08 The absolute, irreversible emptiness of extinction

Makeout music for nymphs, trolls, vampires and misfits.

Some of the music I create, collect, and contribute to over time.

Bålsam is a visual & sound artist from Minneapolis, Minnesota.

His journeys have brought him all over South America, where he began listening and recording the voice of nature through walks in the mountains. This became the raw material to transform his music. Now he lives in the mountains of Colombia with his partner Nina Nativa, where they work with ceremonies, therapy, rituals and plant medicines. Choosing this healing path for himself, has allowed him to open his heart, cleanse his body overcome fears and believe in his creation as a healing vibration.

"Wolf Songs Folk Songs" vinyl available now.  Here is a review from Lost in a Sea of Sound:

"The connective fibers of the physical and spiritual glide effortlessly on this sonic journey.  Wolf Songs Folk Songs can be a cool canopy to rest under or a sun drenched warm hilltop field, but this requires an investment from each listener.  The compositions tremendous diversity and complex patterns is like a heavy shower of rain. Listening under covered shelter a few times eventually provides the soundness to feel comfortable getting soaked.

Corwin Trails is the yoke pulling music heritage and innovation. Ten tracks, constellations in the night sky. Outlines in sound resting in current temporal sonic state. Beauty finding place in what remains unreachable, Corwin Trails rhythmic composites are like undiscovered elements within the planet's crust. Creating another aspect of these harmonies are field recordings from around the world and actual sounds from the forests of Corwin Trails home in Michigan. After many listens, one comparison that came to mind a few times is the album Lost and Safe by The Books."

The Cal-Tex band. We're a group in Houston that enjoys making meaningful music that grooves.

Behind L'ECHO DE L'ETANG is Phoene Somsavath. With their layered guitars, sparse piano and haunting vocals, they suggest a universe opening a field of intricacy.
