Warmth - Ocaso

Taken from "Between Land & Sky"

Last copies of the limited edition CD available here: https://shimmeringmoodsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/between-land-sky

Hailing from the U.K, HERE (Simon Vince) has been making music for over 20 years under various electronic alias’s, HERE being his latest venture. 
Fusing melancholic electronica, harmonised with ambient, drone & experimental genres, HERE captures an ‘ever-flowing etherial soundscape that oscillates the soul of the Here & Now’. 

HERE’s debut on Shimmering Moods ; "Between Land & Sky" (The name of one of Vince’s first ambient projects back in 2003) invites listeners on a transcendent journey that blurs the boundaries between earth and ether. 

Through ethereal soundscapes, this 8 track album explores this liminal space where reality melts with dreams. Each track weaves intricate layers of sublime and often haunting textures, creating a rich tapestry that reflects the serenity and chaos of nature’s fluidity. 

Navigating through celestial ambient landscapes that invite reflection on one’s place in the world—caught in the delicate balance of the tangible and the vast, the known and the infinite.

HERE - Lunar

For this track, we recorded our handpan, shamanic drum, and voices, weaving them together to create a deep and organic sound. To enhance the atmosphere, we added layers of synth textures in Cubase, giving it a medieval/Nordic vibe—evoking the echoes of ancient times.

For me, this music feels like a journey through forgotten realms, where myths come alive, and whispers of old magic linger in the air. It’s a portal to a world beyond time, where the past and present merge in sound and spirit.

Close your eyes, let the rhythm guide you, and allow yourself to drift into the unknown…

Tout commence dans l'Eau-Mémoire, source vivante au pied de Karsak’a, le rocher et la source. Dans la Grotte des Échos, les voix anciennes se répondent, jusqu’à l’accord discret d’Hepicart. Alors s’ouvre l’océan intérieur, marée calme menant à la Bibliothèque fractale, où chaque fragment porte le tout. Plus haut, les nappes d’air nous relient, et Rosika — Mémoire douce apaise le rythme. Puis surgit (O)vni (N)ew (U)niverse, apparition d’un ailleurs déjà présent. Enfin, les Rivières-cosmos reprennent leur cours, reliant la terre et le ciel, laissant circuler la mémoire.

Repose is an ambient experiment created with the intention of aiding sleep and meditation. The music is meant to replace the space in our mind taken up by thoughts anxiety and worry. 

I calibrated my instrument’s tuning to 432hz, which has indeed given it a different feel. However, I cannot say with scientific or historical confidence that tuning in that way is truly more beneficial to mind body or spirit. I can say that the long-form music contained in this album easily disappears into the background along with the over active mind. 

A field recording from the forest has also been buried within to subtly keep the listener grounded as not to float too far away. 

For those like me who have trouble with sleep or meditation, this album could prove to be a beneficial tool and an artful listening experience for other fans of the genre. 

Please feel free to get in touch and let me know about your experience.

Paprat (excerpt from a journey)

Gray Acres are brothers Michael and Andrew Tasselmyer, whose debut album was released last year on Sound In Silence. The project began in 2017 as another creative avenue for these two artists, who are already established as Hotel Neon as well as working on other collaborations and solo ventures. Andrew records under his own name as well as working with Tobias Hellkvist as Mordançage whereas Mike records under the alias Transient Sounds.
The brothers are originally from Baltimore in USA and whilst Mike still lives there, Andrew moved a hundred miles or so away to neighbouring city Philadelphia. Their work is initially created independently by building ideas, loops and recordings and these are realised into full tracks once they get together in person.

Material Forces became the name of the follow-up to last year’s eponymous unveiling, a dense but physical drift session which is as tactile as it is lulling. They did not initially have a clear vision on what this record would eventually become and much of it was performed live, with limited post-production. A key element is some field recordings taken in Asia, which provided the influence for the concept as they were all selected specifically for their powerful, intense characteristics. Rushing water, thunder claps, rock, earth and other heavy materials helped inspire the title ‘Material Forces’ as these field recordings become a focal point in which the power of the natural world collide with softer, processed guitar and synth drones to mimic the undeniable beauty that is left behind by nature as it shifts and evolves.
