O Magnum Mysterium - Morten Lauridsen

"Lo Boier" is a mysterious Chant left for us by the Gnostic Cathars, when they were killed and annhiliated by religious powers in the 13th/14th century. It is highly symbolically and contains a hidden message for spiritual seekers. 

Lyrics: Traditional Chant "Lo Boier"

Joanna Macy on life

We are delighted to welcome Alexander Gessner to the ad21 family! His first piano piece released under our label is a delicate fusion of quiet sweetness and romantic nostalgia, a neoclassical gem that invites listeners on a heartfelt and timeless journey.

Based in the mystic woods of the Eifel, Alexander is a German multi-instrumentalist and composer whose music radiates warmth, nature, and deep emotional storytelling. At the piano, he finds a world beyond duality, where melodies become stories and emotions come to life.

With nearly two decades of musical experience spanning multiple genres, his artistry reflects a rich tapestry of influences, from classical to rock. This new release under ad21 is a testament to his passion, talent, and dedication. Listen now and let yourself be carried away!

Beneath the Dreaming Sky

Hidden Shoal is proud to announce the release of ‘Towards Tragedy and Dissolution’, the stunning new single by acclaimed neo-classical ambient artist Antonymes, taken from the forthcoming album "(For Now We See) Through A Glass Dimly".
 
Sonically minimal yet emotionally formidable, ‘Towards Tragedy and Dissolution’ features the stirring string arrangements of James Banbury (The Auteurs) and Christoph Berg (Field Rotation), which engage in reflective conversation with Ian M. Hazeldine's plaintive piano. Its emotional potency and compositional dexterity draws you into an evocative world, demanding engagement.
 
In addition to James Banbury and Christoph Berg, "(For Now We See) Through A Glass Dimly" also includes contributions from composer Stefano Guzzetti, Joanna Swan (Ilya) and writer Paul Morley. Mixed by Stefano Guzzetti and Paul Humphreys (OMD), and mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri (The Sight Below), the album’s depth of sound is awe-inspiring. It is released by Hidden Shoal on 21st April 2016.
