SCHMIEDS PULS - JOY

The soundscape and drone was first composed and performed by VictorYibril - Spain. 
Acoustic expansion and percussion was then added by MATJAMI - Netherlands. "Sleeping Sun" is the prelude and the inspiration to the second collaboration "Victor Meets MATJAMI(VMM-style)". 
Victor made the cover art painting after we completed the musical art.
For the maximum 3-D sonic experience (Bi-anural!), position your head almost between the speakers, or use a good headphone (most ear plugs will not give you the rich, deep texture of sounds, or the 3-D image). Don't start too loud; you can always turn it up later!

Enjoy and share with friends!

A soundscape artist and composer, Andrew Heath creates quiet, ambient, lower-case music based around piano, electronics and field recordings, drawing inspiration from a simple piano motif, an electronic shimmer or a processed found sound. The work he produces blends piano, electronics and found sounds into a mix that on the surface sounds quite minimal and open, but on closer listening, contains detailed fragments, constantly shifting and changing place.

Early collaborations using Fender Rhodes, piano and electronics with fellow musician, Felix Jay under the name Aqeuous led to the release of ‘Tall Cloudtrees Falling’ on Hermetic Recordings in 1995. This inspired a partnership with the legendary Hans-Joachim Roedelius with whom they collaborated on ‘Meeting the Magus’ in 1997. A late night performance in an art studio resulted in the ‘Entertaining Angels’ album in 1998, which was swiftly followed by their last collection, ‘Vortexia’ in 1999.

Andrew went on to produce a number of video and site-specific, sound installations. This introduced him to the technique of working with field recordings, often leaving in the sonic detritus that most would seek to eliminate as being ‘non-musical’.

In 2014 he released his first solo album, ‘The Silent Cartographer’ on Disco Gecko Recordings.  The Ambient Music Guide hailed it as “environmental ambience of the highest order” and one fan went as far as stating that “if you’re one of the legion of fans hankering after the new Budd, Roedelius or Eno, quit waiting and immerse yourself in this”.

Andrew followed this release with ‘Flux’ in 2015, ‘Europa’ in 2016 and ‘Found . Assemble” in 2017. Not only did he revisit his previous Aqueous collaboration with Roedelius to create “After The Magus – to resound” in 2015, but he recorded a concert they performed together at Stroud’s Goods Shed with Christopher Chaplin in 2016 and released that earlier this year as ‘Triptych in Blue’. Crack Magazine loved the “stunning recordings …. which are delicate, wistful and supremely moving”, while Electronic Sound Magazine complemented them on their “sublime ambient/neo-classical compositions … each mesmerising track floating beautifully in astral space” 

His 4th album for Disco Gecko Recordings, ‘Soundings’, was released to critical acclaim worldwide on November 3rd 2017.
