ah markus you have done yourself a master piece congrats

A Strangely Isolated Place (ASIP): Releases

Song of the Highest Tower. Inspired by a poem by Arthur Rimbaud. 

Oisive jeunesse 
A tout asservie, 
Par délicatesse 
J'ai perdu ma vie. 
Ah ! Que le temps vienne 
Où les coeurs s'éprennent. 

Je me suis dit : laisse, 
Et qu'on ne te voie : 
Et sans la promesse 
De plus hautes joies. 
Que rien ne t'arrête, 
Auguste retraite. 

J'ai tant fait patience 
Qu'à jamais j'oublie 
[...] 

Oisive jeunesse 
A tout asservie, 
Par délicatesse 
J'ai perdu ma vie. 
Ah ! Que le temps vienne 
Où les coeurs s'éprennent.

All tracks written and produced by Pasquale Riviezzo

ASIP029 Halo - Song Of The Highest Tower

"When the gate of clouds opens wide, rain starts falling on the inner lands. And an harmony of choirs and voices lifts up, like children, a pure melody of oscillating bells plays inside us. Intensely. Airy. Ethereal. Nature awakening. Deeply immersed in silences and noises." 

All tracks written and produced by Pasquale Riviezzo

ASIP029 Halo - Cloud Gate

"A sequence of places. Indefinite. A continuous flow of emotions that paints a landscape in the air. Here are new colors, new notes. And new atmospheres. It’s all about atmosphere. Intimate. And I cannot define boundaries, or limits. So wide, but so real. Like the fields that unfold while we’re moving, our travel. And they are reflected in our eyes like morning dew in a mirror".

ASIP029 Halo - The Inner Realm

"Departure is how the act of moving from one place to another begins. This is a station of passage, an abandoned station you see through the window while you’re travelling to another town. It’s an isolated place, vanishing in the mist, where few voices are heard and a train is passing by. All is immersed in the ambience of a particular Autumn day; a soft rain starts pouring down while all our feelings are flowing freely."

After almost half a year without updates, we finally found the time to renew the series with the kind assistance of Scav.

The main brain behind Acoustic Waves, who is also an important part of Artmospheric crew for the last few years, puts together a refined selection of high-resolution mellow downtempo/IDM stuff in his second Artmospheric Session.

A music enthusiast, tireless event organiser and avid digger, Alcachofa is a versatile artist with multiple influences and boundless curiosity. Now based in Paris after multiple experiences abroad, he has been a member of the deep techno label Lowless for several years. Alcachofa likes to bring the listener into an intropsective journey where feelings and emotions play a predominant role.

About the mix he said:
"The recording starts slowly, with melodic tunes moving surely into more deep and introspective sounds. As the set moves forward, you can feel how it evolves toward a nostalgic mood, ending with positive notes and a vibe full of hope."

Deep Breakfast 330 ~ Alcachofa

The warm afterglow of a weekend of music. Smoke filled rooms and comforting tones, all shades of ambient and beyond. This is what I played for my set on Sunday, the final day at our annual barn gathering. Everyone melted into couches, flitting in and out of consciousness. As light turned to darkness ever so gently, we all took turns providing a sonic window into what the day of rest and recovery means.

Track list:

Genis Remacha - Flight towards the vulgar beginning
The Microgram - Cloudy Solution
Barefoot - Eternalism
Zenso - Eden
Concave Reflection - Paradise
James K - Idea.2
Marv - Laughing
Area 3 - Deep Seek
Dania - Car Crash Premonition
Offthesky - falsewake

Sundays are for... [Oct/25]

We're thrilled to welcome Joseph Valentino aka Neglect as our special guest this last weekend of October. Get ready for a sonic journey that swings from energetic highs to moody lows, a mix that takes you on a ride through different vibes.

Neglect is a southern california born, southern arizona based visual artist and musician whose ambient compositions focus on the sparse terrain of living in the desert and how sound translates an environment of wide spaces and harsh extremes. He has been recording and releasing music since 2005 and started mixing records in 1995. His work has appeared on the labels Boomarm Nation, Harmonic Ooze, Adventurous Music, and Shimmering Moods, aside from his own
digital imprint, Neglectsound.

About the mix he said:
"I think of a mix like creating a photo album, a collection of moments in time. Where i was when i heard this song, what year it was, the sense of a season
when i recorded the music, what was happening at that time in my life? Everything begins with one track and then the map starts to take shape. For this episode in particular, it was the sense of spirit in the Millsart track ' Yantra.' I can remember where i was living and the mood of the time when i bought this record in a shop, a feeling of that i can only describe as ancient hope, a timeless desire for discovery. I hope as you listen to this, you will hear a sound, a rhythmic loop, or a chord change that makes something inside you connect with that ancient hope, the curiosity for change."

Tracklist:
1. JMV - Hind / Red Crescent (Neglectsound)
2. Millsart - Yantra / Mecca Ep (Axis)
3. Abide Serene - Invincible Purity / 0357 (abideserene bandcamp)

5. Sun Electric - Aaah! / Aaah! Ep (R&S records)
6. Evigt Morker - Aspect Clauser Zeilinger (Northern Electronics)
7. Stewart Walker - Lakewalking / Stables (Force Inc.)
8. Spectral Habitat - Forest / Atlas (spectralhabitat bandcamp)

Campfire Stories 42 (Titan Kawaakari) by A Strangely Isolated Place

~ About The Story ~

Titan is the largest moon of Saturn. It is the only moon known to have a dense atmosphere, and the only object in space, other than Earth, where clear evidence of stable bodies of surface liquid has been found, including lakes, seas, rivers and rain. 

Kawaakari is the glow of a river or stream in darkness or dusk, the gleaming surface of a shadowed river (Japanese 川明かり).

ASIP - Campfire Stories (Titan Kawaakari)

Campfire Stories 42 (Titan Kawaakari) by A Strangely Isolated Place

Track 3 from Markus Guentner's 3-track Places Series EP.
http://soundcloud.com/astrangelyisolatedplace/sets/asip014-markus-guentner/

‘Talking Clouds’ completes the homespun trinity. Slow-built around a subdued angels’ chorus and a growing sense of anticipation, after a long night drive and the cold bite of the AM hours, there’s a simple contentment in the patient wait for dawn to colour the sky.

ASIP014 Markus Guentner - Talking Clouds

A little ambient piece I wrote yesterday afternoon.. Sorry not to have so much time for composing music until July, but I really wanted to share something with you in a little free time from my studying.

I always thought of ambient music as a way to effectively depict soundscapes with notes and musical colors (frequencies, tones, silences).

I’ll listen to this with closed eyes and I’ll see sounds painting a landscape in the imaginary space. Like emerging from the deepness of your thoughts, and sorrounding you with its presence, because it's you who has been creating it. Music conceals places in its notes.

I called that place "The wastelands", a distant landscape brought back to our time for a little moment, as it were while the wind blew in the cloudy sky and the sun set over the horizon of the open fields.

Just like a dream, at the end you open your eyes and there's no trace left, if not a subtle sensation of having been there, somewhere, sometime...
