Premiere: The Soulscaper - Mansion on the Hill [CIRRUS1]

101*3: The clouds drift by gently and there's a smell in the air reminiscent of apollo fruits. I lay down in the grass and for a brief moment everything is at peace.

Mammo - Variable / Plate (NDJ003)

Montreal-based producer https://soundcloud.com/priori-ties Priori has a new release on the horizon with Midgar's "Pareidolia." The title is inspired by the phenomenon of recognizing familiar patterns in random objects, which Priori artfully incorporates into his sound design. Imagine anthropomorphic water droplets ascending to a higher plane of existence. The release coincides with the label's 9th anniversary. 

Written and produced by Francis Latreille
Mastering by Anne Taegert at D&M Berlin

Cousin - Rosie // On2 - MSH014 (Snippets)

We’re pleased to have Montreal-based artist Priori on the remix of Stefan Vincent's “Yonghegong...”. His rework draws a further emotion by slowing the pace and bringing delicate melodies to the forefront; it’s one for introspection.

On New Year's morning, Cousin took a weary-eyed walk... ‘HomeSoon’ he thought, whilst cutting to the path by the Angophora Forest. As he made it down to the overgrown sidewalk, he caught a sudden sense of warmth from the surrounding flora. On closer focus, it was as if the plants and flowers had come alive...pulsing forward down the path as they bounced, smiled, and sneered all around him. Against logic, he was struck by an almost Garsonian desire to communicate with them.

This feeling lingered, persisting through several studio sessions. The music written over this period makes up this EP. How directly this experience informed the music is hard to say. What effect it had on the surrounding plant life is even harder to tell… we do hope, however, through listening to it, you’re a little more tuned in to them.
