Info:

Ian M Hazeldine records under the alias Antonymes, hailing from Hawarden, a small village in North Wales, whose most famous inhabitant was William Ewart Gladstone. He creates atmospheric melodies, using various pianos, celesta, strings, church organ and field recordings, and has had releases on Soundcolours, Cathedral Transmissions, Hidden Shoal, Time Released Sound and Rural Colours.

With a long standing interest in music making and active listening, Hazeldine works with any influences, from his surrounding landscape to the artists he has worked with. His compositions often take on a semi-improvised structure with accidental atmospheres used as a starting point. As well as his own projects, Hazeldine also works with Marconi Union's Richard Talbot, under the name Prospector. He also works as a graphic designer, film maker and photographer, having art directed many of the Hibernate releases including our critically acclaimed vinyl series, and has worked with many other artists and labels including Facture, Field Rotation and Olan Mill.

In late 2009 Antonymes released 'Beauty Becomes the Enemy of the Future' on Cathedral Transmissions of which the CD is now unavailable. Since then he has revisited the album, which has culminated a new release, 'There Can Be No True Beauty Without Decay'. Hazeldine's own reworkings are intertwined with those of friends Ian Hawgood, Isnaj Dui, Offthesky, Field Rotation, Wil Bolton, Spheruleus and James Banbury to create an album of captivating melancholy and beauty. The guest reworkings venture into other, darker territories, where one might be harder pressed to identify the original material.

The sleeve features beautiful images of the North Wales landscape by Richard Outram, fitting the music perfectly.

A beautiful extended version of Levi's original Places Series track, Dissociation. New textures, space and melody are introduced in this emotionally charged soundtrack piece.

Portrayed as places of magic and mystery and of death and decease, forests are a rich source of imagination - a place where fiction and fairy-tale come alive or where darkness is allowed to flourish undeterred. 

Conjured in the barren surroundings of a pine forest in Matakana, New Zealand, ‘Dissociation’ stirs all of the enchantment and subtle mysticism of a woodland world screened from prying eyes. There’s a peace at work that only nature can bring but also the untrusting trepidation of something of which we have no control. “It felt quite wondrous but with a subtle dark undertone,” Levi explains. “I wanted to capture the almost surreal feeling of the place and the mystery of exploring it.” 

‘Dissociation’ invites a curiosity and a gleeful sense of the unknown. School-room xylophone melodies evoke a happy abandon that promises adventure and escape; like dancing in-between tree trunks or finding giggly solitude in games of hide and seek. A track rich on slow-building, swirling atmospherics, it’s a casual wonder into a secret garden, tip-toeing down leafy paths and bursting into clearings chasing the sunshine. But there’s also the subtle undertone that, if you do go into the woods today, there’s a difference between being happily lost and hopelessly missing.

Zwischen den Tönen · Geborgen im Klang

Dieses Album ist eine Einladung zur Ruhe.
Zu dem Raum, der entsteht, wenn Musik nicht antreibt, sondern trägt.

Die Klavierstücke auf dieser CD sind bewusst reduziert.
Zwischen den Tönen bleibt Stille – und genau dort darf sich dein Nervensystem entspannen.
Kein Leistungsdruck. Keine Worte. Kein Müssen.

Zwischen den Tönen / Geborgen im Klang begleitet dich
– beim Loslassen
– beim Ankommen
– beim Einschlafen
– oder einfach in Momenten, in denen du dich wieder spüren möchtest.

🎹 Hinweis:
Dieses Stück ist Teil einer vollständigen CD mit mehreren aufeinander abgestimmten Titeln.
Die größte Wirkung entfaltet sich, wenn das Album als Ganzes gehört wird – als ruhiger, geschlossener Klangraum.

📌 Tipp:
Jeder COACH BEATS Song wirkt umso tiefer, je öfter man ihn hört.
Wiederholung lässt innere Unruhe leiser werden.
