Shallow Water

Shallow Water (feat. Maor Nawi)

From the series that has previously served up such gems as Robert Babicz’s ‘Auralphase’ and Dave Seaman’s ‘Justified Replacement Of Lulu’, the Selador Showcase is back with another batch of beauties lovingly collated for your listening pleasure.

For the third in the series, we’ve opted for an EP rather than LP as we know first hand how increasingly difficult it is to digest full length albums in this crazy age of quantity over quality. So without further ado, here they are, five exclusive Techno weapons, from established artists, label favourites and new names alike, every one a thriller in their own right.

Upgrade your perspective. The Third Generation are here.

Lasting

As suggested by Plato, the father of philosophy, time is "a moving image of eternity." In Horizon Matrix, Max Corbacho skillfully creates a revealing and expansive atmospheric flow, in which the deep nature of temporality is the guiding thread. Such a sound landscape—slow and dreamlike—paints a graceful image where listener breathes and in a way is able to escape out of time, entering a kind of sonic wormhole. Max prints his signature stamp on all tracks, creating with his synthesizers and hardware processors expansive and luminous soundscapes, imbued with a full and warm sound, full of nuances and details. The silky chords, intertwined and fused in rich harmonies, create a space of sound in which time seems to dissolve, foreshadowing eternity. As we go deeper into the album, the multi-layered harmonic patterns push toward the climax located in the fourth track, "Into the Ocean of Time." The first track, "Quantum Cathedrals," elicits the same majesty as the 2009 album Ars Lucis. Max reflects on the connections with this album: 

"During the creation of 'Quantum Cathedrals,' I realized that I was entering the same space that I had visited years ago during the recording of Ars Lucis. It was like going back to a place far away in the time that had produced in me a special feeling. On the imminent tenth anniversary of Ars Lucis, I am pleased to open the album with this piece, born from the same filtered light." 

Passed through the electronic sieve of twenty-first-century instruments, this music possesses a deep, mythical temperament that paints a breathtaking panorama of the vastness. 

Composed, performed and produced by Max Corbacho during 2017 – 2018, Barcelona, Spain.

Story of winter

What dreams we share

"A Delicate Dance" is taken from "Paths", the new album by Darren Harper.

Last copies of the Limited edition cassettes and CD's in hand made packages available here:

https://shimmeringmoodsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/paths

“A micro-world of textured electronics and voltage; a simple wind chime singing in a breeze” 
Created with a modular synthesizer and effect pedals, Paths is an account of missteps and error, a process of understanding; an unfolding. A discovery of oneʼs voice...a reflection of nature.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

darren harper's latest work is a joyous collage for all seasons; a delicate record that soothes and refreshes the spirit.

kaleidoscopic chimes and playful bells tumble against each other. twinkling notes drift down in little flurries, then melt away as sunlit chords push aside the clouds.

low, thrumming bokeh echoes bring distant mountaintops intimately close, then curve down into hushed forest floors, winds whispering through leaves overhead. tiny layers of loops and quiet delays, jumbled melodies, sparse crackling branches, and somber swells invite contemplation of these fragile spaces.

each moment is cherished, each song reveals new life: ephemeral, yet enduring. the ice breaks, slowly gliding away as the river shakes off its long slumber.

never obscuring, always revealing; these intertwining paths abound with the hopeful promise that spring is coming.

SOLACE // comfort or consolation in a time of distress or sadness.
To my creatives, friends, loved ones and all humans tuned in... this is for you. I’ve carefully placed a score of beautiful tracks together that spoke to me in hopes that it might bring some comfort to your mind and soul. There’s a lot going on right now and it’s hard not to be stifled by uncertainty and fear, however, we can do our best to share the pieces of us that offer a bit of light and healing. Whether that’s a sweet compliment, a shared smile, posting a beautiful photo you took or a playlist made up of your favorite songs. I feel my way of shining light is through music... which to me is light its self.
So I offer you this mix and the energy it holds to uplift you in any way possible.
Be well babies, we got this.
