Fionnlagh - What Came After

Ambientologist Mixes

Logic Moon and Atmøsphäre come together for ‘Fading’, a carefully assembled study of light and dark. One minute light dances in the dark, and the next minute the shadows mime their way across illuminated canvases.

Logic Moon’s deliberately faint compositional style, coupled with Atmøsphäre’s ear for musical space, combine for something noticeably more affective than their previous solo outputs. A captivating and consuming listen.

Logic Moon & Atmøsphäre - Celestia

The Sustain Series project continues with its second volume, 24 recycled forms created from old and unused material. Since the release of Volume 1 in November last year, more artists have come together to salvage, repurpose, restore and deconstruct each other’s pieces, or collaborate on a particular idea. What results is a growing variety of approaches and outputs, from minor embellishments to full disfigurement.

Volume 2 moves thematically, as if in four chapters, from the expressive openers, through enchanting natural-sounding pieces, before opening up to more ethereal expanses, and finally darker and more thoughtful ones. As it does, visions emerge of our natural world - its power, its beauty and its vulnerability.

Antarctic Wastelands - Light, Fragmented

Ushering in the first Ambientologist single, Rinnovare offers a duo of stunning pieces that expand with emotion and grace. Washing over with heavenly textures, yet grounded in the soul of the strings and piano, Ingrávido presents a duality of tales, one humble and the other uplifting. 

Download it here: https://bit.ly/3ikpmVJ

More than just a pairing of tracks, these artefacts of rebirth are profoundly important to Rinnovare, and it is Ambientologist's honour and privilege to showcase them.

Ingrávido

Rinnovare - Familiar Illustration

Rinnovare - Still Fabrication

Overcoming distance and solitude, Julia Gjertsen and Nico Rosenberg join from across the oceans for a tranquil new project. A precursor to their full EP on Moderna Records later this year, Los Océanos delivers an unmistakable quietude to prepare the mental palette for what is to come.

Find it here: https://bit.ly/2FyJ3Lq

A sense of floating on waves under an illuminated night sky, being rocked to sleep by its gentle caress.

The two started collaborating online, bridging the 8,000 miles between Norway and Chile. Beginning as a MAX/MSP patch designed by Rosenberg, Gjertsen supplied layers of piano improvisations, before the result being recorded to tape at a slower pace, giving it its serene, dream-like quality.

Julia Gjertsen & Nico Rosenberg - Los Océanos

Over the past year, a selection of artists have been digging through the depths of their creative pursuits, for material they either cannot finish, or else would like to see adapted. These same artists and more have delved into the resulting repertoire, and emerged with new, repurposed pieces.

Out of this births the first volume of the Sustain Series: a means for artists to make use of old sounds, hoping to bring forward music that might have otherwise not seen the light of day. Thanks to the input from a variety of fantastic musicians, old material can breathe new life, sometimes in more than one form.

Find it here: bit.ly/3nW52x3

In keeping with this 'recycling' of ideas, all proceeds of the compilation here on Bandcamp will go to Conservation International, promoting sustainability and conservation across the world.

www.conservation.org/

It’s ever more important to think sustainably for the sake of our planet, and every effort we make will help curb the cataclysmic events we see shaping in front of us. Give what is feasible in these tough times, but most of all please enjoy this collection of recovered gems.
