We’re pleased to welcome back Toronto, Canada’s anthéne in the form of this collaborative album with UK cellist and composer Simon McCorry. Between them, they have released solo recordings on labels such as Home Normal, Archives, Past Inside The Present, Naviar and Fallen Moon. They’ve also both released on Polar Seas, a label helmed by Brad Deschamps, the man behind anthéne.

Both artists are comfortable collaborators, having worked alongside the likes of Ian Hawgood, Andrew Tasselmyer and Andrew Heath. It was in 2020 when their remote recording sessions translated into The Equation Of Time, combining and processing Brad’s guitar and Simon’s cello into a collage of droning textures. A concept sprang from their work together, during the unfolding pandemic and its resulting lockdowns, where time itself seemed to stand still, go backwards and go forwards, all at once. Add to this the the sheer geographical distance and time zones separating these artists, the often-explored artistic muse of time and space became the central theme.

The title ‘The Equation Of Time’ relates to the differences between the day of the earliest sun rise, the day of the latest sunset, the longest day. Each of these days are different, noted by the ancient Greeks and the Persians before them. The enormity of time and the ability for humans to occupy the same space as multiple predecessors is particularly fascinating when faced with something ancient, such as a cave painting, a forest or the ruins of a fallen civilisation. The track titles are aptly borrowed from parts of T.S. Eliot’s 4 Quartets, which also deals with the contemplation of time. You can surmise from these poems that ideally, one would focus only on the present, in order to make the most of each turn of the clock; the past cannot be altered and the future is unknown. Our memory can subconsciously serve us back our own recollection of past times, which can result in nostalgia, melancholy or both. Our minds can also influence our perception of the future, with feelings of either fear, excitement or both.

The Equation Of Time grapples at these themes and ideas without the intention of ever truly being able to define time. A wash of faded memories, unknowns and current thoughts stir into one-another; ambient music itself always seems so able to reflect and evoke a sense of wonder, at things far bigger than we can ever comprehend.

This is a mix that came out a few months back via the Electronic Music Culture series Atmospheres. It flew under the radar a bit so I thought I'd repost it here. It features a handful of artists who continually inspire me. The mix is anchored with the field recording of Champignonsdesbois and is called The World Is Full Of Noises.  

Below is the original blurb and full track listing that was posted at by E.M.C. at time of original release.

E.M.C. is thrilled to present the new guest of our Atmosphere playlist: Moss Covered Technology
Based in South West UK, Greig Baird debuted with the Moss Covered Technology alias in 2016 for Eilean Records. His works are inspired by the ideas and aesthetics emerging from the observation and experience of natural landscapes and environments, creating unique atmospheres. Since his debut, Greig has gone on to release ambient works for some prestigious labels reflecting his music taste, such as Hibernate Records, Polar Seas Recordings, and Dronarivm.
Let's have a dive into this special mix "The World Is Full Of Noises"!

A Memory Away
by Dynastor

CD/Digital

Lingering fingerprints of a time bygone, hints of a scent once always, a photograph. The dust settles, dancing in the the last rays of sunlight. These days were felt and the smiles and tears we shed are now or the past. The letters we wrote remain, the pictures fade as the world beyond the lens morphs into its ever changing continuum, leaving us with just our creation; a memory away. This album is an expression of nostalgia, capturing the bittersweet evocation of reading letters from the past, seeing the photographs, the wrenching effect of smelling the familiar scents of a time long passed and realizing that the world is always changing, and so are you. Created with many recordings of nature, instruments, non-instruments and processed using a wide variety of techniques including tape, granular synthesis and analog synthesis, Dynastor explores the storytelling quality of music, creating evocations of places, people, memories and their passing.

Limited to 50 CD's, handmade covers, various colors available, hand numbered:

In the ever-expanding universe of psychill and downtempo, few artists bridge the gap between ancient spirituality and modern production as seamlessly as Mexico’s Ivan Meyer, better known as Hoova. His latest full-length offering, The Chakra Journey, released on the venerable Altar Records, is more than just an album; it is a meticulously structured sonic ceremony designed to align the listener from the root up.

True to its name, the album follows a narrative arc through the seven energy centers of the body. Hoova’s signature style, a lush blend of deep ambient, organic textures, and Chakra tonal elements, is on full display here.

Expect a transition from the grounding, earthy slow percussions of the Lower Chakras to the shimmering, ethereal synths and "angelical" vocals that define the Heart and Crown.

Available in both 16-bit and 24-bit studio master quality on Bandcamp, the depth of the soundstage is remarkable. The 24-bit version, in particular, allows the Solfeggio-inspired frequencies to breathe, creating a 3D-like immersion that is Altar Records’ hallmark.

Highlight: The 'Bonus Full Chakra Experience'
The crown jewel of the Bandcamp release is the long-form track, "Bonus Full Chakra Experience." While individual tracks work well for focused meditation, this continuous mix is where the "journey" aspect truly takes flight.

It functions as a guided shamanic dance ritual without words, using only the evolution of rhythm and frequency to move the listener through different states of consciousness. It’s a seamless, hour-plus odyssey that makes the album an essential tool for yoga practitioners, therapists, or anyone seeking a deep-tissue "soul massage."

The Chakra Journey cements Hoova’s reputation as a master of "healing electronics." He avoids the clichés of "elevator New Age" by keeping the grooves intelligent and the atmospheres emotionally resonant. If you enjoyed his previous works like Mystic Frequencies, this is the natural, more expansive evolution of that sound.

A high-fidelity bridge between the dancefloor and the zafu.
