Last Glowing Embers: a new journey into experimental ambient soundscape:
Unlike the clearly nautical "5,000 Fathoms..." or the nature documentary context of "Buried Reefs", this project has a much more open-ended disposition, lending itself to any listening environment you choose (of course headphones recommended for the 1st listen). With no set narrative to focus attention to, I instead dove inwards, burying layer after layer of sound (samples and my own found sound) into thick atmospheres before dissolving into the next movement (the continuous 49 minute piece is designed to slowly transform from one moment to the next, blurring the vanishing point of where any particular sample ends or begins).  There are moments that veer closer to classical music than previous work, while other sections neatly summarize several sounds I have chased in the past. Ranging from subliminal to loud-and-clear, nearly every moment of the runtime contains field recordings captured on either a new Tascam hand-held device or a Crown P-SASS stereo mic (this is noticeable from the opening seconds as a stone skips from the left to right side of the mix). In a lot of ways I feel this project represents the culmination of a lot of hours spent editing ambient music over the past few years, slowly try to find my own voice in skewing together the voices of others. LGE resists easy categorization in the oftentimes stale world of ambient music, especially that aimed towards sleeping or meditation. This project has been edited for nearly 3 months towards lulling the listener into a false sense of calm before disrupting expectations with something like the low bass rumbles of Windy and Carl's "Antarctica" or the loud scrapes of gregorian chanting in Amp's piece. Put on your headphones and enjoy, I look forward to hearing your feedback.

Mix of the Week #102: Sorcerer - New Age Crystals

The main idea behind this mix was to create a soothing, positive sonic landscape to help me clear my mind. The mix avoids going into abstract or darker territories, and in my opinion has a rather friendly vibe to it.

It seemed like a good idea to share this with my Soundcloud friends. Please enjoy.

Here's something a bit different that i've been working on for the past couple of years. At some point the mix kind of seemed like one of those things that i wouldnt stop changing, based solely on the fact that i'm always waiting for new music and ways to improve the mix. This however was turning out to be an endless cycle. Yesterday i decided to finish it just as it is. Hopefully it made the right call :)

Ep.51 w/. Albrecht La'Brooy (Analogue Attic/Butter Sessions // AU) - 14 May 2017

You're just as likely to find classically trained pianist Alex Albrecht performing live under some sun-dappled trees as you are in a sweaty warehouse. One half of @albrecht-labrooy and Melbourne-based imprint, @analogueattic, his musical endeavours are imbued with an ambience that is very much a product of environment.

With all previous material arriving on AAR, releases on Butter Sessions and Night Tide signal a step into uncharted territory for Alex Albrecht and Sean La'Brooy. What the future holds is unclear, but featuring some unreleased Analogue Attic material, this ambient blend gives some indication.

Isao Tomita - The Girl with the Flaxen Hair (Claude Debussy) 
Steve Hillage- Garden Of Paradise

L.I.E.S. Takeover - Terekke - Saturday 24th February 2018

Wetransfer x Tom Trago x Byborre for Paris Fashion Week 2019

Daniel Oliverius, otherwise known as "@udmo", is a local producer and DJ with several compositions on Melbourne label @analogueattic.

The talented young artist is heavily influenced by music from the 1990's: a time of experimental production techniques, textural soundscapes and playful melodies. As such, this mix consists primarily of tracks from old ambient and downtempo CDs produced by artists such as The Bionaut and New Composers. Interspersed throughout the mix are delightful field recordings captured from a winter weekend away in Kangaroo Ground. 

Currently Daniel is experimenting with producing more club-orientated music, so be sure to keep an ear out for exciting things to come.
