“A Place For Every Piece” was written in 2021. It is about a cabin I have been visiting over a decade now. Growing up and all of the memories that are with me still today. Every time I go there everything is always in the exact spot I remembered it. My grandmothers organ, blankets draped over the couch, Two chairs on top of the rocks outside. This track is very nostalgic to me. The melody towards the end of the song was originally written on that organ and later transcribed to guitar. This is the first song from my new EP which is set to release 5/6/22

Hi here is our slowest and softest song lately. We hope you like it!

Press info blurb:
“Shapes in Time” is new delicate instrumental song by Japan-based band, Lullatone.
A soft ambient ode to life's little moments. Equally apt at fitting in the background while focusing for work or taking a nap, the meditative melody swells and lulls like an ocean’s waves. 

The video, all shot around the the duo’s studio in Nagoya has the same kind of relaxing mood as the melody. A sleepy sunset sheds flickering rays of washed out light over their instruments as cassette tape loops and a homemade mobile spin in circles. Other instruments include a vintage wooden fender stratocaster, a milkman audio amp pedal providing the spring reverb, an organelle and OP-1 for granular sample mangling and more.

While nodding at the palette of the ambient essentials of the past, Brian Eno, Harold Budd, Aphex Twin, Stars of the Lid... the track feels also at home with more modern masters of the genre like Emily A. Sprague, Alaskan Tapes, Hainbach, Nila Sinephro and more. 
And though not quite classical, the composition has a similar atmospheric mood to the duo's most popular piano track "falling asleep with a book on your chest (piano version)". Leave it on in the background for a reading soundtrack or doing work or even falling to sleep with sweet dreams.

“Shapes in Time” はLullatone (ララトーン) の最新曲です。
ソフトでインストルメンタルなこの曲は、日々の小さな瞬間にささげる歌です。
仕事中、勉強中、お昼寝中など、何かに集中したい時の背景にぴったりと寄り添う瞑想的なメロディーは、波音のように繰り返し静かに響きます。

名古屋にあるスタジオで撮影された映像は、メロディーと同じようにリラックスしたムードを漂わせます。
本を読みながら聴く時も、猫のように昼寝をする時も、ゆるくて心安らぐBGMになります。

Lullatoneは毎月新曲をリリースするプロジェクトを進行中です。このトラックはシリーズ４曲目になります。

Thanks for listening,
Shawn & Yoshimi

From the album: JARR - Talking About X

Physical copies and digital downloads available here:

Sound In Silence proudly announces the addition of JARR to its roster of artists, presenting their new album Talking About X.

JARR is a collaborative project between British ambient guitarists Yellow6 and Wodwo.
Jon Attwood started Yellow6 as a solo guitar project in the late 90s, initially inspired by space/post-rock, electronica and reverb soundscapes. From his debut single on the Enraptured label, Attwood’s discography runs to over 150 releases, spanning a wide spectrum of atmospheric post-rock and minimalist ambient music. Throughout Attwood’s illustrious career, his music has featured on The John Peel Show and Resonance FM, has provided the soundtrack to several films and TV documentaries, and found homes on labels such as Make Mine Music, Resonant, Cathedral Transmissions, Silber and Somewherecold.
Wodwo is the alias of Ray Robinson, an award-winning novelist and screenwriter with literary works that have been adapted into major motion pictures. Inspired by artists such as Yellow6, Yutaka Hirasaka and Marcus Fischer, Robinson’s foray into ambient music began in 2018 and his compositions have quickly attracted a blossoming legion of fans.

Talking About X is JARR’s second full-length album, following their debut An Echo In Her Skin, released on Hush Hush Records in 2021 to critical acclaim. Their new album, made up of nine new tracks with a total duration of about 50 minutes, is stylistically different to their debut, being more heartfelt and emotional. Its sound is far more expansive and melodical, while the soundscapes are still solidly post-rock but with a much dreamier, more ambient feel.
Talking About X is a captivating album with a dreamlike quality, carefully mastered by George Mastrokostas (aka Absent Without Leave) and highly recommended for devotees of Labradford, Roy Montgomery and Harold Budd.

Talking About X comes in two distinct editions.

The first one is a deluxe limited edition of 100 handmade, hand-stamped and hand-numbered collectible copies. This edition includes an exclusive bonus disc, not included in the other edition or the digital download. The bonus disc, entitled More About X, includes X new tracks with a total duration of X minutes. It is packaged in a lovely, hand-tied, sewn fabric envelope, which includes two 4 panel insert sheets containing tracklist and information printed on 250 gsm light green and light brown recycled cardboards and the front cover images printed on polaroid style photo paper. It also comes bundled with a download code coupon and a Sound In Silence card.

The second one is a limited edition of 200 handmade and hand-numbered collectible copies. It is packaged in a lovely hand-stamped 127mm x 127mm 250 gsm light green recycled cardboard envelope with the front cover image printed on a polaroid style photo paper and an insert sheet containing tracklist and information printed on a 120 gsm light brown recycled cardboard. It also comes bundled with a download code coupon and a Sound In Silence card.

JARR - The One Who Was Terrified Of Cats

'Spanish Sahara' is one of my favourite songs, which comes off my favourite album (Total Life Forever) by my favourite band, https://soundcloud.com/foals, so I couldn't stop myself from remixing this song.

I had the remix sitting around for about a year, then decided to pick it up again and spice it up by mixing in https://soundcloud.com/hellohonne - 'No Place Like Home (ft. https://soundcloud.com/iseejones)'. 

For me, the two songs sat well together and complimented each other in a new and interesting way. I really liked the contrast between Yannis' fragile and hushed vocals, and Honne's / JONES' smooth and strong verses.

Boomkat's description (http://boomkat.com/vinyl/601376-billow-observatory-billow-observatory):

"Nearly a decade in the making, 'Observatory' features Jonas Munk (Manual) and Jason Kolb (Auburn Lull) striving for ambient guitar perfection as Billow. Arguably, they've come close to achieving their practically impossible mission, conducting themselves with divine patience and deliberation across 15 achingly blissful scenes at once evoking the humbling beauty of the natural world and the yearning sublimity of more soporific states thanks to near-surgical application of software and hardware effects. Unless you're au fait with the likes of Fennesz or Stars Of The Lid, you might never tell that the guitar is at the heart of this record, yet beneath its phosphorescing, crepuscular drones and plangent sonorities the simple six string generates all the source material. So the world it inhabits is essentially that one between states, simulating a quietly vibrant ecology of sub-aquatic bass rumbles, washed out expanses of mid-range swirl and keening top end whose elusive colours seem to fade and coruscate in the low light. Lovely."
