous stairwell in Caen, this relentless travelling and performing allowed Gareth to hone his art to its summit, and resulted in a bewitching batch of live performances. Brought to you here, to move your soul in the comfort of your own little kingdom.

As the azure strait in Istanbul has its edges in two different worlds, so Dickson’s music spans two musical continents also. This is music which belongs partly to the centuries old craft of playing an instrument, with all of the intricacy, spontaneity and happy accident which that allows; but it is also infused with the sounds of the electronic revolution: synthesized, tribal, abstract sounds that temporarily overturned an aeon of vibrating strings and gave us an entirely new world to find ourselves lost in. Dickson deftly blends analogue delay and reverb with his steel string guitar to create a completely unique, ghostly, rhythmic sound which has proven to be flexible enough to allow him to absorb many musical styles - from classical, through folk to electro and beyond in a completely coherent unified style where the borders are invisible. Carefully recorded on the road, and beautifully mastered by Taylor Deupree, the sound quality here is as enchanting as any of Dickson’s existing recordings, if not more so. There is perhaps, though, an even greater immediacy and focus to the playing as a result of the mystical connection which exists between audience and performer when things go right, as they most definitely have done here.

In addition to his solo output Dickson has recorded and toured extensively world wide at the invitation of cult legends Vashti Bunyan and Juana Molina. He has a steadily growing international audience and is well known and recognised by his musical peers and other artists. Counting Ian Rankin and Kirsty Mitchell as fans, and with the most respected music publications aiming to surpass each other in their praise for his work, this innovative new artist has now arrived.

Like A Clock

With over 100 physical releases since its inception by Taylor Deupree in 1997, New York-based music label 12k has decisively defined and developed the concept of minimalism in the realms of electronic music for more than a decade. Fusing elements from Ambient and Electro-Acoustic Composition with carefully arranged digital textures and associative micro-noises, the label's aesthetics revolve around a precisely-outlined, yet deeply emotional concoction of the technological and the organic. Eschewing the typical marketing mechanisms of the commercial music industry, Deupree has sculpted a platform whose influence today extends well beyond the confinements of the experimental community. 12k's integral approach, in which the label's instantly recognizable, elegantly spartan artwork enters into an inseparable symbiosis with the music, has created a timeless audiovisual language respected and appreciated all over the world.
